    New Forum Layout - Nice

    I think I like this better. It mixes all of us SN95 guys with the Fox guys. I often think I am missing out on conversations here from the Fox forums because I rarely read them. Now if we can just get people to post TECH related topics in the appropriate TECH forums LOL.

    Custom Made Shifter Handle Relocator

    I have a Pro 5.0 Shifter in my 94. When hitting first gear you smash your knuckles on the console. So I made one of these... I then redesigned it and made these... These are made from 7075 Aircraft Aluminum. If anyone wants one let me know. If I get enough interest I may make a few more.

    Please Help With Diagnostics Codes P1000 And P1401

    My wife just bought a 2001 V6 Mustang Automatic. She was getting a check engine light and she had it checked. They told her it was an EGR valve. So I bought a new one and threw on it today. While doing this I cleaned the Mass Air Sensor, the TB, and the IAC. Then I reset the computer and we...

    I am trimming my car in black. I really like the look. Here is what it looked like when I got it. I have since blacked out the hood vents and the tail lights... I am thinking of having the wheels powder coated black. I plan to buy some black 7 spoke Saleens for it, but I kinda like this...

    Door Hinges - Hinge Pins - What A Pain!

    Just a heads up for anyone contemplating replacing their door hinges on 94-04 Mustangs... they don't make a replacement hinge pin / bushing kit for these cars. You have to replace the entire hinge. I was told you can do this without removing the fender, and I don't doubt that you can. But with...

    2001 Door Hinge Pin Replacement

    My wife just bought a 2001 Coupe. The door almost fall off when you open them. I went to Auto Zone and O'Reilly today and they don't carry a suitable replacement part.

    Check Out These One-off Headlight Knobs

    Well, two off. I designed them in Mastercam based off measurements of my OEM knob. I created the running pony logo from scratch by tracing a logo I grabbed off the internet. The knurl is my own design. They still need more polishing, but I thought I'd give you guys a peek. I will be making more...

    Kenny Brown Suspension - Who Here Is Using It?

    I was looking at ordering some Griggs Racing stuff for my car. But after sending two emails with no response and sending one email to Kenny Brown and getting Kenny's right hand man Rich to respond a few hours later I think the customer service at Kenny Brown has won me over. I rode in an 89...

    Smog/ac Delete - Why Use The Delete Pulley?

    The smog delete tech article I have found states you need the smog delete pulley. Would it not be cheaper to just buy a shorter belt? I did this on my 90 Fox 5.0. I removed the AC and smog stuff and never used either delete kit. I am just curious why people use them???

    Poor Man's Mods - Cleaning Up Engine Bay

    I have been reading through some of these project threads. The money some of these people have just kills me. I am a poor boy with kids so I have very little money to spend. If I buy a $500 part it takes me a couple months to save up for it. So I have to go about modding my Stang a little...

    94 Convertible Door Panels

    My door panels are in somewhat bad condition. I want to replace them with something newer, but I don't see anyone selling new panels. A co-worker has a complete interior from a 98 Cobra that had 900 miles on it. He said the interior is like brand new. The Cobra was a hard top. Will the Cobra...

    New To Sn95 5.0 - Tune Up Tips

    I have had my share of Fox Body 5.0's. It has been awhile though. I remember I was told a few tune-up tips for the Fox 5.0 to check when changing plugs and such. Is everything the same on the 94 5.0? I remember using Autolite #25's, set the TPS between .98 and 1.0 volts (green and black wires)...
