    AUX input on 2004 Mach 460 head unit

    My 2004 has the Mach 460 stereo and there's an AUX button on it. Has anyone tried to use this? Is there some input jack on the back that will take an MP3 player?

    MM LCAs: A year and a half later...

    So I'm changing out the rear spring isolators and I find this... It looks like the high and mighty Maximum Motorsports brand rusts too. The factory isolator (rubber cup) fits over that center piece and traps moisture in. The replacement polyurethane ones from StangSuspension are open in the...

    Transmission Cooler Lines

    I have an auxiliary transmission cooler on my 04 Mustang GT auto. I have rubber hoses and hose clamps right at the point where the stock solid cooler lines attach to the radiator. The rubber lines go to the aftermarket cooler. I measured the temperatures last winter and my transmission fluid...

    Stainless steel brake lines fixed my mushy brakes

    My brakes have always been spongy compared to my Ford Ranger or my friend's Chevy Blazer. It was always one of those things that bummed me out because I expected a sports car to have really good brakes. I just assumed the truck brakes were better than car brakes. A friend of mine was upgrading...

    Impact wrenches

    I bought an impact wrench and it's all new to me. I have never owned one before. I was taking my tires off this afternoon and sometimes when I set the impact wrench down, it would spin the socket on its own. Not always but sometimes. You can hear a little bit of hissing when it's just sitting on...

    Air compressors: SCFM vs tank size

    Air compressor 1: 3.7 SCFM @ 90 PSI with a 25 gallon tank Air compressor 2: 5.2 SCFM @ 90 PSI with a 5 gallon tank Critique my thinking.... Compressor 1 will take a long time to fill the 25 gallon tank. But once it is filled, you'll have the required pressure to run an impact wrench. As you...

    Rear Seat Delete: Do I need to seal the MDF?

    I bought a rear seat delete kit a year or two ago. I didn't get the fully finished kit. Just the plain MDF boards cut to size. I was planning on applying my own carpet before installing it. At this point, I am thinking of just using wallpaper to cover it. Or maybe leave it bare. Not sure yet...

    Why should I get an Optima battery?

    I see many posts saying "Optima is the best", "Optima for teh win", "Well worth it" and so on. What I have not see is why. Why is Optima so much better than a regular Sears or Autozone battery? The way I see it is I can buy four Autozone batteries to cover me for 20 years for about the same cost...

    Where can I hide a small gun in my 04 GT?

    Anyone figure out secret hiding places for a small gun in a 99-04? I'd like to stash a small gun about the size of an open hand (6 inches long and about 5 inches tall and about 1.5 inches wide). The glove box is too obvious and the trunk is not accessible in a pinch. I'm in Texas and I have a...

They have a pace car that goes 80-85 mph, and three safety trucks that follow the group. That may sound boring in written text but the thrill of actually driving...

    75mm Accufab throttle body/plenum and fuel consumption MPG

    Anyone see a change in their MPG after installing a 75mm Accufab tb/plenum, or any other brand? I was averaging around 17-18 mpg with the stock set up and my first tank with the 75mm intake, I'm got 13 mpg. I didn't really stomp on it any more than I normally do.

    Mac Prochamber vs. Mac H

    I've had a 3 pc Mac Prochamber for over a year now and bought a slightly used 3 pc Mac H pipe from a friend. I just wanted to try out the H sound for comparison. Since Mac changed to a 3 pc interchangeable design, it only took eight nuts to swap the chamber for the H section. I didn't have to...

    Removing MACH460 for weight savings

    Has anyone removed their amps and speakers for weight savings? How much weight did it amount to? Any special considerations when removing all the junk from the rear dash? Any instructions out there? I don't use my factory stereo at all. I figured I can take out all six speakers, the amps and...
