    New rims means NEW PICS!!! "Darkness"

    Cuz i got no clue how to do that haha. There are one or 2 pics above that would work great for a photochop of the tails, but i need to find someone who's willing to do it.

    New rims means NEW PICS!!! "Darkness"

    Im running the Fuzions out front but have some BFG KDW II's out back for traction. Also, my old rims were 18x9 Chrome Cobra R's but i could never find the weight on those. Wish i could though so i could compare it to these, which seem lighter. Makes sense though, i would think a painted wheel...

    New rims means NEW PICS!!! "Darkness"

    THey dont look that stretched in real life to be honest and i really dont want to run a 265 out front. Those 245's are enough for me but next time around i'll be getting some 255's out front and 305's out back. BTW, i see what you guys mean about the contrast that the taillights bring out the...

    New rims means NEW PICS!!! "Darkness"

    Thanks guys. Im just glad its not like every other stang with Cobra R's. Now that i got these on, i get 10x the compliments I sued to and the best part about the rims 1.) They are 18x10 out back meaning the look wider and i can run a 305/35/18 out back as soon as these wear out 2.) They...

    New rims means NEW PICS!!! "Darkness"

    Well, i got these rims mounted about 2 weeks ago. Funny thing is i got them on special for $409 and then sold my Cobra R's for $350 the same day, so they cost me a whole $59! GOtta love living 8 miles away from WheelReplicas :nice: I didnt have time to wax the car or anything so i just...

    Quad Shocks Questions

    I have aftermarket Lakewood LCA's and still have my quad shocks. I really don't see what you gain by removing them. A whole 10lbs off the rear end by the tires where you probably want it anyways :shrug: . UNless of course you are trying to clear a ridiculously huge tire because i got no issues...

    Jumpy speedometer needle

    Hey guys and gals. This is defintely a new symptom for my car. Whenever im cruising VERY slowly (leaving from a stop to say 8mph), the speedo needle will sporatically jump very quickly to about 20-35mph and then drop again. Sometimes it does it in traffic and other times in a scenario like a...

    Does anyone have problems using Nitto 555R drag radials in the rain?

    Once again you post extremely useful info :rolleyes: I'm thinkin if she has drag radials she isnt looking for corner carving performance, and to say DR's suck makes no sense. How does extremely good dry traction with street driveability suck? BTW, I have BFG KDW II's and they are a...

    How many of you have Bassani's and are satisfied?

    I LOVE my Bassani Catback and UPR O/R X-Pipe. I had a bunch of videos of it posted up on here, maybe i can find them again. Can't wait to see how itll sound with Bassani Catback, Dr.Gas O/R X-Pipe, and BBK LT's :D

    4.6L 2v Bolt-On Record?

    Hey Cody, did you do your cams yourself as well? I plan on getting them at the end of the summer but have no one to help me install :nice: A few shops are asking about 350, which is reasonable but if i do it myself with a little bit of "help" :nice: i can spend the 350 towards a tune from Tim...

    4.6L 2v Bolt-On Record?

    True. Do full exhaust, a few intake mods, gears, sticky tires and possibly a better suspension setup and its 12's. I might put it to the test. 3.73's LT's X-Pipe Catback Plenum 75mm TB JLT RAI LCA's Adj Shocks/Struts VT Stage 1 cams MGW Short Throw Nitrous Express 100 wet shot...

    What STi stands for....for mustang guys

    A Boxer engine sounds pretty damn cool actually. And FWIW, a V6 mustang with exhaust sounds like a wet fart, not a Subaru

    Ball Joint/ Tie-Rod End Write-Up?

    I searched for a good 10-15 minutes for the write-up that i believe was posted in in 4.6 Tech a while back for replacing the ball joints and outer tie-rods. I have a Chilton manual but it talks about the ball joints being pressed in but i thought it could be done with a pickle fork and a BFH as...

    will these tires fit.

    Way too much tire and not enough rim at all. Stick with a 275 and you'll have less weight and more traction.

    What STi stands for....for mustang guys

    Okay, if you have to quote Evan Smith's times, its not even fair. He's better than 99.9% of Mustang drivers out there and its like me taking his 13.68@101 Mustang GT run and saying my car runs 13.6's stock. If he runs a 13.13 that means the average driver is running 13.4 or so. BTW, 6 times...

    What STi stands for....for mustang guys

    Yea man, the average driver doesnt run a 13.0 at all in a Mach1 man. Lets be serious here. The STi is a badass car and from a dig (if the STI dumps the clutch from a high rpm), you'll play catch-up for a bit. Add a few mods to the Mach and its a different story and from a roll the Mach1 has an...
