    Educated tire help! 17x9 rears... I searched too...

    I'd go with a 275/40/17, The tire is going to fit on the rim very nicely and not be too wide to where it would be soft in the sidewalls and flex alot, yet not be too narrow and look like your trying to stretch the tire on to make it fit. Best thing you can do is look at the tire you want to get...

    Clunk!

    I have a 97GT myself and I've had that clunking/knocking noise when ever I turn the car so far either direction or end up pulling into somewhere where the ground is uneven. It gets annoying and I've never been able to find it. Everything is tight, I've checked and rechecked and nothing. I've...

    Falken fk452 's anybody??

    Falken 452's are a good tire for the price. They ride nice wet and dry. I'm using 255/45/17 on my 97gt. On the street they work really nice compared to the track. At the track all's I could get was a 2.1 60'. If all's your looking for is a nice DD tire they'll work good for you.

    Comparing track times

    I'm hoping to go back up again and try to run it up higher to see if that'll make a difference in the times. I was hoping to see a difference with the exhaust but maybe I'll really need some tires to see the big picture.

    Speed Cal Issue (HELP)

    best longtubes and x pipe combination?

    I put on the Bassani midlenght, off road x, and catback and fitment was great, not horrible to install at all and still gives the clearance needed for dropping the tranny out. I love the sound of the full exhaust... it's just up how much you want to spend and how much you work you want to do.

    3.73s=increase in MPG?

    You can see a difference with gears in the vehicle. In my 97 it came with 2.73 stock from the factory. In town I usually averaged around 17-19 depending on how i drove and even less if I romped on it enough. I took the vehicle on several road trips and only averaged around 22-23 mpg on the...

    Alignment Issues, Need Suggestions

    How hard is it pulling left?? I think there could be a slight chance of it due the split in camber. Granted both are tilted inwards but the .6 of a degree can make some difference on some vehicles. After I put my suspension on mine and had it aligned, they ended up putting as much equal positive...

    Getting worried

    If your talking about modular power house, I wouldn't be too worried from what I've read about them. If you sent them a personal check... it'll probably take a couple weeks for them to get the check and have it get cleared. If it was a certified bank check then I'd be asking questions and see if...

    would Granatelli spark plugwires give you more HP?

    In one of the mustang magazines I get they were talking about the granatelli COP generating like 15+ hp from putting them on. They had a motor with the dyno sheets and everything, not sure if it was rwhp or fwhp but it had to deal with the fact that there was like 4-5 times the amount of...

    Major Engine Problems

    not sure what your looking for a reply about... but from the looks of it I'd say your in order for a whole new motor and different person to install it. I know how one thing can lead to another but basically what he listed is you need a new motor to go in and be done with it rather then spending...

    When I changed the fluid in rear diff after the gears then the break in, both times we just cleaned off the surfaces really good, put some rtv on there and then started filling, and took it driving about 10 min after the fluid was in; no problems either time and shouldn't have any if ya do it right.

    Storing for winter

    Basically last year with my car I just had it sit on the side of the house on the cement. Filled the tank up about 3/4 of the way; put some sta-bil in the gas tank and that was that. I went out about every 2-3 weeks and started the car and let it run up to operating temp and then shut it off...
