    New to Mustangs and trying to decide what to order

    So far, in my opinion, you're off to a good start. I like everything you have listed save for the Magna Ride (personally, I think that the stock shocks are enough and if you want more, there are plenty in the aftermarket along with springs) but to each his own. Seating is subjective so the...

    How to buy new?

    With X-Plan, you can build the car the way you want (options and all) and then check out what the price would be. Check out www.fordpartner.com so that you can see what I'm talking about. You'll need a discount code to get in though so check with your employer on what that code is. This will...

    How to buy new?

    Usually, the best time to purchase is at the end of the month or at the end of the quarter but if you can make those 2 dates coincide, you'll pick up the best deals as the dealers don't want to pay the taxes on inventory sitting on the lot. Typically, dealers will show their "bottom line"...

    Sub For 2016 Mustang?

    Not to be an a$$ but frankly, you are asking an open-ended, opinion question. I have a couple of questions for you that may help you drill-down to a success path: 1) You didn't specify what type of head unit you currently have; aftermarket or stock? If stock, then what type? 2) Are you...

    2011 Gt Looking To Install Gears

    It really depends on what you will be doing in the future: if it will be just a few bolt ons or will you be thinking about power adders/engine builds. There has been some talk in that you won't see much performance gains by changing 1 set up; 2 gear sets are recommended for experiencing some...

    Ignition Coil Question

    Just performed a little search and WOW, what at PITA!! Can't believe that Ford issued a TSB for 2-piece plug removal! I don't have any 3 valve engines in the stable but I'm just amazed at some of the problems that have been identified. I'm in total agreement with 90lxwhite; they should have...

    Ignition Coil Question

    When was the last time the plugs/wires were replaced? How are the connectors looking? Any arcing or "dark marks"on the connectiors? Is the computer throwing a code? Any diagnostics performed? Engine hesitation/misfiring? These are just some of the questions I can immediatly think of (I...

    2005 V6 Auto

    First off, I haven't installed any power adders to any of my rides but having friends who have, I have a little knowledge on this. Using some of the information you provided and a little help from the internet, your ride rolled off the assembly line with 210 hp at the crank and 240 ft-lbs of...

    Stock Alarm Randomly Goes Off

    Being that the car is almost 10 years old, it's bound to have some problems. A quick search on the web gave some answers. Try this link: http://mustangforums.com/forum/4-6l-1996-2004-modular-mustang/637221-ford-aftermarket-security-system-help.html If the car still starts and runs, you may...

    Seat Upholstery Replacements

    Nice. I was just curious because I see a lot of black seats and wanted to know if anyone had made the change. Not too long ago I was at the dealer and he stated that the interior colors are chosen by computer based on previous sales. While I know that you can "build" a Mustang and have a few...

    Help Me Price This 2011 V6?

    I agree with Noobz347 and madspeed. Look somewhere else. You may end up in the private sector. This reminds me of when I was purchasing my first Mustang. Dealer didn't want to move $1000 so I left. Found my car which was a year newer, 20k miles less and for less money. It was being sold...

    Seat Upholstery Replacements

    Thanks bdcardinal. I was thinking that someone would reply with Katzkin but I wasn't sure anyone has purchased seat upholstery from them. My question was more along the lines of to see if anyone has done it and if they had any before or after pictures. Thanks Deysha. I'll send you a PM.

    Seat Upholstery Replacements

    So, after being away from Mustangs for a while (well, I wasn't "away"...just haven't owned one for a bit), I'm considering buying a 2013 or 2014 GT. My only concern is that from the dealer and third party websites (Autotrader.com etc.) I'm finding a lot of cars with black seats and interiors...

    Steering and Suspension Issues

    This is actually a three part question so here I go. Well, the situation is this: last week I had my front driver tire go flat on me because of improper wear on the tire due to a front alignment issue (negative camber). After a new set of front tires and $320 missing from my wallet, I got to...

    But can you re-program a key yourself that was already programmed by the dealer?

    help car wont stay on theft light

    After the car dies, does the theft light blink rapidly? If so, then your key is probably de-programmed or shot. You can try the other key to see if it will work. I've had this happen to me multiple times and the last time I had to have the car towed to the dealer after trying both keys. It...

    Brake pad change help

    I believe they call it a Rear Caliper Adjustment Tool and you can pick one up from Auto Zone or any auto parts store. It's used to screw in the caliper because Ford believed that this was a better idea. It can be a little tricky getting it to turn as it takes some skill and a few attempts to...

    should i sell?

    I'm in the same boat as you..I'm be graduating in May as well and I also want to get a new car (Mustang of course) but that won't happen until I have a decent job and can afford the payments. In addition, my car just rolled over 120k and I just put in a new suspension (springs, shocks, struts...
