    Hard wiring radar detector questions

    The ceiling light console just pulls down. I've got my Sirius up there, wired in to an existing power circuit wire, grounded to the roof steel with a self tapping screw and eyelet. It shuts off automatically with the lights after 10 minutes or so, turns on automatically when I start up. It's...

    Motorcraft Spark Plugs GONE

    After hearing the horror stories, I had a dealer change mine to the Champions at 75k. I kept all the originals and none broke and none have carbon on them either, just a little discoloration. I have a brenspeed tune and a WMS air filter setup along with a TB spacer. Along with lots of...

    anyone having problem with power window

    Yeah, sometimes, they don't "auto up"... I'm sure the real failure will occur after the warranty runs out. Mike E 05 GT

    Shaker 100 satellite ready?

    It won't work on the 05. I have my Sirius mounted on the overhead console, and use the FM transmitter. I actually like it better like that than some of the indash units because it rewinds, etc. I also can switch to the FM or AM and back pretty easily. Lots of pics and discussion on the...

    American Muscle Bullit Wheel Finish and Seal Failures

    Not certain that this is really a tech item... Just thought I should warn everyone: I've had the AmericanMuscle.com [formerly MustangTuning.com] antharcite bullets 18x10 on my car just under a year [rear] and the clear coat is already coming off the deep dish area. Their warranty on the...

    Steeda Spacer Problem

    Yeah, you'll hear things both ways about spacers: I have a Jet on mine and I had to cut my WMS ram air plate to clear the MAF plug because of it. Having it on the car, I also don't think the spacer does much of anything... Mike E

    brake fluid all over.....

    Someone on one of the forums came up with another solution, which was buying a $.79 round neoprene gasket at a hardware store, and placing over the existing rubber seal [in the cap]. I did that and it seemed to work, though lowering the level of fluid a little seems like a good idea too. I...

    Noise after installation of aluminum DS

    Is the car lowered? If so, did you check the pinion angle or adjust it with an adjustable upper control arm [or adjustable lowers]? I am wondering if the joints might be binding a bit causing the noise. I haven't put my aluminum DS in yet, because I am deciding on what [if anything] I want...

    Detailed writup on how to drop your 05 stang cutting the stock springs

    No matter whether you like the cutting of the springs or not, I think it is a great write up. There are a lot of things people do to their cars that others hate, and I think this write up shows something that can be done on a budget. Each of us decides what we want and what we are willing to...

    CHP Discrimination against mustangs!

    Upland Cal PD got me two days after I got the car... Upland PD pulled me over the second day I had the GT [3-28-05]. Not for speeding though, as I was sitting next to him at a light: I wasn't wearing my seatbelt and the officer helpfully pulled me over for a "safety equipement check". Since...

    I don't know whether to laugh or cry

    Salesman came on to me to trade my GT in... I took a friend to a Ford dealer to return a rental vehicle, and the second I got out of my car a salesman hurried over and said "Sir, are you ready to trade your GT in?" I said, "Are you crazy? I just got it!" and walked away. I couldn't believe...
