    Going from dragstrip/street to street/corners

    My 2005 GT 5 speed was modified in 2006 for drag racing, and I raced it hard until about 2011, then wound down a bit and finally garaged it. Over time, many drag only parts (struts/shocks/antirollbars,etc) were replaced with street components to make it as comfortable and reliable as I can for...

    WTB: passenger seat sensor (OCS, the "bladder") for 05-10

    I need to get a passenger seat sensor, the bladder with wiring harness. The one I picked up from an old seat seems defective. This will go in a Corbeau passenger seat, so I don't need the whole seat, just the bladder or Occupant Classification Sensor in Ford speak... See 501-20B-1 under...

    passenger seat OCS sensor (bladder) defective?

    My 2005 GT has a set of OEM 2006 seats in it that work fine. I sold the originals in 2006 to race the car, but I've been finding the parts and putting a full interior back in for street driving. All works now but... A set of stock seats pulled from a 2006 work fine in my 2005 Mustang GT...

    2005 airbag light solved

    This seemed like tech but it's so gray I just put it in chit chat. Way back in 2006, I "gutted" the 2005 for drag racing. My OEM seats had airbags but I bought terminators for the airbag plugs, moved the passenger bladder, and installed Corbeau seats. No airbag lights. A few years ago...

    Best approach to shipping medium to large auto parts 05 and up

    I live in a semi rural area of Carroll County MD (zip 21776). Based on the ridiculous prices for shipping at one of those UPS chains in shopping centers, I've pretty much given up on shipping and focused on local sales, but that isn't going anywhere. I have mufflers, x pipes, suspension parts...

    Trouble with airbag code aftermarket seat

    2005 Mustang GT. Original car came with side airbags in seats. I'm very familiar with the thread on proper way to set up aftermarket seats and clear airbag codes when the OEM seat had the side airbags. Did the searches here and elsewhere. Long story short, started racing the car in 2006...

    Corbeau seat brackets - options for raising seat height?

    I did a little searching and found references to some folks (like me) that find the ride height in aftermarket seats like Corbeau a bit wanting and need a bit more height than the Corbeau seat bracket provides. I used to be 5' 10" but age has me down to just under 5' 9"! References to washers...

    2005 Seat trim codes--Sport type/non Sport Type

    I sold my OEM "leatherette" seats WITH side airbags out of my 2005 Mustang GT in 2006 and replaced with Corbeaus for drag racing. Now that I'm putting the car back into street trim I'm searching junk yards online for an electric driver and manual passenger with airbags in gray or black. There...

    Wiring harness to convert manual seat to power?

    I have a 2005 GT that originally came with a power drivers seat and manual passenger seat (these are airbag seats). After putting in Corbeaus for drag strip use, I wasn't thinking and sold the OEM seats. Now the car is pulled from track duty and I found two inexpensive leather seats from an '09...

    Tunes, p0021, and diagnoses approach

    Have a 2005 Mustang GT: cold air intake, intake manifold, comp 127500 cams and phase limiters, full exhaust with o/r h-pipe. Raced the car since 2006, been slowly putting suspension back to street. I've used custom tunes from 2 private tuners over the years, the first one was a significant...

    Ever connected your sct tuner and blew a fuse?

    2005 Mustang GT. Many mods. Across many Mustangs and many tuners, I've never had this happen. I hooked up my xcal to reload a tune to compensate for tire size, and before I could do anything the gauge cluster and obdII port went dead. Shit. Car cranked upfine though. Got the manual out...

    Instructions for Powerhouse 4" driveshaft

    I have the driveshaft for sale, and the guy buying wants to know if there are instructions somewhere (adapter plate, torque specs, etc). I certainly don't have them anymore, and the company appears to have gone out of business. Any ideas? Didn't see anything specific on this in the forum, nor...

    Need 2005 passenger seat, airbags, manual

    After starting to put my 2005 back to street trim, I realized my original "leatherette" seats were sold long ago. The drivers seat was electric, the passenger manual, both leather in gray. They were the airbag variety. I found a pair of electric black leather seats out of a 2009 GT, which...

    Ground in bugs

    Hey guys I need some help. I keep my two Mustangs really clean and the paint in great shape, even with one an all weather driver and the other a weekend warrior. The Focus ST (my better half's daily driver) though has taken some hits through neglect of the finish. The bugs are ground in on...

    Specs for two nuts on TR3650 shifter linkage rod

    The shifter linkage arm connects the bottom of the manual shifter arm to the transmission. Both nuts appear to be the same. Car I bought appears to have the two nuts stripped and half secured. Lots of slop. Local ford dealer no help (buy new replacement shifter), can't find these two nuts at...

    Best price approach for 2005 manual to automatic swap

    Was toying with the idea of making one of the Mustangs (2005/2007) an automatic. Lots of threads here and elsewhere with parts lists for manual to 5r55, although I don't get sense of real cost (~I see estimates in the $5-6k range, although that's not clear if that's all new parts, used parts...

    electric harness for 2009 power seats in 2005 GT

    I just pulled my racing seats out of my 2005 Mustang GT, and installed 2009 power seats on both sides. The driver seat electric harness worked just fine (power and side airbag). The 2009 power passenger seat, however, has a different (wider and flatter) power plug, although the side air bag...

    WTB 2005 front passenger side seatbelt connector

    When my drag race seats were installed, the passenger side seatbelt connector (female side next to trans tunnel) was inadvertently set aside when the harness was set up. No one ever sat there so the chimes never came on and never noticed (I have the driver side factory seatbelt connected behind...

    2005 shaker 1k crapped, now what?

    I am putting my 2005 back to street duty, as I'm done drag racing it. Suspension is back to corner carving, but the radio doesn't seem to be getting power. It's a Shaker 1000. The trunk amps and sub are long gone, sold, but the speakers are all in place still. I had some work done on the...

    Shaker 1000 to drag car and back?

    My 2005 started life as a street car for about a year, then I started racing it and removing lots of stuff to reduce weight. I have the original Shaker 1000 head unit and the car speakers, but took out the subwoofer and amps and sold them long ago. I'm now putting the drag car back to a...

    Tire shine that's not so "shiny"?

    I can't seem to find anything that doesn't leave a shiny oily gloss AND lasts. Currently, Meguires Endurance products have the longevity I like, but it's just too shiny. I just want a uniform solid black semi gloss or even a matte. Any thoughts...?

    3V All motor rankings: still gunning for it

    Back in 2011, I went looking for Paul's ranking list, wanted to print it out and frame my 8th ranking in the class, when I noticed I'm actually 3rd in line for all motor with stock heads. Art (Rench) is sitting pretty with a 11.5 to my 11.8, and while a reach with the current car, it wasn't that...
