    Mongoose Owners

    Yeah, I was surprised too. I really just got out of the whole car scene all together, but kept the car. When I finally decided to get her back in running order, I almost couldn't believe it when I tried logging on to MPH forums only to find that they were dead. But yeah, apparently Tim moved...

    Cams or Nitrous?

    Is this your DD as well? If so ask someone who's had cams before. They sound badass and really wake up the car (I've driven one w/ VT Stage II's and it was def. fun to drive) but after a while I've heard several guys mention that they missed the "driveability" they had before cams. If you...

    why would someone do this?!?

    There are. If justice was swift that little bastard would have been hit by a garbage truck about 2 blocks from your car, having the very same key slammed through his eyeball and, Allah willing, he'd be bedridden, fed through a tube and breathing through a ventilator the rest of his life...

    Mongoose Owners

    Hey, thats why I thought putting this thread together would be helpful. We can pool all the info we can and let the owner ultimately decide which best suits his or her application.

    Mongoose Owners

    Hey guys, some of you who have been around for a while probably know that I have a mongoose kit on my Bullitt. Unfortunately life smacked me square in the mouth a few years ago and the mustang kind of went to hell. Well I'm doing pretty good now and I'm trying to get the mustang back in...

    Any problem with a tuned vehicle and emissions in MD?

    Coming from Arkansas where you could literally get tags for a leaking can of motor oil and drive it down interstate 40 w/o any hassle....f'k the MVA man, really.

    Prep for Stering Rack replacement

    I took it out about 4 years ago to get better weight transfer at the track, and just never reinstalled it. Differences are slightly noticeable. More body roll, front end rises up a bit more and the rear squats a bit more....just like they said. If you're not a 1/4 mile junkie I'd keep it in...

    I'd hit it..... with a F'n sledgehammer.

    Prep for Stering Rack replacement

    I wash my hands so I dont get grease and dirt all over my other whip. ;) I know its def. a re-manufactured rack. Cardone I believe is the maker. It comes with a 3-year/36,000 mile warranty so if there's anything I don't like about it....I'll ram-rod a screwdriver inside the housing and send...

    Well I finally did it....

    Always had flowpaths right up there each of the 7 times I've changed my exhaust, but never did pull the trigger on them. Maybe NEXT time ;) Congrats dude, hope you like em.

    Prep for Stering Rack replacement

    Took the swaybar out a long time ago, so those bushings aren't in play. I have a lot of sockets, not sure if I have any 24 or 27mm, but if need be I can make a run to the auto parts store down the road. I was gonna yank the A-arms off and have one of my friends run it down the road to the auto...

    Prep for Stering Rack replacement

    So I just ordered a new rack and pinion, should be here in time for the weekend. I'm also going to be replacing my ball joints, A-arm bushings and steering rack bushings while I'm in there. Just wanted to make sure all my ducks are in a row before I start tearing everything apart. Here's...

    Random question about cleaning under the hood

    Let's go with that. If the car runs fine and nothings on fire, I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

    4.10's Don't fear the gear!!!

    Not that this topic hasn't been beaten to death, but... I've had both a N/A GT and currently have a Vortech'd Bullitt. 4.10's N/A 3.73's F/I Just my opinion after having personal experience with both.

    Cobalt SS....

    Only that you're wrong. Did you read my posts or just day dream of pwning ferrari's and ZR1's? Once again, a modified/bolt-on PI mustang shouldn't have any trouble with a STOCK SUPERCHARGED COBALT SS. But a MODIFIED SUPERCHARCHED COBALT SS might surprise you. Since you've apparently...

    Cobalt SS....

    I hope you're referring to a stock SS, but I would hardly make such an absolute statement like that. A "modified PI mustang" isn't exactly a world beater. I would know, I've owned two of them. Just sayin, you can hate on these cars all you want but don't be surprised when one of them...

    Hello from Baltimore, MD

    Welcome. I live just outside of Baltimore. Stang's not running (legally) right now but maybe we can get a meet going sometime. I haven't done much with the car in 3 years and I'm ready to get it back on the road. Really like your sti too, but i hope you enjoy your new stang just as much...

    Cobalt SS....

    With your mods, you should easily butt-rape him. That said, I've rode in and driven a lot of different cars since my days of being a mustang fan-boy and I've learned a lot. So I'll say this: any bolt-on 2V had better be careful what they wish for if they roll up on a ss/tc or an srt-4 with...
