    Tire size 97 mustang GT

    You might check into 255/40r17.....they're just wider than 245, the actual difference is minimal, but they seem to look a lot wider. I've got them on 17x9 10th anniversary cobras and they look awesome. The 245/55r17 will look like a truck tire on your car.

    5-spd grinds into fifth....

    I've got a 1998 GT with a 5 spd and 94k miles. Recently it started to grind when I put it into fifth. It usually does it when the car is cold (ie. morning), but once i've driven it a little while it stops. I can usually double clutch and get around it, but sometimes it grinds anyway. It also...

    Jackstraw, Go to a free hosting site such as photobucket.com. They'll make you register, just like a forum. There you can upload pics from your computer onto their server. Underneath each of your pictures there will be "tags". Open the "post reply" window in stangnet, and copy the line and...

    5 Speed Linkage

    Wow. Usually it takes at least 20 posts for someone to get pissed off enough to leave us. I'm still at a loss for words as to how you can have a blown car with that many modifications and not know about shifters or boost guages. I guess I didn't know anything about SOHC when I bought my car, but...

    They're not jealous.... It's just mind blowing to see your laundry list of impressive mods, but you didn't know what a short throw shifter was. They are also super easy to install with basic tools. Why waste $100 on something you can do yourself.

    Need to maximize gas mileage

    Ambient tempp has nothing to do with it. Unless your getting gas in 1960 the pump you use compensates for anything that could distort the volume(temp, pressure, etc...). Sorry, my grandad was a petroleum engineer for phillips 66. I too get about 285 miles to my 15 gallon tank. Do you guys know...

    which white face gauges to buy?

    The kit i bought is just like yours ACSPONY, but mine doesnt cover the idiot lights. The best part is how much play you have with the brightness. The brightest setting is like the sun, but turned all the way down....its awesome.

    which white face gauges to buy?

    I bought a cheap reverse glow set off eBay ($30...shipped). They're all white...none of that tacky blue stuff. They look like '03 cobra guages and match my pioneer DEH 7700 and HVAC controls PERFECT. Only tacky part is a switch you can use to turn them green to blue and dim them. I tucked it...

    Clutch making small chirping when out... help

    Mine started chirping like you said.....lasted 3 days. Better take it easy until you get it fixed. I didn't have the resources to get the car high enough off the ground to drop the exhaust and the trans. I'm embarassed to say it cost $200 in labor alone. And thats the "buddy, ive known you for...

    Loud POP!!??

    sounds to me like a backfire, but ive never heard of an ohc car doing it. lack of backpressure will cause it....no cats and any high flow muffler will severely decrease your backpressure. just a thought. i might be totally wrong.

    serpintine belt shredding problem, please read

    Make sure your belt is completely aligned on the a/c condenser. I know it sounds stupid, but after i replaced a squealing tensioner pulley I had the same problem. Turns out the belt was only halfway on the a/c pulley. If you take the bracket that covers the tensioner arm off youll create a lot...

    A/C problems....help!

    Ive got a 98 gt, 88k, mostly stock. My a/c will blow cold for about 5 minutes, but then it gets warm. IF i shut it off and turn it back on, i can hear my compressor kick on, and then it shuts right back off. Everyone said I was low on refrigerant, so i bought a guage and checked. Its supposed to...

    Rear end noise???

    Ive been driving my 1998 GT for about a month now, and i have a horrible noise coming from what I think is my rear axle. Its a quiet, inconsistent grinding noise. I recently replaced the rear brake pads and while the calipers were off i spun the axles, but there wasn't any noise, so i didint...
