    @#$@#$ someone dented my car, i need a fix

    Having a car you love as a daily driver sucks! Seems like everyone is out to smash, ding and scratch it! This month I'm starting an "Intro to Auto body repair and paint" class just for FUN! My car has a few dings and some flaws in paint that I would want to fix myself.

    leveling the stang

    OOOHHH Look at the JC Whitney catalog. In their suspension section they have something that you might be interested in. Really give them a try. They are in the Bushings/springs/drop kit misc section. Hard to explain what they look like but they fit between the spring coils to compress the...

    leveling the stang

    I think the reason the rear of the Mustang is so high is beacause the max cargo weight is about 500lbs The sticker on my right passenger door jamb says "luggage capacity-500lbs" So if it were level from the factory, the rear end would be too low for proper handling with the stock springs...

    What do mechanics do when you want to rebuild your 5.0 motor?

    Do a compression or leak down test yourself FIRST to check the condition of the Motor before pulling it out or having a mechanic tear it apart. And like MAtts89LX5.0 said, there might be something wrong with the transmission. 5.0 Could take a lot of beating!! Unless it was ran with low...

    Saw a 85 2.3 SVO at track...

    Maybe he wasn't slow. I guess was just expecting that car to move a lot faster than it did I was comparing it to many other stock 5.0's to include his buddies 5.0 LX with crank pully, K&N, stock mufflers w/turndowns, 5 speed w/2:73 rear which was always getting to the 1/8 mile finish by...

    Gas Gauge Died

    The "anti slosh" mudule also monitors the oil level in the oil pan and the coolant bottle. That keeps your gauge needle from moving up and down while driving over bumps and while cornering. JUST KIDDING!!!

    273's stock in an 89?

    You had to request an optional 3 27 for an automatic FOX car before buying it. If you didn't you would get the conventional 2 73 gear set. My car was originaly an automatic with 2 73's Now I have a 5 speed with 3 73's. Major difference in performance and gas mileage! Typo above! Yes 3...
