    Interior and Upholstery Door Speakers- found suggestion to go component, not coaxial

    These are the ones i have. Honestly, I'm not sure they sound any better than the stock speakers i had in the dash with sonys in the doors. We will soon see how they work with an amp, i have the car wired up now for a 5 channel 50x4 RMS and 500x1 for the sub. Just have to swap over to the RCA...

    Interior and Upholstery Door Speakers- found suggestion to go component, not coaxial

    I used component Rockord 6 inch in the doors with the tweeters in the dash. No trimming and i used this backstrap stuff to mount the tweeters in the dash. If the car has an exhaust system on it, i'm not sure it really matters what you do if you don't either have a really powerful head unit or...

    Need a clutch, 1982 Capri RS 5.0 owner, am I allowed to participate?

    I had quite a few clutches. My all time favorite was a centerforce pressure plate with a motorsport disc.

    Wheels-Tires 04 Mustang Wheels won't sit against rotor

    96+ are worth pretty much nothing. I have a one that i purchased to mach up 14in brakes, cost $75 shipped (and i made no effort to find it cheaper). If they gave them away for free i bet they would still have some left over considering it's a 9 year run. Most modern junk yards are more aware...

    Wheels-Tires 04 Mustang Wheels won't sit against rotor

    That is not a good reference for pricing for 94/95 spindles, it's an anomaly. I think you should plan on $250 for a set. Yes, there are deals somewhere on anything and everything, but you should at least plan on paying the market rate and be thrilled when you don't have to. Car-parts which i...

    Coyote Swap on a 1991 Fox Vert

    Pump stayed running

    I used to have a relay that I had to knock because the pump stayed on. Key on or off? I don't remember. On a 1990 it's under the drivers seat so it was easy. I would just reach under and knock it on something.

    Tailpipes under a Fox GT Bumper?

    Those of us that have been foxbody guys for 30 years+ have seen it all when it comes to this topic. Some notes: A Saleen rear bumper does not look right on a gt. The side skirts are different. Cutting holes in a gt rear bumper is a great way to force yourself to buy a cobra valence. Gt tail...

    Suspension What about these Subframes

    Nothing wrong with that, but every time you take a seat bolt out, they are going to fall off. I was tired of it happening. I'm 6'1, so any work in the front interior is easier by removing the seat. The added bonus too is that you never have to deal with getting past the carpet with the bolt...

    Suspension What about these Subframes

    I made this post a while back in a another thread "So i turned the rear bolts into studs. The factory bolts will work, but it's really close with the thickness of the carpet, when you put them in from the top, you can crank them down and crush the carpet and padding get the threads you need on...

    Coyote Swap on a 1991 Fox Vert

    I don't typically mind emissions rules. But preventing people from using newer cleaner powerplants makes no sense. My car passed nj emission standards (when we had them for 95 and older cars) with no cats and a terminator swap.

    Digital Tuning Chip tuning in 2025, what are my options?

    The X cam has been around longer than pretty much any tuning device. I've had a handful of heads/cams/intakes/Throttle bodies and meters. One cam i ran on my stock shortblock was really aggressive, idled fine, made a ton up top, very little down low and required notching the pistons with the...

    Anyone have a car lift in a garage?

    I have an 11'2 ceiling and a bendpak hd7p and it's good enough for my mustang and for me to walk under the car the entire winter without ducking (i'm 6'1). If i were to lose 2ft i'd probably switch to a 2 post or a scissors style (i'd recess that in the floor). Not sure if i would use a...

    Digital Tuning Chip tuning in 2025, what are my options?

    I've seen the mildest to wildest cars idle just fine on the stock computer. You have a mechanical problem.

    85 GT intermittent miss at highway speed

    Maybe, but i'm not so sure in my entire life replacing a spark plug on any type of engine has ever fixed anything.

    Fox body - godzilla, coyote, or 408w stroker - Best route for budget build?

    I think everyone has their preference and nobody is right or wrong. For me, i'd say i'm in the coyote camp, especially since you have a blank slate. With that said, there is a video out there of a Mercedes Evo replica with a twin turbo ecoboost v6 in it. An awesome setup and kinda opened my eyes...

    85 GT intermittent miss at highway speed

    I had this issue back in the day, drove me nuts. It was the spark plug wires.

    Suspension What about these Subframes

    That is an understatement. Saving a buck for me these days means buying the best product at the cheapest price. In this case they get welded in. Not exactly something you want to do twice. Bolt isn't really an option (i don't care what ads say). When aero says they will loosen up, i'm sure...

    Progress Thread severe97's Project Thread!

    My comment wasn't really meant to insult. I had a big tach with a shift light, which I found pointless, shrunk it to a big shift light that took a pill, then I got a smaller one and realized I'm not driving on a race track or even racing anyone. I can shift drive by sound and feel. And the...

    For gauge locations, Not the pillar, they look ridiculous. Not in the vents, block too much air. I've done both and consider both mistakes. Under the radio is the cleanest look. With that said, when I get up the courage to drop $1500+extras on the rtx factory style Dakota digital cluster...
