    correct paint for window portion of door

    I used Duplicolor T95 universal flat black, on all the upper door jamb (as well as the door window frame). Been a year, it's holding up well. BTW, thanks for spelling "jamb" correctly, and not like the strawberry kind. :nice:

    Anybody got pics of Roush style wheels on a Fox

    That's the one with the mini-tubs and custom-widened wheels, etc., correct? Where's a "hard-on" smiley when you need one? Fox notches rule! :nice: Edit: oh yeah - as far as money goes, I paid about $120/ea for mine (new) off eBay about 2 years ago. Thing is, they're no longer made. So...

    Do i have to?

    lol Of course you don't have to run a filter. It's your car, do as you like. But then again, your engine doesn't have to last 5000 miles. Your call.

    New to the Fox...

    Back when I was a kid, the internet was called "books". Try this one: http://www.amazon.com/Official-Ford-Mustang-5-0-Performance/dp/0837602106/sr=1-3/qid=1172135896/ref=sr_1_3/002-9574480-4870452?ie=UTF8&s=books

    1988 SVT Coupe Project

    Wow. I've web-blogged a car project myself, and know how hard it is to be doing all the work and documenting it, too. Well done on both counts. That car will be of a very rare and special breed when it's done. Mod-motor Foxes rule - goes double for notches! :hail2:

    Fox Bodies in Movies

    "To Live and Die in L.A." A four-eye :nice: The spot in "Twins" was a good one.

    You guys like these rims...??

    :notnice: Can't go wrong with most any Cobra wheel... except those. Most wheels that hide the lugs don't look good.

    School me on Caster/Camber Plates

    lol - you don't buy MM stuff "for the name." It isn't Calvin Klein or or DKNY. Maximum Motorsports has the reputation they do because their stuff is strong and functions the way it should. They're grassroots racers who run what they build - a lot. Check out their website. If you plan on...

    engine flush, marvel's mystery oil help

    Regarding oil additives, (so-called) stabilizers, etc.: Someone once asked Andy Granatelli what "STP" actually does. He replied, "It makes me rich."

    Terminator swap into 88gt

    Essentially requires re-engineering the entire car. However... any Fox + any mod motor = very cool. :nice:

    Best lowering springs for street

    If you want nice ride quality, God forbid you should get the Sportlines. I've got 'em on my '89: they are low and handle great, but are quite stiff.

    Brake setup?

    If it's simply a question of what's easier... of course it's easier to keep the drums. But if you want to talk about what stops better, and what has the bling to keep up with big see-through-'em wheels...

    Guys with Powerdynes, I need belt sizes.

    You'll never get it right asking what others run - too many variables. Try this: route a string along the path the belt will take, then measure. Go to the parts store and buy a belt that length, as well as the next size larger and the next size smaller. Do a trial fitting and see what...

    Help with a lowered 1990 Mustang GT

    If you have a regular shop, take it there and put it up on the rack. Like rick said, should be fairly easy to determine what's going on by applying an eyeball or two. Look for evidence of bodywork, too - car was resprayed? A compression check, etc., wouldn't be a bad idea while you're there.

    4 lug wheel spacers? Just want my front welds to stick out a bit more....

    Off-topic remarks Nice four-eyed notch! :flag: This is no help, but, IMHO... put the ponies back on - they looked great.

    Question on 1989 GT, ATX

    ATX = automatic transmission, MTX = manual transmission? Bleah - there's been entire books and endless magazine articles written on your questions. You probably ought to start reading them, as you seem to be starting from zero. If you're going to be wrenching on cars (or paying others to do...

    M-2300-K '94 - '95 Suspension?

    Both, isn't it? I believe the 40 in the tire size is the aspect ratio, which would mean that 245/40 would be (nominally) 245mm wide, while the sidewall would be 245x40%. A 265/40 is going to be 265x40%. So, wider and taller? I'm running 18x9s, 245/40, '95 spindles, and Fox struts on my...
