    Cleaning Air Filter

    Seems there’s a wealth of differing opinions out there so figured I may as well ask you guys what you’re doing on your cars.. I have a JLT intake on my car, filter is in decent shape but pretty overdue for a cleaning or replacement. While I have the car on stands I’m going to do some of the...

    Dash Info Question

    So I typically turn the info off on my ‘08 so my gauges don’t show anything in that little lower info area but recently when I get in it has defaulted back to showing the mileage rather than staying on the blank setting.. that’s not right is it? Coincidentally I went to start it this morning...

    Speaker Only Upgrades

    Ok so I figured it would be easier to ask the experts here than spend hours Googling to figure it out.. I need to pull my door panels off to get all the crap out of the inside of my doors and clean the drain holes so I’m thinking while I’m in there I may throw in some cheap (but better than...

    Suspension Suggestions and Experiences

    So I’m looking at doing a bit of a refresh on the suspension of my ‘08. I’ve in the past replaced the front lower control arms with some generic replacements, added some Eibach Pro springs and a panhard but everything else is, as far as I know, 70k mile factory parts. I don’t do serious track...

    Some of my art!

    Figured I would share a few pieces of my work, I do a lot of random drawing, painting, designing stickers etc. but lately I’ve been doing more of the painting specifically. The skateboards I picked up for free at a skate shop out in Lubbock, figured recycling them and turning them into artwork...

    School me on charge motion plates..

    So I’ve done a little research but it’s so scattered and contradictory I figured I would get some education here on it. My ‘08 is already running a JLT intake, Hot Rod cams, long tubes and gears so nothing too wild, just a nice streetable weekend cruiser. I have underdrive pullies sitting on...

    WTB: Parts List!

    Tax return should be arriving in the next week or two so I’m getting feelers out there for good deals on some odds and ends I’ve been searching for, not looking to spend a bunch of money, just some minor upgrades that might help clear some stuff out of other people’s garages.. 1) Sway Bars: I...

    Underdrive Pulleys - Cost VS Quality

    So with tax return season coming up I’m eyeballing a few parts for my car. Alongside the stuff it actually needs I’m looking at adding a set of underdrive pulleys as it’s one of the last bolt-ons I don’t have. So the question, are the BBK/Steeda ones that much better than the cheaper SR ones...

    Who’s bought a ‘project’ house before?

    Wifey and I are looking to move with our new baby out of the city a little bit. My job isn’t tied to an office so we have a little liberty which has lead us to essentially 2 options.. we push our budget a little and get something nice or we pay less and hold onto some cash to do upgrades and...

    Cheap 2010+ Door Mirrors

    Tossing around the idea of putting the 2010-2012 door mirrors on my ‘08. I’ve been scrounging Craigslist and I can’t find a complete set anywhere, always seems to be a wrecked car with one side missing. Anybody got a pair of them sitting around they’re happy to offload? Color doesn’t matter, my...

    A few random questions..

    Ok so I’m finally getting to doing some work on the Mustang. I have a couple questions.. 1) Is there a way to tell what style plugs to buy without actually pulling one? Looking online it gives two styles typically listed by build date but some also show a coil boot color. My ‘08 has a build...

    1979 F150.. first project in a long time!

    Been a long time since I’ve had a project vehicle. The wife was on board with me getting something and actually pushed me to get this as it was something I liked but more than I wanted to spend on something for myself. It’s a ‘79 with a 302 in it, old farm truck. Running and insured up to 2019...

    Guidance on a ‘rattle’ I have..

    So I’m out of town this week but right before I left I took the car out for a ride and noticed a noise I need to track down when I get back so I’m looking for where to start.. Car is ‘08 GT/CS, manual trans. When the car is running, sitting at a light or in the driveway, with the clutch out in...

    How many miles you got?

    Just out of curiosity and for something else to talk about.. What year is your Mustang and how many miles you got on it? I have an ‘08 with 67k.

    Another Exhaust ID Thread..

    Probably gonna pick this little lot of stuff up, spares are always nice. That said, anyone able to identify the mufflers? What did the Shelby GT’s get fitted with? https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/pts/d/wichita-falls-07-mustang-gt-parts/6916198875.html

    Can anyone ID this axle back?

    Been trolling Craigslist, found some kinda cheap Ford Racing mufflers but I can’t ID them.. they don’t look like Stingers or GTA/Bs, at least from what I’ve seen... any input? https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/pts/d/allen-ford-mustang-exhaust/6840988445.html

    Tracking down my old car..

    So out of curiosity I always check my local Craigslist and troll through car listing sites to see if I can find out what happened to my old Bullitt. I love the idea of getting it back one day, it was the first car I bought in the US and I had it when I met my wife. In hindsight probably should...

    Passing inspection without cats..

    Yes I know it’s been talked about, yes I’ve searched (multiple forums) and yes I’ve read a lot of threads.. here’s the condensed version of my situation: Had headers, catless X, cams installed. Guy who installed helped me on the inspection at the time since it was in the shop when it was due...

    Panhard Adjustment Question..

    So I know HOW to adjust my panhard, it’s a f-cking hassle but that’s not my problem.. I noticed about a week ago that my axle seems to be off center, poking just a little further out on the passenger side, I had previously adjusted it and had it perfect but obviously something shifted. My...

    Sway Bar Question..

    So I have the factory GT sway bars on my ‘08 C/S right now but in my garage I have a front bar off my old Bullitt. Now I know the Bullitt had better stuff on it but I have never found actual numbers for the difference in rigidity. Anybody know if the Bullitt sway bar is worth my time...

    Dyno Numbers!

    Finally got my first proper set of mods installed on the C/S and got some dyno numbers.. mods as follows: - JLT Intake - FRPP Hot Rods - BBK Long Tubes/Off-road X - 3.73’s - Hurst Shifter Numbers are 341RWHP and 338RWTQ. Nothing groundbreaking but for me and my old 3V it should be a...

    Hot Rod Cams and Tune Question

    So my Hot Rod cams are in, I can’t get it onto a dyno for a few weeks, I’ve been told it’s ok to run the cams on a canned tune but I won’t see the full benefit until they tuned are on a dyno. Is that correct? I don’t wanna damage something while I wait for dyno time. Thanks guys!

    Why are used parts so expensive?

    So I'm trying to track down some odds and ends for my '08 C/S and it's proving tough to find any of them and when I do people want exorbitant amounts of money for them.. I listed below what I'm looking for, maybe you lovely folks can help me find some cheap used stuff? I'm building on a budget...

    Rear suspension squeak.. driving me mental!

    Ok so I lowered the car a while back but it has had an intermittent squeak I can not nail down and I need some pointers.. I've greased the panhard via the grease fittings and soaked spray lube on the control arms, sway bar mounts, basically everything visible that moves. The ONLY time I've...

    Ford factory sway bars..

    So my '08 CS has the factory sway bars on it right now, I also have the front bar from my old '08 Bullitt. Now I've read a bunch but I can't find a definitive answer if this bar is actually an upgrade from stock? If it's a stiffer bar I'll take the time to install it, if it's not a noticeable...
