Convertible helpppppp

SteveCrapello — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 07:15:07 GMT

(I posted this exact post in the other section - I'm just really eager to find out how to fix this)

My power convertible top is acting up and I need some help with it.

Believe me, this is something much easier witnessed than described, but I'll give it a go.

So I start off, unhook my top, set the brake, even roll the windows down a bit to make life easier on my top. I hold the button down, but the top doesn't budge. It makes a noise like the parts inside are moving, but something ...

Convertible Top

MustangSally86 — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 05:48:13 GMT

Okay, so I have noticed that when we get heavy rain my top leaks and I get water into my car behind the backseat, however, I think my dad and I may have solved the problem not sure yet, but I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a new top in case I need to buy a new one.

Thanks!

Miles per Tank?

Sweet6ER — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 04:10:09 GMT

OK so recently my MPT has gone done a lot. When I first got my car in March 07 I was getting about 230-250 per tank. I was driving the car almost everyday on both city and highway. Now my car is getting about 170-200 MPT. Anyone know what the problem could be?

Also, how many miles does everyone else get on their GTs or 6ers?

305/35/zr20 does anybody have?

eric200mph — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 06:48:06 GMT

I want to fill out my 10"wide saleen rim on rear.and try and get more traction. does any body have this mounted on a saleen rim on 05' and up mustang? I do not want it to stick out past fender. the 305/35/20 is the closest size i can find to go wider and keep the hieght the same. My stock tire is a pirelli 275/40/20(rear). also it looks like i will have to go with pirelli p zero again, there is not many choices . I plan on leaving the stock pirelli's on front. so they match. i was thinking ...

500 RWHP daily drivers -talk to me

Al Guapo — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:33:57 GMT

Ok, so I have my set up (sig) for about 3 weeks now. I'm already getting bored.

I want to get closer to the 500ish mark on a dyno jet with stock internals but now I question reliabilty.

I know that 450RWHP is ok but I've also seen guys making 500 all day. I'd like to know from your personal experience. Good and bad.

This is my ONLY car. I do about 40% of city driving + NYC.

So for the daily drivers (12k miles/year) at the 500ish mark with stock internals:

Damn car is at the dealership

Maverick9110E — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:14:02 GMT

Right rear brakes are like shot all of a sudden, i think the right rear caliper is hanging up, the left side still has about 3k-5k miles of life left on the pads at the very least but the right rear is totally done. almost digging into the rotor, so i dropped it off at the dealer, i think its time for my extended premium warranty to start earning its keep. lol. anyone also know how much the stock pirelli's are from the dealer? STS only charges $91 a pop.

WHEELS for SALE

JonBeast — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 05:02:08 GMT

Selling my stock 97 GT split spokes...I painted them black and left the lip silver. I like them a lot, but I'm getting 18s so I don't have any use for them anymore.

I'm asking 300+shipping for the wheels and tires. Tires are Bridgestone Potenza'a 245/45/17s all around. Tires have tons of life left.

I would prefer local pickup, but I will ship if needed.

I bought these on Ebay and had them installed. I don\'t know the brand. When first installed, I loved it off the line. The uppers completely eliminated side to side movement. On the highway the handling was outstanding. The problem was the squeeking after a few weeks. So I started spraying silicone on the poly bushings. It was cool for a while and it happened again. I went back to the garage and they tighten the bolts. Tellin me they were loose. It ...

Which tune is more MPG Friendly?

StangMan Jonathan — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 06:04:33 GMT

I have the torque, performance and racing.

I know the racing is definitely out of the question.

Now I'm just curious about whether the Torque or Performance is better.

Give me some opinions. Thanks

Also, can the tuner be used on other Ford Cars or other mustangs in case I want to tune them to run better? If so, would I lose my stock tune for my mustang or can it save more than one?

I want your picture to put on my site!!
