Hey guys, I just wanted to let anyone in the Joplin, MO area know about the new club. We're up and running with a new website and are planning several things in the next few months including a weekend cruise, a trip to Hallett motor racing circuit, and a caravan to the Mid America Shelby meet in...

Hey guys, does any one know where I can get a new overhead console for my '05. I drilled a couple of holes in the original for nitrous switches and now that I've pulled the nitrous out of the car, I'm getting tired of looking at the holes. I'm talking about the overhead plastic piece that holds...

Hey guys, I was really disappointed that I couldn't make it to Mustang Madness at MAM this year but I was still looking forward to hearing how it went. After that weekend the thread just disappeared. Did ANYONE go? Was it a graveyard with just Khyron and Timeless dukin' it out by themselves? How...

Hey guys. Can one of you guys who have installed an aftermarket tach tell me where you got the signal input? I REALLY don't want to have to get a sewing needle and a meter and go searching through the :mad:FIFTY THOUSAND:mad: wires coming out of that ECM. Surely there's a tach signal in there...

Well, I finally did it. I put the stang into the tire wall at the Shelby meet. I did it on Friday in the rain. My Kumho's were pretty thin on tread and I decided to go out anyway. Bad move! Between the wet track, the nearly bald tires, and my being stupid I guess it was inevitable. The good news...

I hate to be a party pooper but here goes. On Jan. 28th my brother in law was out driving, lost control of his car, crossed the center median and hit a SUV going the other way on the interstate. His car, an '04 GTO, was ripped in half and he was ejected from the car despite the fact that he...

I'm decorating a race car trailer with a sign "The top ten reasons my race car is better than my first wife" I've got seven and now I've hit a blank. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. What I have so far is: 1. I only had to pay for my race car once. 2. The only time my race car...

First of all, I want to explain that I get a little self conscious about making suggestions to people who will be spending hundreds or thousands of dollars and making modifications to a perfectly good automobile based on my opinion. However, the question of how to modify for hot lapping comes up...

Hey guys, some of us have discussed brake cooling ducts in the past and when I came across this I thought you guys might like to take a look. http://www.quantummotorsports.com/05-07MustangKits.htm#Plate%20Kit

Any one else going to the mid america shelby meet? Ijust went to registration and it looks like it's going to be a hell of a show. I'm signed up for Hallet on Friday and Saturday. Let me know if you're going to be there. It would be nice to finally meet up with some fellow StangNet members.

Hey guys, I was looking for a red leather shift boot to replace the cheapo thing Ford put in my car and came across: http://www.redlinegoods.com/shiftboot.htm I had them make a red leather shifter boot for my '05 and a matching armrest cover. Both are red leather with silver contrasting...

Some of you may remember my post about burning up my stock calipers at the road course in April. I replaced the front brakes with a 4 piston, 14" rotor Brembo setup. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v727/jlisle01/AfterBrakes001.jpg The install was easy, very high quality parts and kit...

I took the stang to Hallet this weekend and ran my best time yet (1min 36sec). They had some driving instructors from the Porsche club of America there and I had one go with me to critique my line and driving. He helped me alot, (good) I ran my best time ever, (great) and I had alot of fun...

Does anyone know where I can get good alignment specs for road racing use? Corvette sites post specs for those cars to take out some of the factory built in understeer but I'll be damned if I can find specs for our Mustangs. I specifically would like to know a good camber and toe setting. I'm...

I took the car to Hallet this weekend for some road racing and found out three things. 1) My cars ability exceeds the skill of its driver. 2) 115 degree asphalt + BFG KDW tires + 4000 lb car at limit of lateral traction for 15 min straight = big melted tread blocks that look like they were first...

:bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: AHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Went to put the powerslot rotors and hawk pads on today and guess what? I can't get the rear pistons to compress. Heard that before? Me too. The problem is, the old answers don't work. Yes, I've tried turning them clockwise. Yes, I've tried...

I'm trying to order speed bleeders for the '05 but it's not on any of the application guides I've found. Does anyone know the size of the stock bleeder screws?

OK, so I've decided on a C&L and a predator. Now, while I'm under the hood, I might as well change the TB too. What I don't understand is, how can a TB change the airflow enough to produce a horsepower gain but NOT require a tune? I read a review in one of the mags (MM&FF?) of the BBK TB and...

Eibach Alignment woes! I lowered the car this weekend useing an ebach pro kit and then took it to ford for an alignment check. They're telling me the car is so far out of alignment that they need to install "eccentrics?????" to bring it back to specs. Now, I expected the camber to change and...

Here's a couple pics of my torch red GT with silver Shelby stripes. I did'nt like the cars I've seen with the stripes all the way down so I decided to halt them at the top of the trunk and then black out the space between the taillights. I'm not really sure if I like it or not. What do you guys...
