    SOLD 2002 Gt, True Blue, 52k Miles, Herndon, Virginia

    I have reached the point where I've decided to let the Mustang go. As you can tell by the miles, I don't drive it all that much and I really believe cars should be driven, not just be garage queens. I'm asking $9500 obo. I'd prefer not to ship it anywhere. I can drive it up to 100 miles out...

    Lower Ball Joint Issues

    So the front end of my '02 GT has been popping when hard over for a while. Based on some threads on here, a quick visual inspection with the wheels off, and general time working on cars, I figured the tie-rod end and ball joint probably needed to be replaced. So I took it to a shop because I...

    Mazda Tribute ABS - disable?

    My co-worker has a 2001 Mazda Tribute. He had a problem with the ABS that turned out not to be the recall problem. He doesn't really want ABS anyways, other than pulling the fuse (which would disable about 4 other safety features), what is the best way to disable the ABS? They want him to...

    Clutch going bad??

    After reaching operating temperature, whenever I sit at a light with the clutch fully depressed, I hear a sound that sounds like a slipping belt. By letting out the clutch, the noise goes away. When it first popped up, it was raining and I figured it was just the accessories belt, because it...

    3rd Brake Light -- Decklid light

    My friend's 3rd brake light on his decklid needs to be replaced. The top of it looks like someone scratched the ever-loving crap out of it. He says it's just from sun wear.

    Has anyone ever tried to change out the little windows in the back of a coupe with the windows and power mechanism from a vert? Aside from looking pretty cool, I think it would be nice to be able to roll down those back windows independantly from the front... like in the vert or in an older...
