    Rebuild Or Buy New(ish)

    The trans is my car is beginning to become junk. 2nd gear is grinding pretty bad. Should I pull it and try to find somebody local to fix it? Or buy something newer like this? http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/pts/3855084796.html My main worry is that I'm going to have too much into my...

    Another Stupid Exhaust Thread

    Changing up the exhaust a little and I need some help/advice. Currently I have an O/R H-pipe to Flowmaster 40's(typical obnoxiously loud Mustang exhaust). I'm looking to switch it up to an O/R X-pipe to a set of Magnaflows. But my question is, which mufflers do you guys recommend? I'd like to...

    New Parts

    I haven't driven my car much since March when I blew a head gasket. I fixed that issue but ending up cracking a valve cover somehow and I just haven't been able to convince myself to pull off the upper to replace them. So at some point I decided that the current cam in my car was hurting my...

    Is It Worth It?

    Right now I'm running a TF Stage 3 cam with some 1.6(or 1.7 I honestly forget) rockers and GT40's. This cam is just too much for my liking. I wanted more of a street car, while this cam makes it unbearable to drive in town and only makes power on the top end which is useless to me. Is it worth...

    Valve Covers

    If you have a set of valve covers that have no oil fill hole, how do you put in oil? Lol I know that might sound like a dumb question but I just saw a set of valve covers on Ebay with no holes and I had to ask.

    Oil Pressure

    What's a good oil pressure at idle? During driving the car is at about 50-60psi. At idle, drops to about 25-30psi. Mechanical gauge, is this normal? Car doesn't shut off. Idles fine, drives fine. Thanks in advance

    5 Lug Parts Collection

    After graduating from high school about a month ago I've finally saved up enough money to go ahead and do my 5 lug swap. So now I'm just trying to get a list of everything I'm going to need. I'll be doing Bullitt/Cobra brakes all the way around while still using my stock rear end. Here's my list...

    My Other Ride

    Just a few simple shots of my other vehicle. It's a 2002 Ranger. I haven't really taken any good pictures of it lately. Most of them have just been cell phone shots since I've been really busy the past few months. Gave the truck a nice wash/wax today. Gotta keep it looking good for graduation...

    MM Steering Shaft

    Better than Flaming River? Worth the extra $20? I did some searching and saw where people say they think it's a better design than the FR one because there's no set screws. Just figured I'd get some opinions before I drop $200+ on this thing.

    Bumper Repair

    I picked up a set of LX bumpers for $40 the other day but the front one needs a little work. It has a chunk missing out of it that's about 3" wide, by like 8" long. How can I go about repairing this?

    Head Gasket?

    While on my way into work this morning I ran into a small issue. I was cruising around 50mph in 4th and as I approached the shop I slowed down, shifted into 3rd, and checked my rear view mirror to see a huge cloud of white smoke. First thought was "wtf is going on? It's too early for this shi...

    Color Choice

    If you could paint your car any color, what would it be? I'm really having a tough time deciding what direction I want to go in with my car... So I need some ideas for some colors.

    5th Gear Issues

    Normal cars can cruise in 5th gear at like...50mph. But not my car. When I put it in 5th, it does this harsh surging that just shakes the whole car. I can't figure out what it is. At first I thought it was something with the clutch and it just didn't like low RPM's. But it doesn't do this...

    Cobra Brakes

    With these brakes/hubs/spindles it will make my car have a wider track width up front correct? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2003-2004-Mustang-Cobra-Front-Brakes-Calipers-PBR-13-in-Black-/150736399000?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item231896ea98&vxp=mtr#ht_668wt_1037 What's the...

    87-93 GT Front Bumper

    I have a GT front bumper off of my '88 Mustang. I'd like to trade it for an LX front bumper and the pieces that go on the front of the fenders. Paint condition of the bumper doesn't matter to me. My bumper is primered but in good condition. Need the bumper soon because the car is getting painted...

    Plug Wires

    When I bought my car one of the plug wires was burnt and I'd like to replace it. Problem with this, you can't buy just one plug wire can you? It's a Taylor 10mm wire. Thanks in advance.
