Nearly a pointless thread here. Kind of a vent, but also a good warning to those of you thinking about selling. A little background. Back in 2005, I was working PT at a local Lincoln-Mercury dealer my senior year in high school. Shortly before I graduated, there was a 2000 Performance Red...

Thought I would share this with you guys. I'm getting awfully tired of toyota being bashed so hard. I've been a tech at toyota since june of 2007 and I love the brand. Still die hard mustang, but as far as work goes I'm pretty loyal. This picture is of the (4!!!!) floormats this customer had...

I told myself so many times I would do a write up of a mod since I appreciate it so much when others take the time to do it. So I finally got to it and took pictures for you guys. Enjoy. Cluster bezel out There are 2 7mm screws to take out. Those are the obvious. Then there are...

[/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] Should be a VERY nice improvement. Now I just need rotors, lines, and the rear bracket kit. Are drilled/slotted rotors worth it for a street car or will stock solid rotors suffice? I'm interested in the improved appearance as well, but stock replacements are far...

Got bored at work cause there aint **** to do, and ended up finding a set of front mach 1 seats at a local junk yard. Picked em up in good shape $400 for the pair and I'm loving them! Difference is night and day! I know I know, I'll try to get some pics but currently at work so I'll see what...

Hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction. I have a metal-metal type rattle noise, sometimes its almost like a grind. I have had the car on the lift at work, and I have pinpointed the noise to be coming from the bellhousing area. It does not matter if its hot or cold...

Mostly just venting here, but I find myself wanting a different mustang all the time. There are just way too many I like. It probably doesnt help that modding my own has been a very long and slow process, and I still havent really gotten anywhere. I do love my car, but when I think about how...

So I was at work yesterday using the tire balance machine and hit a jackpot. There were (4) used khumo ecsta tires sitting there after being taken off the previous night...supposedly they came off a 95 cobra. So I took them and stacked them up by my bay, they are size 255/45/17 and have...

Put them in last night at work since its been slow. Friend of mine (30yrs exp, racing exp, ford certified) helped me put them in. Had it all apart in about 20mins or so. Overall took about 2hrs or so getting it all set up right. All new bearings etc too since I have 112k on the car. Ran...

I have a 2000 GT with a 5spd. Current mods: Steeda Tri-ax, K&N drop in, Mac o/r H, Flowmaster cat back, FRPP adj. cable/quadrant. Whats the best way to spend $700? I want 4.10's and a tuner, but I can get a set of 3.73's for free. I will be doing all the work myself, I'm a tech and have...

Lets just call today cobra day... Early this afternoon a buddy calls me and asks if I want to go for a short ride to home depot in an 03 cobra, I tell him hell ya lets go so he came to pick me up about 20mins later. Turns out its got a few mods; pullied, catback, intake. The thing pulled...

Went up to MIR in MD for a few hours for opening weekend. My best ET was a 13.93 @ 102mph, which makes it my new best. The bad thing about it though was I ran it with a 2.2 60'. My last 13.9 was with a 1.9 60'. I should have been able to get 13.6-13.7's out of it, but I kept messing up with...

As the title says, how many of you have put a TOB in your car, and how many more than 1? I got my 2000 GT with 62k miles; everything about it was in excellent shape. The underside clean with no rust, engine runs great, paint flawless, interior sharp, etc. 2wks after I get the car, the TOB...

A couple weeks ago driving home from my GF's house in PA, I got a ticket on I-95 in MD. I wasnt aware it was a 55mph zone (my fault, but honestly if I knew, I probably wouldnt have slowed down much anyway). The ticket was for 73 in a 55. I got a letter in the mail just now for the court...

I know its not exactly fast, but I am making progress so I am happy with myself. First time to the track back in april with the Stang I ran a best of 14.0 @ 99mph. I went back to the track this weekend on fri night and made 5 passes. A 14.5, 14.1, 14.3, 14.3, 13.9 respectively. The 14.5 I...

For as long as I've had the car, I've had the common squeeking T/O bearing issue. This started just a couple weeks after I got the car. I put a new clutch disc and pressure plate, T/O bearing and pilot bearing in, and 5,000 miles later the same noise came back. I was frustrated, but it wasnt...

Im in PA for school right now, and I have a VA liscense. Today I got a ticket for running a red light. I was on the line where you're supposed to stop when the light turned red; I could have stopped, but basically thats that and I'm guilty. I'm not complaining or trying to fight it, but I...

UTI had a drag day at Maple Grove here in PA, and I got to run for $10 and I had nothing else to do, so I went and made my first runs with this car. 1st: Launched at 2,000rpm, .351 R/T, 2.306 60ft. ET 14.190 @ 99.82mph 2nd: Launched at 3,000rpm, .563 R/T, 2.328 60ft. ET 14.108 @ 99.01mph...

Ok, here's my problem. Driving home from school today, I gave it a little hell merging onto the highway in 4th and took it steadilly up to around 100mph and let off. I got home, and then headed to the bank. As I'm sitting at the drive thru teller, I started hearing a rattle, right at where...

As the title says I just installed a used bassani catted x pipe on my stang (2000 GT) yesterday, and today I guess I just went through enough drive cycles and now the CEL is on. I went to autozone to get the code scanned and got P1151 for fuel air metering. Im going to get it scanned again...
