    NBC unveils new KITT Ford Mustang

    Apparently, Michael Knight has ditched his trans-am in favor of a mustang for NBC's made for tv movie "Knight Rider." Personally, I don't know what they were thinking when they designed this mustang. The bodywork and odd dual wings are incredibly gawky. About the only nice thing I can say about...

    front wheel scrub, can i have them machined?

    I got 15x7 torque thrust II's all around about a year ago, and i think they may have suggested the wrong backspacing for me. the wheels scrubbed a bit, so i rolled the fender lip and did the shelby drop, which helped i great deal. i've noticed that there is a bit of room behind the wheel, and...

    engine won't idle! please help

    i have a 66 with a 289 v8. i've never had any problems with the engine running before. i left it sitting for 3 months or more, and now it will start fine and run ok with some throttle, but won't idle (it kind of jumps between 700 and 50 rpm and then dies). could it be that the fuel has gone bad...

    Flywheel: Steel vs Aluminum

    I found a really good deal on an aluminum flywheel for my upcoming T5 conversion. I have a 289 thats stock right now and won't see drastic upgrades. I also use my car as a daily driver. Is the aluminum up to the task? or will the steel outlast it?

I discovered that the wires leading to the neutral safety switch were in contact with the exhaust and may have been damaged, i'm thinking this might be causing the starting problem, as i have checked everything else. Is it ok to...

    Air trapped in cooling system

    I'm having a strange gurggling noise when I first start up my car. It goes away almost completely after warmed up. Sounds like rushing water. I'm sure its air trapped in the coolant system because I just replaced the radiator and the coolant. I am also experiencing some mild overheating issues...

    Fuel Tank Gauge

    I'm having a problem with my fuel gauge. Whenever I fill up my tank, the gauge only reads half full. The gauge goes all the way to empty after about 100 miles, and then I have no idea how much gas is in the tank. I know its not the sending unit, I bought a new one to test it, and it does the...

    Tire rubbing

    I just bought some 15x7 torq thrust II's with BFG radial t/a's, and the look AMAZING. The only problem: the fronts are rubbing the fenders. They rub pretty good on dips and quick bumps, especially when i have passengers. Has anyone had this problem and how did they solve it? I'm thinking about...
