    Anyone have issues with their tires contacting the fender? Need help

    You leave the wheels on. Put the bat between the wheel and fender lip, and gently bend the lip up inside a little at a time, rolling the bat along the tire. The bat isn't for swinging, it's for leverage and to protect the paint and metal - wood is softer than metal and won't dig into your...

    Suspension Help!!!

    The MM starter kit is nice, but it's not the cheapest way to go. More like one of the most expensive, and it still doesn't include subframe connectors. MM makes good parts but "inexpensive" they aren't. You are more likely to save money buying the parts independently from different vendors...

    Anyone have issues with their tires contacting the fender? Need help

    You can roll the fenders. It might be that all you need to do is bend the inside lip up out of the way. A wood baseball bat and a heat gun to warm the area before rolling it would be a cheap option. Someone makes a tool that bolts to the lug nuts to do the same thing, but I don't know how...

    2011 V6s are gonna piss me off I know it

    Then don't buy one. I fail to see why this is your problem, or anyone else's, for that matter. And FWIW, unless you are a badge whore, a 1-series for under $30K is not a fancy car. In fact, that's the cheapest one you can buy, effectively a stripper, and you will never see one on a BMW...

    Simple ricer question/poll

    I'd say a black face and ring since it already doesn't match, being mounted on the pillar instead of in the dash or in the console. And a black shift light housing as well, since wherever you put it, silver is going to stick out. Why do you want your shift light to be the same color as all...

    What led you to replace the O2 sensors?

    Took the new ride to the track

    Go to a road course instead of the drag strip. That's the kind of use your Cobra was designed for, not 1/8 or 1/4 mile runs.

    Shaker Hood Scoop On 01' GT Mustang HP Addition

    Hood scoops have never worked. Cowl induction, where the base of the hood nearest the windshield is open to the intake, that works. Forward-facing scoops do jack-all. As far as "cold-air" suystems, they only help off the line on a still day on the drag strip at the launch. I won't...

    Overheating.... Well kind of...

    I don't know about anyone else, but I find it amusing when someone describes an "overheating problem" referencing letters in the word "N O R M A L."

    I'm going to pretend you never said that. LOL :)

    Kaenan Redneck hood FTW!

    I will add my vote to the "big cowl hood, stock motor = rice" group. And the group that laughs when someone running 13.6's laughs at someone for running "14's". It's more the restricted view of the "road directly ahead" that would make me never want a cowl hood that big - I kind of think the...

    cams?

    You've got a high-revving V8. If you wanted a "muscle car" you should have bought a '78 Monte. Just sayin'

    What are the gas prices where you live?

    That's naive. Oil is traded on a global market regardless of where it is sourced. We already have control over our own production and yet it doesn't convey control over the global market. Controlling a marginally greater portion of the production hardly conveys total control over the global...

    What are the gas prices where you live?

    LOL. Once you get there, go to the Salty Dog in Homer. You'll quickly forget all us hopeless in the lower 48 and go native :) But bring your car. You'll be a local hero.

    What are the gas prices where you live?

    The issue isn't that there isn't enough oil. It's that so many people are willing to pay so much for it. The last time gas got over $4, it was from institutional investors speculating in the market with out-sized chunks of capital. This is the same thing. It's not a supply issue at all...

    opening day of dragstrip! times sucked

    And drop the pressure to ~20-25 psi on the Sumitomos for the 1/4 mile. It'll help a lot. Just fill them back up again before you drive home.

    All-Season Tires

    Kumho AST's are almost total crap on snow and ice, and not real good the rest of the year, either. I'd avoid them. BFG KDWS were great on dry and wet pavement, but not great on snow and ice. The problem is most all-season tires are only marginally good for one winter season in my...

    Leather Steering Wheel Fix

    used steering wheels: Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market Found a ton of steering wheels using the nationwide search. Have used that site for a number of parts in the last couple years. You can go look at the wheel before paying if you find one close to you. You're dealing with the...

    Good deal on Stang?

    As long as it isn't spraying oil or smoking and sounds nice, it should be fine. There's nothing really to look for, no surprise weaknesses with these cars. The miles are pretty low obviously, and the car is ten years old, so it is possible some rubber bushings need replacement due to age...

    Replacement headlights: What did you do??

    Yes it can if it has a more useful spectrum of light. You could have 55 watt red bulbs in your headlights and not see squat at night. Put 55 watt clear bulbs in there and you see whole lot more. I don't really see the attraction of HID bulbs stuffing into a halogen bulb housing. Are the...
