    Buyer beware

    That's pretty terrible. The shop that painted and installed my saleen sideskirts use a really cheap double sided tape, but I reinstalled them with 3M trim tape or whatever and it's holding up really well. That goo looks like it's going to be a pain to get off whenever that lip eventually...

    Auto trans stalls in gears

    Could be alot of things. I would just reset the eec by unhooking the battery and seeing if it continues. Then I would check for vacuum leaks. Then I would do voltage tests on all the sensors. Then I would check compression on each cylinder. Then I would check for exhaust...

    **Finally some decent pics with the 00R hood**

    May just be me, but I think a "fat" spoiler like the s351 wing would compliment the front end of your car really well since the back half looks a bit unproportional to the front with the lower front bumper and cowled hood ;) But it'd probably be a pita getting a trunklid with the 3rd brake...

    doing the 351 swap

    Someone awhile back told me that KB doesn't make a blower that will breathe well with a 408, and that it'd be best to go with a centrifugal supercharger.

    another heat extractor hood

    Looks kinda like the hood from the 99-04 S281 Extremes.

    Just for fun

    Yeah. I know the 94-95s are nearly impossible to find. Just everytime I see a white saleen with white wheels, I get penis envy. I do agree that the side stripes set off the white wheels. I'll probably end up keeping the ultra lites and spending the money on mechanical upgrades. Man...

    Coil-over noises

    I just went what they sent me, and I don't remember if they sent me a 14" or 10" spring. I told the guy at MM I wanted to ultimately lower the car about 2" so I figured he'd set me up. I checked out my ball joints and the sleeves that cover them are ripped so I betcha they're dry. Just...

    Coil-over noises

    Just like whenever i'm back my car out of a parking spot or turning at a red light. As I turn the wheel, I hear a creaking/popping sound. I don't hear it at all if I only turn the wheel slightly like going around a curve over changing lanes. I'll check out the ball joints.

    I really like the 94-95 saleen wheels. I don't care much for the 96-04 wheels since they have a bit of a ridge. This smoothness of the 94-95s is very nice. As far as color is concerned, I suppose I could buy one wheel and if the color doesn't match I could always sell it on ebay for close...

    Coil-over noises

    nm. I guess you would have to get some adjustable ends to prevent the binding ;) Guess I'll go with MM adj. ends. :)

    Did you go with stock replacements? Or ends from MM or Steeda? or..?

    Coil-over noises

    If I don't have it fixed before then, I'll post up some pics around Thanksgiving. I haven't ruled out the tie-rod ends popping. What would cause that? Too tight? Too loose? Bad ends? And yes MM is very helpful. I called them about 20 times during the installation everytime I had a slight...

    Coil-over noises

    Yep. Tie-rod ends wouldn't scrape the paint off the inside of the spring ;)

    Fun with emblems...

    If this is any consolation, Saleen offered the S351 in 1999 and I believe they used base model Mustangs. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have to swap out the K-member either. Alot of work? Definitely. Worth it? Totally. Unless you would rather have the real thing for collector and resale value.

    Coil-over noises

    To get the ride height that I want, I have the bottom perch pretty close to the bottom of the sleeve. The upper perch is non-adjustable since it sits on top of the strut body. I was hoping the guy with the Roush wheels would chime in. I think he has the same set up. I know a few other guys...

    Coil-over noises

    I took a bit of an inspection at the sleeves just a bit ago. It seems as if the springs are rubbing on the sleeve because it looks like the paint has been scratched off on the inside of the spring. I can't really get a decent look at it since I'm at school and away from my tools until...

    Coil-over noises

    I got the MM kit awhile back. Well, I noticed a creaking/pop sound when turning, which I would assume is the springs binded on the perches then "popping" into place when they are twisted so much. So the question is... Does anyone have a remedy for this? It's not really as much of a...

    My most recent project:

    Pretty good stuff. Kinda sucks installing the panhard bar with only jackstands. Would've been worlds easier with a lift.

    I'm considering buying new wheels. Primarily because the ultra-lites don't come in 18x10. So I thought I'd see what you guys think. Well, I was going to make this a poll, but I screwed it up. So basically I'm either sticking with the Ultra-lites or getting white Saleen's. Only problem...
