***Update 6/18 - Sold*** Note to other sellers - given the very high level of interest I had from Autotrader in particular (10+ very serious inquiries from the SE US) I think you can probably ask more than $20K for a low miles, fundamentally stock, unabused, very clean 2003-2004 Terminator...

As they say on the radio talk shows, long-time listener, first time caller here. I just got a ticket for a 71 in a 55 in NY State while I was driving my family home from a dinner out. It's a straightforward charge. I was not paying sufficient attention to my speed, I said as much, and it's on...

Hi folks, I just bought a used green 99 CSVT that has just a touch of rust on the lower inside of the driver-side front door, where the outside metal laps around the inside metal. I'm thinking about replacing the door as a permanent fix because the rest of the car is perfect & relatively low...

This isn't about Terminators per se, although I have one... but the knowledge should be relevant across all models and types, I think. Question for all the paint & exterior gurus out there... I just picked up a 99 CSVT as a daily driver, and it has some rust starting on the inside bottom...

Yes indeed, after a year of hemming, hawing, dillying, dallying, and vacillating (not to be confused with Vaseline), today my baby finally changed from gelding to stallion. Much thanks to NINO :thumbsup: and NINOSPORT :bowdown: - great customer service when I ordered on Tuesday, and they...

I was just about to pull the trigger on some KDWs when these magically appeared this morning. they must have found some sitting in the warehouse. I had these on my old 99 and I love 'em. If you're interested...

Limiting choices only to these two tires, and ignoring price differences, which would you choose and why? How do they compare with dry/wet handling & wear? Which launches better? Feedback appreciated. I thought I had enough life left in my stock F1-GS tires to get through the low-mileage...

.... drop-shipped from a reputable dealer... Tire Rack is $812 + $32 ship - $75 rebate = $769 DTD is $216 each shipped ($864-$75 rebate = $789) Any other vendor options y'all can think of? Also aside from the $20 price difference is there a reason to go with one vendor rather than...

Periodically over the last few months I have noticed something. When it's cool outside, and the car is cold, when I let in the clutch the first time or two to reverse and pull out I hear a medium-pitch and somewhat breathy squealing sound. If you've flown on an old airliner lately, it sounds...

www thecarconnection.com also see posts in the Lightning forums. A sad day. Maybe they'll put some more resources into the '07 Cobra... or maybe the Cobra is at risk as well?

Would anyone mind running an Oasis on the following VIN... 1FAFP68G8XK225569 Looking at a possible SVT Contour to go with my Cobra. I have an old ZX3 as a daily driver but it just feels so.... well, slow, and pokey. Thanks!

I'm probably going to hold out for the new AR system, but I did notice a local shop has the 2.5" MAC catback for a pretty good price. Does anyone have this with stock H & headers? How do you like it? Any drone? Power gains? Sound clips? I searched around ALOT (this board and others)...

Those with an aftermarket intake with a cone filter (e.g. FIPK, Steeda, etc.) may find this interesting. Last weekend I changed my oil (Amsoil 0W30) at 3000 miles and sent a sample off to Blackstone Labs for analysis. I just got back the results, and they are interesting to say the least...
