    Looking to get a 06 GT manual with low miles. What should I be on the look out for?

    The fewer mods the better. Especially if there is a mish-mash of things. A tuned package is one thing, but a bunch of go-fast junk thrown at it may also indicate how it has been treated. Plus, you never really know how well the mods were done. If a manual trans, has the clutch/throw out...

    Don't know why it's upside down

    That can happen if you took a pic of the pic with a phone. There should be an editing button on your phone when you open the pic on your phone. There will be a button that has a curved arrow indicating 'rotate'.

    That's okay. No hurry. Mine is showing signs of deterioration where my hands sit.

    Question about a parts car

    6 gauge MyColor dash cluster and center dash buttons. Make sure it works first. Buttoned in good condition typically bring $30 or more on Ebay. Cluster might get $100...depending on the mileage, but it's hit or miss. Not low or high, but how close to the buyers existing mileage.

    Rear Springs 1" Lower

    Here's a couple more pics from front and rear. I do have a front spoiler/lip that just barely clears most parking stops, but I do have to watch it. It also does NOT like my plastic ramps. The P springs had less drop than the K springs, I think. I didn't want too much.

    Heat warping/repair?

    Is that trim piece an actual Shelby part? Heat expansion is causing it to buckle upwards as it gets hot. Nowhere to go but up between fixed points. Sort of related...I noticed in the first pic that the reflections in the headlights make them look like snake eyes!

    Rear Springs 1" Lower

    If I recall right, the P springs were not an even lowering all around. The rear drops a little more than the front. Plus, springs do settle over time. A concern I had was that my 140k mile oem springs might have settled enough that I wouldn't get the advertised drop. At least, not until the new...

    Rear Springs 1" Lower

    Definitely get the adjustable panhard bar. I think there was a visible 3/8" shift to one side. That was with the 235 tires. The 255s add another 5/16"-3/8" to each side of the tire. So that would emphasize the shift.

    I have the Ford P springs. On stock 18" wheels.Don't forget the Ford Performance bumpers.

    California Smog

    The reason for CARB is twofold, neither of which has anything to do with communism. One, this is a free country and people can live anywhere they want. Even in a basin that has great weather, mountains to the north and east, and a nice big ocean to the west. It's so nice, tens of millions used...

    Non Mustang tire rim question

    Yeah, you can't let it sit after putting it in. Need to drive it a while to distribute it.

    Non Mustang tire rim question

    Yikes! I would try Fix A Flat or the green goo first. I did that on the alloy rims on my RX7 that had a similar slow leak issue. I did a kind of fussy process where I partially deflated the tire and put in the FAF, then drove on it per the instructions. The next day I jacked it up and totally...

    05-10 Roush parts..4.6 3V

    Finally clearing out various parts that I have collected over the past couple of years. Stuff I don't need or items that came with what I wanted. I have two items that are Roush products. One is the coolant tube that goes on the passenger side. New, never installed. The other appears to be a...

    quick question! factory MAF sensor screw size?

    I would suspect the vast majority of shops would rather not mess with tailpipe sniffers. Or customers with aftermarket parts and tunes that may or may not generate headaches....and unbillable time. For every person that does it right, there's a hundred that halfass it.

    Looking for some input

    If you have everything, why wait and redundantly spend money on tuning? You'll probably get some recommendations to get long tubes to get a decent result from all the other parts.

    Looking to improve handling without lowering the car

    I have the Koni Str.ts on my car. Decent upgrade from stock, probably not a very sophisticated strut, maybe like a KYB Excel G. I also installed FRPP springs (P, I think, not K), so it's hard to say how much difference the Koni's make on their own. The springs lowered mine about .75" to 1"...

    Control Arms

    Sorry, I don't have that info. I did read somewhere that a few people had twisted the earlier arm in spirited driving. If you go with the 05-10 arm, you'll need the 05-10 spindle (or maybe balljoint, not sure if the later ballpoint will fit into the early arm).

    Control Arms

    Yep. It just gets worse over the years as multiple part numbers are superceded by a single part number. As long as the superseding part is at least as strong as the GT500 item, it's not a function issue. But in 20 years the concourse restoration guys will be hunting down the NOS first type...
