    Diy Or Pay To Have It Done?

    I always find DIYing much more personally satisfying...anybody with a credit card can pay to have something done. OTOH, exhaust work is a PITA without a lift ;)

    Sick Of Being Made Fun Of With My V6

    and there will always be somebody telling you not to attempt a project... Having said that, it sounds like you are pretty new to working on cars and the swap you are thinking about isn't going to be very straight forward. It probably isn't a get place to start unless you have something else for...

    2000 Cobra R Overheating

    start with the basics; bad t-stat, bad hoses (collapsing internally) or a plugged, dirty radiator.

    Any Cali 4.6 Drivers On Here? I Have A Few Questions

    the laws may have changed, it is California after all, but it used to be that the exhaust had to exit behind the rear of the doors. The Saleen, Roush and CDC side exhausts were Cal legal when they came out...but the rules seem to change frequently. Last time the smog check guy gave me crap for...

    Turbo Hp??

    still get plenty of the "don't [fill in the name of mod in question] just buy a [name of some other Mustang model or car], it would be cheaper" ...I guess nobody wants to work on cars for the enjoyment and challenge of it?

    Help A Girl Out!

    I vote for the IAC too... It could conceivibly be a battery going bad, that can cause all sorts of weird idling and running issues...but I'd definitely start with the leak in the intake (a pic would help ID that possible issue) and the IAC.

    Changing Front Oxygen Sensors

    It has been a few years, and I don't remember any unusual issues. I just used an O2 sensor wrench, a regular wrench or socket won't work.

    17" Wheels On 98 Mustang Gt???

    I see SN95s (both Aero and New Edge) with S197 wheels all too frequently (even once on a Ranger)...they fit and work, but look TERRIBLE

    2000 Mustang Gt Clutch Or Tranny Issue Please Help

    don't know for certian, but it sure sounds like it is a mechanical, internal problem...but diagnosing over the internetz it's a pretty iffy proposition. the throw-out bearing is probably chirping, but they all do that

    2000 Mustang Gt Clutch Or Tranny Issue Please Help

    I use Royal Purple Syncromesh, and my trans has almost 250,000 miles on it now...but I don't think that fluid is the problem either. Unless you are totally out of fluid and things have started seizing up you should still be able to get it out of gear. It seems like maybe the shifter/shift rail...

    2000 Mustang Gt Clutch Or Tranny Issue Please Help

    I really doubt the problem is the clutch...you should be able to easily shift out of gear with the clutch fully engaged by just letting off the throttle...if you can't get it out of gear then something internal is not right.

    What Do You Hate The Most About Your Mustang?

    I hate that it doesn't fly like Doc Brown's DeLoren... I can't say I hate anything about it...I'm annoyed the passenger seat sits higher than the drivers seat, and that the steering wheel doesn't telescope...oh wait, I hate that the sun visors in convertibles are CRAP and nobody makes a...

    Let's Try This: Your 1st Trip Down The Dragstrip

    It was the early 80 at Riverside Raceway (moment of silence......). I had a 65 Mustang fastback with a heavily massaged 351 Cleveland with an auto and a "high stall" converter...when we got there I uncorked it and when I fired it up it drew a pretty good crowd, nothing sounds like a cammed...
