if they'll get rid of that unbeliveably bright "service engine soon" light that doesnt dim with the interior lights, it'll be more than worth the $60.

For the splice in or the plug in? I know there used to be a code out there to get the splice-in for under $20 but it may have expired.

Edit, nevermind, they don't even sell them anymore.

Have you pulled out the codes? It can be anything else besides the O2 sensors. And if they're bad, the MIL eliminators won't work. They need to be functioning properly.

the code was a "clogged cat" which I'm taking to mean the O2 sensor picked up a higher reading of w/e it is, because there werent any cats.

Thanks Dirk. I'm definitely enjoying it, but also figuring out what I want to get as a daily driver in a year or two so I can just have the Mustang to play in on weekends and nice days outside. When that happens I'm going to cam the hell outta that motor.

I might be selling a supercharger for a 2004 GT somewhere in the future. I got to take it off the wifes Stang so I can install a Whipple Charger on hers instead of the one that is on there. It might be a procharger but I am not 100% sure. I will definitely be keeping you in mind once it is off the car.

To add to that... upgrade to something better while you're at it

I think you should save up and get a tuner. There's the right way and there's the cheap way IMO.

the elminators I'm going to try first, they're 60, as opposed to 300+ for a tuner

so i figured out why my dome light never came on...there wasnt a bulb in it!

also, one of the clips that holds the bulb in is half broken. Here's the question, can I just get that metal piece, or do I have to buy a whole nother assembly? (to see how well you know me, guess what I would do in each situation, lol)


also, I finally changed out the stupendously dirty old filter! as bad as that thing was I might get 5 more mpg, lol.


*and a gratuitous reflection shot for those of you that admire paint
