    Are you thinking of a new shifter?

    I ordered mine on 12/21 (along with some subframe connectors) and I got it on the 27th. They forgot the handle though, so I called them on Tuesday and they said they would put it in the mail that day.l I got the handle today (Thursday).

    Installing bullet pedals

    After struggling for an hour to slip the damn brake and clutch pedal on, I ended up doing something similar to my gas pedal. Works fine.

    Is this the OEM shifter assembly?

    Looks stock to me. Have you ever tried to speed shift to third? If you have then you know why most of us replace the stock shifter asap.

    Are you thinking of a new shifter?

    I just bought one for my wife's 2000 V6. I have a Tri-Ax on my GT, and from what I've seen of the UPR Bluethunder, they are almost identical except for the handle. Of course I haven't installed it yet, so that will be the true test. And, yes, they are on sale for $99 and that includes the...

    gaskets for mid pipe install

    There is one metal gasket on the passenger side (if I remember correctly) manifold where it connects to the mid pipe. I put my X pipe on when my car only had about 10k, but I went ahead and replaced the gasket anyway. The original probably would have been fine, but they are only about $7 from...

    shocks/struts

    Edit: I'd go with the Mach set up and the "F" lowering springs. The Mach kit comes with sway bars, shocks/struts for around $299 (Bullitt kit has springs too and is $399). Since you want to lower it so much, you won't need the Bullitt springs. The Ford "F" lowering springs are about $210...

    shocks/struts

    You could go with the Bullitt set up and throw in some Ford "F" lowering springs. That will get you close to 2". BTW, you know if you drop that much you will have to replace your caster/camber plates as well?

    Tire Spin question

    I agree w/ Silver. Try that and see if the other spins. Let us know because I'm curious as to what's up with both the lack of TC and one wheel spinning.

    DID I MESS UP??

    YOu could have wired it wrong or moisture could have gotten in there. It's extremely important that you insulate the mil-elims from water. I bought some of that plastic heat-shrink stuff to put around mine once I wired them in. Or, you could have gotten a bad mil eliminator. It seems like...

    How 'bout that traction control?

    IF you read in the manual it says that TC should be turned off when you are stuck. Basically, the name is misleading. TC isn't meant to give you more traction, per se, but to save your ass should you hit a slick spot while cruising down the freeway at 70 mph. Most people in that situation...

    Hello! Yeah, not many Kentuckians on SN. Did you get much snow?

    Bullitt and GT Differences

    Bullitt also has a different suspension set up--different rate springs, rear and front sway bars and specially tuned shocks/struts. Sits about 3/4 of an inch lower than a GT.

    UPR Max-Cross sub-frame connectors

    I am thinking of buying these sub-frame connectors from UPR and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this product. I want to make sure it's a quality product, but I also want to know if anyone can tell me if they come with a good set of instructions for installation. Thanks.

    Any tips on installing O/R x-pipe? Help.

    Regardless of what others have said, count on at least 2 hours if this is your first time installing an "X" unless you are a trained mechanic (I'm not). Once you've done your first, it's much easier the second time (for whatever that's worth).

    Any tips on installing O/R x-pipe? Help.

    I did mine the same way you plan to, on jackstands. 1. Make sure you have a long extension (at least 10" and a couple of swivels. 2. Go to Ford and buy a replacement gasket for the passenger side. You might as well put a new one on while you're under there. 3. A can of PB Blaster will...

    UPR Customer Service Blows.....

    I've ordered from them a couple of times and always had a good experience. The only thing I have noticed is that if you have a question about a part, it's best to call them because they're not great on email feedback. Other than that, no problems. :shrug:

    Mach 460 + Brakes = Turning off?

    Forgive me if this sounds obvious, but the Mach 460 has a setting for speed sensitive sound. IE, if it is set at it's highest setting, the volume will decrease dramatically with braking. Are you sure you don't have this feature turned on?
