    I sold my Mustang...

    Yep. It's gone. I'm heading overseas for a year, then somewhere else overseas for a couple years after that.. figured it'd be too much hassle moving it around and bringing it to cold climates. I'm now for the first time in like 10 years not a Mustang owner. Feels weird. Bought it new...

    90mm MAF / KB ?

    Ok, so as you guys may or may not know, Kenne Bell specifically recommends using only their 90mm MAF and big tube setup with their 99-04 kit. They also say the OEM maf is pegged at around 408rwhp.. Here's my question. Are any of you 9psi KB guys using another MAF, say the 90mm...

    Adjustable FP regulator question

    Hi guys, here's an easy one. Amazingly, I couldn't find the answer anywhere I looked. A buddy of mine with a 5.0 Bronco just slapped a Powerdyne kit on. He put an adjustable FP regulator on there, and found that he had a leak, so he swapped the stock one back on. Basically, he bought a...

    replacing quad shocks with solid bar?

    This is for my buddy who bought my old '88 GT. He removed the quad shocks, and says he feels the rear end floating a lot now. His dad is a fabricator, and said he wants to have him make some sold billet bars to put in place of the quad shocks. I would think this would be very hard for the rear...

    Installed Accufab 70mm TB/Plen.. impressions..

    I got it cheap from americanmuscle.com .. $361 shipped to me, since they were on sale for October. I'm very happy about paying that little. Now, as a lot of you probably saw, the 1st one I recieved looked like crap. They sent me a second one, which also in my opinion looked like crap. Not...

    KB owners talk to me

    Well, I guess after a while of jumping back and forth between the twin turbo and KB idea, I've actually made up my mind and decided to do the KB. Now, before I ask the question.. keep in mind I haven't ridden in too many REALLY fast cars in my lifetime. The fastest one is a guy I work with...

    UPS came today.. big let down.

    So I got my Accufab plenum/TB today from the former MT. http://www.sgarlic.com/IMG_3309.jpg http://www.sgarlic.com/IMG_3310.jpg http://www.sgarlic.com/IMG_3311.jpg That's pitting all over the plenum in the 1st pic, and scratches all over the IAC mount on the 2nd one.. 3rd is just a...

    Mark VII 5lug / weld wheels question

    My buddy came over today with the parts for the front 5 lug conversion, rotors from a '90 lincoln mark vii, 15x6 welds with 195/60R15's, new pads, and the stock calipers. After we put it all together, and test fit the wheel, the back of the wheel is rubbing on the front of the calipers. He...

    ITS Air Adjuster, who's tried this?

    So my buddy at work with a '95 Bronco just had a 350hp crate engine put in at Ford, and realized his MAF is calibrated to 42lb injectors, and he has 24's in there. Apparently nowhere around here recalibrates MAF's, and he doesn't want to spend the cash on a chip. He's looking at this ITS Air...

    Who uses Acetone in their gas?

    Ok, so I'm usually very skeptical about additives in gasoline, anti-everything, etc. I used my ZJ today as a ginnea pig for this. Most sites I read said to use no more than 3oz per 10 gal of gas. My ZJ holds 23 gallons, so after filling completely, I added 7oz of Acetone I got for $3.99/qt...

    wide tires/suspension ?

    Hey fellas. My buddy who bought my old '88 is having an issue and asked me to post for you guys to help with. He did the 5 lug conversion on the rear over the weekend, basically just bought 5 lug axles and 5 lug drums. Anyway, he mounted 15x7's (might be 15x8) with 225/60R15's on it...

    Bored? Read my new "how-to."

    Not sure how serious I was with this one, but here's something to read to pass the time if you have some. I never was able to google an Autometer gauge disassembly page, so I took one apart. Dialup users, there are several pictures which may take a while to load at this link...

    Dyno'd today.. #'s inside

    So, our local group here in Tucson had a dyno day today.. along with a mystic cobra that layed down 428, and a few other random ponies, mine put down 233rwhp and 273tq. The first 2 runs were 228hp, then 232, then the last was the best one. My only applicable mods are K&N drop in, removed...

    "The Chirp"

    Do you guys have with PATS systems have the bird chirp noise when you turn the ignition on? Every time I bring my car to Ford, and they try to start it, they can't the first time, so I have to explain, "Wait until you hear the 2 bird chirps, then crank it." .. I'm starting to wonder if I'm...

    rear caliper question

    Hi guys. You may remember a week or so ago, I crossthreaded a lugnut in the rear, and finally got around to messing with it today. I got the car up, wheel off, broke the lugnut and wheelstud off, etc. I then planned to just remove the caliper and rotor, replace the stud, etc. Well, I...

    wheel stud / lug nut question

    Hi guys. Got my chrome bullitt's & tires setup today. After putting them all on, I realized I had the directional tires going the wrong way. I removed the front ones, swapped them around, and when I got to the back ones, I found that one of my lug nuts broke loose, then wouldn't turn...

    5.0 Bronco question (sort of long)

    Hi guys, a friend of mine has a '95 Bronco 5.0. I know it's not the same exact thing, but this is more of a question for the mechanically inclined. Here's the background: Replaced valve cover gaskets, etc, one day. A few days later, there's an oil leak, and it's from the back drivers...

    Our differentials are lifetime lubed?

    I was reading my scheduled maintenance guide today, and toward the back in the exceptions page, it says vehicles using the Motorcraft 75w140, or any full synthetic differential fluid are lifetime lubed and should never be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected or you run through deep...
