    cold air intake help!

    A 5.0 is a 5.0, a CAI is gonna do the same thing on them, whether it's a Fox or SN95. FWIW, I had a BBK CAI on mine for a while, I loved it. The only reason I got rid of it was because my stock maf took a dump on me, and I switched to a Pro-M.

    This is what happens when you don't change your oil!

    One of the mechanics bought a broken generator from a guy, planning on rebuilding it. It's a 16hp Briggs and Stratton V-twin. The guy didn't know what was wrong with it, it just quit one day. So him and I took the motor off the generator, and pulled the crankcase cover off, and this is what we...

    cold air intake help!

    You got the one with the 19lb injector sample tube right? Those C&L's are notorious for being real finicky, and sometimes guys' stangs won't even run right with them (like mine). But if you got one with a different sample tube, then it won't run worth a crap. BBK makes a decent CAI, but...

    130 amp to a 200 Amp alternator

    Lots of guys run nice stereo systems like Aaron mentioned. Others use underdrive pulleys, which with the factory alternator a lot of times causes discharging at idle (especially at night if you have your headlights on and your stereo, a/c etc.). My 200amp alt. doesn't have any problems at idle...

    Starter gone bad I think

    Mine actually ended up being the main ground was loose. Might wanna check that REAL good first if you're having hot start issues. I checked mine, and it was tight, but not tight enough. It's gotta be TIGHT!

    Won't hurt anything, unless you end up running into the garage door for some reason. :p

    LCA's vs UCA's- Edjimicate me!!

    The lowers are the most important for drag racing, uppers more for auto-x. You could just do some lowers and replace the bushings in the uppers, a lot of guys do that. I replaced both on mine however.

    high pitch squeal on start up

    When I took my smog equipment off, I put a belt on that was too tight. It squealed on start up EVERY time! I put on a little longer belt, and it went away. So I'm gonna vote that it's the belt.

    What's up?!?!

    We get a lot of used tires that we take off of cars that come into the dealership. A lot of them are still in very good condition. Some are almost brand new. My boss told me I could have any tires I wanted, but we don't get a whole lot of mustangs in, so I haven't got any yet. Wow, 212??! I...

    Blinkers

    Could be your multi-function (turn signal) switch. When mine went out, my brake lights and turn signals all stopped working.

    Yes I just got it about a month ago. It's a BLAST! I LOVE going through the curves out where I live. Back roads are great for supersports. :banana: Yea, I can definitely see me getting into trouble on this thing though. It's a 2003. It has a Micron slip-on can, some cheapo flushmount turn...
