    M-2005-FR3 Handling Pack opinions

    Ok ok ok :flag: I give, to each his own. I've been building cars, trucks and motorcycles for about 30 years.. and ya, I am to the point, I'm a bit picky.. Some things are important to some, and not to others. No big deal to me. Thanks for the discussion, no hard feelings. In 12-18 months, I'll...

    Okay, how do I stop my hood from flying off?

    No offense. but... I drive my S197 70-85mph daily for 60 miles or so,, No hood movement at all (car built 26 June 05). I drive this car at 90-125 monthly at least.. still no hood movement that I can notice while driving. There must be something different with some cars that allow some hoods to...

    M-2005-FR3 Handling Pack opinions

    Your right,, and as long as close enough is good enough for you,, It should be fine. Each car that comes off the line is different, what works for one, may not be "fine" for another. I think most on a performance oriented site like this one would prefer not to drive a vehicle that moves...

    Warranty void?

    http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/warranty.htm Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Bottom-line a warranty is only as good as your servicing dealer. Second to last line :lol: If the aftermarket part can be attributed to the failure of an otherwise warranted part, a warranty claim...

    M-2005-FR3 Handling Pack opinions

    As the rear has no alignment capability built in... and the OEM specs on what is acceptable out of the factory door is wide. You could be ok when you drop the rear, or you could be off. . No matter what, when you lower the rear,, it will move the axle to the side. If your ok with driving down...

    My Blank Canvas...pics

    Very true, you seem to have a handle on that concept :rolleyes: Not very often is a car, just transportation. More often, it is a canvas, a tool for expression, for some it is an art form. Right for one, is not for another. No big deal.. Like it, don’t like it.. But anyone thinking they...

    Finally gave my son his new car.

    In order of OEM Mustang wheels I dislike the most, it's the V6 wheels, then the Premium GT wheels.. I think the S197 NEEDS a Bullitt style wheel.. But I have seen some others that spark interest. Deep dish Bullitts are what I have my eye on for now... But I have 12-18 months to think about...

    Wheel Help?

    Still more then I would pay But $465 for an 18x10 is not nearly the price you seemed to have found. :shrug: Maybe I'm looking at a different wheel? Bonspeed Delta Billet Wheels?

    Finally gave my son his new car.

    My son thinks he is lucky because we ride dirt bikes, he has a 1 year old bike now, and will get another this coming year. I do, because I can. My Mother could not for me... I am happy I can. Nothing wrong with it as long as values are taught along side the giving. Very cool car, very cool...

    Any thoughts on the 07 Grabber Yellow?

    LOL,, Nice catch.. Ohh, wait,, yes we knew that, from about 20 :D posts back :D Simple mistake, pointed out several days ago. As for the color..... It has to grow on you.. and IMHO, is one of the base colors that must be added to. It is not a stand alone car color. For me... It's have to...

    Dyno Consistency Technical Question

    Of course your correct,, driver, set up, lane choice, ect all play into it. My point in that sentence was not meant to be literal.. Racers find out who is best on the track, bench racing (with I'm faster because my dyno sheet says so) is a enjoyable pass time for some, but much removed from...

    Dyno Consistency Technical Question

    Your question, the answers, are the reason people interested in finding out who has more HP, race on the drag strip, and not on the dyno. There are to many variables, those mentioned, plus the operator them self, and temp, atmosphere, hundreds of possible settings between the dyno and vehicle...

    OMG...how do you change the fog lights?

    It's looks in written form much harder then it is. You can have the grill out in just 2 or 3 minutes... and then the fog lights are right there in the open for you to work on.... No squirming your hand in-between the grill and rad, no working in a spot you can only feel, not see. It really is...

    Rear bumper cover

    They finally got the paint right.. try #4.. The bumper cover is only their fault if they admit backing it into something (at this point what I think happened) I found the spot on their property where I think it happened.....but it is not worth it at this point. I deploy to Iraq in a few weeks...
