    Throwout Bearing Question

    Ok, hopefully we can settle something with this thread. I just did a clutch job on my car, got it all back together. I ASSUMED the throwout bearing is not supposed to contact the pressure plate at all times, therefore so it doesn't spin 100% of the time, thus increasing its service life...

    Changing Transmission Tailshaft Seal?

    Got a replacement seal, old one doesn't want to come out easy. Any tips/tricks? I've heard you can use a flathead, but can't seem to find a spot to get leverage.

    Prw Flywheels? Reccomend Me A Flywheel!

    Question one... does anyone have a PRW billet flywheel, or know of their reputation? Second, I'm not stuck on that brand, they just seem to be less than others but are still SFI approved. Part of me says stick to FRPP. It's billet steel, SFI approved and weights a few lbs. less than the...

    Dear Ford: The Third Starter Bolt

    Preface: My morning started off with a call from work saying if I wanted the day off, I could take it. Three days off in a row? Don't mind if I do. I rose early with the intentions of having my trans on the ground by the afternoon so I could take the flywheel to get resurfaced and prep...

    Clutch Help... Clutch, Cable, Tob... The Whole Shebang!

    So, my throwout bearing exploded a few weeks ago. I'm ready to get the car back on the road before long (trying to be ready by Mustang Week). I'm looking hard at the RAM HDX clutch. Seems like it's an awesome compromise for a DD that sees track duty every once and a while. Rated at 400hp... so...

    SS Brake Lines & Bullitt/Cobra Brake Question

    50resto has a pretty sweet sale on MM SS brake lines. I have had a set of Bullitt brakes sitting in my garage since last Mustang Week, just haven't got to installing them. I assume MM is pretty much the best in that respect. Last Call Racing does have a set of their brand SS lines for about...

    05-09 Track Times

    Strongly considering parting with my 2v car for a newer, more refined, low mile, less hassle, better shape, cleaner, decent paint, leather interior, Shaker sound system GT...:lol: I know 3v cars respond better than 2v cars with basic mods, but what 1/4 times are to be expected with a good...

    Almost had a bad day...

    I took the 'Stang out the other day while I was doing some Christmas shopping. Kept smelling like the car was running progressively rich, until the point where it smelled like straight fuel. Thought maybe a plug or plugs were fouled and it was running rich until I stopped and smelled fuel...

    What would you guys do? Considering selling.

    Well... I'm at that point, it's either commit to my car as a long-term project or sell it/trade it in. I have my eye on a nice '07 GT, but I'm not sure I could get it for what I'd be comfortable paying for it. I've been around 05+ cars for a while now and have really grown fond of them. The...

    Opinions on a GT I'm Considering

    I currently have my 2000 GT in my signature and avatar. It's showing its age and the miles aren't exactly getting lower, so I've kicked around the idea of buying a newer GT and parting ways with mine. One that has caught my eye is a nice 2007 GT, 5 speed. Dark gray (DSG? or is there another one...

    Thoughts and Prayers for One of Our Members

    If any of you have followed the storm system moving across the southeast over the past few days, it has been spawning multiple tornadoes across SC and NC today. I was watching the weather channel and heard them mention a strong tornado near Four Oaks, NC and my stomach dropped. Some of you...

    Went to the track (vids)

    Went to Darlington Raceway last night with a group of people from one of the clubs I'm in. Had a good time, but I only made 4 runs. The track decided to make everyone wear a helmet, which wasn't previously stated nor enforced, so I had to borrow one to make my runs. I didn't want to bother too...

    School me on tie rod ends and balljoints!

    I'm having some bad alignment issues in my car along with some funky noises. Whenever I am stopped or at a low speed, turning the wheel creates a very noticeable squeak from the right front tire area. I assume this is a ball joint or bad tie rod end. I think both need to be replaced, as...

    Picked up a new ride... 4cyl way faster than my GT.

    It'll be a while before I'm ready to really let it rip, and I may never get the balls to take it to the track. If I did, in theory it'd go bottom 11's around 118-120mph. [/IMG]

    Info on Edelbrock Intake

    Alright, I need some input. My PI intake (plastic crossover) just cracked, and I'm considering the Edelbrock intake. A few questions for those in the know: What plenum adapter (and how much $?) would you suggest? Would you suggest going with a complete bolt-on upper plenum (again, how much...

    Another Intake Victim

    Yep, happened last night. Jumped on the gas through first and second, let off when I shifted into third and smelled coolant very strongly. Pulled off the road into a parking lot, car died. Steam billowing from under the hood, etc. Open it up and coolant is E V E R Y W H E R E! Towed it...

    Body Roll! Pics

    A shot from the autocross at Mustang Week. I didn't know I was driving a truck around the course until I saw these shots...:rlaugh: Roush springs, J&M adjustable LCA's, Tokico shocks out back, have the front struts waiting to go in as soon as I can bust my old ones off, and Bullitt bolt-on...

    Got called out...

    So one of our local clubs has a competition that's basically best of the club in terms of racing. It's not only a competition that requires a fast car, but it's also a strategic game as well. Basically someone wanting to move up the list calls out a person in a position better than theirs, and...

    Motor/Trans mount suggestions

    It's time to do these. I know I want urethane motor mounts. It's down to either Energy Suspension or Prothane. Late Model Restoration also makes a set that I would buy, but they say it "may" raise the height of the engine. I literally cannot move it up an inch, as the nitrous plate and raised...
