    Axle Moving in and Out?

    It's normal don't worry about it. The c-clips will hold the axle in place, and the drums hold the c-clip in place.

    SVO Calipers on 92 Fox

    So to get the full benefit of the new calipers, I should pickup an SVO MC as well? What year pads for the LSC or Crown Vic?

    SVO Calipers on 92 Fox

    Picked up a set of "svo" calipers? off a friend for 15 buxx. He said he had a whole bunch of mixed reviews on the calipers about putting them on his car or not. Theyre supposed to be better than stock so I nabbed em, and went to place them on my car and I noticed the pad's on the piston side...

    Weld Draglites (front)

    Will be purchasing some draglites with my tax money and was wondering what size front rims/tires I should get. It's a street car so I don't want to go too skinny, so maybe a 15x5? I have stock front brakes, and I run strange coil-overs. So, i'll need to clear both of those. My old cobra r's...

    Driveshaft Issues

    I have the QA1 tubular K-member and a tremec tko500 tranny. Had the car running for a while with this setup, but the driveshaft was such a huge bitch to install the first time through. Guessing it's because the k-member is set back an inch farther than stock. I had to take apart the u-joint...

    Car Smoking, diagnosis?

    Ok, well now let's start from the beginning. Let my car warm up this morning and headed off to work as usual. Got to the end of my road and took a right on red, car was parked to the left of me and I heard a "squeek" noise that seemed to echo off the car at the light. Thought nothing of it...

    Possible Fuel problem?

    Line doesnt look crimped or any cuts in it. Kind of curious to try and just bypass the fuel pressure safety switch. Just because, it was running fine before on the 24's and I am running less pressure than I was last year because im running a bigger injector. So, maybe the adjustment on the...

    Possible Fuel problem?

    That track night was actually before the window switch, ended up picking that up recently. Was using a microswitch before. Fuel filter was recently changed, just a napa gold filter. The nitrous is working as it should when I have it sitting in the driveway. Guess i'll recheck the vac line...

    Possible Fuel problem?

    Ok, I tried searching through the 5.0 tech section but couldn't really get too straight of an answer. My current fuel system includes a 255 in tank, BBK Adjustable FPR, 42# injectors, and all the lines and everything else is how it came on a stock 92 GT. I've dyno'd it with my current...

    Tranny Fluid Question

    Well, I have a TKO 500, and it's about time to change the fluid. They reccommend GM Syncromesh for the tranny so I was wondering. ACdelco Syncromesh=GM Syncromesh right? I also heard that the Penzoil Syncromesh was the same thing as GM Syncro because they actually made it or something...

    Patching Tubes

    Welp, discovered a small slice in my MT ET Streets(bias ply) and there's definatly some air leaking from it. I was wondering if by chance I could put a patch on the tube and everything will be normal once more?

    Cotton Filters

    Ok thanks, after cleaning and oiling, generally how long must you wait before it's ready for use? Or will it be ready for use right after. Or is there a wait time after cleaning... I'm sure there will be directions on the "recharge kit" k&n sells. Thanks again in advance.

    Cotton Filters

    Well, the bbk website says my air filter is cotton and washable. How would one go about doing this? Usually just bought a new filter, but if it'll save me some cash(kinda tight atm) i'd like to just "clean" it. Do I need to buy some sort of chemical, or can i just run it through the sink and...

    Grinding Noise after Coil Over/A-arm install

    Car has been sitting for about 2 weeks, was waiting on my MM cc plates to come in. Wheels were off the car, and everything basically taken apart. And left until those plates came in. Re-installation was a breeze, and got evertyhing torqued down and then took it out. As soon as I got out of...

    Draglites on a DD

    Yeah, really considering a non-skinny on the front. Just curious if theyre really prone to bending or the heat from a long drive(from the brakes) would screw with them whatsoever. Theyre going on my 92 GT with stock calipers, and powerslot rotors(believe their the stock size, whatever that...

    Draglites on a DD

    Any problems? 15x8 or 15x9 out back with maybe a 15x7 up front? Don't really want to go all out skinnies really. Is a daily driver and not sure how they would be on the street. Car is not driven during the salty winter months but driven spring - fall

    Coilover Install, no directions

    Bought the Strange coilover conversion a couple months back and the weather is finally nice so I can throw them in. Didn't come with any directions, so placement on the strut is all going to be a guess. Currently have the Strange 10way adjustables too Now, obviously the sleeve goes over...
