    What's The Automatic Selectshift Like To Drive?

    To be honest its the best auto I've ever experienced. I came from a GT 5 speed and was, still am, surprised how much I like it. The car itself is also pretty amazing to drive: you can just throw it into corners, brake scary late and its just on rails. But, its a BMW and now that its got some...

    What's The Automatic Selectshift Like To Drive?

    The title asks the question. My first GT was an 01 GT manual that I loved and drove for almost 160K miles. Been driving a Mini Cooper S with the automatic triptronic or something like that. I've actually really loved the way I can use the auto like an sequential manual: pull it back to upshift...

    Just turn 140K how to get to 200K?

    I've just turned 140K on my 01 vert and I'm wondering what I need to do to keep it going strong. I'm especially interested in what I need to do with the wheel bearings, tranny fluid (5sp), coolant and anything else I need to consider. I've replaced the ragtop, clutch and shocks (well after...

    Unusual exhaust question

    This is going to sound strange but I'm wondering if there is a performance exhaust that is quiet? I currently have Magnaflows and they sound great but I will be spending a lot of time in my car (starting a new job with a lot of tri-county travel) and will be on the phone more in the car also...

    What should I do?

    Hello Classic guys and gals, There is a 65, 289 down the street that my son has been drooling over for months. I go down and ask the lady if she is interested in selling and she says YES, enthusiastically. She hardly ever drives it anymore and really wants to get rid of it. I know very...

    Do computer need replaced?

    Well, that's good to know. He checked the injector, in fact the first thing he did was swapped out a new injector but when that didn't fix it he put the old one back in. He actually had the injector wired directly to the computer and tested that it was not sending any impulse so he's sure its...

    Do computer need replaced?

    Number six cylinder in my 01 GT vert is not firing and the mechanic has been able to determine the wiring harness is working fine but the computer is not sending the impulse. He is telling me the computer needs to be replaced and is trying to do so with a used one, which is fine if it works and...

    Springs for 02 GT vert

    I've had the Eibach Pros on my 01 Vert for about 4 years and I have been very happy with them. In fact I recommend them. I got about a 1.5 inch drop and I think it looks great. The ride is fine...its definitely a stiffer ride and I would not want it ANY stiffer than it is. Looks really good.

    Weapon X COPs

    Yeah, the blue ones are Moto Blue...a real waste of money. I've read all of the owners post over at the modular forum and was impressed. Definitely a lot of R&D. I'm ordering the cops and plugs tomorrow.

    spark plugs?

    Could somebody translate this into a coherent English sentence :rlaugh: Great question, by the way, and I'm interested in the same thing. My 01 smells rich at idle and I've wondered the same thing. I asked a Ford service guy about a "tune" and he basically told me its all up to the computer...

    2000 GT convert question(s)....

    I've got an 01 Vert, manual tranny with 127000on her. Best car I've ever owned. I love her. I just replaced the top, cost me about $950 and the stang looks brand new. Replaced the clutch at about 90k. Had a COP go out at about 115k and replace them with crap blue accel type coils...three...

    Weapon X COPs

    Anyone running these? I replaced my cops about 3 months ago with a set from one of the performance stores...they didn't have the Accels so I bought their version the blue ones. What a terrible product! Within 3 weeks the first one fail, a month later another one and now a third is on its way...

    She's getting old...

    My 01 has 120K. New clutch at 94k and just replaced my COPs. I love my car and she loves me. She is by far the best car I have ever owned. There is still nothing else that temps me to leave her... She's so pretty...and naughty!
