    Cigarette/Cigar Lighter Amperage?

    Hey JT, I knew you would see this sooner or later . . . I probably should have just PM'd you in the first place! My problem is that I'm installing a little cooling fan assembly that can't handle more than 10.5 amps, so I'm trying to figure out what the circuit provides without just burning...

    Blowing Fuses Like Paris Hilton

    Clarification . . . I know this is an old thread but it looks like people keep going back to it, so I wanted to clarify that I did NOT replace the fuse with a larger fuse, just a resettable fuse. The resettable fuse that I used was the same size (15 amp) as the original blue 15 amp fuse, but...

    Cigarette/Cigar Lighter Amperage?

    I know it takes a 20amp fuse, but does anyone know what the actual amp output is for the cigarette lighter? I want to hook up an accessory wire off the cigarette lighter and can test the voltage (it's 14.5 VDC), but don't have an amp meter to find the real amperage.

    Good SoCal trans rebuilders

    Just a suggestion I don't know where in SoCal you are, but I have had several people recommend Tustin Transmission. They are right at the 5 Freeway, just off Newport Ave. in Tustin. As far as parts, I have read several articles on rebuild kits from D&D Performance -...

    2nd Mishimoto radiator leaking

    Tight Fit? Intesting! I will keep my fingers crossed that the replacement is a little looser fitting. I saw a thread where someone cut away some of the rubber grommets to make it fit looser and has had no problems with leaks either. Thanks for the feedback!

    Mishimoto Warranty?

    Hey man, I'm sorry! The radiator looks really cool and I have seen a lot of people on here who were happy with the radiators. Even though the guys at Mishimoto sound really nice, the fine print on this credit card authorization basically give them permission to charge an unspecified amount...

    Mishimoto Warranty?

    I have seen several complaints about Mishimoto aluminum radiators leaking, but not much on the warranty process. I just bought a radiator from Mishimoto in April and, after only two months, it has developed a small leak on the driver side, where the fins and the support come together...

    buying car from a private seller..

    Buying from a Private Seller I have bought several vehicles from private parties where they still owed money on the car. The first time, the bank was local and I met the seller at the bank, paid the bank in cash and had the title transferred into my name and then paid the seller the balance...

    2nd Mishimoto radiator leaking

    Mishimoto Leaking Too - Warranty Process? Well, I wish I had seen this thread before ordering my Mishimoto. First, the radiator showed up with the overflow fitting ripped out. I had a new fitting tapped but now, after only two months, it has developed a small leak on the driver side, about...

    what alternator and where from

    If you're a cheap bastard (like me), or on a budget, I picked up a 200AMP alternator off of eBay for $150 shipped: http://stores.ebay.com/Rareelectrical I agree with ronstang94 100% though, after a lot of research PA (http://www.paperformance.com/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=176) has a...

    Mishimoto Aluminum Radiators?

    I'm asking for feedback, not store suggestions. :shrug: I don't see the reason for this being moved . . . I'm not asking where to buy something, I'm asking for feedback on a manufacturer or alternative manufacturer suggestions. Also, there wasn't a lot of follow up responses in the...

    Mishimoto Aluminum Radiators?

    My radiator has a small leak and I was looking at getting an aluminum radiator. I wasn't able to find the Fluidyne radiator for less than $350 before I found these Mishimoto radiators that the import-car guys love. Mishimoto supposedly makes a "drop-in replacement" for the '94 Mustang for...

    300 hp

    After Cold Air Intake and Exhaust I would look at AFR Heads, either 165's or 185's. Just my opinion.

    1995 gt having issues please help

    Be careful cleaning the MAF filaments, they can break off pretty easily! Also, have you checked your vaccuum lines for leaks?

    T5 to AOD(E) Swap - Am I crazy or just lazy?

    Hey all of you here and that have pm'd me, thanks! It sounds like the swap from a T5 to an AODE or 4R70W is not exactly an easy swap. There are some fabrication, wiring and tuning issues that need to be worked out. So, at the moment, I'm looking for someone local that had done this to see...

    What kind of adjustable cable and quadrant

    I have the Steeda Quadrant and Adjuster with a stock cable. Adjustments have been very easy and no problems in the year that I have had it now . . . haven't had anything else, so I can't weigh in on one over the other.

    T5 to AOD(E) Swap - Am I crazy or just lazy?

    Thanks! Hey, thanks you guys. I have a lot to think about now. The 4r70w swap sounds interesting, especially if I can just pull one out of a 3.8 V6 and make it an almost direct swap. However, I also see everyone's points about the joys of driving a stick and I'm sure I would miss that after...

    T5 to AOD(E) Swap - Am I crazy or just lazy?

    OK, I must be getting lazy in my old age. When I bought my Mustang, I really wanted a Tremec 5-Speed and wouldn't even look at automatics. Driving my company car all day, I actually missed shifting through the gears of my weekend Mustang. Last year, I even had my T-5 rebuilt using "z-spec"...
