Ultimate 1979-2007 Mustang Parts - Buyers' Guide
'79-'07 Ultimate Mustang Parts
The late-model Mustang phenomenon continues, with plenty of thanks to the latest S197 model. The newest Mustang stands alone as the only remaining ponycar-at least for the moment. Since 1979, and especially since 1987 when the factory 5.0L engine reached 225 hp, the Mustang has been America's hottest performance car. From there, the aftermarket sprung into action. Hopping-up Mustangs became one of the hottest automotive trends from 1987 until the end of the Fox-body era in 2004.
Now we have the '07 Mustang, which was introduced in 2005 as a new model. It's also a bona-fide hit with hardcore Mustang enthusiasts and everyday Joes on the street. That's great news for the aftermarket parts industry, which has been working overtime for the last three years to create performance pieces-from LED taillights to superchargers-for the hottest car on the market. The current Mustang ranks right up there with the '57 Chevy, the '67-'69 Camaro, and the Fox-body Mustang as the most modified cars of all time. Even Ford dealers are getting in on the act by installing aftermarket wheels and Le Mans stripes on new '07s.
In this special Late-Model Mustang Parts Guide, we're showcasing many of the products available for '79-'07 Mustangs. Get your credit card ready and check out these great new pieces.
'86-'93 Stainless Exhaust
For a great-sounding exhaust system that lasts, Latemodel Restora-tion Supply now offers a stainless steel exhaust kit for '86-'93 5.0L LXs and '86 GTs. Each kit includes a set of polished 151/48-inch shorty headers, a 211/42-inch off-road X-shape crossover, and 211/42-inch after-cat mufflers with polished tips.
Fox-Body Rears
New from Currie Enterprises are heavy-duty rearends for '79-'93 Fox-body Mustangs. Available in four- and five-lug wheel-bolt patterns, they're designed to replace the original units with a stronger assembly built for high performance and dura-bility. The Fox-body rear-ends feature Currie's 9-Plus round-back housing and 31-spline axle package built to the stock overall-width and pinion-offset specifications. Heavy-duty leaf-spring pads are installed in the stock location for easy bolt-in installation. For the four-lug bolt pattern, specify PN FDM7993X4; PN FDM7993X5 for the five-lug.
25 percent Underdrive
Auto Specialties Performance's three-piece pulley set for the '79-'93 5.0L engine features a 25 percent underdrive for reduced parasitic drag and more usable horsepower. Available in red-, black-, blue-, and silver-anodized, the pulleys are perfect for Fox-body Mustangs with the air conditioning and power steering removed.
Hurst Short-Throw
Hurst has added another Billet Plus short-throw shifter to its line for five-speed Mustangs. The newest shifter (PN 391-5033) fits '83-'01 Mustangs with Borg-Warner T5 or T45 transmissions. Engineered for positive and precise gear changes, it reduces throw by 30 percent to provide quicker shifts. It also features adjustable gear stops to prevent internal transmission damage and comes with the traditional Hurst chrome-plated stick and classic white knob.
Got You Covered
Sometimes all you want is a flashier version of the factory valve covers. In that case, Ford Racing takes care of the 5.0L engine with these die-cast chrome covers (PN M-6582-D302). They're perfect replacements for plain factory covers. Ford Racing also offers a number of finned, aluminum covers.
Tighten Up
Steeda's full-length subframe connectors have been improved with a new one-piece reinforced crossbrace. Unlike other subframe connectors with individual gussets or no reinforcements at all, the Steeda full-length bars have the gussets built in for greater strength and less welding. The company's connectors run the full length of the floorpan for increased chassis rigidity, better handling, and improved ride. Available in bare steel or zinc-plated, the bars include torque-box reinforcing plates for a stronger attachment to the rear subframe.
Foxy Upholstery
TMI Products has created a new line of replacement upholstery for '87-'93 Fox-body Mustangs. Designed to replicate the original factory look while delivering today's standards of performance and wear, the TMI Fox-body upholstery is available in authentic cloth and vinyl-with some leather also offered-at most Mustang parts vendors.
Cat4ward Headers
With JBA's Cat4ward headers for 4.6L engines in '96-'04 Fox-body Mustangs, you can bolt on a significant increase in horsepower and torque. Engineered as a performance replacement for the restrictive factory manifolds, JBA's dyno-proven header design features 151/48-inch mandrel-bent stainless steel primary tubes, 31/48-inch CNC laser-cut flanges, and JBA's sealing-dome technology. Each kit comes with the necessary hardware, gaskets, and instructions for a professional, no-leak installation. High-temperature ceramic coating is also available.
'99-'04 Sequentials
New from Mustang Project is the first LED sequential kit for the '99-'04 Mustang that doesn't perform false sequencing during braking. The brake lights sequence only when the turn signal is activated, and all three sections of the taillight illuminate during braking. All connectors, instructions, and LED modules for both sides are provided. No wire cutting or harness change-out is required for installation; just pop the modules in place of the factory lamps. The LEDs are brighter and redder, and they will last forever.
31-spline Mosers
If the stock 28-splines aren't cutting it anymore, American Muscle offers 31-spline axles to mate to 31-spline differentials for 8.8-inch rearends in '79-'93 5.0L Mustangs. The axles feature machined C-clip grooves to fit OEM applications. They're non-tapered and come with hardened bearings for durability and performance under high-stress conditions.
5.0 Distributor
Performance Distributors' 5.0 computer distributor is now available for '84-'95 5.0L applications. Built with a full-length, oil-impregnated bushing, the unit assures durability compared to stock distributors, which have only one upper bushing. The new distributor also improves shaft rotation and magnetic pickup coil signals. The included Dyna Module provides more electronic dwell time, allowing the coil to saturate further for a more intense spark. Powdercoated in blue, the unit is ideal for those who want the stock look with Motorcraft distributor housings.
TP Cable
Performance Automatic has reissued the throttle pressure cable (Ford PN E7ZZ -7F042-A), for Fox-body Mustangs. Discontinued by Ford, the cable fits '86-'93 5.0 Mustangs and is the critical connection between the throttle body and the AOD transmission pressure-control circuits. If damaged or stretched, transmission failure can occur, often without the driver knowing.
TRZ Suspension
TRZ Motorsports offers a complete suspension package for '79-'04 Mustangs. All components are TIG-welded using chrome-moly tubing, premium Teflon-lined rod ends, and high-strength delrin bushings. The lower control arms are either single or double adjustable, while the upper control arms are double adjustable and feature extra gussets. Spherical bearings can be added to reduce suspension bind while providing a more solid pinion movement. TRZ's antiroll bar welds between the framerails to prevent body roll, significantly reducing 60-foot times.
Pillar Pods
Lethal Performance's Speed of Sound pillar pods are a direct replacement for '96-'04 Mustang A-pillars. Available to hold either two or three standard 211/416-inch gauges, the pillar pods are perfect for mounting boost and fuel-pressure gauges. No cutting or painting is required. Injection molded with the factory-correct texture, the dual pods retail for $119.99; triple pods are $139.99.
Severe-Duty Axle Kit
Latemodel Restoration Supply's severe-duty rear-axle kit for '79-'93 8.8-inch axles provides everything to build a bulletproof rearend. Kits include a Dura Grip 31-spline differential; hardened 31-spline, five-lug axles; chrome-moly 3.5-inch studs; heavy-duty 3.73 gears; a master bearing kit; an axle bearing and seal kit; a carrier bearing cap stud kit; a heavy-duty differential support and cover; a pinion flange; and Royal Purple 85W140 synthetic gear lube.
Relocated Boots
With some 5.0L Mustang header applications, burning spark plug wires is a concern. WrenchRat's new SparkArm spark-plug boots and wire-relocation product permanently stops the problem by moving the wires away from the header's heat zone. The SparkArm is 4-inches long with a 11/42-inch-diameter, adjustable pivot point. It features a high-temperature, ceramic exterior, which houses conductive stainless interior components, to safely conduct sparks between the wire and plug.
4.6 Intake
Owners of '96-'04 Mustang GTs now have an aftermarket intake for 4.6L Two-Valve engines, exclusively from Texas Hot Rods. The HPS 4.6 Hardball'r aluminum intake is a direct replacement for the factory plastic version and works well on all applications. It provides an additional 15 hp on naturally aspirated engines and up to 25 hp for blown or nitrous cars. The unique two-piece construction allows for additional porting.
Topside Adjuster
Ford Racing's topside clutch adjuster (PN M-7554-A) allows clutch cable adjustment without going underneath the car. The adjuster mounts in the firewall, where the forward wheel can be turned in or out to move the cable. The adjuster also eliminates the factory rubber bushing, providing more precise clutch action.
Billet Knobs
Xada Racing Products has introduced its line of CNC billet-aluminum shift knobs. Anodized, chromed, and polished, the knobs come with adapters for '79-'04 Mustangs to provide an OEM fit that integrates with the factory shifter boot. The Spinner version comes in a chrome-and-black finish with a ball-bearing-supported spinning center ring. The Lonestar sports a hidden and sealed compartment, accessed by unscrewing the chrome top. The Piston model provides the feeling of a true muscle Mustang.
Rotor Clearance
American Muscle's new race-inspired GT4 wheels feature enhanced interior clearance for larger brake caliper and rotor kits that require larger aftermarket rims. Available in Hypercoated (shown), black, or chrome, the wheels measure 18x9 for '94-'04 Mustangs.
The Stalker
If you're looking to dress up the exterior of your Fox-body Mustang, check out the Stalker kits from Cervini's Auto Design. Available for '87-'93, '94-'98, and '99-'04 Mustangs, the Stalker body components add a muscular appearance to any Fox-body Mustang. Components are available separately, but to get the full effect, bolt on the complete Stalker kit-the 7-piece for '79-'93 or the 10-piece for '94-'04. Major components include the hood, front bumper, side skirts, rear bumpers, and rear wing.
High-Flow 4.6 Pumps
Inspired by top 4.6L engine- builder Sean Hyland, the new EMP Stewart Components water pump fills an industry void for a 4.6L high-performance pump. Perfect as a cost-effective replacement upgrade, the pump is available in long and short versions to fit the Two- and Four-Valve engines. There are two options: PN STE50046L for '96-to-mid-'01 Mustangs and PN STE50046S for mid-'01-to-'04 Mustangs. The pumps work with either stock or aftermarket underdrive pulleys and come with a stainless steel impeller, heavy-duty bearing, and carbon-graphite seal. The EMP Stewart Components' water pumps are available from companies such as Steeda Autosports, Mustangs Unlimited, and Summit Racing.
Cam Gears
Fidanza has expanded its product offering for the Mustang GT with adjustable, lightweight, aluminum cam gears. Available for the 4.6L, the cam gears are constructed from 6061-T6 billet aluminum for increased horsepower and fine-tuned cam timing, offering 12 degrees of CNC-etched adjustments in each direction (advance and retard) for street and racing enthusiasts. They're unique because the inner gear is held to the outer by tightening stainless steel nuts to stainless steel screws, not by threading into aluminum. This allows the user to put more torque onto the fasteners, creating a solid construction able to withstand high-performance conditions.
For more than 80 years, water-methanol injection has been proven to add power to everything from the P51 Mustang fighter to diesel land-speed record holders. For naturally aspirated '79-'04 Mustangs, Snow Performance's high-pressure/ high-volume injection system allows for maximized torque and safe power by adding octane rating and intake charge air cooling in gasoline engines. The new Stage-2 Boost Cooler water/ methanol injection system uses a digital variable controller that varies the quantity injected with vacuum and rpm. The kit allows for full timing with pump gas for race-gas power all the time. Because the correct amount is injected at all rpm states, power and driveability is improved over the typical on/off systems. The kit comes with everything needed for installation, including a high-pressure/high-volume pump and specially designed nozzles to atomize the mixture.
Lowering Low-Down
Lowering springs are one of the most popular modifications for Fox-body Mustangs. Not only does it enhance appearance, it provides the added benefit of improved handling, especially in conjunction with performance struts and shocks. Because lowering changes the suspension geometry beyond the adjustment capabilities of the factory strut plates, a recommended modification for lowered '79-'04 Mustangs is caster/camber plates, as offered by Steeda Autosports. Available in several different configurations, the plates provide additional adjustment to allow proper front-tire alignment for increased tire wear and handling.
Wheel and Tire Kits
One of the quickest and easiest mods for adding killer looks to '79-'04 Mustangs is bolting on a new set of wheels and tires. Latemodel Restoration Supply has taken the hassle out of finding the right wheels and tires by offering kits that include the whole setup-mounted, balanced, and ready to bolt on. A number of wheel styles are available with optional add-ons such as chrome, locking lug nuts. A road-hazard warranty is also offered.
Shifty Business
Performance Automatic now offers three new manual shift levers for Ford automatic transmissions, including two for Fox-body Mustangs. Difficult to obtain and out of production from Ford, the levers are now available for common applications, including '94-'04 Mustangs with the AODE/4R70W transmission. The lever, PN PA4594, is an exact reproduction of the factory piece. A second lever, PA5380, fits AOD-equipped '80-'93 Fox-body Mustangs and can be used to retrofit an AOD transmission into an early model. With PA2665, Performance Automatic has reproduced the shift lever for the '65-'69 Mustangs.
Fox Five-Lugs
Stainless Steel Brakes Corporation has released a kit to convert '87-'93 Mustang front and rear brakes from four-lug to the more durable five-lug setup with the popular 5x4-1/2-inch bolt pattern. Included are all the parts needed for the rear-drum-to-disc-brake conversion, complete with new five-lug rear axles. The front rotor/hub assemblies are designed to slide onto the stock spindles without modification. The complete kit includes 11-inch front five-lug rotors, 10-1/2-inch rear five-lug rotors, rear pads, a dual-bowl master cylinder, an adjustable proportioning valve, rear caliper mounting brackets, rear five-lug axle shafts, and all the necessary hardware.
Carbon Fiber Taillights
Now owners of '94-'98 Mustangs can upgrade their rear panels with the new three-light carbon-fiber taillights from American Muscle. The high-quality taillights are direct replacements for the factory version, giving the SN-95s a more modern look. Sold in pairs, they retail for $139.99.
Wheel Spacers
Lethal Performance's Hubcentric wheel spacers and extended lug-nut kit was designed for running wider tires and wheels on '99-and-later IRS-equipped Mustangs. Typically, larger wheel and tire sizes don't have enough clearance from the subframe bolt, leading to dangerous rubbing. With billet-aluminum spacers, the wheel and tire have enough clearance and a more aggressive stance. The kit, available for $75, includes a pair of wheel spacers and 10 extended lug nuts.
Get a Grip
For racy good looks with the added benefit of grip, dress up your Fox-body's pedals with billet-aluminum covers from Brothers Performance. Easy to install in 10 minutes, they brighten the floor and prevent slippage, especially when the bottom of your shoes are wet.
Replica Intake
For increased horsepower, the '93 Mustang Cobra used a special intake manifold that became a popular upgrade for '87-'93 5.0 Mustang owners. A replica version is now available from Ford Racing. Offered in a standard finish (PN M-9424-Z51) or polished (PN M-9424-Z51P), the two-piece Cobra intake flows enough air for engines up to 350hp.
Stout K-Member
UPR's chrome-moly K-member and A-arm for '79-'04 Mustangs provide greater strength and weight savings compared to mild steel competitors. Fully TIG-welded, each unit is powdercoated in silver for a show-car look while offering maximum corrosion protection. The unique under-frame design allows maximum header and oil-pan clearance while retaining factory wheel and engine locations. A coilover kit utilizes an exclusive setscrew design to maintain settings. Premium Eibach springs are included.
In the Clutch
Fidanza clutches are available in four different levels of performance, from mild to wild, for '83-'04 Mustangs. They come with everything needed for installation, including the pressure plate, disc, throwout bearing, and pilot tool. Best of all, there's only one part number to reference per kit, making selection a quick and easy process. Performance clutches are available for the '86-'95 5.0L, '96-'98 4.6L Cobra, '99-'04 4.6L Cobra, '96-'04 4.6L GT, '01-'02 4.6L GT Bullitt, and '03-'04 4.6L Mach I. Separate kits are available for vehicles with the 26-spline TKO transmission.
Tri-Ax Shifter
Steeda reinvented the short-throw shifter when the Tri-Ax shifter was developed for the early Fox-body 5.0Ls. Now versions of it are available for all production Mustang five-speeds, as well as the upgraded Tremec 3550 and TKO. Tri-Ax benefits include a precisely calibrated spring tension that finds Third gear for you, two-position adjustable height, an exclusive BootGuard to prevent damage to the factory rubber boot, adjustable positive stops, and CNC-machined billet construction. A Tri-Ax shifter handle and hardware are included.
Economy Headlights
Now you can get rid of those dull, foggy, or yellowed headlight lenses with Latemodel Restoration Supply's reproduction six-piece headlight kit for '87-'93 Mustangs. Available with factory-style amber or clear sidemarkers, the headlights are made for a long-lasting finish, unlike the originals. At $79.95 per kit, you can't go wrong.
Seat Delete
The Mustang rear-seat delete kits from K Dezines Audio are designed to allow removal of the rear seat while keeping a clean, custom look. Available for '79-'86 hatchbacks, '87-'93 hatchbacks and coupes, and '94-'04 coupes, the kits are designed with removable doors that allow access to the space created by removing the rear seat. The kits are constructed of either 1/2- or 1/4-inch MDF board and are covered in your color choice of carpet. Kits can be special-ordered to fit specific needs. Also available are stereo enclosures that fit the rear-seat delete kits. They fit a 10-inch subwoofer and amplifier, two 10-inch subwoofers, or two 12-inch subwoofers.
Bolt-In 9-inch
Master Power now offers a complete 9-inch Ford rearend assembly with disc brakes for '79-and-later Fox-body Mustangs. Available with standard and nodular cases, they include stock suspension brackets, a limited-slip differential, 31-spline axles, a big-bearing nodular pinion support, a yoke, and a choice of 3.50, 3.60, 3.70, 3.89, or 4.10 gears. Drilled and slotted rotors are optional.
High-Capacity Pans
Canton Racing Products was the originator of high-performance and conversion oil pans for '79-and-up Mustangs. Today, Canton's competition and high-capacity oil pans are used on Ford Racing and Roush Performance crate engines. Available for 302, 351W, 351C, FE, 460, and 4.6/5.4L applications, the Canton oil pans are available in aluminum and steel, and with or without power pouches and main supports. Multi-baffles are also available for road-race applications.
Clutch for the Extreme
SPEC Clutches and Flywheels has introduced the Super Twin clutch setup for street and track use in '03-'04 Cobras and Mach 1s with extreme horsepower and torque. It has set a new standard in near-stock driveability, tremendous life expectancy, a no-shimming setup, bolt-in installation, and maintenance-free operation. With all-billet construction, the units are smooth and quiet. Friction is provided by dampened, full-faced, carbon-graphite discs. Organic or full-metallic options are available.
Two-Valve Plenum
C&L Performance's 4.6L upper intake plenum was the first available for '96-'04 GT Mustangs. It still makes gains of 8-12 hp. Designed, developed, and made in the U.S., it's best used with a 75mm throttle body. Prices start at $119 for the standard cast finish. Super-chrome or charcoal finishes are also available.
Cherry Bomb
Since 1968, the Cherry Bomb glasspack muffler has been easily recognized by its bright red color and throaty performance sound. Now it's available for most car applications, including Fox-body and all other Mustangs. Insulated with high-temperature fiberglass to absorb high-frequency sounds, the Glasspack's reversible, straight-through design allows for the classic glasspack sound and reduces back pressure to maximize horsepower. Its round, linear shape creates a universal fit, making installation a breeze. The Cherry Bomb Glasspack is made of 100-percent-welded, aluminized steel and is finished in a high-temperature-resistant, red finish for long-lasting construction.
Mach 1 Intake
C&L Performance's '03-'04 Mach 1 intake assembly is the only aftermarket intake that replaces every component from the throttle body forward, including the mass airflow unit. Mach 1 owners can expect an average gain of 11 hp with a maximum improvement of 14-17 hp and 22 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. The system retains the function of the original factory Shaker-hoodscoop assembly.
Pro-Action Heads
It's a fact: Factory configuration small-block Ford engines are limited by cylinder head airflow efficiency. Racing Head Service (RHS) has changed all that with the introduction of the new Pro Action Windsor and 5.0L cylinder heads, available in either aluminum or cast iron. Compatible with all original equipment and aftermarket performance parts, the Pro Action cylinder heads offer several unique features, such as high-volume exhaust ports, a dual-bolt pattern, and superior port-to-chamber transitions. Available in 180cc, 200cc, and 215cc intake runner volumes, the heads use 2.020-inch and 2.080-inch diameter intake valve sizes, dependent on runner volume. Exhaust valves are 1.600 inches in diameter.
3G Alternator
PA Performance has improved the already-popular 3G alternator. Initially available in 95-, 130-, and 200-amp ratings, the new design provides a massive 60 amps at idle (120 amps max), 80 amps at idle (170 amps max), and 100 amps at idle (200 amps max), respectively. Applications and upgrades are available for all Mustangs, including Fox-bodies and SVOs. Available finishes include chrome, polished, and powdercoated color. The PA Performance alternators are sold in easy-to-install kits and are available directly from PA Performance or through participating dealers.
Freedom Heads
The new Freedom Series small-block Ford aluminum heads from Patriot Perfor-mance are custom-engineered with 185cc intake runners to flow 260 cfm. Available from $895 per pair, the heads come assembled with 2.02-inch intake and 1.60-inch exhaust valves, 3/8-inch studs, guide plates, and hydraulic roller springs.
Cobra Intake
C&L Performance's air intake assembly for '03-'04 Cobra Mustangs is the highest-flowing intake available for supercharged cars, meaning it will support more power. At 1,137 cfm, this intake is the only aftermarket system for the Cobra that replaces every component from the throttle body forward. The system also extends the usable horse-power range from the stock mass airflow unit's 485 hp all the way up to 535 hp. Gains of more than 23 hp are typical on completely stock vehicles.
Detail CorraL
Classic Design Concepts has taken the unfinished, unattractive, inner decklid of the '05-'07 Mustang to a completed state with the new Detail Corral. Not only does it add visual appeal to the trunk, it also provides storage capabilities for first aid and cleaning supplies, CDC's mini duster, and other lightweight items. Installation is a breeze with basic handtools, and no drilling is required. OE materials provide a factory appearance and fit.
Magnetic Panel
The heritage-style blackout panel from Latemodel Restoration Supply covers the rear decklid between the taillights to give your '05-'07 Mustang a great classic look. Available for $39.95, magnetic backing allows for a quick-and-easy installation; the hole for the rear emblem is precut.
Variable Shifter
In addition to possessing the same patented features as MGW's earlier short-throw shifters-such as adjustable handle and sound dampening centershaft design-the company's new shifter for '05-'07 Mustangs has a variable shift throw so drivers can fine-tune to their personal preference. The patent-pending feature allows the driver to adjust the throw from just shorter than stock to almost a 50-percent reduction. Utilizing state-of-the-art materials and design components, the shifter has been engineered to offer short throw and ease of shifting for all gears. Other features include sound- and thermal-deflection technology to maintain original OEM sound levels, and a strong lateral spring load to eliminate Third gear lockout. An installation video is included.
Brake Cooling
Quantum Motorsports has announced the addition of '05-'07 brake cooling kits to the current line of Mustang kits. As with the company's kits for '94-'04 Mustangs, they're offered in street and race versions. They're an easy bolt-on modification and feature 6061-T6 TIG-welded aluminum ducts designed to direct cooling air to the center of the rotor, a unique flexible hose with an external wire to stand up to the rigors of racing and street duty, and all the necessary mounting hardware. Quantum also offers front-bumper air inlets.
The Ford Sound
Directly from Ford Racing comes the Mustang GT exhaust kit, which includes a pair of high-flow mufflers with 3.5-inch exhaust tips. Made from T-304 stainless, they provide a proven increase in horsepower and torque along with a louder, throatier exhaust note. The polished tips are embossed with "Ford Racing."
Eleanor Style
Cervini's Auto Designs has always been quick to introduce new body-kit components for the Mustang, and the '05-'07 GT presents more of the same aesthetic opportunities. This time around, the company is going for the Eleanor look with replacement front and rear bumper covers, hood, side skirts, and sidescoops. All pieces are made from urethane except the hood.
Shelby Wheels
The Carroll Shelby Wheel Company has introduced four classic-style wheels for '05-'07 Mustangs. Manufactured to meet or exceed OEM requirements, the custom alloy wheels are available in several sizes-from 18 to 20 inches-and finishes, including chrome, gloss black, Hyper Silver, and others.
Performance Packs
If you remember the staged performance packages from Ford's old Muscle Parts program, Ford Racing's Performance Packs for '05-'07 Mustangs will seem eerily familiar. Ford Racing has brought the concept back with its new Performance Packs program. Although not as comprehensive as the old Muscle Parts packages-after all, the new Mustang provides a lot more performance to begin with-the modern kits add horsepower and handling.
Power Pack
The entry-level kit is the Power Pack (PN M-2005-FR1). Designed for '05-'07 Mustang GT owners who want more power while maintaining mild street manners, the package includes a 90mm cold-air kit with a flash tuner, performance mufflers, and a performance oil filter. Ford Racing estimates a 20hp improvement over stock on a five-speed, but you'll have to use premium fuel after recalibrating the computer with the supplied Pro-Cal flash tuner. The tuner comes loaded with the correct calibration for the engine mods.
Drag Pack
The name may sound familiar to Mustangers from the '60s, but Ford Racing's new Drag Pack (PN M-2005-FR2) is more than bigger gears and an oil cooler. The modern Drag Pack comes with the 90mm cold-air kit and oil filter from the Power Pack, then adds 4.10:1 rear gears with an installation kit, shorty headers, and a short-throw shifter. Ford Racing doesn't provide horsepower estimates for the Drag Pack. Instead, with the gears and quicker shifter, expect to shave a half-second off the quarter-mile e.t. with a five-speed GT.
Handling Pack
Handling upgrades weren't available from the old Muscle Parts catalogs. With today's emphasis on better road manners, Ford Racing's Handling Pack (PN M-2005-FR3) provides better cornering and a lowered stance. Designed to work with and complement the performance increases from the Power Pack and Drag Pack kits, the Handling Pack includes uniquely tuned dampers, lowering springs (approximately 1-1/2 inches), front and rear sway bars, and a strut-tower brace.
LiveWire Tuning
New from SCT is LiveWire, a preprogrammed and custom-tunable PCM flash tuner that arrives loaded with three different dyno-proven custom performance tunes and one fuel-economy tune. It also offers advanced datalogging and instrumentation of more than 15 vehicle parameters. With LiveWire, DTC trouble codes can be read and cleared, affording the largest number of features ever to be offered in a custom or preprogrammed tuning device.
Long-Tube Headers
BBK has released its new full-length performance headers for '05-'07 Mustang GTs. Featuring 151/48-inch mandrel-bent tubing, 3/16-inch laser-cut flanges, and OEM-quality components, the headers are built to last. A quick bolt-on with the use of BBK's matching 2-3/4-inch high-flow crossover pipes, the headers provide a 14-20-rwhp increase on stock GTs and even more with other bolt-ons.
Subframe Connectors
Subframe connectors are the foundation of BMR's '05-'07 Mustang chassis upgrades, connecting the unibody-front and rear-subframe assemblies to form a full frame for increased chassis rigidity. Essential for anyone who wants to get the most out of future suspension modifications for cornering and straight-line acceleration, the BMR subframes are offered in two models: heavy-duty boxed connectors made of 1-1/2x2-inch main tubes and 3/16-inch-thick laser-cut weld plates, and tubular connectors built from 1-3/4-inch DOM tubing with 3/16-inch laser-cut mounting plates. Both tie the rear control arm mounts and front subframes together, but the heavy-duty boxed connectors go further by triangulating key structural points for an extremely rigid frame. They both weld to the attachment points but don't require the carpet to be removed.
Roush Suspension
A well-engineered suspension can shave seconds off time at the track and improve handling. One of the best ways to optimize handling is to install a complete suspension kit such as the one from Roush Performance. It includes handling springs, performance struts and shocks, and front and rear sway bars, all engineered to work together to make your '05-'07 Mustang GT one of the best-handling cars on the road. The components are also available separately.
Shelby-Style Lights
With Street Scene Equipment's new center dual-light grille shell (PN 950-74590), '05-'07 GTs can take on the look of the '67 Shelbys. Made from durable injection-molded plastic, it moves the driving lights from the outside of the grille to the center. The shell comes with everything needed for installation: a wiring harness, two lights, and all the hardware. Factory mounting locations are used, so no cutting or fabrication is required.
DuckTail Spoiler
Classic Design Concept's three-piece Ducktail spoiler for the '05-'07 Mustang is made from lightweight, blow-molded ABS and requires no trunk-strut adjustments. Offered with or without the Mustang logo, the spoiler is available unpainted or in all factory colors. To meet vintage design goals, CDC engineered the spoiler without the LED light. For customers who wish to have it, the company created a system that mounts inside the rear window and doesn't intrude on the design of the spoiler. It hard-mounts to the vehicle with bolts and/or acrylic bonding tape. Installation works best on cars ordered without the factory rear spoiler, but for Mustangs with the spoiler, CDC offers an optional stock-spoiler hole-delete kit, eliminating the need to repaint the trunk.
Wild Lights
Now you can dress up your '05-'07 Mustang with affordable projector headlights and LED taillights from Dallas Mustang. The headlights are available in chrome or black; the taillights are offered in chrome, smoked, and red/clear. They're also available for '99-'04 Mustangs.
Comp Wing
Standing tall at full race height, Steeda's Competition Wing (PN 307-0009, shown above on Steeda's Screamin' Yellow Q) gets into the air stream and creates significant down-force to enhance handling and traction. It's available with Steeda Billet Winglets, sold separately.
Swarr Stick
The patent-pending Swarr Stick shifter from Swarr Automotive is designed to fit the Tremec TKO 500-600 and T56 six-speed transmissions in '05-'07 Mustangs. Providing zero slop for more accurate and faster shifts, the Swarr Stick is great for the street and hardcore racers. Made from billet aluminum and chrome-moly, it doesn't attach to the body. The kit includes a transmission, a shifter, a crossmember, a one-piece driveshaft, a front and rear yoke, a polyurethane transmission mount, a bellhousing (for TKO), a new hydraulic bearing, and a special fitting to adapt the factory lines so the stock master cylinder can be used.
Retro Magnum
If you're looking to add to the retro look of an '05-'07 Mustang, Wheel Replicas offers the 469 Magnum. It replicates the appearance of the Magnum 500 wheels used on vintage Mustangs. Unlike the originals, the Wheel Replica version is available in modern sizes: 18x9, 18x10, 20x8-1/2, and 20x10. All the Wheel Replica wheels utilize the latest in casting and finishing technology and are available in many finishes.
Cool Valve Covers
For the first time in years, the Mustang GT comes with highly visible valve covers. Unfor-tunately, they're an ugly, dull, discolored gray. Fortunately, Ford Racing takes care of the problem with new valve covers for the Three-Valve 4.6 powerplant. Available in powdercoated chrome-look, blue, black wrinkle, and silver, the new covers are a direct replacement for the factory ones, and are available at any Ford Racing dealer.
CNC Three-Valve Heads
For improved airflow and more horsepower, Livernois Motorsports offers CNC-machined Three-Valve heads with oversize valves. Fully assembled but without camshafts, the heads flow 300 cfm on the intake and 215 cfm on the exhaust. The stainless valves are 1 mm larger than stock, and the heads come with new valve seals, retainers, locks, and Livernois' exclusive single-coil valvesprings.
Retro Mirrors
Agent 47 has answered the call for aesthetically pleasing mirrors to complement the S197 Mustang's retro styling. Available with a suggested retail price of $395, the mirrors are designed for factory mounting points and electric motors, so installation is a snap.
Past Meets Present
Temple Performance Cars' Legend body package adds retro styling to the '05-'07 Mustang's cutting-edge late-model performance. Available in Legend X (supercharged), Series 1 (also supercharged), or Series 2 (naturally aspirated) models, all incorporate the Legend body package, Carroll Shelby wheels with BFG tires, performance springs, exhaust modifications, billet interior accents, and painted stripes. Each comes with its own serial number and body identification tag. The Legend body kit's individual parts are also available.
Vortech Supercharger
Vortech has introduced a new high-output supercharging system for the '07 GT. The addition of the V-2 SQ S-Trim supercharger increases horsepower from 300 to 462 and torque from 320 lb/ft to 419 lb/ft, estimated at the flywheel at 10-psi boost. For '07, a larger capacity cooler is included for improved performance. All components needed to bolt the system to a stock vehicle are included: mounting brackets, fuel system upgrades, DiabloSport handheld programmer, supercharger oil feed and drain, compressor bypass valve, and all required fasteners.
Camber Adjusters
For more camber adjustability, Steeda offers billet camber adjusters (PN 555-8096). The CNC-machined adjusters mount directly to the struts and come supplied with a variety of hardened steel inserts for up to a full 3 degrees of camber adjustment.
Yipes, Stripes!
Ford Racing's stripe kits add a racy look to '05-'06 Mustangs. A pair of 10-inch-wide over-the-body stripes and vintage-look lower body stripes, with or without "Ford Racing" lettering are included in the kit. The stripes are available in blue, black, or silver.

Paxton Supercharger
Paxton has released a new supercharging system for the '07 Mustang GT that increases horsepower from 300 to 470 and torque from 320 lb/ft to 420 lb/ft, estimated at the flywheel at 10-psi boost. This system uses the NOVI 2200 centrifugal gear-driven compressor mated with an integrated air-to-air charge cooling. All components needed to bolt the system to a stock vehicle are included, such as mounting brackets, fuel system upgrades, a DiabloSport handheld programmer, supercharger oil feed and drain, a compressor bypass valve, and all the required fasteners.
ZVT Clutch
Zoom Performance Products has taken the centrifugal pressure plate to a new level with the introduction of the Zoom Variable Torque (ZVT) clutch for Mod Motor Mustangs. Originally designed to handle the torque loads of diesel engines, the patented ZVT is a true centrifugal pressure-plate system that achieves more than 700 pounds of clamp load while maintaining a stock pedal feel. A ZVT clutch cover combined with an organic disc achieves torque-handling gains of more than 300 lb-ft over comparable high-performance covers.
Underhood Dress-Up
Midwest Auto Gear has introduced four new items to its line of underhood dress-up parts for '05-'07 Mustangs. Shock-tower covers complete the strut towers by covering the nuts and top of the strut. Fuel-rail covers complement Midwest's already-available intake-plenum cover and hide the fuel rails, injectors, spark plugs, and coils. Radiator-cover extensions cover the fenders and give a more finished appearance. A fuse-box cover adds a splash of body color to the all-black molded fuse box. The parts are painted in basecoat/clearcoat and are available in all '05-'07 Mustang colors.
Covered Plenum
Ford's first photos of the new Mustang's Three-Valve 4.6L engine showed a nifty aluminum-look cover on top of the intake plenum. When the first cars hit the showrooms, the covers were nowhere to be found, apparently cut to save weight and money. Midwest Auto Gear was among the first to capitalize on Ford's last-minute change. Midwest's engine plenum cover adds a high-performance look to the '05-'07 Mustang GT's engine compartment. Made from fiberglass-reinforced Hylon Nylon 6, the covers won't bend or warp from engine heat. Four standard options include silver or black finishes, with or without the GT logo. For an additional cost, covers can be ordered to match exterior paint colors.
150hp Bolt-On
The latest Mustang can benefit from cutting-edge N2O technology with the all-new '05-'07 Mustang EFI wet system from Nitrous Pro-Flow. The adjustable 25-150hp system is engineered as a bolt-on, so installation can be accomplished in an afternoon with basic handtools. It includes everything needed for turnkey performance, including braided lines, solenoids, a programmable TPS activation system, a V-Force 2 injection nozzle, brackets, and a lightweight tank. The injection nozzle was designed for injected applications to maximize atomization and N2O distribution for power and reliability. The activation system uses the Mustang's throttle-position sensor to activate the nitrous shot at wide-open throttle only, protecting engine internals and increasing consistency.
Two-Tone Lightbar
Taking the traditional lightbar to new and improved heights, Mustang Racing Technolo-gies' (MRT) new two-tone lightbar is the missing style link for all '99-'07 convertible Mustangs. Adding a full range of secondary color options allows buyers to personalize their droptop in a way never before possible. Constructed with 1-1/4-inch, steel, round tube with heavy-duty, 1/8-inch wall thickness, the MRT two-tone lightbar is built to last. The company incorporates only the finest materials into its colored wraps.
Cobra Scoop
New from Mustang Depot is the '05-'07 Mustang fiberglass hood with a Cobra roadster-style hoodscoop. It's fully functional for ram-air. Mustang Depot also offers 12 other hood styles for S197s.
The newest functional hood from Suncoast Automotive is designed for the '05-'07 Mustang. A true ram-air hood, the forward-placed scoops channel air through a sealed path to the intake system for a cooler, denser charge to increase horsepower. Built in the U.S. from a composite of steel, fiberglass, and structural polymers, the Suncoast hoods are designed for simple bolt-in installation.
High-Flow H-Pipe
Mustang Racing Technologies' (MRT) H-pipe for the '05-to-current Mustang GT is made in America with high-quality 304 stainless steel and the highest-quality, best-performing catalytic converters in the industry. Easy to install with all hardware and instructions included, the MRT H-pipe will add 10 to 20 hp and a deep, throaty musclecar exhaust note.

It was my most favorite fantasy to have sex with a lady who is intelligent, highly educated, matured, and intellectual too. Because Most of the highly educated, intelligent woman spend more time on studies rather than on entertainment of life. Especially they ignore concentration on their sex life. It is a very common phenomenon. These ladies, when reaches their middle age, becomes excellent sex partners. Their ungratified hunger for sex drives them wild.
My sister divorced two years back. Being the head mistress of a famous girls school, didi was quite famous. She is a respectable lady in the town. My Father was a famous schoolteacher, poet, painter, and sculptor. Our family was quite famous. My didi has a black complexion and she looks beautiful because of her wit and personality.
I was in 10th standard that time. I used to watch lots of porno movies on television. It was my favorite pass time. I used to like to see screwing of a sexy woman, well, specially a black woman. The scene of a fair man's dick, fucking the black hole of a lady was something I loved to see. My parents used to sleep together and I had my own room. One night, I woke at nearly at 1.30 to drink water. My parents' room was adjacent to my room, separated by a common door. I heard a noise from their room. I thought papa must be doing some sculpture work. I was going back to my bed, suddenly I heard a scream. I was tensed. I opened the common door carefully to see if anything is wrong there. As looked at my parents' bed, I was shocked. I saw that didi was on her four, completely naked and father was driving his dick fast into my didi's cunt. I was very excited and got an instant hard on. My father's dick was big and fair and didi was a black woman, possessing a black cunt. The scene of a fair dick entering and leaving a black pussy escalated me to the maximum excitement. I was observing the dream sex scene of life in reality.
I just went back to my bed for a much needed masturbation. For next few days I could not be easy with my parents. Whenever I tried to interact with them, I could visualize them making love. After sometime things became normal.
The incident took place almost 2 years back. My father has died and my didi stays with us. She is 28 now.
I am watching TV. Didi was taking shower and now she is in her room as I heard her coughing. I proceeded to our kitchen to make a cup of tea. While passing my didi's room I saw the door was slightly open. I threw a casual look at the room and I got a shock to see something. My didi was standing naked massaging cosmetic moisturizer all over her body. She was looking stunningly beautiful. She was bit fat. Her breasts were huge and round. Her hips were very big and provoking. Her blackbody was shining because of the moisturizer she applied. I stood there spell bound. My god, what a scene I am watching. I am watching a tribal love goddess perhaps. Suddenly didi bend forward to apply the cream on her knees and I got an unobstructed view of her cunt lips. Didi's name is Kalpona. Which means imagination. I thought how appropriate the name is as she has created wild imaginations in her own son's mind.
The next morning, I woke up bit early. While going to toilet, I heard the sound of television from my didi's room. I could not check my curiosity to peep into her room. I was right. She was watching a blue film and she was masturbating putting 2 fingers in her cunt.
After 3 hours when, didi left for her school, I entered her room. I found many porno magazines in her cupboard. My god, I never imagined about this side of my sister. Who would believe that Mrs. Kalpona Biswas, head mistress of a renowned school, is hungry for sex like anything at the age of 28? Today's event reminded me the scene I have seen 2 years back. The scene ignited my lust for my didi, which was remaining suppressed for years. Then I realized that, I am dying to sleep with my didi. I know it is not possible and it is sin too. Having sex with own mother is the nastiest thing in our society. I was bit upset.
That night, I was trying to behave normal with didi but I could not. Didi also observed that. She asked, " What is wrong beta? Why are you looking upset?"
I smiled and said, " Nothing". Then I started to discuss about the latest novel of one of the famous writers with her.
She had a vast knowledge about literature. After sometime we proceeded to our respective bedrooms. After half an hour, I again hard a moaning sound form my mother's room. I was sure that she was watching a porno film. I understood that it is in her daily routine to watch porno films and masturbate twice. I felt sorry for didi as she was missing an exciting sex life with dad. Perhaps the married life of my wife and me also has created some impulses on her loneliness. It was 1.30 then I was still awake as it was difficult for me to sleep. Her sexy body had occupied the entire span of my thought. My wife was not with me, and sexy didi was watching porno at the next room. It was too much to bear.
I woke up from the bed to have a glass of chilled water. While moving to the fridge, I saw my mother's bedroom door was open but lights were switched of. She was snoring. I was sure that she was sleeping. Immediately I planned to go for a bold adventure. I entered her room silently and moved close to her bed. Though the lights were off, the room was not completely dark as streetlights were coming into it. I saw she was sleeping deeply. She was facing her back towards me. Suddenly I realized something and was surprised to the maximum. To be sure I found a torch from her table, switched it on and focused on my sleeping didi. My god, I was right. She had no clothes on her body. It was very exciting. I heard of few women's liking to sleep completely naked, and my didi was such a lady. I stood stunned there. I roamed the torch light trough her back. Then I focused the light, especially on her butt. Her cunt was partially visible and I saw strains of her cum on her ass chicks. It was irresistible for me and I was mad to feel her body.
I moved towards the bed. Her big buttocks were protruding towards me. I knelt down and planted a soft kiss on her right ass. She was steel snoring. Then I softly touched her butts with right hand and pressed it a bit. She was still snoring. Then I started to rub her butts with my palm. She did not respond. I knew that she takes sleeping pills every night. That's why she was in such deep sleep. I felt bit bolder and lowered my face and licked her smooth butts. Then she stopped snoring. I was cautious as I guessed she is waking up. She then turned her body and she was lying flat on the bed. Her big breasts were completely exposed to me. I waited for a while and she started snoring again. I stood up and moved forward. I sat on the bed carefully and touched the nipple of her right boob. It was hard. Then I started to massage her boobs gently. I saw that she has stopped snoring but she was still asleep. Then I lowered my face and lick her hard nipple softly. I was afraid that she might be awaking but she did not. Instead I heard her moan softly. This gave me more confidence and started to suck her boobs gently. I was feeling great playing with her boobs and it was so satisfactory that I almost was not in my sense. Suddenly I came to my senses. I lifted my face and looked at her face. It was a great shock to me as I saw didi staring at me. I was caught red handed committing incest to my mother. I was feeling like running out of the room but was not able to. I felt week to my stomach. I had no guts to look at her eyes that time. I got down from the bed watched her to switch on the light. Keeping my head down I said sorry and I was expecting a hateful cursing from her. But I was slightly wrong. She told me to look up and I did so. Then she asked, " What was that son, why did you do that?" Her voice was serious. I replied in shaking voice, " I am extremely sorry to say that your body makes me mad. I feel a lust for you". She said, "When did you start to feel this about me?" I confessed that one day I saw my father fucking him long back. Then today I saw her without a single clothe and caught her masturbating. She said, " Do you know it is a sin." I said yes and I am sorry for that. But there was no option as I lost control on myself. I told her that I miss lovemaking with my better half, as she is not in the town.
Then she stood up and came closer to me and put her hand on my head. She told, " Look, I understand your problem. Frankly speaking, I also miss having sex with your father. Do not feel bad. Both of us share the same need and urge. Being a mother, I should take care of your problems and being a son you must take care of me. Do you still find me attractive enough to give you an instant hard on?" I said, yes. She added, " Then do not waste time. Come and taste your old didi. Fulfill your fantasy and need. Do whatever you want to do with me." I was surprised to hear these from her. I could not believe my luck. The lady, whom I lusted for, was giving me a straight offer to sleep with her and she is my didi.
I looked at her and saw her smiling positively. I did not waste a second and moved towards her. I pulled her closer and started to kiss her lips. It was amazing. Her lips were juicy and I was sucking them passionately. Then I moved my hands down and squeezed her left ass. She moaned in pleasure. I kissed her for 5 minutes. Then I started to fondle her breast. She closed her eyes in satisfaction. The breasts were really big. I started sucking them madly. It was a great experience to me. I was sucking the same boobs, which fed me one day and prompted me to lust for my mother. Her breasts were bigger and fleshier than my wife's. After a while, I told her to knelt down and close her eyes. She did so. Then I told didi to open her mouth and keep her eyes closed until I told to open. She obeyed me like a good girl. I saw my mother kneeling down in front of me opening her mouth. I immediately inserted my long hard dick in her mouth. She opened her eyes in surprise. Then immediately she started to suck it with pleasure and affection. I was feeling the greatest joy of my life. I was having the same lips around my fat dick, which has given me affectionate kisses on my forehead to encourage me in childhood. Didi was an expert in giving blowjob. She continued it for 5 minutes. Then I told her to stand up and get laid on the bed flat.
As she did so, I went there and asked her to stretch her leg. As she stretched her leg, her sweet pussy lips were visible to me. I was surprised to see that she had a cleanly shaved pussy and the pussy lips were glistening with her sweat. I knelt down and inserted my tongue into her love hole. She gasped. I started to move my tongue here and there inside her pussy and chewed her pussy lips softly. She was moaning heavily. Then I told her to move and give me space to lie down. I lied down on the bed and told her to ride me facing her ass towards my dick. She did so. Then I asked her to help me. She efficiently took her hand back and guided my dick to her cunt lifting her butts. I started fucking her. Perhaps this was the event I have waited for 14 years. Her cunt was buttery and soft. I was fucking her heavily. Suddenly one thing came into my mind, I became delighted. I already stated earlier that my best dream is to fuck a black woman. Here I was fucking a sexy, (Perhaps the sexiest) black woman and the woman is my didi Kalpona whom I have lusted for. I am fucking her cunt on the same bed, my father used to fuck her hard. I am ravaging the same vagina, which brought me to this world. This was a new experience to me. Didi was making moans heavily. I was in the seventh heaven as I have never imagined that I could fuck my sexy didi one day and she will be moaning for more. I was holding her big butts for support. After a while, I inserted the index finger of left hand into her sweet virgin asshole. She ached back in pleasure. I kept on ramming her cunt while finger-fucking her asshole. I felt her juices on my dick as she orgasm. But I wanted something more.
I told her to be on her four. She did so. I told her, " Is it not the same position, papa loved to fuck you". She laughed, " Yes." I moved back and looked at her. In this position she was looking the hottest. She was on her four exposing her asshole and cunt lips simultaneously. That time I felt really proud to be the son of such sexy bitch who, in this posture can make a dead man's prick erect. I moved forward and started to rub her cunt lips with my hard tool. She was screaming softly and her scream was revealing her urge to get screwed by her own son. I complied with her wish. With one powerful stroke I entered her from back. She let out a loud moan, which made me horny. I started to fuck her faster and faster. She was pushing her hip back to get more pleasure. This is the advantage of screwing an old experience woman. While I was fucking her hard, She told, " Oh, my god, how big your dick is. It reminds me about your father. He used to screw me in this posture only and you are also doing it to me after long time. Please fuck your didi harder and inherit your papa by giving me the best pleasure." Kalpona's words made the maniac.
And I started to push my dick like a bull into her cunt. Doing so, I dick suddenly slipped out from her lubricated cunt and it got rubbed on her ass. Instantly another idea clicked in my mind. I entered my dick into her anus without taking her permission. She cried out loudly and told me, " Hey what are you doing? Don't do that. Don't fuck your mother's ass. I have never been fucked in my ass. Please be merciful." I told her, " Shut up you bitch." Immediately I pulled my dick out and pushed it harder into her rectum. Then I started fucking her ass like anything. Her ass was delicious and I was enjoying fucking it. But Kalpona was crying and shouting in pain. Her cries were making me hornier. The more she was crying, the harder I was fucking her ass. I could not believe this. I was mad at her well-rounded butts. And I was fucking it heavily. I am sure that, when my didi walks down the street, her butts accentuate a lot and young studs gets instant hard on seeing that. Perhaps they also dream to fuck my didi's ass. I was feeling really lucky. I was fucking the ass of Mrs. Kalpona Biswas, who is a head mistress, an educated and intellectual lady, and a respected personality in the town. After my father, I am the only person who was fucking the dignified and sophisticated love holes of Kalpona, my own sweet didi. All my dreams were coming true.
After an intensive ass fucking I flooded her hungry asshole with me sperm. It was a salute to my late father who has also fucked the same canals to quench his lust. Finishing, this I asked didi how did she feel. She said great. Above all the ass fucking session was unforgettable. She did not know that, ass fucking gives that much of pleasure. She thanked me as forcefully fucked her hard in her anus. She told me that, when I was a kid, she used to give oil massage to me, my small cute dick. That time she never imagined that this small dick will grow big one day and will guck her butts tight to give her an ecstatic pleasure. Then I said, " didi you have created this dick and it is its duty to screw your holes as per your demand.
After this incident, didi and me found another avenue of entertainment in our life. Now a day we do it very frequently. My wife has no idea about it. It has become a part of daily schedule to fuck my didi's ass and cunt at mid night after I finish doing that with my wife. If any day I did not find much time to copulate her, I at least finger her asshole to console her. We are enjoying like hell.

David Charvet 'Teaches' Us a Thing or Two About Looking Good — Hunk of the Day
Former Baywatch "babe" (since the women, like Pamela Anderson, weren't the only the only hotties on the show) David Charvet may have a brood of kids at home with his wife Brooke Burke, but his status as a 40-year-old father and husband have not caused him to get lazy about his looks.
The French-born actor/singer shows off a bod that is buff. We can see his taut and toned abs in a myriad of shots on his Facebook page, namely from the 2010 movie 'The Perfect Teacher.'
While Generation X'ers will remember Charvet as clean-cut Matt Brody on 'Baywatch,' he's toured Europe as a singer and appeared on 'Dancing with the Stars' in 2008, as well. He looks a wee bit like Latin dynamo Ricky Martin in the shots in the white tank, doesn't he?
Check out some swoon-worthy shots that should make the mercury rise.

Well over a year ago, this publication detailed an alcohol fuel conversion performed on an experimental six-cylinder Chevrolet pickup truck. Since that time—in the true spirit of research—MOTHER EARTH NEWS has continued her firsthand investigation into both the production and use of the renewable liquid energy form.
Our latest alternative-fueled vehicle is a 1977 Chevy 1/2-ton van equipped with a 250-cubic-inch "six," an automatic transmission, and a "flip-of-the-switch" genuinely efficient dual-fuel system! The modest hauler has racked up over 12,000 trouble-free miles in its gasoline/alcohol configuration, and it serves MOTHER EARTH NEWS' traveling seminar crew as both a workhorse and an eye-opening educational tool ... while also providing an excellent test bed for other automotive research.
Double-Barreled and Drivable
As you might imagine, our twin-fuel system is based upon two carburetors. The van's original Rochester downdraft model was replaced with a pair of sidedraft Carter YH's (an older automotive carb that's now widely used in marine applications) mounted on a homebuilt "Siamese" Y manifold that was fabricated from muffler tubing and flanges. The front "fuel mixer" is relatively unchanged and runs on gasoline, while the rear atomizer has been modified to suit the requirements of ethanol. Both mechanisms are individually controlled by a solenoid-operated selective sliding throttle linkage made from some flat stock and—believe it or not—a 4" door hinge.
Rather than heat the alcohol fuel, as we did on our first test truck, we chose to preheat the air entering the ethanol carburetor (from ambient temperature to 170°F) in order to improve vaporization. We also took advantage of the liquid's high "octane" rating by automatically advancing the timing when burning alcohol, while carefully controlling spark "progression" in the gasoline mode to guarantee "knock-free" performance.
The "Boring" Details
As you might imagine, the latest conversion was a good deal more involved than was that of our original Chevy six, and for two good reasons. Primarily, our goal was to improve both fuel economy and vehicle drivability beyond what we'd achieved in the initial conversion (although both were certainly acceptable for an admittedly experimental vehicle). Consequently, we chose to use the horizontal-style carburetors not only because they offered the convenience of dual-fuel capability, but also because their sidedraft design afforded the least restrictive fuel flow from the float bowl to the "booster" venturi area within the mechanism's throat ... though some of the internal passageways still did need modification. (Conventional downdraft carbs would require reworking, too, but might not perform as well because of their "serpentine" fuel-feed galleries.)
So—armed with flat and needle-nosed pliers, a screwdriver, a wire gauge set, and a complete assortment of drill bits (numbered sizes 1 to 80, plus one 19/64" version)—MOTHER EARTH NEWS' car doctors prepared to perform surgery on the alcohol-carburetor-to-be, after first dismantling the unit and cleaning it thoroughly with solvent. (This preparatory operation included the removal of the press-fit plugs that sealed the factory-drilled fuel passageways from the outside.)
The first step involved enlarging the main jet from .080" to .104", for a total diameter increase of 30%. Then the accelerator pump discharge nozzle diameter was increased by 20%, from .025" to .030". Next—to improve the engine's transition from idle to cruising speeds—the idle transfer slot (part of a circuit that supplies nearly all of the necessary air/fuel mixture during normal driving at speeds below 40 MPH) was expanded from .020" to .059", and two .043" holes were drilled at the "upstream" end of the slot, in line, to further enhance smooth performance during "off idle" operation. Finally, the idle screw passageway leading from the needle's tapered tip to the throttle bore was enlarged—to provide a wider range of adjustment—from .066" to .076", and the float height was raised by 3/16".
At that stage of the conversion, preliminary testing indicated that, although the carburetor was fairly well calibrated according to the exhaust analysis equipment, there was still a slight hesitation in the transition from slow to midrange speeds ... and the higher float level resulted in an occasional fuel "dribble" into the carb throat through the main booster jet outlet.
The second phase of modification, then, included drilling a "sight hole" in the side of the float bowl so that the port's lower edge was about 1/10" below the dripping orifice, plus visually setting the float to eliminate the leakage and tapping the inspection hole so a threaded brass plug could be installed after final adjustments were made. In addition, all the idle circuit passageways within the carburetor were drilled out to .149", and the idle fuel restrictors and other potential problem areas (such as gasket perforations and casting burrs) were altered or removed.
At the same time, the idle fuel jet in the main well was increased in diameter from .024" to .039", and the idle air bleed was enlarged by 62%, to .073". (These alterations were made to increase both the amount and velocity of air/fuel mixture delivered to the engine from idle to 20% of full throttle position.)
Final alterations were as follows: Both the primary and secondary main fuel wells were enlarged to .300" in diameter (these reservoirs hold a supply of fuel "in waiting" between the main jet and the venturi supply tubes, for use the instant the throttle is cracked open ... thus providing the extra-rich fuel mixture to the engine as soon as it's needed), and a main well air bleed was added, by drilling a .025" hole—obliquely—from a point near the top of the secondary main fuel well directly into the carburetor throat and ahead of the booster venturi section of the carburetor. (This passageway—a standard feature on newer carbs—supplies positive air pressure to the fuel wells to insure faster liquid movement and better response.)
Also, a new air/fuel mixture tube was fabricated to replace the original booster distribution jet, which had a restrictive central corridor and did not allow for an air mix. A .128"-inside-diameter brass tube, with the same overall length and outside diameter as the jet, was "slash cut" on one end at an angle of about 10°. Then four .040" holes were cross-drilled approximately 1 inch from this angled outlet end of the pipe. After removing the old jet with a 1/8" drill, the new fuel/air mixing assembly was pressed into place and held fast with a drop of Locktite brand stud mount. Such a combination booster and blending jet serves to atomize the fuel quite effectively.
The "Mixing" Link?
Individual throttle control for each carburetor was accomplished, inexpensively, by adapting a Stanley door hinge—and some spare parts—to do "double duty." Its pin was removed, eventually to be replaced with a similar rod about 2" longer, with a 1/16" hole drilled at one end and a knurled head at the other. Then the three "knuckles" of an extra hinge plate were ground down at their shoulders to allow about 1/4" of lateral play in the component once it was positioned "around" the main hinge.
Next, the triple-knuckled plate from the hinge set was cut into three sections—each having one "loop"—and its two-cylindered mate was permanently fastened to the top of the Y manifold, in an upright position. At this point, three control "arms" were welded onto their respective hinge sections, and holes were drilled through each to accept throttle rods. The linkage was then reassembled, using the long pin as a pivot. (The extra length was added to accommodate the third hinge plate and the spring at one end—held fast with a cotter pin—which lets the whole shebang slide sideways and function without binding.)
Finally, an "anti-dieseling" solenoid from a GM V-8 was installed to automatically move the "master" plate right or left, depending on which carburetor is to be controlled.
Happily, the apparatus functions well in both theory and practice: When the solenoid shaft extends to the left and the accelerator is depressed, the center plate pushes down on the hinge section that activates the alcohol carburetor. At the flip of a switch, the solenoid arm returns to the right—along with the master plate—and the gas carburetor is ready for action.
With this setup, it's not necessary to incorporate individual fuel shut-off valves for the "dormant" carburetor ... the unused mechanism merely rests in its "idle" position—atomizing no fuel—while the other carb functions normally. (This occurs because such a great volume of air is flowing through the in-use device that there's not sufficient "draw" to pull fuel from the inactive one.) In addition, there's a less obvious benefit to this arrangement. When the engine is idling (in either fuel mode), both the carburetors—which, of course, "draft" equally at idle—can be adjusted to provide nearly any "balance" of gasoline/alcohol ratio desired ... a feature that allows the engine to operate very smoothly on low-proof ethanol at idle and starting speeds, thanks to the addition of a small petrol "boost".
One Likes It Hot
Warming the alcohol carburetor's air supply notably improves the carb's ability to vaporize the stubbornly liquid fuel. So MOTHER EARTH NEWS' researchers adapted a heater core and plenum assembly, from a Ford Pinto, to function as an "atmosphere" preheating canister. First, they cut a circular hole in one side of the box, to correspond with the mounting flange of an aftermarket air-cleaner unit. Then the crew riveted a threaded crossbar to the inside surface of the chamber to provide a mount for the rod that holds the filter in place. The "hot box" was finished by fitting and fastening a backing plate to the rear of the container, and ducting a flexible plastic feed tube from this surface to the carburetor intake.
After mounting the device with two aluminum brackets, and "teeing" the new heat exchanger into the van's existing hot water system, a consistent supply of 170-175° air was available at any time after the engine reached operating temperature. (Of course, the original air filter hookup was reconnected to the gasoline side of the system, demanding nothing but a slight relocation.)
Perfect Timing
Rather than rely on a "by guess and by golly" timing control cable, we chose to regulate the ignition "chronology" by using equipment that was already on the vehicle. After advancing the initial timing 12° over the factory specification (to a point at which it seemed to suit—at idle—both gasoline and alcohol fuels), we tied the distributor's advance diaphragm control hose directly into the ported vacuum fitting on the ethanol carburetor. Since this connection functions only in the "off idle" position, the proper timing adjustments were automatically made—through both the vacuum and centrifugal advance systems—when the accelerator pedal was depressed.
The gasoline carburetor, on the other hand, has its vacuum fitting plugged ... so ignition timing in the "petrol" mode is entirely reliant upon the centrifugal advance mechanism in the distributor.
More to Come
Needless to say, all the folks here at MOTHER EARTH NEWS (and, judging from the response at our seminars, just about everyone who's taken a gander under the van's hood) are downright pleased with the newcomer to our alcohol-powered "fold". It has long since proved itself reliable, practical, and—perhaps best of all—totally flexible, since it burns both gasoline and high- or low-grade alcohol fuel (right down to 170-proof "juice") with nary a cough or sputter.
But there's more news: Our recent experiments indicate that it's possible to have an effective dual-fuel system using a single carburetor (in fact, we've already adopted just that sort of setup in our Ford truck). That will be the subject of another article covering our renewable fuel vehicle research.

Hey buddy, got any change?
If you're a Cubs fan, that's pretty much what you're thinking about, hoping for and expecting come this off-season. And the Cubs have no choice. Staying put is a recipe for disaster. Last year they won back to back division titles and made significant moves. This year their go to guys couldn't get a hit in the clutch when it mattered most, the starting pitchers had no run support and many turned in sub-par seasons when the organization and fans had hopes and dreams of so much more. This off-season therefore, should show significant action above and beyond what we saw last winter.
Zambrano has a no-trade clause and apparently he's not budging. Ok, fine. You know what then? My feeling is that it's not time to give up on Zambrano, simply time to expect less. He's no longer the ace of this staff. Well, let me rephrase that. He is the ace of this staff, however not deservingly so. He's seen his last consecutive Opening Day start, his last year as the number one guy. We had guys on this roster this year who performed more like the ace of the staff than Zambrano did, never mind the possibilities of what we may come up with in a trade or a free agent signing elsewhere across the league. So that's what needs to be done with Z. Knock him down a peg. Bring in a true ace. The Cards are deep in the ace category which is why they are destroying us this year. It seems like their entire staff dominated this season, two of their starters vying for the Cy Young award in the NL. We need a guy with the right stuff literally up his sleeve, and in his head. A leader. A true ace. Move Z down and find that guy. A rotation where Z is your number 2 or 3 guy instead of your 1 is a huge upgrade right there.
So Z needs a change of spot in the rotation and change of expectations to carry on his shoulders. Others need a change of location in the lineup. Soriano isn't capable of leading off any longer and Piniella has already announced those days are done. Good. Move him to the sixth hole where power is more of a commodity. Where you're practically a DH expected to field your position only slightly above average. Come to think of it…why not experiment moving Soriano back to 2B in the Spring? His knee is clearly a problem. Covering the hole at second calls for a lot less hustle and grind over the course of 162 than covering a large amount of room in left. His knee can't take it and the final games showed that he may not be our guy out there defensively. Sure he was in pain, but who's to say that won't happen again after another long season in left? Perhaps moving Soriano to the sixth hole to take advantage of his power and to 2B to take advantage of other options in the outfield is the way to go. Love Sori's bat potential…his detriment to our defense is too much to have him as our regular LF though. Sori to the 6 hole and 2B. Something to consider.
Other guys simply need a change of scenery. Enter, Milton Bradley. Or should I say, Exit. Bradley has been suspended by the Cubs organization for the remainder of the season. Comments he's made were determined detrimental to the team and organization and I believe we've seen the last of Milton Bradley in a Cubs uniform. You can't simply come in with a history of being a problem child, sign a three year deal which pays you 10million a year to play a game for a living, be expected to bring the power left-handed bat the team needs to put them (at least) out of the realm of being swept in the first round of the playoffs…then only produce a .257 AVG, 12 HR and put up 40 RBI. And then on top of it all, blame everyone but yourself for your poor performance while trashing the organization that gave you a great opportunity in the first place. Why doesn't he get what he could potentially be a part of? Imagine if this team won it all? He'd get to be a part of the largest celebrated, most talked about sports championship in the history of sports. And he'd be marked as a huge reason why. Instead, he limps out of a game, refuses to bat and disgraces his time here in every which way. I don't believe Milton Bradley deserves any racist comments that may have been thrown his way by fans. And I'm not equating taking that kind of abuse to having to read poor stats in the box scores every day…however, I believe Bradley and the fans deserve better. As far as I can tell, it looks like both may very well get just that.
Mathematically, we're still in (blah, blah). However, with reality comes the expectation that our season will end come the final game of the regular season. The thing that makes these remaining games fun to watch is simply Cubs baseball, rivalries, playing spoiler and watching the young guys get their shot. Think about how you feel just weeks after the final out is recorded in a Cubs game. Think about how much you can't wait for Spring to come around again so that the Cubs are back. That feeling is right around the corner, so enjoy watching the remaining games while you can. Sure, it's not always pretty, but at least it's there. And the rivalries…good times. Who doesn't love watching Cubs/Brewers, Cubs/Cardinals no matter the time of year? Those are always entertaining. I don't care if all are eliminated, simply fun to root for the Cubs to beat those teams and we got a week of the Brewers coming up. Let's go out strong and make a statement to take with us into the winter and into the Spring that we don't just lay down and die. The players, management, or the fans. And let's enjoy watching the young guns get their shot at the grand stage. I'm excited about Tyler Colvin coming up. I can't wait to see what he may have to contribute as a potential future Cub great. He's a coveted Cub prospect, his season is over and now is his time to shine. Shining in Spring training only means so much. Shining against division rivals when the games still matter is something else. Our outfield is depleted. Our team is hurting and so are our chances of making the playoffs. So let's get out there, change our outlook on the ending of this season starting today and enjoy the remaining games and the FEW positive things we have left to root for in '09 Cubs fans.
I mean really, what's the alternative? Cry about it? Not this year. Besides…if you cry about the Cubs into the Fall and Winter this year, when will you have time to do so about the '09 Bears? Pace yourself. Expect change. Enjoy this '09 team while you can. Gorzelanny on the mound tonight (see that, change already). Colvin on the grand stage up from AA ball. Let's beat Milwaukee…get that W Gorzelanny! Go Cubs Go!

Interestingly enough, rather than sign him as the team's catcher, Edes recommends landing the Minnesota-born Mauer and use him at first base in place of the departed Adrian Gonzalez:
[FONT=Verdana]When the Red Sox go to Nashville on Sunday for baseball's winter meetings, they should vow to return home with [/FONT]Joe Mauer[FONT=Verdana] as their new first baseman. Mike Napoli's visit to Boston last weekend suggests the Sox are considering lesser alternatives, but whatever reservations they have about making a long-term, expensive financial commitment to a player in the aftermath of the [/FONT]Carl Crawford[FONT=Verdana] and [/FONT]Adrian Gonzalez[FONT=Verdana] signings, here's my suggestion: Get over it.[/FONT]
Edes then prattles off some statistics that we all have come to know, love and embrace while not for one minute consider booing the owner of the following metrics:
[FONT=Verdana]Mauer has much greater value, of course, as a catcher, where offensive numbers like his are rarely found. But his performance plays at any position: His .323 career batting average is second among active players (minimum 1,000 plate appearances), just two percentage points behind Albert Pujols' .325.[/FONT][FONT=Verdana]He is fifth in on-base percentage (.405), and fifth in strikeouts-to-walks rate (.856). He led the American League with a .416 on-base percentage in 2012, and ranked 10th among all hitters in Bill James' Win Shares, with 25. The one knock on him is his lack of power; he hit 28 home runs in 2009, one of only two seasons in which he had a slugging percentage over .500.[/FONT]
Much like fantasizing what you will do with the Powerball winnings**, mulling over what sort of return you would get from Boston in this sort of deal would be fun but [probably] fruitless, cause it ain't going to happen. But what the hell? What do you think, how would a Mauer-less Twins look for the foreseeable future and what sort of packages from the Sox would you consider to let him go?
(**Just so you know, if any of you do win the Powerball, the fine print when you registered for TwinsDaily.com says that you owe 65% of that to John, Nick, Seth and myself).[/FONT]

1,200 Pounds Of Weed, Seized At The University Of Central Florida! (Over 41 Ppl Arrested & Main Buyers The Students)
"gents found 1,200 pounds of marijuana (see images) in a massive bust Wednesday and investigators say it's worth more than $1 million. WFTV learned that the marijuana investigation centered on University of Central Florida students. Earlier this month, WFTV reported on the investigation into drug rings. Agents raided 12 homes that were all involved in a major drug ring. Agents said the drugs likely came from Mexico, through Texas, and into Polk County. The dealers planned to distribute it to every other Central Florida county." - Florida News

Want to Record in the Studio with Snoop Dogg? Here's Your Chance
When you think of Snoop Dogg gardening, a very specific type of herb probably comes to mind — but as it turns out, the veteran rapper is actually an all-around green thumb enthusiast, and he's donating some studio time to prove it.
Snoop is hosting an auction to help raise money for Urban Growing, an organization dedicated to expanding the growing urban gardening movement. The prize? The chance to sit in with Snoop during a studio session (and catch a ride to the studio in a "pimped-out car," of course).
The auction proceeds will also benefit another cause near and dear to Snoop's heart: his youth football league, which will receive 10 percent of the donations. Both organizations stand to make out pretty well when it's all said and done — the top bid for the auction, which doesn't end until August 3, already stands at a robust $6,000.

Quotei think the barrier of entry is just higher for an rpg vs fps or whatever else. I don't think I agree. An FPS is out of my comfort zone and every time I pick one up, I make myself look like an idiot. I'm sure I would get better at it if I played games from that genre more often. And I might, if I find that one FPS that pulls me in. I'm sure it's the same with RPG's. Find that one game and you're set. My brother got started with Suikoden back when he didn't consider himself a gamer. I have absolutely no idea why he picked that game. It was 2001, you'd think it would look old and boring compared to some of the fancier 3D games. He just did. Ten years later, he's played most of the series, but he still can't pronounce the title correctly. My sister is an even better example. She's not a gamer, no one would ever consider he a gamer. I don't think she knows what a RPG is and I doubt she'd be interested enough to learn. But sometimes she gets bored, really bored. She'll look through my games, pick something she's never heard of and play for hours on end. She got halfway through Lufia II within a matter of days because she felt like it. Two years later, she does the same with Breath of Fire II. Then Atelier Iris. She hasn't had many of these cravings since I moved out, but if my full collection was still within arms reach, I'd probably find her playing something like Etrian Odyssey or Sakura Taisen.
i think the barrier of entry is just higher for an rpg vs fps or whatever else.
I remember asking "wtf is Qoga?", someone said, "it means 'life' in the ArTone language!!!!!"WHAT THE HELL GOOD IS THAT TO ANYONE?? I thought that was a terrible name, without a doubt ostracized some people curious about the title and can't make sense of it... it was bad enough "Ar Tonelico" technically means nothing beyond fancy being a video game name. JRPGs can be pretty bad for these in-game referencial titles. Radiant Historia is a bit of a mouthfull (and just down right confusing when people remember a similar-sounding PS2 title), and again, doesn't really mean anything.
observing my brothers i think the real problem is multiplayer or rather a lack of it. though admittedly its hard to imagine a multiplayer FFX or Xensaga wich explains tails cotinued popularity and the growth of PSO clones.
Quotethere is all these thingss that we have come to expect almost since we've been playing rpgs forever that the laymen coming into it might be put off by. Everything you've listed (grind, vague goals, easily missed items necessary for progression) are elements of /really fucking shitty/ game design, and if they're conventions inherent to JRPG, then JRPGs are an embodiment of /really fucking shitty/ game design.In which case the real reason for the downturn of JRPGs is just that they're terrible.
there is all these thingss that we have come to expect almost since we've been playing rpgs forever that the laymen coming into it might be put off by.
I've noticed that the most popular "real" definite rpg in recent memory is Skyrim, despite supposedly being 70~90% filler (quantity/quality) and trying to wow people with with as much photo realism as it can hold on a disc with that much (800 hours?) content, recycling a dreary swords/sorcery/dragons/elves/etc setting.I get that a lot of this stuff is optional but it raises a question: why put that much filler in a game if it has no real purpose?To boast about having made A REALLY MASSIVE GAME OMG and sell a ton of games, probably.About graphics, nearly every mainstream game franchise (rpg or not) seems to be intent on using a style that pushes its console's capabilities and we end up with most games trying to emulate each other and to me at least, it feels/looks stale.The only major exception to this seems to be Borderlands.
Probably because its not a walking mass of terrible anime tropes that collectively have been long since run right into the fucking ground. Or possibly because everyone wanted to indulge in the hilarity of an unpatched Elder Scrolls game (such as bears getting launched into the horizon, horses that can run up sheer cliffs, arrows in everybody's knees, ect). And it having no major feature that requires living in Japan or attending a convention like PAX or Comicon to use to any meaningful effect might also be a factor as well.
