    pics of lowered stangs with 17x8's

    Mine before she got wrecked. Stock 17x8's on OEM Chrome Bullits & HR SS's. Sorry about the night time pics.

    Vert wrecked

    I think I was too mad to hurt at the time. Anyway, it's 75% and it's still well under that. The point is not that the car "will never be the same" because if I wanted a squeak/rattle free car I would not have bought a Ford. If a car (in this case daily driver) gets you from point A to B...

    Vert wrecked

    Try 10K. The entire rear clip is being replaced. The diff & axels are OK, frame OK and the only thing wrong with the suspension is a broken shock. It looks a lot worse than it is but only because it's a vert. If it was a coupe the roof would have buckled too & it would have been over.

    Vert wrecked

    This actually happened 11/7 but the insurance company has been dragging it's heels on getting things going. Oh, well - it's courtesy of Sherwin Williams and the dumbass 18 wheeler driver. He clipped my left rear quarter panel and I spun out and hit the center concrete wall. I have no idea...

    Won't go into 1st, 3rd and pops out of 5th

    Well, it was the evil shift stops on the shifter. The forward lock nut had loosened and the shift stop was adjusting itself in and out - explaining the "fixed itself" a few days ago. I removed the shift stops on the Hurst and all is OK now. Whew!! What a relief! Thanks for all the...

    Won't go into 1st, 3rd and pops out of 5th

    I know my Hurst has shift stops but I didn't do any adjustments when I installed it because it shifted perfect until now. I'll check it out to be sure. BTW, I just changed the trans fluid with Royal Purple 1 month before I installed the shifter so it should be fine.

    Won't go into 1st, 3rd and pops out of 5th

    I replaced the stocker about 8 months ago with a Hurst. No problems at all until about 2 weeks ago.

    Won't go into 1st, 3rd and pops out of 5th

    OK Stangers - my problem is as described above. I have to really push the shifter hard in 1st and 3rd usually grinds no matter how hard I push the shifter. When I'm in 5th gear it will just pop out randomly. When I shift into 2nd & 4th it feels like a firm shift (goes in all the way) but 1, 3...

    Best Shifter

    I have the Hurst in my 2003 and I absolutely love it. It was so dramatically better that the stocker I was wondering why it wasn't the first thing did to the car. If you had a Hurst before and liked it on your other Mustang you won't be disappointed with the newer one.

    Install now or wait?

    If this doesn't belong in tech, my apologies. I have had my H&R SS's for 2 weeks now and I'm still waiting on my CC plates. I don't think I can wait until NEXT Saturday to install my springs. Would I be doing a disservice to myself installing the springs now and the CC plates when they come...

    Zaino'd the Shaker GT... new pics inside (death to 56K)

    Nice looking car. That's pretty much what I want to do to my vert. Where did you get your Mach1 hood and how much if you don't mind me asking?

    SCT SF tuner suggestions

    I got mine from RPMoutlet.com for $379. May not be the best price out there but I've bought a lot of my mods from them. Torinalth - thanks again for your suggestions. I re-flashed the 93 octane tune, backed off the timing a little bit (-4 degrees 0-2000, -1 degree 2000-4000 & -1 degree...

    GREAT reply and great suggestions. Thank you for being so thorough. I have not adjusted the A/F as I was afraid to mess with something I knew nothing about. I will try all your suggestions and make myself more patient. I will update if anyone cares...

    SCT SF tuner suggestions

    OK - I'm about at my wits end here. I gave up on the 93 tune, dropped it to the 91 tune while still using 93 octane gas in the car, I've backed off the spark -6 degrees in the 0-2000 band (where I'm getting horrible detonation, especially in 5th gear), -2 degrees 2000-4000 and -1 degree...

    Pull timing in the upper band it is then. Thanks Stangers. BTW, I have been making it a point to not put that ethanol garbage in my car. The one time I did I immediately noticed a power loss and I've been putting premium in it since (I used to have detonation at lower RPM's before I flashed...

    OK, I just got my tuner ans flashed the PCM and test drove it. I flashed it with the 93 octane tune and didn't adjust any other parameters where spark/fuel were concerned. When I drove it i got a lot of pinging at WOT. What should I adjust to get rid of the detonation? It only seems to...
