    My GT500 is rusting and Ford doesn't care

    A lot of Mustangs over here in the UK have this problem which is due to iron contamination and a reaction between that and the aluminium on the hood. We don't get a warranty so have to suck it up. My 2005 is a dry use car so hasn't been affected...yet.

    9 Exterior Mods, 2 are BoltOns, Can you See Them?

    Sequential indicators? Decat? Are you sure you want to drive that car without a bottom grille? some of those rocks are pretty vicious on an intercooler. Hey wait, is it a Klingon cloaking device?

    What shocks to go with Roush springs?

    I have Tokico D-Spec adjustables set a turn off hardest matched with the blue Roush springs and stock sway bars. This gives a controlled but pliant ride. I have't actually adjusted the shocks since I first put them on in 2006 and think the set-up is great. Of course adjustables may not be...

    Clunking suspension sound dealer won't fix...

    Check all the sway bar drop-links are correctly torqued as they do come loose and cause a clunk.

    Lightweight wheels

    I have 5 spoke Weld Evos on mine which are very light. The thing is that once the tires are mounted (275/30 x 20), they still add about 10lbs a corner. Tires are heavy! So you may want to go with 18's to keep weight down and the tires should weigh less too.

    Hood Scoop Fixing

    It is blanked out. I'll give it a go and let you know when I get round to doing it. I'd rather it flew off than drill the hood. :nice:

    Hood Scoop Fixing

    No, I did use the two studs you're supposed to but it was obvious that once it was stuck on, there was no way it was ever coming off as I did try to lift it to reposition it a millimetre - even after application, it lifted the rear of the car up on the springs and showed no sign of relinquishing...

    Hood Scoop Fixing

    I've just bought a very nice painted hood scoop from The Spoiler Store on ebay and just like the GT500 spoiler, it's top notch. However, they supply two screws to screw through the hood which i have no intention of doing. Certain scoops like the 3D carbon only use 3M tape. This scoop has tape...

    corsa extreme?????

    I originally had Corsa but they weigh a ton and in my supercharged application, the noise was too quiet at idle and low speeds and at high speed, I was going too fast to hear it so I swopped them out for some stainless fabricated mufflers from a local exhaust fabricator - the thing is that the...

    The Chrome Is Pealing From My Wheel!!!

    Nah, this is peeling... Mine had to go back to the supplier and they were replaced under warranty. Obviously a duff design as the replacements had been modified. Also cost me about £450 in shipping. The relacements seem more durable even if the 5 year warranty had been reduced to 3.

    I'm a Daddy!

    Congratulations to you. I was half expecting a full photo exposition and "how-to" of the birth! My fifth, second by my current wife, is due in May and the baby is already at 97th centile - last one was 9lb 14. Hope everyone is doing well.

    Let's rate the new Mustang

    I really dislike it. I was converted to Mustangs from a 4th gen Z28, mainly due to the cessation of Camaro production but nevertheless, the 2005 was an instant 10 out of 10 for me and a no-brainer to replace the Camaro and Corvette C5 Z06. I have no plans to sell my less than 10000 mile 2005...

    Raptor dual mode shift light

    This is my install: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2177534/9 I'd check the earth wire as mine wouldn't work with the long earth bolted to the back of the fuse box. Halving it's length and earthing it to the strut had it working though.

    Why black-out the rear of a S197?

    Much as I like the S197, when I bought mine in 2005, the back end looked mighty plain: I used SHR parts and chrome bezels to give it a Mach 1 look along with a GT500 spoiler: No question in my mind which looks better. I started with a magnetic panel but after a week I gave it away...

    LSD in 2005s - simple question, no guessing.

    It's hard to find any reference to an LSD in any of Ford's many tracts on the GT. Simple question. Does the 2005 GT have an LSD as standard. Is there a code on the car that confirms it. Thanks.
