    Let's talk steering racks

    I think it's fairly common knowledge that as far as factory steering racks go: 1) '00 Cobra R 2) Terminator What's third in line? How do manual racks compare to no. 1 & 2? I want something responsive, but not too heavy on the wheel. My project is going to be a cruiser/car show/summer...

    MM K member - spindles & offsets

    So I emailed MM about a few questions and they haven't got back to me. The MM K member moves the front tires forward .75", with a arm options to cancel the offset, use the offset, or increase the offset by another .75" (for a total of 1.5"). They also recommend the 96-04 spindles. I'm...

    Aftermarket Gauge cluster

    I'm getting back into the mustang game, planning on buying my next project car in the next couple of months after about a 3/4 year hiatus. The whole point of my project is to do thing right, the first time. I've come to the subject of gauges. The stock gauges won't cut it, and I've always...

    Removing a shell? R.I.P. Mustang

    Well guys, my Mustang R.I.P. I never got to finish my project, so I decided to sell my car as a roller. Mid tear down, I came across some serious rust on the rear floor pans, that went completely unnoticed. So I'm completely parting the car out now. That said, how the hell do I get rid of a...

    Swapped ignition cables and now...

    The check engine light is on and the car shakes when in drive. WTH. I am mostly certain that I put them on correctly (Order), but just to check, what is the firing order on these cars? What causes this? Do I need a tune after I swapped ignition cables? What am I missing here?

    Dead battery?

    Ok, the car AND battery both sat for about a year. Now onto the problem: When I charge the battery, the volts go up, all the electronics work, including the subwoofer. When I try to start the car, everything shuts off, and the car won't do anything when the key is in the on position. the car...

    Length of rear caliper bolts?

    Since I'm NEVER going to find anyone that's going to sell Caliper bolts, I'm getting new hardware from Ford, but they only have the front. I guess I'll have to settle on Grade 8 bolts/washers for the rear calipers. What length are these bolts? I guess I can always buy some them trim them, but...

    LRS AKA 50 Resto

    First off, let me say I've dealt with the company numerous times and never had a bad encounter with them. That said, don't ever order ANYTHING on back order with this company. Over 2 weeks ago I ordered numerous brake parts, including a 93 Cobra MC, Banjo bolt washers (8), and the Prop valve...

    S197 wheel fitment, IRS Questions...

    As some of you know, I'm swapping an IRS rear in my notch back. I thought everything was accounted for, but now I have differing opinions on wheels and offsets. What BS do I have to run to fit a 9" rim in the back? will 5.97" be enough? Or do I need over 6"? I want to run the 18x9 FR500s Front...

    Let's talk tires (comapnies, sizes, reviews)...

    Well I'm in tire buying season this coming January, as I'm getting new wheels for Christmas. I'm getting 18x9 FR500s at all four corners of my notch. I would love 18x10 in the back, but I'm worried about my IRS setup running into problems if I go that wide. I need an all season tire, I want...

    Cutting stock springs?

    I need a temporary replacement front spring (selling the drag springs, need something to hold me over until I get aftermarket springs) and all I have is the stockers. I HATE the 4x4 stance with them so I want to cut them (Plus I'm going to install an IRS, so I have 04 Cobra rear springs...

    Rear disks/calipers, few questions...

    I figured I'd post here, since the boneheads int he 5oh section only know drums :D haha. But seriously, I figured you guys would have more experience and be able to reffer to a car haing 94/95s: 1) Are the rear calipers side specific? How do you know which way does it go? 2) How many copper...

    Stock 04 Cobra springs..

    I'm installing an IRS in my fox and I'm using stock 04 Cobra springs (Coupe). I was going to install the fronts also since I have drag springs in the front of my notch. My question is, will the car have a 4x4 look with these springs? It's a full weight notch but it does have aluminum cylinder...

    Did I get the right part? Cobra BB...

    I bought a Cobra BB from Cardone on Ebay a few days ago. It came in, and seems to be a good product. But, how can I tell I actually have a Cobra BB? I compared it to stock and it looks much bigger, its rounder too. I'm pretty sure it's the right thing, but how do I tell to make sure?

    I think I made a BIG mess...

    Long story short, I'm in the Bronx at school, and my car is an hour away in Staten Island where I live. I won't be home until Friday, so can someone reassure me here: My oil pan bolts are loosened. All of the bolts are in the bolt holes WITH the pan on it and everything, but they are backed...

    I know I'm forgetting something...

    Ok boys and girls, I'm approaching the swap weekend, which is when my new brakes and IRS are going in my notch back. I pieced things together both locally, and through various forums, and I wanted to make sure I didn't over look anything. Well, here I go: 04 Cobra IRS w/ rotors, springs...

    OK, I'm going to buy remanufactured 93 Cobra BB of Ebay, and I just wanted to make sure there was someway to make sure its authentic, or at least the same specs as the Cobra (I'm upgrading my brakes). Is there anything I can check or do I have to take a chance and hope for the best? How about...

    Stock 95 GT front brakes, rear 03 Cobra brakes.

    Assuming I added rear 03 Cobra brakes with STOCK 94/95 front brakes, what MC/BB would you reccomend? I'm interested in a soft pedal feel. Not terrible soft, I want the brakes to bite, but I don't want a sticff pedal as you would get when the car is off and you pump the pedal a few times. Some of...

    When will LTs become a problem?

    I have the Eibach Launch kit with Lakewoods on my notch right now. Over the next year, I'm installing an IRS and a different, sportier suspension etc. I'm currently running BBK LTs with an Off Road H pipe. Even which the slightly high stance of the front of the car, the LTs occasionally scrape...
