I was thinking the same thing about banging around in S all day. not a pleasant thought.
What is odd, is that the KBB value is coming in around 19k - so even with the cars on the market going for more, I dont really feel comfortable paying 'full price' on a car that might come down in a year.
He wants 21k but I am thinking 16k. Tuned by american muscle - I called them and they found the tune, it is set with the right parts.
Any one of those reasons in particular why you would pass? One more than the other?
Hi -
I am looking at a 2013 Mustang to add to the collection and I have a couple questions.
I notice there is a lot of wear on the shift knob (AUTOMATIC). The chrome paint is all worn down down on the center strip - is this normal?
The car has an x-pipe without cats. It does have a tune and...
Came across one on eBay and thought I would share along. Its selling for real cheap as I post this (but still has time to run down on the clock). Sorry if it isn't in the right place on this forum.

I just took these off my Cobra to go with black/machined Metcos.
The blue has worn off a bit, probably from using too harsh a cleaner.
Also, the belt surface has grooves in them now. I guess the belt had something in it. The are shallow, but has worn in past the anodizing.

Hi, I want to start buying parts to reach 600 HP.
I've read threads about getting a BAP, gt40 pumps, the fore hat...and now I am completely undecided on what to do.
If I want 600hp by adding a whipple..what would be my best option when it comes to fuel? Can someone lend some insight as...
I sent out a set of valve covers to get powder coated, they were off an 03 and marked 03 underneath. I noticed that the one I just took off the car has 04 marked on it.
Does anyone think this will be an issue?
Also, there were some small hairline cracks on the underside of the 03...
Hi,
I am swapping valve covers and was wondering how many people braved it without a new seal kit?
I have 15k on the car, it's an 04. Do you think I should just pony up the cash for a new set or can I get away reusing the old ones?
If anyone knows where the best deal can be had on a...
Hi,
Does anyone have experience with the aluminum manifold? I am tring to get it clean but it almost seems like it is getting dirtier. Let me know if you have any suggestions while I have it off the car.
Hi,
So in the effort to price out what a whipple, kb or vmp will REALLY run me, I am trying to figure out if I need a retune with the supporting mods.
I imagine it is a good idea, but can I drive the car before the new tune is in? I heard that the new MAF renders the car undriveable...
Hi,
I was wondering what the current status is for aftermarket superchargers? I don't want to go ported. Also not looking To make huge power. Happy to stayin the 500-600 range.
If someone could school me on what the current low-end blowers are, I would really appreciate it. I haven't...
Hi,
I just got a used LFP pulley tool but it only has a couple pics, no instructions. does anyone have instructions? I googled around but no luck.
I want to know if I have to use this little screw to connect the big bolt to the supercharger snout for removal. Looks like the bolt needs to be...
Hi Gang,
So as I am trying to get the drive cycle in so i can get the NYS inspection, the cobra over heats!
Here is what I know:
-Heat went all the way to the red
-Fan is on
-All hoses from the crossover are HOT
-The short hose from the thermostat housing to the radiator is cool to the touch...
Hey folks,
Can you over-port the outlet of an eaton? I was wondering if this will cause an issue. I notice posi and stieg don't have any pics up with it this extensive.
Let me know your thoughts!
Hi,
I changed superchargers on my cobra and the new one is making some noise.
I saw this on stiegs site
My blower makes a light noise that goes away when it warms up.**What causes this?
This is normal and will typically go away after 50 to 250 miles of driving.**If the noise grows worse...
Hey gang,
So I Removed the supercharger to put on a new one. There is some oil in the supercharger that looks like it has been running through the intercooler and puddles in the lower intake manifold. Not a lot, but there is some there.
Is this normal? Car has 14k miles. The elbow was...
Hi,
I dropped the bolt that mounts the egr valve to the supercharger and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to find it. It's the double ended one that also holds the black bracket on the driver side of the car.
Let me known if you have one, thanks!
Hi,
Let me know what you have. Used is fine if it's in good condition.
Trying to get one cheap enough to make it not worth pulling mine off to put it on another unit. Have the installer, just not the remover.
Hi,
I noticed some marring on my supercharger shaft.
Anyone have this when removing a pully?
Think it might throw it out of balance? Its like a scratch down the whole shaft
Hey all,
I got a potted eaton today. It's not mine, picked it up second hand. Clean as can be, really no carbon in it.
When I spin the rotors back and forth, I hear a little clunk. Noting wobbles, the gears are solid, can't see anything move except for the rotors spinning. Any thoughts...
Hi,
I got a ticket for making an illegal left and the officer wrote it as a 1110A, failure to obey traffic control device.
I was respectful but the officer seemed hurried and already decided I was getting a ticket although my license was completely clean. I even got "yelled at" for not...
