    Expired New 13" Brembo 2000 Cobra R Brakes

    So, after some deep thinking, I have decided to trade in my Mustang towards a daily driver. I have collected some good performance parts over the last few years and I am going to sell them off separate from the car. The parts are a combination of new and used and the condition is specified...

    Mustang Parts!! UPS brought my redonkulous deal.

    First off, the pic: Rousch Racing is apparently halting their support of the '99-'04 Mustangs and Cobras for aftermarket parts. :notnice: However, this did work out for me. Rousch apparently liquidated their stock of the 13" 4-Piston Brembo kit to Stage 3 Racing in AZ. I picked up...

    Boo to TASCA Ford!!!

    So, yesterday, I go down to Cumberland, RI to the all Ford show at TASCA Ford. The flier I had said that John Force and Carrol Shelby would be there. At first I thought they were cool because the admission was 2 non-perishable good to donate to a food bank. So, after about an hour and a...

    Solving the tucked rear wheels permanently

    Nope, not wheel spacers. Not way-offset wheels either. Anyone want to guess? ? ? How about an independent rear suspension from a 2003 Cobra? My friend Jeff (twoturbofox) is finishing putting a 2001 Cobra IRS in...

    Opinion on used parts value (i.e. should I get them)

    Since I'm almost ready to do gears and a transmission in the next month or so (3.73's and a T56). I was thinking about doing some more to the engine to satisfy my power cravings while I save up to build my skunkworks engine for the Mustang. My buddy is selling some parts that he has that...

    If it's not one thing. . . GRRRRrrrrr!

    So, after my stock exhaust getting a leak in the cat-back, I figure perfect time to put in a Magnaflow setup. On Thursday, the exhaust system and the Dynomax stainless band clamps show up. So yesterday I put in the exhaust. Typical exhaust install, sucky work to do, but the best tools were...

    Band Clamps with Magnaflow cat-back

    Band Clamps with Magnaflow cat-back? Is anyone using band clamps to secure their Magnaflow cat-back as opposed to the U-bolt muffler clamps that come with the kit? What sizes and how many? I've been looking at the Dynomax Stainless Steel Butt-Joint Band Clamps and the Dynomax Stainless...

    To Twin Turbo, or not to Twin Turbo, that is the question.

    So, lately, I've been hanging around with the wrong crowd. Specifically, my friend Jeff who did a Twin Turbo '89 GT a few years ago. Now I've been thinking about what I really want to achieve with my car. Originally, I had planned on a *hopefully* high 11 second N/A Mustang that could double...

    Corroding Brake Lines

    I was under my Mustang this weekend replacing my clutch cable (amazingly light pedal now, btw) when I noticed that there are some brake lines under the radiator that are corroding (they're looking worse than just surface rust). They appear to be part of the ABS system. Has anyone replaced...

    Finally finished my Fox TB swap!!! DUW

    Wohoo! I finally finished my intake and fox TB swap on my '94. :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: When I got the last of it together, I warmed it up a bit, did an oilchange by flashlight. Then shelled out some $$ to fill the tank and went to the touch-free carwash. I even...

    Autometer Mechanical Gauges in dash bezel

    Well, like alot of people, I was sick of my temperature gauge that told me little to no useful info on my engines actual temperature as well as the "dummy needle" oil pressure gauge in the dash. I also wanted to have full sweep mechanical gauges because I'm odd like that. Here's what they...

    New Horse in the Stable

    Sorry, not a Mustang, but it is Ford powered (351w) and will fair alot better in New England winters than the '94. And I'll be putting a plow on it to hopefully make a green winter. :D It's a 1995 Bronco from Florida (so it's in mostly good shape). Let's hear it for Ebay. The tailgate...

    Slow computer? Try a PC Upgrade

    Guys, I found a really quick and cheap way to increase the performance of my computer. It started as a PIII 866 with 256Mb of RAM. Then I modded it. I figure each sticker is worth about 1000Mhz and 512Mb of RAM. That would make my computer now a PIII 3866Mhz with 1792Mb of RAM. Now...
