    Do i really need extended ball joints?

    fwiw i did not go the route of the extendo balljoint, but the theory behind it is very sound. mustangs already have a very low front roll center and lower the car even more makes it worse. the deal with the ball joints is to raise the front roll center back up. the price is very good on...

    What S/C to get???

    terbow seriously, think about all the guys with vortechs/kb's and see what they switch to. a few will go with 347's, but most will go with a turbo. more torque=more better

    Why is there so much area left?

    and that is why i don't like cobra brakes----thats the way its supposed to be. might wanna spray some paint around the inside to keep the rotor from rusting and looking like ****.

    How Long Have You Owned Your SN95 For?

    i bought mine about 4 years ago. i was working at a chebby dealer and they took it in on trade. i bought it as a graduation(college) gift for my wife---got it for the cheap. didn't quite figure out that it was such a rare car for a few weeks when i realized the hardtop was factory and not...

    Brakes: Best Bang for the Buck...(Under $1k)

    bullits have the horse, and the machs are plain. as for the brembos, i reused my brake hoses with no problems. my whole deal with upgrading to the brembos is the fact that i would get alot of fade from the cobras(hawk hps pad) if i was doing some "spirited" highway driving. since then...

    open downpipe or race bullet????

    so the turbo is coming in soon and i am trying to figure out the last details. i know it has a 3" dp and i almost have to run a single exhaust due to my T56, PHB, and TA(soon to come). the question is should i run it with an open downpipe or go ahead and put on the race bullet i bought...

    Brakes: Best Bang for the Buck...(Under $1k)

    i had a baer grand touring kit on order a while back. it used C5 pbr calipers-way bigger than cobra/C4/baer pbr's---and a slightly smaller rotor. it got put on backorder then they decided to quit making it. thats when i went with the brembos that ended up being about $100 cheaper. only...

    Brakes: Best Bang for the Buck...(Under $1k)

    the baer front kits use the same PBR calipers that the cobra kit uses. as for the rears, a cobra setup is more than enough---no real need to drop big coin on that. i had 10th anniv calipers then upgraded to the brembos and the diff is night and day. you will not be disappointed.

    BMW M6 vs 5.0

    E63 M6's are slugs out of the hole. i think my wifes prelude would put 2 cars on it up to 35. i have a hard time believing the 114(i would say from my butt dyno at least 119) trap speed. they flat out move when you get 80+ mph. good kill.

    New topic (for today :( ). Tires

    my only experience with nittos were on a 330 a guy had aftermarket 19's on. the wheels were all bent and wouldn't balance out. i can't say the tires were junk cuz his wheels were square, but i wll say that i was not real confident on those tires. as for the balancing, i never use outside...

    New topic (for today :( ). Tires

    kum-ho's are absolute crap---same with sumihomo's i do a fair amount of tires at work, mostly mich, conti, etc.. every once in a while we get a tight assed cust bring in kum-ho's. we have to force balance every tire we mount(max spec is 17lbs) and i have yet to see 1 kum-ho tire meet that...

    looking for a work truck....

    i think you mean 4.3, and an S10 with that engine is what i would be looking for. the 4.3 is a very good long lasting engine that is easy to work on and has cheap parts.

    Help me choose some Seats!

    i have owned a legacy and was seriously disappointed. i have never had an A4, but if i ever labadomize myself and buy a corbeau seat again that would be it--in microsuede of course. you really should ball out and buy a set of factory '00 cobra r seats---you can still find them on ebay for...

    Is This Saleen Real?

    yeah, i'm pretty sure it was just the S351R and SR that started as V6's. in '00 there would be a VIN plaque on the firewall right above the master cylinder
