    Battery Size

    I know Walmart sells Optima, becuase I bought a blue top deep cycle for my camper there last year. I can't recall what sizes they sold though.

    Ever feel snubbed by the s197 crowd?

    Its a 2 way street guys. I'm an older (than most on this board, I think) car enthusiast with an 05GT (that I bought new in 05). I had a number of other cars previous to that, some mustangs, the most recent being an 02GT. If you're driving a nice car, you're going to get a thumbs up or a wave...

    Ford Racing Parts

    This is what I was looking at: http://www.brenspeed.com/mustang_2005/images/5553131kit.gif I've looked at a bunch of 05 message boards including this one, and it seems that by far, the most common and highly recommneded CIA + tune is from brenspeed. People seem to rave about the them, and...

    Premium Fuel

    He's talking about a Shelby GT that comes from the factory with a 91 tune. For a regular GT, 87 is the way to go, but for the Shelby, you're better off putting the premium in.

    Ford Racing Parts

    Thanks. I'll check them out too. I'm not really looking to do anything for a few more weeks until things hopefully melt and dry out. I'm just looking at getting FR axle back mufflers, nothing too exciting. Have you guys ever ordered from Brenspeed? I'm looking at getting a CAI and a...

    How to make my stang beat 2005 gt ?

    I traded my 02GT in for an 05GT back in 2005. You are right. Even in the 02 GT, the last gen "feels" way faster than the current one. Also to all those griping about the wieght of the 05. Remember the 05 has a way better weight distribution than the last gen. Its a far more balanced car...

    Roush 427R in Regina

    Ya, that was at the Golden Mile. Good to see he didn't park in the regular 6 foot wide spaces. I've blacked listed the mall for that very reason.

    Roush 427R in Regina

    I think I got a pic of it today at lunch with my phone. The quality sucks because I was trying to get the picture taken before a u-haul truck in the other lane blocked the view. I only saw it for a split second.

    what is up with 5.0 guys?

    It's kinda like how the 99-04 4.6 guys feel about the 05+ guys. As someone who has had both (traded in a 02GT) I would get lots of waves with my 02, but not even eye contact while I am in my 05.

    Where to buy cheap tires?

    I ended up getting the ones from Canadian Tire. They didn't have any problems selling the tires loose. Getting them mounted here really wasn't an option since the Camper is 450kms north of here. On a side note, you can just fit 4 of them into a Mustang.

    Where to buy cheap tires?

    Thanks. I'll try that if I can't get (below) to pan out. Canadian tire has them in the flier this week at 65.99 each. I'll more than likely go with that. Hopefully they'll just sell me the rubber as the camper is back at the parents farm. (Costco wouldn't give any price other than a mounted...

    Where to buy cheap tires?

    I need a set of rubber for my 1977 camper van. Given that the camper van isn't even worth $500 bucks, you can see my reluctance to spend much money on rubber for it. I got a quote from the Coop station back home for $72 + installation + taxes. (235/75R15) Do you think there is any better...

    Here is a good laugh for you guys

    Does the Corvette have CAGS, or what ever GM calls it? Its bascially a 1-2 shift lockout. They added it for fuel economy on some cars. I remember the last gen camaro's had it, and the think the GTO has it too. If you aren't driving the car hard, it locks out out of 2nd gear, forcing you to...

    How to change fog light bulb

    There is 6(I think) plastic pins holding that plastic cover down. Take a flat edge screw driver and pop the top of the pin up. Once it is up, the pin should just pull out. Once you have the plastic off, there is 2 bolts on each side of the grill. Remove those bolts, and the whole grill will...

    Car was shot while I was in it! Pictures inside

    There is now way that is from a pellet or BB gun. I grew up on a farm, and shot plenty of old cars that were in the bush with BB and pellet guns, and the worest you could do is less than a stone chip in the windshield. Looking at the damage, It actually looks like a rock or marble hit from a...

    Anyone else have this problem?

    Depends. If we were to drag race on ice, I am pretty sure my jeep would beat my mustang.

    Raced my brothers 07 GT

    The seat of my pants told me my 02 was faster down low too (and it just had the stock gears. My 05 has the standard 3.55 gears, but I think 3.55 is an option for 07) I don't know why it felt faster. The 05 is much more civilized under power, and the windows are higher up, so I think those 2...
