    Locating: Build/Tune shop in Socal

    I'm considering putting in the Hot Rod or Thumpr cams in the stang for a little more aggression at the Pypes. I'm comfortable with doing the install, but I don't want to track too many miles on the car without a shop putting her on a dyno and giving her a tune. It's VERY likely I'll go with NSR...

    Attempting SoCal enthusiasts

    Sounds great. I've got a guy here at Mirmar who's got an 01 bullitt, and another Shelby GT350 that I've spoken with that are interested, I just have to get them online. Once we get enough people checking in now and then, we can really get the ball rolling.

    Attempting SoCal enthusiasts

    Hey, everyone. I'm seeing what I can do about organizing a local Mustang "group." I hate to use the term "club" or organization, because really, I don't plan to have fees or requirements to get involved. Along with a few friends, we started an "EF Squad" in Atlanta for 88-91 CRx, Hatchback, and...

    what oil are you running?

    I uh...got out to my car and was told there was a mountain cruise going on and I got distracted and went up... ...while up there, I realized I need an alignment...pretty badly. And I may put off the charger and get Roush Stage 3 suspension, first... I'll check the manual tomorrow.

    what oil are you running?

    Hmm...I'd swear it said "requires." But I also read it back in like september or august. F*** it, I'm not doing anything. I'm gonna run grab the manual real quick. Just to clear up any curiosity anyone may have. Be back soon. Was gonna install the driveshaft today, but I'm REALLY feeling like...

    what oil are you running?

    According to the owner's manual, Ford ONLY will cover if you use the recommended oil (0w for V6, 5w for V8) and it must be Motorcraft oil. Fuel and oil additives are NOT recommended and failure of an engine part due to this is NOT under warranty. That being said...I don't see how ford could...

    How much for a stock drive shaft?

    Same here. I'm interested in picking up your driveshaft whether you want mine or not, but I've got an 06 GT 5spd. If they're direct swaps, I'll trade you +cash on my end.

    I went with Coast's 4" 500lb/tq aluminum. I don't EXPECT I'll be hitting that up... Then again, I could always get the roush solid steel one. Not much weight loss, but it holds something like 3,000lbs/tq or something ridiculous and unneccesary like that. LoL

    I'll definitely have write-ups and such. It'll be the first time I'll really get to have my hands covered in something other than soap and wax for my baby. Ordered my driveshaft this morning. 535$ shipped. It'll be going in this approaching weekend or the one following.

    Passenger footwell water leak?

    I received a letter from Ford in...say November or something like that. I think it was only a certain vin pattern or something, but they sent me a letter about it in the mail. I haven't gotten information from a dealership about what exactly it is, but I've not done anything about it...LoL...

    Good point (lifting gravity) that I had honestly thrown out of mind. With all this said, to achieve my goals of an all-around car, I think the best I can do is go ahead and get the driveshaft (ordered it this morning. 535$ shipped, Coast one-piece aluminum :nice: ) Long Tubes (probably the...

    GEARING OPTIONS

    Well, seeing as the drag would be more for fun and rivalry between friendly enthusiasts, I like the idea of the 3.73's (isn't it 73? Non 79?). However, I read where someone was saying running the 4.10's with a taller tire will put me at roughly a 3.90 or something... I just don't wanna get one...

    GEARING OPTIONS

    I'm debating on the 3.73's vs. 4.10's w/ thicker tires... Looking to go saleen/roushcharger (goal of around 400, maybe up to 460 when I'm finally finished), long tubes, coast driveshaft, not sure of cams, yet, and Roush 3 Suspension. I've currently got 17's on it, and debated a thicker tire...

    2006 GT questions

    Yeah. Speeding tickets. :shrug: WAY too common. My girl drove my 06 5spd GT from Ga to Cali without a problem. Gas mileage (at lets say average 2.40$ a gallon, and avg hwy of 80-90mph, 2300miles, she spent around 200-250$ or so to drive, loaded down). Car was reliable, had the little defect...

    Tell him he should sign and date his artwork, as well. He'll appreciate it in the long run when he can look back at how far he's come.

    I was considering the 4.10's, but 3mpg? That's gonna suck when I decide to return home from Ga...3mpg adds up on a 2200mile drive... I'm standing by for more samples and reviews...
