    Hood Pins???

    Great! :rolleyes: I have known alot of guys who had their hoods fly up, but did not know it was that common if you had a fiberglass hood! I am about to buy one from Cirvini's and was hoping to avoid getting the pins, but looks like I will just in case. I always hated the way they look, and...

    Widest size tires on 17 x 9 Cobra R's

    I have 17 x 9" '03 Cobra wheels on my '93 LX. I HAD to pull out the quads just to get the RIM to clear, much less the tire! There is plenty of room for the tailpipes even with 295's. Anyway, I run 245/ 40 17's right now, but have seen and will have 295's on the rear. A 9" rim is plenty...

    Maybe see one soon.........?

    I agree with Ron. I may not be as informed as some here, but EVERYTHING I have read/ heard points to a spring '04 release date. I would expect my local dealer to have one around March, judging by their track record on these matters, despite what the salesman told me. I have to go into the...

    Bullitt whos selling a DHG bullitt?

    I am just starting to watch the pricing on these cars. I have a really nice '93 LX right now that I WILL be keeping, but wanna buy a Bullit. Was gonna do it for Christmas, but ended up getting a more practicle vehicle instead ('04 Explorer XLT). That means the Bullit will just have to wait...

    Gear Heads might find this interesting??

    Those cars were annivversary editions, right? White with gold trim? I remember they WERE pretty quick. Harder to find than a GN, but not quite as valuable as a GNX. Nice, either way. :nice:

    Maybe see one soon.........?

    Last week I bought an '04 Explorer XLT. Love it, really nice truck. Before I left with it I got them to throw in one of thier die-cast 1:18 '05 Mustang Concept promo's. When they gave it to me, the salesman told me they were expecting to get one of the new Mustangs in within a month...

    What T5 rebuild kit to buy?

    The trans in my '93 LX was doing the same thing because of the 2nd gear syncro. I got a core form a buddy and sent it to Liberty for them to build up for me. I took about a month, but it is much stronger than any other T-5 out there and only cost me $681.00 shipped. www.Libertygear.com...

    bullitt rims...4 lug

    The pony's wheels have the lugs within the center of the spokes. The Bullits have the lugs between each spoke. To make it look anything like a Bullit, it would have to be 4 spoke, or look like Pony's with skinney spokes. I Really wanted a set of these before I settled on the '03 Cobra's...

    Need some transmission advice

    I just got a T-5 from Liberty installed in my car two days ago. F'n great! I decided to go with theirs because a buddy of mine has had one of thiers in his '89 Saleen SSC (proshifted, mine is not) for the last three years. He launches @ 5K rpm's with full slicks and runs 11.20's on motor...

    UPDATE< problem solved!!! Modulistic, you the man! Replaced the ECT sensor and all the detonation went away! Then went to a buddy's shop and played with his timing light to see if I could squeez any more timing out of it now. Put it up to 15, serious pinging. Turned it down to 13, minor...

    '03 GT seats into a '93 LX

    Man they went in absolutely perfect! They are still close enough to the console to use the E/brake/ cupholder if I wanted (not!), and the seats DO sit up you significantly higher than the old Fox seats. It will just take some getting used to, definately not bad enough to where I don't like...
