    no clearcoat on white, lies!

    So my boss says... back when he worked at a dealer service center(not too long ago) he got into an arguement with a customer about this. The customer was saying no automaker puts clearcoat on white vehicles. The customer said he was a paint tech/engineer at the local auto plant. He...

    opinions on a 3 link suspension

    This has been rolling around my head all winter. I'm referring to the torque arm, /panhard bar set-up MM has. My Mach is only a DD for the 7 months of MI driving season. I may take it to the track,(never been, flame if you must). What I am looking for is to plant the rear better in...

    Car woes... Fuel pump is suspected

    waiting to turn left on Ford RD onto Haggerty my car decided to die. Caused a nice line of angry Canton-ites to freak out. A guy in a sxt neon, mildly modded, of all people helped me to push her into a gas station(+1 for the neons out there). Would crank, nothing else. I suspect the pump...

    polished goodness... driveshaft/exhuast review

    the parts came this week and i got to fiddle with them before i install them. I installed the drive shaft before I got rained out today. Makes the shifts much smoother on this auto(Mach). Haven't gotten to open it up on the highway but the whole car just seems a bit smoother, hard...

    Rolled Tips?? Magnapacks...

    I installed the magnapack system for my Mach on thursday(sweet!). I also bought the 3.5" rolled tips to put them on instead of the ones the kit comes with. What is the best way to put these on? Since there is no bracketry that comes with them, I went to the local muffler shop to see...

    Save the Animals!!

    How many critters have you saved lately? Funniest thing. Have you revved your engine when you see a squirrel trying to cross the road only to see it reverse and run for its life? I also did it pulling into a Starbucks last night, but I saved myself some bad luck as it was a black cat trying...

    Exhuast comparision(loudness)

    Its only been a week and I've already starting planning out the mods on my Mach. Compared to the exhuast setup on the 98'(see sig), how loud would the magnapack catback for the Mach be? Im just wondering on the loudness level. The 98 sounds great to me as it is, you know it has a presence...

    Thinking about a Mach 1....

    Im pretty close in convincing myself to go ahead and get this Mach the local dealer has. Its a white auto with only 7500 miles. Their asking $20,000 for it to start. I haven't gone to look at it in person, but if it is flawless, there will be little stopping me in getting it. I think...

    Replacing rear end...

    I've been tossing around the idea of just replacing the entire rear end all at once. My stock gears have been whining for too long now. With high mileage and all, I don't think that if I were to do a comple gear/t-lock/bearing swap it would go so well either. Also when I turn fast or slow...
