    What is loose? Torque steer?!

    I know the crab walk feeling that you're talking about. It's pretty scary at times! That's why I bought these bad boys!

    Pulled over again!!!

    Dan Millen drives his Outlaw Mustang to Burger King I've seen stuff like that happen near me, and I'm 20 minutes west of Detroit. The city isn't THAT bad, but it's not great by any means either. Maybe I'm just used to it. I've been busted driving without a hood on the freeway, and the cop...

    Where's anti-theft controller module located?

    Key FOBS are the door lock/unlock and trunk release remotes. I just had to program new ones for my car and I had read somewhere on the 'net that the module for them was back there.

    Where's anti-theft controller module located?

    Don't quote me on this, but I believe the module that's on the driver's side in the trunk is just for the Key FOBs. I thought all of the anti-theft stuff was done from inside the instrument cluster, but I could be wrong.

    HELP b16 swap help?!?!

    The downstream oxygen sensors are only there to let the computer know the condition and/or presence of your catalytic converters. Anything idle related would be due to the front two sensors.

    Ebay tail-light tint, what a pain

    This is what I've done on all of mine as well, and I've only had a problem when washing the car with the pressure washer at the pay-n-spray. You just have to spray past them fast. It helps to have a mix of No More Tears shampoo and water in a spray bottle to hose everything down, a blowdryer...

    HELP b16 swap help?!?!

    See, that's not the first time I've heard that but I don't smell it in my car. My previous car had an offroad X pipe, and I didn't smell it either. I even have 3" dumps before my rear axle and I still don't smell it. MAYBE a quick smell of unburnt fuel at a red light in heavy traffic, but...

    rim clearance

    Thanks :nice: I'm tinted 5% all around. In Michigan, it's illegal to have ANY tint on the front door glass, but I've only been bothered once about it and I sort of had it coming. My radar detector usually lets me know when to roll my windows down, and if I do get pulled over I will have both...

    rim clearance

    I'm lowered an unknown amount, but it's a lot. The rears are 10.5" wide rims wearing 335/35/17s. I fit 315s before with no issues at all. I also have 9" wide rims in the front with 275/40/17s, and it tramlines pretty hard and rubs the swaybar at full lock. It's never really bothered me, but...

    Going to the track next week... results! 13.501 @ 103.75

    Man, it took me quite a few tries before I did my suspension to hit 13.3 WITH 315 BF Goodrich Drag Radials. I tried launching at the track ONCE with Sumitomo 315s, and I cut a 2.1 60 foot and ran a 13.8, if I remember correctly. Good luck on those tires!

    You want wide? IVE GOT YOUR WIDE!

    Now I know what the next tire size will be for my car! :jaw: 335s just aren't enough for me anymore.

    hey srthandz

    Oh yeah, I have a PC 7424 and a boatload of pads. I've done some amazing stuff with it, but there are some deep imperfections that I just can't quite get with it. I had already been looking at buying a rotary, and $30 is perfect.

    hey srthandz

    +1 on this. I learned a TON on Autopia. How do you like that Chicago Electric rotary? I've been considering getting one, and that one's priced right!

    13.7 in lightly modded 2v

    It's ok, man :nice: It's hard to express things over the internet sometimes, and I ended up going out for a few drinks after work so I wasn't sure if it came off all booze-mouthed.

    13.7 in lightly modded 2v

    It's true, I was never saying you were cheating... I was just stating what I've observed and others that raced with me agreed. Not trying to start anything here, jeez. Have a beer.

    13.7 in lightly modded 2v

    Heh, Dragway 42... The "Cheater Strip". All of the strips I've been to in Ohio with friends, we always ran faster at 42. The track is slightly downhill, so everyone goes there for their 'bragging times'. Last time I was there, they had a huge pothole in the middle of the runoff lane that my...

    What do you guys think?

    Do it! Although, I've seen some flat blacks come out more like gray. Try it first and see if you like it. If not, there's lots of other options.

    What do you guys think?

    I would consider doing the opposite of that and paint the grille black, and get another chrome horse for it.

    Question on Magnaflow Exhaust Mod idea???

    If you want nice sounds, I would forgo the cherry bomb route and go for some 'packs or a straight through muffler. There's lots of options out there, just pick what you think is the best sounding. I searched around on Youtube for Mustang Exhaust and listened to a lot of videos before I went...
