    The thread of the nicest FOXES!

    it's not one of the best, but she has her moments, and I'm working on it. Just an average black hatch

    Speedometer cable

    Mine had a bit of a whistle/whine to it. A little silicone grease and no more problems.

    Anyone have a photo of where it is, my mind is being retarded at work and I'm not visualizing it.

    Royally P/O'd, vibration problem

    if its speed related, and not RPM, it would have to be related to the joints/rotating assembly or their install.

    Additional revs after letting of gas

    Yeah the MAF is probably due for a good cleaning. I have only cleaned the TB so far, and it had a bit of buildup inside it, so logic would state the MAF does as well. The grinding is probably due to clutch and bearing issues?

    Additional revs after letting of gas

    Blade isnt sticking, I removed the TB a while back and cleaned it, because I had a surging idle issue (still do, but its down on the list of fixes). The problem really only became noticeable in conjuction with the throw out bearing whine, which turns into a nasty grinding sound if the idle...

    Additional revs after letting of gas

    Could this be the result of a bad throw out bearing and VERY worn clutch. Leaving a parking lot or such, as I go to shift, when I let off on the gas some, there is a fraction of a second of additional revving, noticeable because of throw out bearing whine. Could this be because of the bad...

    engine rebuild

    Yeah but that .030 extra bore will allow for him to go with a 331 stroker motor with some modifications for relatively inexpensive. If your going to get it bored, may as well set it up for that.

    Friend locked keys in car

    Mustang locks aren't that difficult to pick, if the electronic actuators are gone. At least thats what I assume when my 2 amps got stolen. Bastards

    180 Miles on a Full Tank Whats Wrong?

    Hell, my mustang when I go easy gets like 23-25 mpg. It actually does better then my 3L Taurus wagon, and can come close to my gf's 98 z24 cavalier. Both of those are auto's.

    Leaning out in low rpm's - WHY??

    Mine had an identical problem when I removed the charcoal canister and unpugged that sensor that goes to it. The second I plugged that sensor/valve back in, it worked as normal again. I'm at work so don't know the exact name for what that sensor/valve is. When it was unplugged, my car would...

    1 Chamber Flows?

    I have full 2.5" with the 245's. No fitment problems on the 89 LX. I also have ravin performance exhaust mufflers, which I'm chucking soon. They are VERY sedate, and actually keep the car fairly tame, even under accel.

    Can I Boost It!

    just lower the compression and run more boost. I think on pump gas, with that high compression, you are certainly playing right on the verge of dangerous. I'd recommend building it up the safe way, but I've never been one to live dangerously. Everyone has posted great recommendations, but I...

    Clutch Vibration from Turning Steering Wheel??

    Hey guys, Im getting a subtle vibration in my clutch pedal when I turn my steering wheel. It feels entirely internal, any ideas on this one. Doesnt seem to effect anything, except it bothers me.

    Sheared Bolt Help, Water pump bolt

    Okay gentlemen and occasion ladies, I have a small quandry. I bought the March alternator kit and ac/delete kit. The ac kit went on no problem, power steering pump is in its lovely new home. The problem arose on the last bolt for the march kit. The tensioner arm it uses supplies a new...
