    Tri-Ax shifter problem

    I've never had to jam it into any gears (installed it five years ago). I still rank it as one of the best mods I've made.

    Exhaust popping

    This is normal. Switching from the factory H pipe to an X pipe will reduce it. Personally, I like the popping on decel, it reminds me of the old days.

    wheel hop blues

    I have J&M street LCA's and they are definitely good quality and helped quite a bit with wheel hop and with mid turn axle chatter on bumpy roads.

    05-09 Mustang Power Qtr Glass popout kit

    Mines a convertible so I hope you don't mind me throwing in my 2 cents. I think they're a great idea. I avoid using the AC if possible in my hard top cars as I like driving windows down. Any additional air flow would be an improvement and if the sound from the exhaust came into the cabin...

    need a jack and spare...

    I noticed the trend of having to pay for a spare and a jack when shopping for a family car recently. I want the spare so I can rotate my tires without having to use a separate jack stand. The well for the spare tire is still there. While I agree a spare should come standard, couldn't...

    best cure for skip during midcorner bumps

    I replaced the panhard bar and brace for a minor improvement. Then, I added the J&M "street" LCA's which made a MAJOR improvement in the situation you describe. I assume the "poly ball" bushings prevent binding. Incidentally, there was no noticeable increase in NVH. I strongly recommend...

    convertible tops vinyl vs C/S cloth top

    Sorry to here about the top! I prefer the look of the cloth over vinyl so I ordered mine with the cloth top. The option was only a couple hundred bucks (August '06). I knew being a garage kept "weekend toy" it wouldn't be exposed to the elements too much. After 4 1/2 years it still...

    how do you kill the wheel hop on s197?

    I still had wheel hop after putting in an adjustable panhard bar. The car did seem to handle a little better though. J&M "street" LCA's eliminated the wheel hop. As a bonus, they gave the car a more settled rear end in bumpy turns. I put in the matching UCA later. Handling improved a...

    is hurst **** or is it my transmission

    I've heard too many bad things about the Hurst shifter. I went with a Steeda for function but used the Hurst stick and ball for the old school look. I already had a K frame brace so I made my own torque strap. Cost was less than $20.

    07 GT tire size question

    It looks like the CS wheels are 18"x8.5". From what I've seen, this width would be acceptable for 255/45-18s. 1010 Tires has a calculator on their website http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp Enter your car as a California Special and then enter the 255/45-18's as a comparison...

    2010 GT Convertible Vs 2011 GT Convertible

    I bought my '07 convertible for weekend and nice weather driving with my wife and two kids. For any type of driving I would do with my family in the car, this set up (V8 manual 3.55 gears) is plenty. If you planned on going to the track on weekends, the 5.0 and a stiffer body of a coupe would...

    Leather upholstry peeling

    I've seen this mentioned on other forums. It sounds like it's more of a problem in the warmer, southern states. I've seen suggestions to reglue it but I haven't seen anyone say they have a definite fix.
