    Ticking / Clicking noise from top/back of engine

    For a few months now, my '05 GT has had this weird ticking or clicking noise coming from the engine. Seems to be coming from the back end of the engine. At first, it was only when I first started it up in the mornings. Then, little by little, is has gone longer and longer. It now continues...

    Brakes, thinking about Brembo Blanks, where to buy?

    My front rotors are warped, they've already been turned once (just a few months ago :nonono:), so its time for new rotors and pads. After a little research, I think I'm gonna get Brembo Blanks and Hawk HPS pads. I'm having trouble finding Brembo blanks for an '05 Mustang GT. I found two sites...

    Smell like gas after driving car (real bad)

    I've had this car finished for several years, and I've put up with the gas smell every time I drive it, but its just getting old. The exhaust is terrible, it smells like a leaf blower; and I smell like gas after I drive it. I'm guessing maybe it's running too rich, maybe the timing is off...

    Build Supercharger "Kit" from scratch? use 5.0 charger?

    Has anyone out there tried to build a supercharger kit for an 05-09 GT part by part? Or maybe started with a 4.6 2V or 5.0 charger kit and modified it to work on an 05-09? Is there any reason why an '03 cobra supercharger kit couldn't work on an 05 GT?

    Questionable alternator...should I upgrade?

    My '67 (289) has a stock replacement alternator and voltage regulator. When I'm idling with the lights on, you can see the lights flicker with the rpm. I didn't used to notice it (years ago) but it has gotten pretty bad over the last couple years, maybe since I added the A/C, but I'm really...

    I'm thinking about selling my car within the next year, I have an idea of how much I think its worth, but I think the best people to ask are yal.

    F-body guys kicking our @$$ in this category...

    I have a buddy with a '91 camaro, he sent me a link to this video. I try to check out all the muscle car videos I can find, and there is no classic mustang video as good as that one. Are we gonna let those chebbys and crap out do us with their show off videos? I challenge somebody, whoever...

    Steering wheel moves around, side to side, up and down..?

    I had my manual steering box rebuilt, which required me to pull the whole damn thing out, no rag joint:fuss:. Anyway, after re-installing it, everything was fine, but after a while, the bearing or sleeve or whatever must have slipped down too far or something, because now the steering wheel...

    Electrical problem: flashers and turn signals

    Something has been wrong with the horn wiring on my car since I got it. I ended up just unpluging both horns and taking them out, rendering the horn button useless. Well I was driving the other day and noticed that when I turned the steering wheel to a certain spot, the steering wheel backing...
