lol yeah that will do it.

as for a tune up, i'll just list a few things off the top of my head.

spark plugs
PCV valve
fuel filter
air filter (or clean the filter you have if its a CAI)
maybe run some fuel injector cleaner in your next tank
change any fluid that needs it

Hey everybody. It's been a while. How's everyone doing? Got a random question for ya'll. Does anybody know the exact bumper that goes on the 1999 35th Anniversary mustangs? A while back I was in an accident that required the replacing of my rear bumper. The bumper that was put on by the Ford stealership is not the same width as my original bumper. For the life of my I can not figure out why. Any ideas?

thats good city mpg shaun, im not really sure what i get 100% city, but i would guess its around there too. i saw an increase with my vmp tune/long tube install as well. if i do about 90% highway my average is around 27.5 to 28mpg, i try to take it easy city driving but sometimes cant avoid getting on it a little if im taking off on a main street with a 50-55 mph

Jess, I would guess they didn't use a Ford part, but some knock off to save themselves money - that is why you have a crappy fit.

Got a pic of it?

So I flushed out my brake fluid today. I've been meaning to get it done. I couldn't find a place locally with an actual flush machine and the shop i found just had a bleeding machine and wanted $90. So I bought some brake fluid, a piece of hose, and did it with a buddy. The picture is of the old brake fluid, as you can tell, its in pretty rough shape. Brake pedal feels firmer now not a squishy, much better for an hours work. Heres the picture haha
