    02 Stang w/ trac contrl prob

    I assume the Low Trac light is on, right? Which is what's making you think it's the traction control? Something about this is very very wrong. There's just no way your wheels are slipping at that speed and in a tall gear on dry pavement. I wonder if the people that changed your tires...

    bottoming out over speed bumps

    Try having someone else drive the car over a speed bump very slowly and you stand off to the side and watch it. If you're going over a bump as slowly as you've said, there really is no way the suspension should bottom out. Your springs and struts would have to be totally destroyed. So I...

    Another article for your reading pleasure!

    That person is stupid. So are all the Mustang people who hate on Hondas. They're both good cars. I'd drive either with pride. In fact I HAVE owned both.

    Another exhuast question....

    I don't think I've seen any kits with 2.5" tips. They all have 3". Most of them only have 2.25" piping, though, and you really don't want pipes bigger than 2.25 or 2.5" anyway. So don't get the two confused. I know MAC makes a bolt-on kit that splits the y-pipe into two, out to two mufflers...

    Head Numbers?

    Not sure what you're asking for - part numbers? You're not planning on getting them from Ford, are you?? You'll pay through the ass. Just go to a wrecker and have a look. They don't organize them by part number anyway. They're organized by the vehicle they came off, so just look for heads...

    Any Good excuses to get out of a speeding ticket in court?

    No way dood, I own joo. :) 80 in a 35 here. Actually I'm in Canada, so it was 128 in a 60 .. same thing. Still pretty damn good, though. :) But you're right. I went in and said, look, I have no excuse. But I promise you that kind of speed is absolutely not indicative of my normal driving...

    Can I get a Gt Takeoff here

    Yeah yeah, no trading here, but... TAKE THIS GUY UP ON HIS OFFER!!! Not often you find a V8 guy wanting to swap bumpers with you.

    What Will The X pipe Do on Dual Exhaust?

    Yep, it's still true duals. What you want when you buy GT takeoffs is the part from the cats and back. It'll be two independent pipes, each one will look like this... Flange---->muffler------>tailpipe The basic reason for buying the GT takeoffs is that the piping is already there, and the...

    What Will The X pipe Do on Dual Exhaust?

    I'm saying check both and do whatever's cheaper. :) But I think you'll find that 99% of the time you can get a better price on mufflers and stuff like that if you look online than if you just walk into a shop. Check out the Classifieds section here on StangNet. You should be able to pick up a...

    Mustang 3.8L V6 2000

    Probably not the pulley but the belt. You can get belts from Autozone cheaply (30 bucks or less). If you feel like installing it yourself, it's not too bad. Otherwise an install at Ford shouldn't be too much money. You can inspect your current belt, and if it's in good shape (no cracks)...

    over heating problem

    Would this be a 94-95 model? Higher mileage (80K+)? Smells like the dreaded head gasket....

    What Will The X pipe Do on Dual Exhaust?

    675 is way too much. You can get a complete GT takeoff and have it installed for 300 easily. Then, if you're hell-bent on Flowmasters, buy them and just have them welded in afterward. Either way, it still won't come near 675. Check ebay or the for sale forums here for the flowmasters, and look...

    supercharger or turbocharger for v6?

    Neither is inherently more or less harmful than the other. A turbo at 20psi will be harder on the engine than a supercharger at 7. Conversely, a supercharger at 20psi will be harder than a turbo at 7. Both at 7psi, a turbo with an inadequate fuel delivery system will hurt way more than a...

    v6 rims

    I just bought Bullitts and have the stock 16" 5-spoke ones if you want em. I'm in Canada, though, so it's prolly cheaper for you to find em somwhere local.

    Oh My God....

    I can't believe that's real... but if it is... someone REALLY REALLY should email that guy and tell him not to drive his car. That's seriously dangerous injecting nitrous into the head like that. Who knows what could blow up and when...

    Gas Pedal Mod...

    Doubt it, unless it was already damaged anyway. You can't snap a steel cable like that. The tensile strength of one of those is huge.

    Gas Pedal Mod...

    I did that to mine last year .. made a huge difference. I'm average height (5'11" or so), and I found the raised position way more comfortable. And a bit safer, I didn't like it being so recessed compared to the brake pedal. Made it hard to move your foot to the brake quickly.

    US Regulations makes the rear bigger?

    The Big Three don't agree. GM and Ford are absolutely terrified of Toyota especially, as well as Nissan and Honda getting into the truck market. Toyota and Honda basically destroyed the car market for the Big Three, to the point that they continue to lose market share and are only now catching...
