    rear suspension metal clunk/ting sound

    Bleh after all my efforts to stop rattles and unormal sounds in my car another has come up. This one sounds like its coming from the right rear suspension area. I went under my car and shook and hit just about everything I could and compressed and depressed the suspension rapidly by pushing the...

    ding and scratch

    Well my lucky streak of absolutly no dings or scratches has ended today with this stupid kid at my school parking next to me and opening his door into my passenger door. Nice little ding and paint scratched off to the metal the size of a pea, but enough to piss me off. Kid agreed it was his...

How come the production date maters whether I can get...

    Brake vibrations

    O i forgot to ask. Is this problem most likely caused by my front brakes only? or could the rear brake rotors be warped as well. I don't want to replace more than I have to and if I go to ford they will probably tell me I need all new brakes front and rear because they just want to make money...

    Brake vibrations

    thanks, I figured it was going to be the rotors. People have been saying its the abs but abs shouldnt be doing that, it should only take effect wen the wheels are about to lock up. I should have taken the car into ford much earlier because the car has had this problem since 11k miles maybe...

    2005+ gt wheels/tires speedo reading

    using this calculator http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html I put in the stock v6 tire size 215/65/16 and the tire size of stock gt tires im getting 235/55/17 and it says the reading will be .6% too slow not 6% sorry. This seems so small but it also means for every 50,000 miles I go the...

    2005+ gt wheels/tires speedo reading

    Thanks, my friend said it really doesnt make a big difference, idk if the 6% is accurate. Anyone do this mod to their v6 and recalibrate their speedo? Is it necessary, and would I be better off bringing the car to ford to have the recailibrate it or to just buy a tunner/flash chip because I'm...

    I have a 2005 mustang v6 and I just ordered the 2005+ mustang gt takeoff wheels and tires (the stock 17" bullit wheels and the pirelli 235/55/17 tires).

    Magnaflow cat-back exhaust hangers broke

    I love the sound of the magnaflow system, and it seems to yeild a decent power gain as well. I haven't seen a full catback system from flowmaster or borla for the 2005 v6. Anyone know of another cat-back kit for the 05-07 v6 stang that sounds nice and can be installed without cutting/welding...

    Exhuast and intake performance gains

    I have a 2005 black v6 manual coupe. I recently just installed a K&N cai system and the magnaflow dual catback exhuast system (y pipe, magnapack mufflers). What kind of hp and torque gains can I expect? The car is all stock except those two mods, and it has the stock tune still and I don't plan...

    Braking Vibrations

    I have a 2005 v6 manual 4.0l stang. Sometimes I notice when braking at fast speeds like 40mph+ that there is a mid-high pitch vibration throught the car, and i can feel it on my foot on the brake. It doesnt always do this, and I don't think my brakes are shot cuz i often use the gears to slow...
