    Strut tower brace: MM or Steeda?

    Hahaha, I couldn't have worded it any better. Honestly I think the firearm would be of more value and utility than the STB. ;) And about the weight issue - Yes horsepower to weight ratio is good for any kind of car, but the key to any well-handling vehicle is balance. Last I heard the...

    Strut tower brace: MM or Steeda?

    Ultimately I believe you are correct. Most Mustang owners never get over 300 Horsepower out of their cars and they don't go very far with suspension mods... and I'm betting most think that they are really pushing their car hard, when they aren't even close to the limits. For them, I'd say a...

    Strut tower brace: MM or Steeda?

    This is another one of those endless internet debates. All I can say about it is that when I've taken a strut tower brace off any mustang, you have to jack the car up from the k-member just so the strut towers will separate enough to put the STB back on... Thats all I need to see to make me...

    How To: Change Your Cluster to Blue L.E.D.s/Incandescent bulbs for $8

    If I do not succeed I will be ordering some really bright blue LED's. ;) This has been a really good thread/sticky.

    Noise when I turn?

    If it were suspension related you'd probably hear/feel it more often..... Is your battery secure? Have you recently done anything to the struts or springs? Are the wheels oem? My 9 inch wheels at full lock will rub the a-arm and cause a pop when the wheel weight hits the a-arm... Just...

    Intake manifold deck height - 4V versus 2V

    Hmmm. 4.5mm isn't as much as I was hoping for. I've got a 96-98 Cobra hood on a 96 GT. I want to put a KB on 2valve heads but the power level I want is going to push the 2.1 to the limit - and the 2.6 requires a cowl hood. I don't want a different hood. I was just wondering how much extra...

    Intake manifold deck height - 4V versus 2V

    Umm, I feel dumb asking this... buuuuuuut -> 4valve 4.6 longblock versus 2valve 4.6 longblock: is the height of the intake manifold deck the same (ya know where the intake seats on the heads)? For example, pick a point on the block like the top of the block between the heads, and measuring...

    How To: Change Your Cluster to Blue L.E.D.s/Incandescent bulbs for $8

    So basically, what I've read is there's no perfect medium here. If you get ultra-bright LED's behind the cluster and HVAC, it breaks through the green tint on the overlay, but you lose all the red on your gauges and HVAC controls... You could just buy a MAC White Face overlay for only...

    265's or 275's on my 18"s....

    235's come factory on some Porsches with 9" front wheels. I thought it sounded insane too, until I saw it mounted. I wouldn't go any wider than a 245 on a 9" wheel in front. A 255 buldges too much for my taste, but alot of guys like the tire buldge... Its purely preference unless you are on...

    Gauges in place of HVAC controls on SN95?

    Hmmm. I don't really dig it. The image I orignally saw was very classy. It looked factory, as if it was always meant to be that way. Three Autometer Cobalt gauges with chrome trim rings, set into an all black dash, just like my car. I wouldn't do it any other way besides the dash pod.

    KYB AGX's or Tokico D-SPEC's

    :stupid: Shocks and struts are one thing that you actually get what you pay for. Spend less = perform less. I run Tokico's because they interact perfectly with the rest of my suspension setup.

    Gauges in place of HVAC controls on SN95?

    Yeah I was just going to do the gauge pod on the dash, but then I wouldn't have a clock... and I like the clock :rolleyes: Ok here is a different picture.... the pic I saw was awesome looking, but this one isn't so hot. However it is the same setup except I want the gauges on the top and...

    Gauges in place of HVAC controls on SN95?

    I saw a pic online somewhere and I'm thinking it was an SN95 car that had three gauges in place of the HVAC controls on the dash. Can anyone comment on how difficult/easy it would be to relocate the HVAC controls to the bay where the radio goes? I know the foxes have relocation kits, but since...

    265's or 275's on my 18"s....

    The tires have that guard to protect the lip of the rim from curb rash. My wheels don't have a scratch on them. Like I said - they fit perfectly (not too much, not too little) :nice: Now when I first got these wheels, I put a 265 on the rears... THAT was not enough tire, but there wasn't a...

    You Wanted a Video...You Got a Video

    Burning out on street tires is doing nothing for your launch. Its only going to cause you to have to buy new tires sooner. I still got better 60' times on my 555R's with just a quick, dry burn. Another angle on the heel-toe burnout. I wear a size 10.5 to 11 shoe which I thought was pretty...

    265's or 275's on my 18"s....

    235/40's seem to be the perfect fit for my 18x9's. I run a 285 on the 18x10's out back. I don't like the balloon-tire effect.

    Steeda - Great Customer Service!

    I had their solid rear swaybar on my 96 GT for almost one year and it snapped just like my old stock on did (as the stock ones are known to do), only my stock one made it about 160K miles. So I pulled the Steeda bar off and shipped it to them. Don sent my sales receipt through accounting, and...

    96 gt convertible side exit

    Just about everybody makes a single in/single out, same end muffler. If you want the best sound Spintech 333 SCS's are the ticket. You can do side exhaust a number of ways with subframes - roush has SFC's for side exhaust, or you can fab your own... Or you can do like Kenny Brown and run...

    Best Way To Paint Emblem?

    I have the same numb feeling in my head after reading most of your posts as I did after suffering through the movie "Dude, Where's My Car" ....and those emblems look cheap. Scrap them and buy some different ones.
