After reading several posts regarding various mods including shifters, I decided to invest a good chunk of change and get an MGW shifter. I must say, that without a lift, the installation was a PITA. Lost a lot of knuckle skin and even a little blood. I'm a big guy with big hands. However...

Does anyone here have the Steeda SPORT shifter kit? Steeda Sport Shifter Kits - '05-'09 Ford Mustang This is the cheaper version of the sport shifter assembly, and sells for around $140. I can't imagine assembly and attaching it to the shift arm could be too difficult. I do not do any...

As part of my used car saga, I continue to find suspicious things with my car. My 05 Mustang GT was purchased from CarMax with 65K miles on it. The CarFax report gave me no information beyond the car was purchased by a private owner. No inspections, no licence plate renewals.... nothing...

I recently had to replace my 05 GT due to a nice womans refusal to stop for a red light. :mad: My "new" ride is also an 05 GT. However, it appears someone had minor bodywork done to the car in Bubba's back yard. Not only were they too lazy to remove the front grille and turn signal lenses...

Thanks to a nice woman who did not believe the traffic light was red enough, I got the opportunity to replace my 05 Mustang GT. (see avatar):( Regretfully, I could not afford a new Stang, and with limited time and money ended up with a used 05 GT. It is white and was driven nearly 65K miles...

I just finished changing my oil about 400 miles ago. I use Mobile 1 and Puralator synthetic media filter. While driving along the highway, I noticed my oil pressure guage was reading near max. Even at idle the pressure was running high. Everything else is normal. Any ideas???? :shrug:

Gee I hope this has not been hashed out on this forum already..... I did do a quick search, but no specific info. I am considering building a new motor for my 05 GT. (more HP) Installing the typical P&P heads, cams, springs, headers, etc. It is the block and bottom end I'm having...

I attempted to install some Hawk HPS pads on the rear of my stang today before going to work in the afternoon...... and failed. I purchased a universal caliper piston rotating tool and went to work. Disassembly went fine, man my rear brake pads were baked! Anyhow, the caliper piston...

Which is better? 255/50's or 275/40's on stock 17inch rims? :shrug: I will be installing a set of Ford Racing springs regardless of the choice. My current 255/45's have quite a bit of wheel well gap. I am most concerned with handling. I like to turn fast and sharp.:D Will a higher...

I am considering lowering my Stang with a set of springs. Anyone using poly spring isolators???? If so what type/brand, and do they squeek or otherwise hurt or help? I figure while I have the springs off, might as well do the job right.:D

Does the anti-lock brake lamp light up when the system is active????:shrug: The Ford handbook is not specific. It only addresses system malfunctions. I'd like to know, as I have attempted to brake in very slick conditions and have not noticed any anti-lock anything.

I removed my throttle body assembly last week to make some measurements for a home built throttle body spacer. (Not that difficult) I'm making it out of Delrin plastic for ease, heat resistance and light weight. I found quite a bit of oily residue in the throttle body throat and beyond...

Hey all, I've just about worn out the factory tires and want to install a new set of 275/40/17's all around. I need a tire with some decent tread life around 30K miles, as I put nearly 25K miles per year on my car. Treadwear of 300. But I also need performance. Traction AA, Temp A...

Anyone out there have program files for the Xcal 2 they would like to share? I finally broke down and got the Xcal 2, but would like some files to play with. Any suggestions regarding how to use the various downloadable software would also be helpful to me.

I'm ready to bit the bullet and purchase an Xcal 2 to replace my old Xcal 1. Anyone know of a company that is accepting some kind of trade in for my old Xcal 1? :shrug: Who has the best price for an Xcal 2 out there?

Can anyone tell me what can be changed with this software? :shrug: I need to know all of the parameters, before I break down and purchase the interface cable. Yes an Xcal 2 would be better.... but I have no money for it.:(

Since my car was delivered December and it has always had a problem with the heater/AC blower fan controls. For whatever reason... you can not direct the air to blow towards the floor. It blows fine out the top vents and from the defrost vents, but anytime you select the floor or any...

Anyone got a clue what might be wrong here????:shrug: Occasionally on hard acceleration of 3/4 to WOT, I am hearing what sounds like a diesel engine from under my hood. I assume it is detonation.:notnice: The problem does not seem to be associated with outside air temperature or a...

Has anyone actually measured the diameter of the GT fog lights? (No guessing or estimates) I'm looking for a H-4 (hi/lo beam) lamp upgrade. There was a post several months ago by a guy who used V.W. headlamps, but I'm looking for a direct replacement.

Hey all, Finally got my 4.10's installed on the stang. :banana: They did not seem to hurt the cars drivability in any way. (I was a bit concerned about 1st gear being too agressive) I have noticed a great improvement in 3rd and 4th gear acceleration. 5th gear is really nice, no more...
