I bought a used FRPP intake and the "Ford Racing" colors are dull. I would like to repaint them. Does anyone know what the correct color red and white is, or even a reasonable facsimile that I could buy in those touch up bottles in an auto parts store?

Update, I finally installed the MGW shifter. Recall I previously had a Hurst Shifter in my car. My problem with the Hurst was that while shifting from 2-3rd gear at high RPM I was locked out of getting into 3rd gear. Likewise it sometimes locked me out of 3rd to 4th. Recall that I had...

Now that I've pretty much read every article I could on this topic, it would seem the Blowfish Bracket and or the CHE K Member brace are what solves this. There is simply too much collaborating testimony/information to back it up. I’ve yet to install the MGW, but when I do, I promise to get...

Macman45 summed it up perfectly... I get annoyed at the boy racer "mods" because I end up getting unfairly grouped in with that crowd... You know the crowd, the muffler delete, Eleanor grilles, black wheels, blackened emblems, etc...

Thanks guys!!! As always, I really appreciate the feedback. I bought a used MGW for $200 and plan on installing it in the next couple of weeks. One final question, does the Hurst Shifter mount to the body or the transmission? I bought the car used with the Hurst already in it, so I don't know.

I bought this used with 67,000 miles on it. The rest of the car is in very good shape, so i had always assumed the previous owner took care of it, and was a decent driver.... That said? Sometimes the car grinds going really slow speeds 2-3 sfift. Rpms at 2-2500

Wait, Beefier? I was hoping to hear it attached to the transmission in a different way or in a way that helped to deflect the torque so that it would not bind. Yeah, I have probably scoured the internet too much, because I’ve seen theories (outside of going MGW) that go from replacing the...

I have a Hurst shifter in my 2008 GT. It is hard and sometimes impossible to make the shift between 2-3 on hard acceleration. (At anything above 5,000 PRM) I’ve read a mountain of information that suggests going to the MGW shifter is the way to solve it. I've also read posts to suggest a...

I called JDM and they were a shocking $5,100??!! The price included CAM, Timing Chain, New Rockers, Phasers, and the removal install, and tune. According to the service rep "they won't put in a cam in a car with that many miles (Mine has 67,000) without putting in new rockers, timing chain...

I'm looking to have someone install Hot Rod cams in my 2008 GT and then afterwards I would need them to tune it. Does anyone have a shop in the Philadephia area that you could reccomend to do this work? Any idea what I can expect to pay for this? Thanks

Thanks everyone, I'm new to the car, and have heard many things regarding the "marriage" of the tuner to the car. However, I can pretty much say I will never retrun the car to "stock" so whatever tune is on the car now is what I would return the car too if I sold the car. Now the big...

I bought a 2008 Mustang GT Convertible in November 2018 from a used car dealer.The car has 67,000 miles on it and is very clean. The car has Steeda cold air kit and a SLP cat back exhaust system. The car did not coem with any documentation as to wether it has a tune. I tried reaching out to the...
