    car is taller on one side

    Search through some old posts. I don't know why it is..but some mustangs seem to have that problem although I've seen most complaints after aftermarket suspension upgrades. There should be several old threads about this you can look through. Good Luck.

    Tested Compression....thoughts?

    How would those numbers fair in terms of strappin on a blower (over the next couple of years...probably at 180K miles on the shortblock)....the build up i'm planning would net about 450hp (flywheel) or atleast that's where I'm gonna try to cap my limit w/ a stock block for safe reliability...

    Tested Compression....thoughts?

    Thanks for the info on my remote starter...turns out I just misread the directions. In any case, I got the compression tested. As some of you may no from another post of mine, I'm trying to decide between a build up from scratch..or go ahead an continue using my current shortblock (165K...

    Engine build-up....I have a delimma

    I"m not lookin' for a new preassembled short block...if I do it myself I'll find a used one...have it fluxed and cleaned..then i'd take it, hone it and assemble it myself. I just don't know if it's really gonna be all that necessary if my current shortblock is better than I want to give it...

    Engine build-up....I have a delimma

    Ok...I'm a college kid workin' on a slim budget here so keep that in mind. My car is a 91 LX 5.0. I've had a T-5 swap and full exhaust and that's pretty much it for mods. The motor has 165K miles on it. I've had the car since it had 83K...about half the cars life. As far as I can tell the...

    Another Kill Switch Question

    I didn't want to jump the last thread because I have a very specific kill switch design I'm trying to plan and want to make it as effective as possible. Here's my idea. I don't use my rear defrost (only three or four rows work). So I want to rig this bad boy up so that you have to turn the...

    Lights dimming!!!!! damn it

    It's drain on the current. If you have a stock alternator like mine..it does it all the time...i watch the current drop in sync w/ my turn signal...sigh... it's not an issue until your car takes a couple tries to crank..(weak battery from not gettin' charged fully by the crappy...

    Bad idle after headlight install (WTF)

    When you removed the airbox did you mess/adust with or remove your air-flow sensor? did anything get into your meter that could be blocking the sampling tube a small piece of dirt or paper could cause a bad reading?...that's the only electrical component near the airbox so I'd start there and...

    H-pipe stuck...any ideas?

    thanks for the tips guys...as of yet I"m still stuck. However, my friend is coming home (i'm doing the work at his house) and when he's here I'm gonna get him to help me give it a few yanks and then if that still doesn't work I'll have him break out his torch. Hopefully I can get it off...
