    help me remove my struts

    PB Blaster would have worked wonders. I had the exact same problem when I did mind. Tried forever with my buddy to get the bolt to break loose. Had no impac gun at the time. Went and bought some PB Blaster. Soked the bolt a couple times and it broke loose immediately. Great stuff! Never use...

    Got an '04 Cobra rear bumper, how to get inserts off?

    You still have to take out the inserts before filling them and painting. Don't want to have them under the new paint.

    Lowering your car by cutting the stock springs

    Just sell the ones you bought and don't like on EBay and pick up lower ones like H&Rs or Eibach Sportlines and be done with it. No guess work and should work better. Just make sure you buy some C&C Plates. You will definitely need them if you don't have them already. Otherwise gonna burn your...

    I Need Help Deciding On Tires!

    I am happy with my Toyo's (size and description in signature). Next time I will go 315 out back. I have always been a firm lover of Nitto's, however when I went to look for the size I wanted in the back, I could not really find anything that was not a Drag Radial. Does Nitto make regular 555ZRs...

    Deep Dish Owners...................

    You can see what I am running from my signature. I also have 18's instead of 17's. I went 295s out back, but wish I went 305 or 315. I'll burn them up soon enough and go a little bigger. I could stand to do so up front as well or get a different tire that has more bulge to protect my rims. I...

    Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)

    Yeah, they can be a pain to get off. They use lock-tite on those screws. I had to cut mine off due to the screws striping.

    Friends car, disapointed track day

    I know this probably not help much, but what do you think of using some Seafoam in the engine to clean it up and out a bit? He does have like 70K miles on it? I have heard this could be good. Never tried it

    5.4L Supercharged '04 Mustang

    I believe the guys at www.x-m-p.com did it. Last time I was there I saw the engine, they just hadn't put it in yet. It as been awhile, so I would assume it is complete.

    plenum problem

    This may not even be it and it may only be a coincidence to the plenum change, but have you changed your fuel filter recently or ever? The only reason I thought of this is because you said the car drove fine on the street, but then started sputtering again when you pulled into your driveway and...

    295 tires

    You can get some 295/35/18s Toyo Proxes TS-1s from OnlineTires.com for $207 each. They are a good tire with good traction and the treadwear score is 280 versus any drag radial which is usally like 100. Drag radials are softer so they can hook up better when racing but will wear out fast. The...

    Tires for 18/9 and 18/10 rims

    I just got mine on with 265/35/18 and 295/35/18. It looks great. I would not got any bigger on the front, but you could go bigger on the back. 315s. You may want to consider that the lip of the tire does not stick out much, if at all, so curb rash is a possibility. So careful.

    Newbie' first question

    Installing Accufab TB...question...

    I had to grind mine down and a grinder wheel to take off the head of the screw. Probably not the best way, but it worked. Had to be careful not to destroy the sensor.

    California Emissions Questions

    You should be fine since you are in the military. My father was in the military and had Florida plates for years before switching to CA plates, so registration was not an issue. Plus, if you can prove residence in another state, you can register there. A friend of mine has Nevada plates and laws...

    Biggest Tires that are not Drag Radials

    Hey thanks guys. Good info. My rims are only 10" not 10.5". So it looks like I will go with the 295/35/18 Kuhmo MX. Seems like the best deal. May move up to 315/30/18, but would have to find a different manufacturer. I am thinking that since I need them mounted, I will just see what a...

    Biggest Tires that are not Drag Radials

    Need some advice. I know that there are tons of threads about tires and rims, however I have seen nothing about what I am looking to find out. I have some new 18X10 Deep Dish Chrome Bullitt rims and I need to see what kind of tire I can get that is not a drag radial. I see that Nitto has 295s...
