    bought and Escort 8500 x50

    My radar detector sits just below the rear-view mirror. I have it hard wired (wires run along the hood liner, down the A-pillar, into the fusebox) in the fuse box on the same circuit as the radio. All I did was strip off about 1/2inch of insulation from the power wire, folded it over the radio...

    Powdercoat question...

    Does anyone know if you can Powerdercoat over Ceramicoat? I had my K&N Typhoon intake (like the FIPK except with a metal tube b/t TB and MAF) ceramicoated silver and now I want it to be a different color.

    Raptor Peformance Shift Light

    I have one. I bought mine directly from RaptorPerformance.com. I got the Black housing with Red LED's. The install is super easy. I installed mine at the track between runs, I think it took me 30min. I put mine on the A-pillar right at eye-level. Here's a couple pics:

    so are you saying the 275/50/15's are too much for my set-up?

    15" or 17" Drag Radials...which size?

    I forgot about the ET Streets. Is the 26x10.5/15 the best size for the 2v? What size rim should those be mounted on, 15x8 or 15x10? Seeing that I'm staying N/A for a while and I have 4.10's and a few other little mods, I want the best tire for the set-up that I have.

    15" or 17" Drag Radials...which size?

    I'm going to be getting some Drag Radials here soon for next year's drag race season. I need your input on what size to get. I currently have 17x9 and 17x10.5 Black Bullitts for my street tires. The only time the Drag Radials will be on is driving to and from the track. So...which direction...

    diff between 96-98 and 99-04 Magnaflow Cat-back?

    The Magnaflow cat-back will fit fine. I put a Magnaflow cat-back that was made for the 99-04's on my old 98. The only difference between the 97 and 03 is that on the 03, there is an addtional hanger on the muffler and the hangers on the tips are different. This is not a problem. The cool thing...

    10.5" vs 11" clutch/flywheel, which one???

    Through the research I've done here, it is highly suggested to get a new flywheel. I don't want an aluminum flywheel, but I am debating between a new stock flywheel or a Billet Steel flywheel from Spec or other manufacturer.

    10.5" vs 11" clutch/flywheel, which one???

    What is the benefit from going from a 11" flywheel/clutch to a 10.5"??? I need a new clutch, so while I'm at it, I'm going to get a new flywheel. So should I stay at 11" or drop down to 10.5". BTW, my car sees the drag strip about 10-15 times a year and I drive it pretty hard. Thanks for...

    Flywheel help...

    I need a new clutch in my '02. I am buying a McLeod Stage II clutch, 11", organic face. Through the research that I have done it is suggested to get a new flywheel while replacing the clutch, so I am. I don't want to get aluminum, so I am going to stay steel. My question is...is there any...

    Clutch problems...smells and adjusts

    ^^^STVTTech76 Thanks for your help. Why did you suggest a STOCK flywheel? Is it better staying stock rather than getting aftermarket billet (aluminum or steel) flywheel?

    Clutch problems...smells and adjusts

    I need Stangnet's expertise on my clutch problem... I have a 2002 GT w/ 53000 miles on it. I have been racing it all summer at the local drag strip. 2 weeks ago I got new tires, so I took the old ones and did burnouts with them. After doing a couple bunouts, immediately I had, what I thought...

    Clutch automatically adjusted...now too high

    I was out Friday night doing some burnouts with a set of old tires. After I was done I noticed the clutch pedal now grabs way up high. All I have to do is push down on the clutch about 2" and the clutch disengages. Before, the cluch disengaged about 1/2 way to the floor. How can I set the...

    What works better in wet? Wet Tires or Snow Tires?

    I am a huge advocate for getting snow tires, if you drive even a little in snow. It took me only 5 years of worrying about when it was going to snow and sliding around when I finally got some. When I had my Blizzaks on my stock rims (245/45/17, I had to keep the 17's on b/c of the 13" Bullitt...
