    Suspension... Am I on the Right track here?

    I'd let a shop do the subframe connectors, unless you've got access to a drive on lift.

    lost my key and remote

    I realize I'm a little late to the party here, but you don't have to go to the dealer to get a key made and programmed. Your local locksmith should be able to cut and program the key and remote for you.

    Need new Rotors, going to upgrade what should I get?

    Be careful buying the drilled rotors. Cracks tend to start at the holes and get worse. Outside of the bling factor, not really worth it in my opinion. I'd go with either the Brembo or a good slotted rotor. Just my opinion, I could be wrong. Buddy

    Front end upgrade!!!

    How many miles are on the car? You might want to think about replacing the bushings while you're at it. They're bound to be shot after 10 years.

    Did I miss something?

    Streethorse, I see what you're saying and understand, will give that a try. Here's where I am now: Tried BurningRubber's suggestion and reverted back to stock, no detonation. Reinstalled the 93 tune+2% richer, got detonation and it seemed to have moved down the powerband under regular...

    I can drive in the rain now :)

    Not only rain, but even the odd snow and ice storm in here in Dallas. Beats the hell out of walking in that stuff, not to mention mass transit. Just gotta watch out for the idiots in their SUV's or 4x4's that think they're invincible. A little water never hurt nothing. Forgot to mention, my...

    Did I miss something?

    Rather than answer individually, I'll try to answer in one post: Streethorse: Hopefully it won't come to that, but I'll keep it in mind. BurningRubber: This is my first tank of 93 in quite a while. I filled up prior to installing the tune, the tank wasn't completely empty (was 87). It...

    What Reputable Vendors for mustang parts?

    Don't know how they are mail order, but I've dealt with Dallas Mustang the few times I've needed things and they've been great.

    Did I miss something?

    I just bought a SCT SF3 tuner and installed the 93 octane tune. Just wondering how long this is supposed to take. It seems like from initial plug in to plug out was about 10 minutes. Didn't mess with any parameters, just followed the steps. Car seems to have better throttle response and the...

    Need help with intermittent misfire.

    Question, have you just changed the plugs? The reason why I ask is that I had the same thing happen after the last time I changed plugs (looking at my records, it's time I got some new ones). You said you've replaced the coil and the injector, but is it possible you've got a bad plug? I would...

    Crankshaft Question

    I've got a 03 GT with 112,000 miles on the clock. Gonna be replacing the clutch soon and want to go with a lighter flywheel. My question is do I have a six or eight bolt crankshaft? Is there a way to tell without having the trans out of the car? From what I've read, I should have the 3650...

    Want to Buy 01-04 GT, What Problems Should I be Aware of?

    Literally went over 100k for me today. Bought my 03 GT in May 04 with 6300 and turned 106300 on the way to work. Have had no major probs. Replaced pads and rotors around 80-85k. Only annoyance was the #3 coil would throw a code for a little while then would go away on its own. Oh yeah, the...

    What happens if the PATS key is lost?

    There is no need to go to a dealer. Any locksmith can make you a duplicate of your key. Yes the PATS key has a chip in it and as long as the locksmith has the machine to program it you're good to go. A locksmith can also make you a key from a bare blank if you lose yours. The locksmith...

    Dyno Results

    What was the weather like? Was it hot and/or humid? If it was, that would affect engine output. I didn't see it on your scan, but there usually is a correction factor that allows for temp & humidity. Look for something like SAE 1.03 (that's what mine was, air temp was 93 deg w/18%...

    cobra instrument cluster into a gt?

    If memory serves a computer reflash is necessary. SHM had some for sale in their 2004 catalog, and if I remember correctly the ad said a reflash of the computer had to be done to get it to read correctly.

    What other suspension options should i look at?

    How much of a drop did you get when you changed out the springs? Is it possible that the amount of drop, along with how the exhaust hangs under the car could be causing this, rather than chassis flex? Consider this, you tied everything together on the x-axis (front to back) with the subs, but...

    New Dyno #'s

    Don't forget that you normally lose about 15% due to parasitic drag, so coming in just under a buck is within spec.
