    Misfire Codes

    Hello all, I have a 2016 GT with 24,000 miles, and I recently got a check engine light (CEL) while driving to work. I pulled the codes (P0300 and P0308), and cleard them since I didn't feel a miss. Two days later, the light was back, so I took it in for assessment. The local dealer changed...

    Wow and wow

    So with the wife out of town for a few days, I decided to catch up on a couple wish-list items. First, I swapped out the transmission fluid for the Royal Purple Max Gear. All I can say is wow, the difference is huge; it's soooo smooth now. The second item was the replacement of the door...

    Steeda shifter installed

    I installed my Steeda shifter and JHR bracket today. The installation was easy, with just two areas requiring a little effort. First, the removal of the bracket under the car is a little difficult due to a retainer clip. After removing both nuts, I pulled the driver’s side down and then...

    new toys

    After looking at each of the name brand shifters for a long time, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the Steeda. I had a Tri-ax on my 03 Cobra, but hated it. In fact, it was only on the car a day before I pulled it out and shot it with a 44 mag. That said, I decided to go with the Steeda...

    Exhaust installed

    I finally got around to installing my exhaust, and I am really pleased with the results. I started off with the Heart Throb 3 inch Cat-to-axel system with the H-pipe, and chose Flowmaster’s 40 series for the mufflers. I had a local muffler shop fab up the mufflers rather than buy the axel-back...
