yup, those be them. I have the acorns style right now. The guy at discount was trying to tell me I would need new lugs.

It does look like I am going to get a NTO 4.10 axle assembly. I dont want to just get the axle and then find the housing is ever so slightly out of whack after doing all the work to put in the new axle. Its a major hit to the wallet, but the insurance should cover it. I have not received the...

Okay, here is the situation. I spun out on snow the other day and hit a curb. I filed a claim and took it into a body shop for a quote. Here is what they told me I needed: Wheels Tires Rotor Pan Hard Bar I figure, no problem, I'll buy all that stuff myself. So I cash settled and...

am buying some Black Deep Dish Bullitts, probably from AM, maybe another place if I can find a good deal. Just wondering if I'll need new lug nuts. I have the stock 18" Pollished Bullitts that came with the car (the same ones that are on the shelby GT)

Driving in the snow caused me to spin and hit the curb, both sides of the road. Good news is, insurance is going to buy me 4 new wheels and tires. But I need them fast as the car is not drivable now, and its a pain. Question: Anyone know where I can get a good deal on black bullitts...

Are these still available? How much tread is left? Where are you located? (so I can figure shipping)

true, as someone named shelby once said, "torque wins races, and horsepower sells cars". Power comes more into play when you are fighting wind resistance, so once your getting up around 80mph and such, or if your concerned about top speed. Torque is what gets you up off the line. Its also...

Car colors are tough. I am surprised when I paint cars in Forza, nothing is really satisfying. Its because everything has been done before. I like the Legend Lime color from 05, it was different. I think Ford is backed into a corner a bit on green, because the best looking green is...

Woah, I had given up on this thread.. dhavi - my legs are extremely comfortable. I put the base of the seat in its most tilted back position. In other words, the front of the seat base is high, and the rear of the seat base is low. That provides a lot of support for my knees. This is with...

That seems to be an issue of debate. There are sources that say the '11 will weight only 10 pounds more than an 2010. And then there is that annoying stat sheet with the "estimated" weight of 3875pounds. Given that the numbers are so round on the stat sheet, I would guess those are incorrect...

I say this on every shifter thread, but it need to be said. Royal Purple Synchromax. If you install a short throw shifter, you need the upgrade your tranny fluid. The shifter just gives you better leverage on the gears, so you can put more muscle into the shift, but in doing so, your putting...

yeah, I just read the autoblog article. I am hoping something is wrong with that stat sheet. It says the weights are just approximate, and many of the approximations say 4000 pounds. I doubt the weight is actually 4grand on the dot. Maybe... hopefully, these weights are VERY loosely quoted...

Hmmm, there is joke in that title somewhere... Anyhow. I am hugely tall, and have to drive my mustang with the seat way back. But I have sort of shortish arms for my height, so I cant reach the wheel that well when I am set-up for good headroom and footroom. I could really use a...

that happened to me once, and it was because the aftermarket air filter had started to fall off. Basically, the engine was getting air in from places other than what was passing by the MAF. You might check your intake hoses if you have not already. I also had a friend with a F150, with...

bril. :nice::nice: That is very helpful, thank you. I probably start with the SCT datalogging, and if it looks like I need to change anything, I'll look into getting the SCT software that allows you to tune the chip. :nice::nice:

Those tuners do have settings that you can change, but not the tune itself. I am not actually planning on doing much, just curious. It would be nice if I could plug in a laptop, and see all the info, not just what SCT allows me to see on the tiny tuner display.

bril. Ford gets it. And I am not saying that because I am a die hard Ford guy. I bought my first Ford one year ago. This sounds like the perfect car, except.... the GT may be more tempting still. Cant wait.

Curious. What would I need to tune my engine myself? Instead of buying an email tune from a tuner, or visiting a dynoshop for a custom tune, Can I buy some software and hook up my laptop to the car and do it myself? If so, what software would I need, and where can I get it?

thanks Five Oh. I was going to say the same exact thing. You can get a centrifugal supercharger for 4k, and that would be what you want. Centris dont make the low end power like a twin screw, but, that makes it easier to hook up, and then they give great power at the top end. So, you'll...

great story man. I felt like I was reading a penthouse letter. "This doesn't usually happen to me, but I saw this really hot chick at the library... etc. etc... before I knew it we were in her hot tub... yada yada yada..." Actually, I would not know b/c I have never read that magazine...
