    Another Wheel Spacer Question.

    I can't imagine it being any "worse" than having wider rims, which basically do the same thing - push the wheels out to the edge of the wheel well. I haven't noticed any BIG difference in handling with my 10.5" rims, but my car feels a little bit better when taking corners hard. As for drag...

    Bad Clutch?

    No slipping in 5th for me either...

    Just got 3.55s

    Yeah you're right about the the "lower gears" thing. :D I was thinking in terms of numbers... But just to clarify, I would not get any gears that are a higher ratio (numerically lower) than 3.55s. $100 for axles, not bad at all.

    Widest Rear Tire

    Thanks for the tip, Paul. I haven't done any close measuring, I just guessed that 1/2" would do the trick. Guess I'll have to take a closer look before I get any spacers. I remember all those posts about your search for the perfect wheels. You obviously did your homework. Looks like a 1/4"...

    Just got 3.55s

    Well I have some good news and bad news... The good news is that I just had 3.55 gears installed this morning. They are exactly what I was looking for. There is a noticeable increase in SOTP feel, but I still have lots of gear for the highway (I drove it about 200 miles home from the shop...

    Bad Clutch?

    Okay, I have suspected that my clutch is going bad for a while now. Well today I ran the car from a stop with the window down, and on the 1-2 shift, the car doesn't surge ahead like it used to, no tire chirping either (and that's with 3.55s). Instead it just sort of drops rpms while slightly...

    Widest Rear Tire

    I have 315s and they rub when I hit bumps, etc. But they do not rub bad, just a couple small spots in the wheel well. I plan on getting 1/2" spacers to fix the problem and push the wheels out slightly. Even 10.5" rims have a very slight "tucked in" look. I think 275s (i have those on the...

    U Joint Replacement

    I'm pretty sure I have a bad U Joint. How much is this gonna cost for just the parts, and how much if I have a shop do it? From what I've heard it's not hard to fix - any pointers??? -josh

    Who here knows about front suspension

    My car does the exact same thing now. I just put on 17" cobra R wheels and 275 tires in the front. It never did it before with my old rims and 245 tires. I think the wider tires grip the road more and tend to follow the contours of the road a lot more. If you don't like it, you'll probably...

    What would be the consequences of my ignorance?

    I'm not positive, but I think the court will issue a warrant for your arrest. I dunno if the fine goes up or not. It probably depends on your county.

    I have alot of brake dive(do i need struts?)

    Springs will help reduce brake dive. You might as well get new springs and struts/shocks if ur suspension is all stock. FMS C springs are cheap, so are Eibach pro kit springs.

    what happened to Gwen Stefani?

    Yeah, what happened to the good old days of music?? LOL I never thought I'd say that... But yeah, she's still hot.

    How would these wheels look?

    Those are gonna be a beyotch to clean...all those rivet things. Yikes!! They'll look good on a 'stang though, especially since you've got springs. 18's look like crap if your car isn't lowered.

    Finally getting the 'stang out

    Yeah I put in fuel stabilizer, put it on jackstands, FORGOT to disconnect the battery so now I need a new one, it won't charge for crap... Oh man I can hardly wait. I miss that neck-snapping acceleration when ur cruising at about 25 mph in 1st gear and just floor it. The car needs a tune...

    Finally getting the 'stang out

    Well it's been over 18 months since I've driven the 'stang. I always put it in storage during the winter, and last summer I didn't have enough money to put insurance on my car due to various other expenses, mostly college summer classes. But yesterday I called the insurance company and dropped...

    Chrome peeling on chrome wheels???

    Even when they do start peeling (which my old ones did), it usually doesn't look THAT bad unless you enter a lot of car shows. Most people couldn't tell my wheels were peeling-i had to point it out to them. And they didn't peel much at ALL in three years' worth of driving (maybe 1/2" square)...
