My 2002 GT squeaks over bumps (normal, says Ford), clunks into second gear, the A/C compressor makes a "shinck" noise as its clutch goes in and out, the driver's side window squeaks noisely as it goes down and just recently the car has started making a ticking noise that I think might be a tiny exhaust leak (getting it checked out soon).
Not major problems, but annoying nonetheless. However, when I fire her up and hear the exhaust roar, all is forgiven... : )

Anyone know about how long you should go until cleaning a K and N Air filter? Oh ya, and HOW do I clean it?
Thanks!

Dropped in a K&N last winter....will convert to dual exhaust and 17" wheels/tires this summer....the way it runs, I'm looking to have her for the long haul.
Mine is black, no wing. Looks smooth as silk!
Heading back to school for my masters, so I needed to make sure that my car was under budget and under warranty...didn't want to risk the next year waiting for the new 'stang.
Good luck to you all. I hope this Mustang is everything it looks like it will be. I will be on the fence, waiting for graduation and a fat paycheck on the other end...once I am there, maybe I will be back in the market for a car.
hope that link works!
Also, soaring insurance premiums helped kill the muscle cars the first time around; I wouldn't be surprised if this happens again soon...
My '02 has headrests straight out of 1967... : (

I'm not an expert on performance parts, but as far as getting a bra, if you do get one, read the instructions that come with it.
Most people who have them don't realize that you're not supposed to keep them on the car 24-7 (unless you want the two-tone look), and leaving a wet bra (from rain, etc.) on the car is terrible for the paint.

I'd say overall, enjoy your new Mustang as is for a while...it's a great car right out of the box, and if you wait a little while before modding, you'll appreciate the mods more. I waited about a year before doing anything on mine, and after getting to know a car for a year, it made the mods (esp. the exhaust) really seem a big, cool change! : )

I did the Pro 5.0/Redline mod and even to my feeble old brain there's a great improvement in shifting.
Are they worth it? I heard from one dealer (re my wife's BWM)that dust covers could cause the brakes to overheat and warp the rotors. Does anyone have any experience with these covers?
I have the 03 V6 with 5-speed. It's all stock, but I'd like to get dual exhaust and a CAI.
Has anyone had problems with the dealer claiming their MODS have voided the warranty?
I haven't had any huge problems with my Stang - great car. A couple rattles, but the roads around here are not very good. Only issue is sometimes CDs don't like to eject from the CD changer (no I don't stick labels on my CDRs). I should tell my dealer about this next time I go in for an oil change. If I had to do it over again, I would've looked for a car without the Mach 460.
Thanks for you help. - Jeffer2
MODS vs Factory Warranty: Here is the deal...if you install a supercharger/NOS and blow your engine, obviously you're out of luck. But if you install neon lights and your transmission falls out of the car, the dealer will honor your warranty. They must prove that what you did (MOD) had a direct/indirect effect on the issue your car is having with any mechanical breakdowns.
Best of luck to all here...be safe and happy motoring!

I am thinking of buying either a 92 or 93 Gt Conv. What are some your opinions of them? Pros vs Cons of years?
What MPG would I expect for a normally driven car? ( no racing or fast driving )
What is a good price for a under 20K car in like new condition?
Any suggestions or opinions are appreciated
Thanks alot!! ponyrider2
I see people asking insane amounts of money for real low mileage mustangs in the mustang forums. A lot of them want in the $10k-$15k range and a few wanted even more. I have no idea if they are actually getting that but there is no way I would pay that kind of money for one. Its not like mustangs are hard to find or something. I'd rather find a nice one for around $4k-$6k with more miles on it.
Cheers

If yes, what do you think of it?
Is it a direct replacement for the 6Cd changer in the Mach 460 system?
Thanks for your help. - J

Happy 4th of July to everyone out there...and what better holiday to enjoy the slice of Americana that is the Mustang!
-John
Mine is one of 'em!
Anybody know what the trouble is?

The combination of 265 lb-ft of torque and a five speed manual could actually be good, cheap fun.
2001 BMW 330ci/E46, 2008 BMW 335i conv/E93
It should be perfectly adequate for daily driver duty and strong enough to have some fun with when the mood strikes.
Then again no V6 could sound as good as a 5.0.
2001 BMW 330ci/E46, 2008 BMW 335i conv/E93
Thankfully it's a convertible so when I have a fender bender I can toss it in the back seat.
Anything else I should look for?
