    Drum Adjuster Spring Install?

    Any tricks to get this damn thing on without a second set of hands? My father in law helped me get the driver's side together but he's gone now and I wanna button the passenger side up tonight.

    Leather Take-offs

    Anybody know a good source for some OEM-quality leather? The cheapest I've found was topleatherseat on eBay for $650 obo. Newtakeoff.com doesn't stock 2010 leather anymore...

    Exhaust popping

    Seems like a lot of 3v stangs do this, judging by my youtube exhaust video searches. Mine did it stock and with the American Thunder mufflers it's....uh...louder. Any way to make it stop?

    Things to look out for buying a used 2010GT

    Anything I should look for specifically? Got a line of a good deal and my '02 broke on my last night for the last time.

    Tranny leak

    Seems I'm leaking tranny fluid from the seam between the bellhousing and the transmission. I gave it a little look-over and it looks like the bolts to tighten it are INSIDE the bellhousing and I'm not equipped to take on a job like that nor can I really afford to have any extensive work done...

    Fuel pump?

    Car turns but won't start. I changed the fuel filter a few weeks ago after a similar problem. Changed the fuse for the fuel pump and made sure the inertia switch wasn't tripped. Had my wife turn the key while I had my ear to the tank and couldn't hear the fuel pump 'whirring'. That's gotta...

    Mach 460 'CD ERROR'

    Ok so when I loaded a CD today it came up with the lovely "CD error" message. So it won't play cd's and it won't spit my cd's back out. Last time this happened I unhooked the batterry and the system reset itsself and worked fine....this time, not so much. What am I supposed to do? Houses of...

    Coolant leak....sorta

    OK let me start off by saying last week I changed my oil and topped off all fluids. Anyway, today I start my car and it's stuttering...I rev a few times and it seems to be fine. I turn on the a/c and it dies. Won't start back up. Pop the hood: there's no coolant. I check all the hoses...

    Tire wear strips.

    Good afternoon, folks. I just noticed the wear strips peeking through on my rear tires today. Normally that would mean, hey ass, get tires, but I'm ordering a new Mustang Sunday....think I could make it 6-8 weeks on my 30 mile commute with these things? I could just get some el cheapo tires...

    Valve cover gasket install....

    So I put RTV on the valve cover, attach the gasket, and put two dabs of RTV on the head at the front where the timing chain is....no RTV anywhere else on the head?

    p1639 code, could this have been the problem all along?

    My '02 GT with '03 engine threw this code: P1639 "Vehicle ID Block Corrupted: Not Programmed" Car dies at idle, at speed, no rhyme nor reason. Sometimes if I leave the key in the on position long enough the odo will --------- and then the fan comes on. This was happening before the engine...

    Rough idle, worse MPG, dying at red lights, shaking....

    I was getting around 23MPG now I'm at around 16. Shaking happens between idle and 2500 RPMs. Doesn't seem to be burning oil. I let a guy look at it and he said it seemed like a bad coil but when he changed said coil, another one would act up, and so forth....Occaisionally the car will shut...

    Electrical question.

    My battery keeps draining. I replaced the alternator and the battery still drained. Checked with a voltmeter and it was putting out around 10 V. Went to replace it, the parts guy checked it and said I was right, and ordered a replacement. Replacement came in and it was broken. At this point...

    Plug blow-out...took a piston with it this time!

    Someone up there must not like me. I got laid off at the end of November, can't find a job, and now this. Basically I'm looking at a new motor here, I guess. Should I just sell a guitar, get a new engine and be done with it? I was thinking about just asking the mechanic to do as little as...

    A/C belt whine.

    Hey all, When I start my '02 GT, everything's cool. Once I turn on the A/C, though, it makes what sounds like a belt whine for about 10-15 seconds. Just started doing that this week. Something serious or just inconvenient?

    Painting grille horse

    I wanna paint the horse flat black after I ditch the corrall. I figure I'll clean it, sand off the chrome, primer and spray some flat black. Can I get away with using model car paint or how should I go about this?

    Photoshop experts, gimmie a hand.

    I think I've got a pretty good concept going. Kinda a bastardized NASCAR thing. I've got a pretty good picture in my head of how I want the rear of the car to look but I'd like someone to chop the front for me if you've got a few minutes. Here's what I'm thinking: Toss the stang and corral...

    Funny thing happened on the way to work....

    I've been doing reasearch on gears lately since I was planning on 4.10s being my next mod. Anyway, I saw a thread that gave RPM's @ 80 for 3.27's, 3.73's, and 4.10's so I thought I'd pay attention this morning. Low and behold I'm turning about 2500 @ 80mph and according to that thread that...

    Shelby CS67 wheels

    OK, so it says they're for '05 and up stangs but could I theoretically slap some on my car? I've already got a 1" spacer for the rear so i'm thinking that'd cancel out any offset issues...would I need them for the front? I can't seem to find the offset specs on the shelby wheels...might have...
