    I hate feeling so helpless

    I hate what your going through. I am going through a similar ordeal with my mom now. Was told just three months ago that she had three years to live due to a Severe Mycobacterium Avium infection. two months later she is on Hospice and now the doctors are saying she might have weeks or just...

    Just drove Ford Mustang Ecoboost - NICE!

    Its a little different when you get into mods as its all relative. The 4cyl mustang in the video had drag radials as well as a tune. You put drag radials on a stock 5.0 and your running mid 12's and that's without a tune. They are still pretty quick for the money though.

    First Speeding Ticket(Questions)

    Here you can usually speak with the prosecuting attorney's office if you don't have any other tickets on your record. I had to still pay the fine but they put the ticket under 6 month advisement meaning if I didn't get any other tickets within 6 months it would not show up on my record. After...

    Getting my Spark Plugs done

    I replaced mine on my 06 back when I had around 20k miles on it during a supercharger install. Ended up breaking one plug on it and I followed the TSB to a T. I was able to buy the Lisle tool at a local Autozone for about 60 dollars to get it out though. It was a little nerve wracking but in...

    What is with used Mustang GT (4.6) prices?

    You will need to pick up the window seal from the Ford dealership, I think mine was 30 or 40 dollars a side. You don't have to take the door panel off to replace the seal. There is only one screw that you really have to take out and then the door panel trim pulls back , slide the seal out...

    What is with used Mustang GT (4.6) prices?

    The window seals in the 2005-2007 are hard and really does mess up window tint. You can buy the 2008+ trim and install it and you wont have this problem. Only took a few minutes per side.

    What is with used Mustang GT (4.6) prices?

    I didnt crank the engine when I replaced my plugs. Just don't go crazy with the carb cleaner. :) I only put in about 1/2 a teaspoon in each cylinder. I did let the cleaner soak a lot longer than 30 minutes, I ended up putting the cleaner in the spark plug wells and let it soak over night.

    What is with used Mustang GT (4.6) prices?

    He's serious. That is what Ford recommends in their TSB's to help prevent the two peice plug from getting carbon built up on it. Don't ask me how a little bit of anti sieze on the heat shield of the plug doesnt get burnt off.

    What is with used Mustang GT (4.6) prices?

    I know a few people that still use the stock two piece plug but they pull them every oil change and put antisieze on the heat shield to help prevent the carbon buildup. I really don't want to mess with pulling my plugs every 5k miles.

    What is with used Mustang GT (4.6) prices?

    This was the one piece plug that Brisk makes that is in the stock heat range. http://www.brenspeed.com/3vr17ys.html I use the one heat range colder plug from them as I am supercharged. I Havent had any issues with the brisk plugs though.

    What is with used Mustang GT (4.6) prices?

    Oh they are super easy to get to, its just that carbon builds up around the plug on the inside of the head. Ford trucks also had this issue. I switched mine out last year at 20k miles and still had one break off. Brisk does make a one piece plug that won't have this issue.

    What is with used Mustang GT (4.6) prices?

    Do you know if the original spark plugs are still in there or were they changed out at 100k? If you haven't seen on any of the forums yet be careful if you plan to pull and check any of your spark plugs yourself. The 2005-07 have the two piece design that is a pita to work with in regards to...

    What is with used Mustang GT (4.6) prices?

    I had similar issues with mine when I was stock. I would try cleaning the throttle body and then performing the relearn procedures and see if that makes it any better. I never had to do these again after getting a custom tune. Pull negative terminal from battery, wait 30 minutes...

    I cant be screwed!!! Help...

    Having only liability insurance there is probably nothing you can do except try to sue the guy that caused the whole mess, but you will probably not get anything. My wife was recently involved in an accident like yours a few weeks ago. A lady in a mini van hit the person behind my wife and...

    Deal or No Deal - 1986 Pontiac Trans Am

    305's were turds. The ford 302 has a 4" bore and a 3" stroke, which makes for a high winding engine. The chevy 305 has a 3.74" bore and a 3.48 stroke which makes for a good low rpm engine, but it tends to drop off above 5000 rpm. Also because of the smaller bore in a 305, the heads are...

    Deal or No Deal - 1986 Pontiac Trans Am

    When I was 17 I had an 88 Trans Am GTA, same body style as this but with the 5.7 liter L98 engine. It felt fast to me at the time, and had tons of Torque. Never had any trouble with the car mechanically. It had around 198k miles on it when I sold it. 9k for this seems really over priced...

    Put an offer on a house, Inspection Issues.

    We had the foundation inspection done Monday. The engineer did find current issues with the foundation that needed to be addressed. He said it was mainly caused by drainage issues on the property. To fix it he recommended 8 Piers to on the right side of the house and two french drains to...

    Put an offer on a house, Inspection Issues.

    The brick is just a veneer not structual. We have an engineer coming out next week to look at the crack. Our realtor spoke with the listing agent and was told the crack was there when the current owners bought the house 7 years ago and was told it was cosmetic by there inspector. This could...

    Put an offer on a house, Inspection Issues.

    So far it has been hard trying to find an engineer. I have only found two that will do a residential building and they want 100 dollars at a minimum of 5 to 10 hours to look at it. The inspector did check the weep holes and they were there and not blocked.

    Yea, there was silicone in the crack. It looks like someone tried to seal it at one point.

    Put an offer on a house, Inspection Issues.

    1) The crack seemed to be a little larger just in the middle, the top and bottom was about the same size. 2) There are two trees, they might be of equal distance to the house. They are not super tall trees. 3) The yard does have a gentle slope away from the foundation on this side of the...

    Put an offer on a house, Inspection Issues.

    What the inspector was concerned about was that the lintel supporting the brick could have broken away from the foundation causing the bricks to crack from the lack of support. He didn't give me any prices but said is usually pretty costly to fix. If it is just a veneer and isn't supporting...

    This house does not have a basement. A lot of houses here don't have them since it is pretty expensive as the bedrock is not very deep.

    Put an offer on a house, Inspection Issues.

    This is a poured slab foundation, Wood frame house with a brick veneer. In the picture of the crack you can see it goes through a few of the bricks. On the inside of the house we did not see any structure damage. No cracks in the drywall or ceiling. Doors shut with no problems.

    Put an offer on a house, Inspection Issues.

    The house was built in 1987. The crack is pretty large, I could stick my finger in it, this is not just a hair line crack in the mortar but it has gone through the middle of quite a few cracks.

    Has anyone had a home inspection on a new house they were looking at buying and the inspector find possible issues with the foundation? I am not sure if we should walk, have the seller fix it or just lower the asking price. The really are in love with this house. We just had the inspection...

    Tireshop messed up my wheel

    Ordered the wheel online and took the invoice down the tire shop at lunch. They wrote me a check so all is well. They didn't ask for the dinged up wheel not sure what I am going to do with it. I doubt anyone would buy it but I guess I could always take it to the scrap metal place.

    Tireshop messed up my wheel

    They aren't stock ,but they weren't super cheap though. http://www.americanmuscle.com/foose-nitrous-wheel-chrome.html I told him that they usually run between about 375 to 400 a wheel and he said he was okay with that. The stock bullets that came on the car can be had for a lot cheaper.

    Tireshop messed up my wheel

    First time I have been to a tire shop that was not able to mount a tire. The tire's size was the exact same size as the one they took off. I have seen people on some of the mustang boards run these Goodyears on the same wheel also.

    Tireshop messed up my wheel

    I took my mustang in to get it aligned since the camber is off after being lowered a little bit. They get it aligned and then tell me about my front tires need replacing since they are worn quite a bit on the insides. They sell me on a decent deal on some Goodyear F1's for 100 dollars each...

    Damn, these sports cars are so noisy and uncomfortable...

    We have a 2007 Nissan Altima as a daily driver to our Supercharged 2006 Mustang Gt. The mustang is harsh/stiff and pretty loud but so much fun. It's hard some days to take the Altima to work instead of just hopping in the Mustang.

    Plasti-Dip on wheels...

    I plasti dipped my wheels over the winter and it held up fine. It didn't peel at all even when power washed. Just pulled the plasti dip off last week with no problems. The stuff is cheap so it wouldn't hurt to try it if that's what you like.
