    Fuel Pressure Safety Switch with Zex Wet Kit

    Anybody running a fuel pressure safety switch with a Zex wet nitrous kit ? Looking for advice/recommendations on a suitable EFI compatable hobbs switch, pressure setting, and wiring. In the absence of higher intelligence (or previous experience) I'm thinking : - Datalog my fuel rail...

    What's the deal with MAC exhausts ?

    I know exactly where you're coming from: I'm just the same when it comes to waiting for stuff. But unfortunatley when you choose to run a Mustang in the UK you have to get used to waiting some for parts. And when they don't come - what are you going to do ? Spend $1500 on a plane ticket to go...

    What's the deal with MAC exhausts ?

    Well just to follow this one up, my Prochamber is finally sat in the garage waiting to be fitted, after 8 months (!) and I don't know how many follow-up emails to THR, varying in tone from irate to just plain pleading/desperate. Paypal were hopeless (as per previous experience) when I...

    What's the deal with MAC exhausts ?

    Hmmm - thanks for the heads-up guys . . . I have used THR before for stuff; and they came through eventually but they were SLOW. I think you confirmed what I was already thinking. Maybe time to cut bait on this one . . .

    What's the deal with MAC exhausts ?

    I ordered an offroad prochamber for my '04 GT SOOOOOO long ago now I almost forget (it must have been July/August last year) - through Texas Hot Rods. It's been on back order ever since. It seems to be a popular item and MAC seem to have a good rep for their product but not for...

    Fasteners

    Hi. Thanks for the feedback. I'm only swapping out the springs and front brakes initially - but I was going to drop the control arms (or axle) to do the spring install without compressors. I'll assume any bolts that the Ford service manual says to discard are TTY then. Is it best to...

    Fasteners

    I'm finally going to be starting a bunch of work to mod my GT (brakes, suspension etc) and I was thinking of stocking up on some nuts and bolts etc to replace any fasteners which are past their prime as I reinstall stuff. What I need to know is on the SN95b (2004) are the fasteners all metric...

    guys very strange think happend!!!!

    I haven't had this happen on my Mustang but FYI the same thing happens on my wife's Focus. I believe it is a common Ford thing indicating low voltage to the cluster. Don't despair just yet though; don't know what the temperature is like over there in NJ at the moment but I have...

    Factory Wheel Finish

    Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't sure. I'll keep away from them with the metal polish in that case. To be honest in the 7 months I've had the car they have only ever had soap and water and always come up bright enough. Guess if it ain't broke don't try and fix it ! :)

    How many quarts of oil does the GT hold

    Exactly - including the filter. I was a little concerned when I got my '04 at 3 months and 7k miles old that the oil was only half way up the stick. But it's never budged and 5.7 Litres (6 quarts) brings it right back to the same spot every time. I have also read some BAD things about topping...

    Damn bug splatters, anyone have a trick to gettinem off

    Clay Magic. I just about got done polishing a zillion tiny paint spatters off every panel of my imported GT; and that stuff was HARD. The few bugs I came across along the way just lifted like they weren't even there. And best of all it's left the clear coat like glass.

    18's or 17's, & wider tire in rear for road race?

    Have you got any pics of your ride posted ? I was thinking about going 17's front 18's rear too. Did you do any other mods to the suspension/brakes at the same time ?

    Factory Wheel Finish

    My '04 GT has polished 'chrome' 17" factory wheels similar to the attached Cobra style wheels. Does anybody know if the factory finish on these wheels is laquered at all ? What is everybody using to clean/polish them ? I was tempted to use Autosol metal polish but thought it might be too harsh ?

    nosediving while braking

    I would think the type of 'nosing over' you describe is more likely to be down to suspension (springs and shocks) than brakes. In fact if you uprate the brakes and pull the car up harder it's likely to nose over just as much, if not more so. I think you would need to stiffen up the front end to...

    Cowl drain ??

    Anybody come across this before? Pulled my car onto the driveway (drive slopes - car nose down) tonight after some fairly enthusiastic use. I can hear something 'ticking' from the front end - just the engine cooling I think walking away - then think again. Take a look under the front end and...

    Best way to wake up my lazy auto tranny

    I have recently acquired my bog standard '04 GT. I love the car and the motor but I am less than impressed with the standard auto transmission. Don't get me wrong if I kick it down HARD the car is quick, but generally I find the throttle response pedestrian, and the transmission quite lazy with...
