    Best place to find pass side OEM head for L?

    Thanks, Dusten. She is away at college, so I am not able to do the repair myself... it is at a shop local to her, and the serviceman will use the timesert on it. In talking at length with him, he has done a number of these, and did say only on rare occasions will it not seat and work...

    What's it REALLY worth?

    Hey folks. Want some honest opinions on what my son's '04 DSG Lightning is worth. He is considering something that would be less insurance and better gas mileage. Here's the info on it: Family-owned since new (1 documented owner...me) Entire life spent in N. Dallas suburbs Accident-free...

    He*p...sheared lug on front hub

    Washed my car this AM (last time was prob 10-12 days ago... car never sees bad weather), and noticed that a lug nut was missing. Upon further inspection, the lug has sheared off. I torque them down to 90lbs, so I don't understand what could have happened... but whatever the case, I need to...

    2009 Red GT500 'vert, TVS, 2542 miles F/S

    As the title says, I am putting my GT500 up for sale. The reason is simple... I just do not drive it enough (obvious with the super low miles). Never tracked, but dyno tuned with care, so as to keep things safe and streetable. Updated miles... 3473 as of 5/11/12 Mods are tasteful...

    FRPP 42lb greentop injectors FS

    ~6k miles on them. Actually had them in my twin-turbo Vette, but just put some bigger injectors in that car, so I have these for sale. Excellent condition, have only been on one car, and not yanked on and off a dozen times (o-rings in great shape). $225 shipped.

    Does clutch TSB fix balky 1-2 shift?

    My car has 1200 miles on it, and it is not abused. No track time, and I do not powershift (right foot planted on upshift is my definition). However, when I'm driving aggressively I shift quickly and have been driving stick cars for upwards of 25 years. 2-3 and 3-4 are fine. I can nail...

    How do I delete comments...

    some moron I don't even know has posted inappropriate comments on several of my pics in the gallery. I have gone to the comments and deleted them, but they still show up when I pull up the picture itself. How can I get rid of these. The language is inappropriate. If he doesn't like the...

    My GT500 just saved the taxpayers some $$

    Driving my 9th grader to school this AM in my GT500, this dumb lady literally pulls out 100' in front of me (probably closer to 60-70' after further thought, but I don't know for sure), trying to cross 4 lanes of traffic. I was going near the speed limit (~35mph) and had to use every bit of...

    $1000 cash and carry (_strongly_ prefer no shipping, as I do not want to break down the wheels/tires) Set of 4 Shelby GT500 wheels, mint condition. Only 650 miles on the wheels AND tires. These are off my '09 GT500 convertible. Tires are Goodyear F1 Supercar, 255/45f and 285/40r). No...

    New wheel/tire combo installed

    After lots of research on various whee/tire sizes, and then waiting patiently 6 weeks for my wheels to get built, everything is finally here and installed. I know some of you do not like the black wheels, but with the red car/black stripes, the look turned out exactly how I had envisioned...

    Ford TPMS w/ aftermarket wheels?

    Ok, so I'm getting some aftermarket wheels. Can the factory TPMS sensors be taken off my OEM wheels and installed on the new wheels? Is this difficult? Is it something a qualified tire installer can handle?

    These are the wheels I am purchasing

    Fikse Profil 10 18x9.5 front, 18x10.5 rear Black centers with polished lip. I think they will look good on my Torch Red GT500 w/ black stripes. And here is a pic of them on a GT500... satin finish

    285/40-18s on front?

    Anyone done this? I'm going to be putting some Nitto DR 305/40-18s on the rear, and considered putting 285/40s on the front. Any rubbing issues on various suspension components during turns and lock-to-lock?

    Initial impressions of my new GT500 'vert

    First, let me apologize for the length. But if I left something out, somebody would jump on me, or not understand that this is just an objective critique (not much in the way of negative at all) from someone who drives all different kinds of vehicles, and isn't really brand loyal (anymore)...

    Going to pick up my car tomorrow!!

    I fly into Houston in the AM, and get to drive back to the Big D tomorrow. It's supposed to be nearly 70^F and sunny. Should be a great day for a drive. Car ended up making 579rwhp SAE from the FRPP Supercharger kit (TVS), Magnaflow cat-back, and custom tuning as the only power-producing...

    The wait is tough...

    I posted awhile back about purchasing a new '09 GT500 'vert back in mid-December. I bought it from a dealer in Houston (I live near Dallas) and they partner with a shop right down the street from them who does mods/installations and tuning on a lot of GT500s and other hot-rods. After talking...

    Nitto 305/40-18 555R

    This tire shows up on Nitto's website, but I am having a hard time finding it at any Discount Tire in the Dallas area. Can you guys get this tire? I believe it is a fairly new size. I am not interested in the 305/45 or 305/35. The 40-series tire would work well on my GT500. Thx.

    Post pics of your aftermarket wheels on your GT500

    Interested to see what some of you have out there. I did a search in the photo gallery and it didn't come up with a lot. Tatood1 has some cool looking wheels from what his avatar shows. Let's see some pics. Please include tire sizes if you are not running stock sizes any longer.

    Just signed the paperwork today

    Took the plunge. Found an '09 GT500 convertible for the right price ($4k below sticker). The dealer (not a forum vendor here, so I won't post) also does performance work, and has a tuning shop right down the road that works in conjunction with them. Here is how the car will come to me from...

    Pics of GT500's with 27.5-28" tall rear tires?

    I tried the search. I would like to see some pics of GT500s with tires that are a little taller than the stockers. Thinking 305/40's or 315/40 DR's might be a good thing...even for daily street use. Will the taller rear tire screw anything up as far as the computer? I know the speedo will...

    FRPP Handling Pack for GT500...will it help axle-hop?

    This may be a silly question, but I haven't had a Mustang since '02, so I am not familiar with how these newer ones respond to suspension improvements. Will the FRPP Handling Pack help the issues with axle-hop? I realize it is comprised of springs, F/R swaybars and bushings, so I'm thinking...
