    SCT adjustments

    I just tuned a my stock 4.0 automatic to run on 93+ Octane. I removed the speed limiter and lowered both low and high fan settings. I notice my shift settings are on the high side and hits the red line each gear as it shifts. I haven't changed over to a CAI or dual exhaust yet. But I was...

    Fog lamp kit and grill including switch and wiring harness

    I have a 2007 Converable Pony with a plain grill. I would like to have the same grill a GT has. Anyone have a link where I can buy everything I need to do that? Would a 2007 GT grill fit a 4.0 2007 if I were to order it from Ford?

    Storage for the winter months

    I will be renting a part of a large garage for my 2007 4.0 convertible next Saturday. I will be storing it on a dry concrete floor with other hotrods from my car club. Should I take the battery out? Or should I leave it in? This is the first time I have ever stored a more modern car. Thanks!

    Traded in my 1999 3.8 for the 2007 4.0

    I traded in my1999 3.8 for the 2007 4.0 Pony. I got a $5,000 trade in for it- way above book value. The car at the Ford dealership wanted $14,999 for it. Now I am paying $9,999 at $310 a month. The Pony only has 22,000 and had only 2 female owners and no accidents. The car was originally a...

    What Cats pass the sniffer test?

    A friend of mine at the car show sold me a almost new looking Stainless Steel Catbacks Loudmouth dual exhaust system. I plan on converting my 3.8 to dual exhaust. I want to change over the complete exhaust system except for the shorty headers. I will be purchasing the H-pipe adapter and hanger...

    Added a SR CAI

    I just added a SR CAI yesterday. It only took me a hour to get it all together. I extended the vacuum hose with a piece of 3/8" fuel injection hose- and a piece of the stock hose to make it fit with no tension or stress. I took out the stock plastic hose connector from the stock hose and refused...

    What is this... and what is it's function?

    I was scrubbing my engine, getting rid of some rotted hoses when I saw this. I disconnected it to clean off some of the rust off of it. The rubber hoses had some sort of plastic inside it. I figure that was designed that way so clamps aren't needed? It was a pain getting it all back together. I...

    Like to add fog lamps

    I have a stock 1999 front end that doesn't have the fog lamps, It never had them. I looked behind the bottom fender and it looks like it has the mounts where the fog lamp brackets would bolt or screw on. My question is, can I cut flush the bottom inlets and bolt on the Mustang fog lamps? Or...

    Marvel Mystery Oil

    My 3.8 engine was quite oxidized because it sat for so long before I bought my "Nikki." Some guys at the local car show told me the Marvel Mystery Oil gets the aluminum cleaned up and takes the oxidation right off with a little elbow grease. I stopped at a nearby Dollar General and bought a...

    Not happy with Goodyear.

    I just went to Goodyear Tire in Ithaca to get a front end alignment. The Tech called me back complaining of the surface rust and that he had to heat up the tie-down ends to dial out the front end. One of my tires had a flat spot on the passenger side, and I also had him replace and balance that...
