    It's a sad day...

    Finally listed the stang on eBay a few hours ago. I'm getting knee surgery soon and won't be able to drive it for months and on top of that I just graduated college so I need the cash. Oh well, my next mustang will either be a '93 Cobra or an '03-'04 Cobra. Gonna start saving now. For now...

    Gotta sell the stang - Illinois liability?

    Yeah so ***** happens and it turns out I have to have knee surgery on my left leg. My 5.0 is a manual which means I gotta sell it and get something with a lot of leg room and an automatic tranny until my knee heals up which might take several months. It's all for the better though. I'll save...

    Stall upon Startup

    So, when I start my car up it'll idle for five seconds and then the RPM drop and it stalls. Usually on the second time I start it it works fine. If I give it some gas right when it's about to stall it'll keep it from stalling and if the car's already warmed up and I start it it won't stall...

    Get rid of power steering?

    How can I get rid of my power steering? Do I need something like a flaming river non-power steering specific rack or can I just keep my stock rack, take out the pump and get a new belt? I want to get rid of it because it's really loud and obnoxious, but not in the good glass-pack way. It...

    Pulley Install

    I picked up some March Performance pulleys. I can't get my old pulleys off though, they just spin. I don't have an impact wrench, just a bunch of hand tools. Any tips?

    So someone tried to break into my car...

    They didn't get in but they destroyed the lock cylinder on the passenger side. Can I get a new cylinder at a locksmith or does it have to be a Ford part? It's got power locks if that makes a difference.

    Need new front lower control arms. Are these enough?

    LX wing on a GT? Any pics? Thoughts?

    I like the sleeker lower profile look of the LX wing so it got me wondering how it would look on a GT. I'd put on a Cobra bumper too so it doesn't look so "saggy" if you know what I mean. It could look like crap, I'm just curious. So, if anyone has seen any pics of an LX wing w/Cobra or GT...

    Good chassis/suspension work in Chicago?

    Cheap sway bar... or anyone have one?

    My '88 GT doesn't have a front sway bar. What's a good cheap one that'll do the job? Summit any good? I need the whole kit (links, bushings, clamps AND the bar). On that note, I'm driving from Boston to Chicago tomorrow on I-90 all the way. If anybody has a stock front sway bar they're not...

    Fog light tech - resistor?

    To solve the fog light problem on GTs, can I just put in a resistor before the lamp? I know it will dim the lamp but I'm just wondering if it will keep them from overheating and shutting off like I hear they do. If the resistor will work, what ohm should I use? My GT came without fog lights...

    Help! Engine clicking while running!

    I just started up my car after filling up gas and my engine started clicking. The clicking is directly proportional to engine speed. I did the math and I get about one click per RPM. I've been having trouble with a pulley lately screeching in a narrow RPM band of about 3000-3200 so maybe...

    Let's see some white letter tires!

    Post pics if you got white letter tires on your 5.0! Radial T/As, Firestone Indy 500s, whatever you got... I bought my '88 5.0 with Radial T/As on it but the white lettering faces the wheel well. I'm thinking about having the white lettering face out when I get them rotated but I wanna see...

    Illinois inspection?

    I just registered my Mustang in Illinois and I don't know if I need safety or emissions stickers. When I registered the car I wasn't asked to provide proof of any type of inspection. It's 20 years old, is that why? Or does Illinois not have window stickers? No one in my neighborhood has...
