Kind of an off topic rant but my company has raised my rates yet again due to where I choose to live. The mustang which I declare drives 50 miles a month if that as it rarely sees actual road time is 50 a month and that is just for liability. My other vehicles run just a tad more. All in all...

Most of the regulars know I've got super huge wheels and tires out back. Upgraded the rear control arms and went with mach 1 shocks but left the stock springs. Body roll is obnoxious. I'm looking for a spring/shock combo that will severely reduce if not eliminate this. Not really looking to...

The front four intake runners are full of carbon and soot while the rear 4 are fairly good looking. Is this an o2 issue? I've had a rich condition that I've been unable to completely cure. Not throwing any codes for the o2 sensors, but I'm stumped as to why exactly half of them are clean...

It seems that most of the builds I am seeing these days lean towards show quality cars. When I started my rebuild which I guess will always be an ongoing process I never took into account the impact certain mods would have on daily driving. The car became something that looked and sounded...

We are all here because for some reason we love our foxes. What what makes it the car you love? Growing up I had massive disdain for a fox mustang. I found them plain to look at, you couldn't turn a corner without tripping over one. I seriously saw them as overgrown escorts. I LOVED and still do...

It's a given that we wrench on cars that are 24+ years old which goes hand in hand with a beverage or two. What else does everyone indulge in to take the edge off of life? Personally I love to paint. An equal love of mine is fishing. I rarely keep what I catch, but being on the water to me is...

I need to address the floor pans in my car. From someone that has done it, how big a job is this? I realise that the interior needs to come apart, that's not a big deal, but cutting and fitting wise, what's the skinny?

getting ready to redo the front suspension and in the purchase of coil overs I need to decide which brand strut I want to use. I've never had a bad experience with bilsteins but I've never had them on a fox either. I am also completely unfamiliar with koni. I currently have tokico struts/shocks...

When I bought the car it came with a mac offroad H pipe and all the smog equipment removed. Fast forward and I'm tired of smelling like fumes when I get out of the car. Would newer style cats that dont need air piped through them work to filter the HC's out? My wrangler doesnt have an air pipe...

Ive had my current Fox for 7 years now. I bought it on a whim for dirt cheap. It was rough. Not send it to the crusher rough, but man did it need a lot of work. I Dd'd for a couple years while doing small things to it and then stripped it down to a shell to completely redo it. Long story short a...

At start up the left bank exhaust stays cold for longer than it should. Right bank heats up fairly quickly. Anyone ever had this happen? Also there is water that comes out of the left tail pipe at start up. I always figured it was just condensation as it didn't smell like anti freeze and the...

Just took the car out for the first real drive in almost a year. Car started smelling hot about a block from the house. Thermostat said the engine was good so I got home and was greeted by smoke pouring out of the passenger wheel well. Obviously the caliper is stuck or hanging. It's a 99 pbr...

I have a blue fuse link that when it moves the car dies. I also saw it arc against the coil it runs next to.

Took my moldings off to sand and paint being very careful not to bend them. Put them back on and they are far from straight now. One thing I did notice was that the clips didn't go back in very well. If I install new clips do you think the moldings would lay flat against the glass again?

I just picked up an aftermarket catch can for the radiator. Mine broke five years ago and have been running without one since. Finally picked up an aluminum can, but it's smaller than the stocker. It holds just under a quart. Will that be big enough?

I am in the process of putting the ac back in my car. I still have ask the original parts but it was unoperational when I bought the car. I know I need to purchase a new dryer, evaporator, and condenser. I think my lines will be fine with just new o-rings and a cleaning. Can the compressor be...

I just picked up a mm torque arm and it's a lot beefier than I thought it would be. Makes me wonder if there is room to run tails. Anyone have this piece installed and running tail pipes? It's already tight with my 315 tires in the back. There is ZERO room for adjustment.

So I haven'tdriven my car for probably 6 months. I've dumped gas in it and let it run every month but today is the first time I've driven it since November of last year. Not sure if bad gas or what. Car idled a little high when parked but never had a miss. Think a new filter and some sea foam...
