    Would you trade in a mach1 on a new 5.0?

    It all comes down to what it is worth to the individual. If he feels like $20,000+ is worth getting a new car, then he should go for it, but if not then he should stick with his old car. The catch is how to put a price on things like: new car smell, new car technology thrills, having a...

    Prove my friend wrong stangnet

    The stock exhaust can be removed without cutting it off on jack stands in ones garage. I know b/c I did it. I didn't use any super high jack stands, just your standard car jack stands found at Sears. I did have to lower my rear axle, but it isn't that hard, a few bolts, two more jack stands...

    Are underdrive pulleys worth it?

    I have had BBK UDP's on my 02 for approximately 120,000 miles. Mine is a daily driver and so far no problems. I have almost 145,000 miles total. There are good instructions online to help you with specifics.

    trick flow heads

    What is the verdict about the TF heads. Are they worth it for a stock motor? What accesories are needed if any to make them work well i.e. stage 1,2,3 cams etc. Has anyone installed them and put some miles on them, are they worth it?

    Aren't all 02 GT's supposed to have ABS standard?

    I have an 02 with TC and ABS and mine works fine. I have had to use it a few times due to dumbass drivers. If you do have ABS and your brakes locked up than you need to get your ABS system checked out. Your brakes will lock up a little even with ABS. I don't know if this is true, but I have...

    Anyone have problems with Mr. Freeze kit?

    I don't have any proof either way with meth injection damaging the impellers, but I have an idea of where that concept came from. In steam power plants, the blades are spinning extremely fast and any wate droplets or any solid material other than steam can damage the turbine blades. At those...

    Valve Noise..

    Holy Crap, I better switch to 5w-30 right now, I mean I only have 145,000 miles on my 02 and have used only 5w-20 since my first oil change. If you think your engine (stock or mildly modified) is going to blow up b/c you use 5w-20 instead of 5w-30 than fine go ahead and use it, but don't tell...

    Backfiring Through Exhaust On Start Up

    I had the same problem with my 02 GT. It didn't throw any codes and it turned out to be the alternator. Once I replaced the alternator, the problem never came back and has been about 20 months. I researched the topic for several months and several people had the same problem and they were the...

    2010 Camaro

    Just goes to show we all have different opinions. For me, the 4th gen Camaro is one of the ugliest cars made. The 5th gen Camaro while not perfect looks great to me. The 2010 Mustang looks great except for the rear. I just don't see how Ford did such a good job on the rest of the car and...

    Electric super charger?

    Just as a quick reference I looked the specs on a regen. type blower. To produce around 500 cfm at 80 inches of H20 (about 3 psi) it has a 27 Hp electric motor. In short, it is a scam. Always remember, nothing is free and you can't cheat physics.

    PVC Pipe ok for Extending Radiator Hose?

    If you go with PVC, check the inside of the pipe after a few heat cycles. I have seen PVC and CPVC get destroyed from the inside out from chemicals and heat.

    What is everyone paying for your '10 Mustangs?

    I must have missed something. I haven't heard of someone buying a Mustang GT for $28,000 that didn't use some kind of restricted discount such as an X plan. Sure people can use those plan, but since most people can't than $28,000 really isn't the true price. Sure the new Mustang is a...

    What is everyone paying for your '10 Mustangs?

    With those kind of prices for a Mustang or a Camaro, the sells numbers will drop. Normal people can't and won't pay that much for a Mustang or Camaro. Sure the new Mustang might be a great car, but it is a Mustang, which I always thought was the average man's sport cars. I am saddened to see...

    July Sales - Camaro Vs Mustang

    I am the opposite. I have only seen two new Mustangs, both V6 and about 6-7 camaros, not sure if they were SS or not. I guess it depends on where you live.

    what to use to cut cast aluminum

    How straight do you need the cut can depend on how you cut it. Also, what tools do you have at your disposal? I am not sure how thick the wall of piece you are cutting is either. If you have a chop saw or cold saw either those would be great. Also, a band saw for metal, vertical or...

    Solve my problem and Ill mail you 10$

    Just some ideas. Is your car throwing codes? How is the theft light going off. Is it always on, flashing rapidly, etc.? I did a little searching and found some people have had problems with the PATS key system (security system). Try another key if you have one. As I understand it...

    Solve my problem and Ill mail you 10$

    There are four things that you must have for combustion in a gas engine: 1.) compression 2.) air (oxygen) 3.) spark 4.) fuel Since it seems to only happen when you move and not when you are sitting still than I would start checking the things that move when turning. Your air intake...

    2010 Camaro

    There were a lot of people that liked the Camaro when it first showed up and some that didn't. You must not have been reading the 2V section on this forum. There was post after post about the 4x4 look. Most people were not getting lowering springs for performance, they were getting them to...

    2010 Camaro

    I find it funny that when Transformers first came out, everyone thought the Camaro looked great and now they think it looks horrible. These same people also think the Challenger looks great. I guess that goes to show you that everyone is different and bueaty is in the eye of the beholder...
