    Brake Dilemma Please Help

    I don't know dude... he said both axles were damaged and that the pinion seal was leaking and that it all should be replaced. I always assume I'm getting screwed when I take my car in for work but at this point I don't know what else to do.

    Brake Dilemma Please Help

    So I took my car in to get the brakes done. Pads/Shoes replaced. I have a '91 GT. Now they say I need a new axle because it's damaged. Also the pinion seal is leaking and the drums have to be replaced. Anyway all this stuff is going to cost me around 1200 bucks. So my question is...

    Finished Restoring Exterior, Engine Bay

    Cool thanks 88 I will definately do that it looks great :) I guess I just needed something a litte more abrasive. I was worried about taking off paint but yours looks great! Yeah the seat isn't dirty believe me. I had the entire interior professionally cleaned. What you are seeing is...

    Finished Restoring Exterior, Engine Bay

    Hey thanks for the tip :) Yeah I've used all kinds of paint cleaners to try and get that better but haven't had any good result. I never thought of an SOS pad. Did you use anything with the pad? Or just water? This is the green pad with the sponge on the other side right? Yeah I...

    Finished Restoring Exterior, Engine Bay

    Thanks for fixing that for me and I"m glad you guys dig the car :) It's been quite a lot of work but it's worth it. Yeah it's the stock shifter and handle and it's screwed all the way down. But I do admit it does look rather tall in this picture. The only thing not stock on the car is...

    Finished Restoring Exterior, Engine Bay

    So I finished restoring the exterior and engine bay. There are a few details I'd still like to do like repaint the yellow on some of the writing on the cap and other things here and there but I figured I would post now anyway since those things are minor. I also included an interor shot. The...

    important...how much will it handle?

    The general concensus from the research I've done is around 450 rwhp is safe with a good tune. Although there have been engines let go at 400rwhp with a good tune also. And yes the rods seem to be the weakest link at this point. Every block that has been ventilated has been because a rod...

    Brake Chatter Leaking Reservior

    I don't recall seeing any trac control lights or any lights that were different than usual. I would love to take mine in and get a new one with a proper lip... the problem is how do I know the new one will have the proper lip? Have they been redesigned or is it just luck of the draw?

    Brake Chatter Leaking Reservior

    Ok so my brake reservior leaks like many others, and I have basically settled to check it each weekend to make sure it isn't seeping or leaking. I took out some fluid like many others have and for the last few weeks it's been bone dry. No leaks. Ok so last night I'm driving and I hit the...

    Global West Subframes WOW!

    Sorry I didn't answer all the questions... I was going to go with the Maximum Motorsports ones. I actually wanted the Kenny Bell super subs but they don't make them. Joe showed me a set of supersubs that he had just taken off another fox. He stood on one end of the subframe connector and...

    Global West Subframes WOW!

    Sorry I didn't reply sooner guys. The ones I got were the full ladder brace. They cost about 800 bucks for the frames and installation. I'm not really sure what the subframes cost by themselves... I'll have to check my invoice when I get home. As for the ride... it has COMPLETELY eliminated...

    Global West Subframes WOW!

    So I just got some Global West subframe connectors put on my 91 Fox and I have to say that it's like driving a new car!! Joe, Ronny and the crew at Chicane Sport Tuning in Torrance hooked me up. I was actually a little hesitant just because of the cost of the subframes but I have absolutely...

    Pony Wheels from 50Resto

    Just wondering if these are OEM wheels or if they're reproduction wheels. And if they ARE reproduction wheels is the quality good? Not that I have an option I guess to buy new ones from Ford. I have the original wheels on my 5.0 now (pony wheels) and am restoring it... the wheels I have...

    Brake Upgrade Without the 5-Lug Conversion

    So I've been looking into doing the 5-lug conversion on my car. Basically because I want the brakes to be better. But I just can't find any wheel that I really like compared to my original pony wheels. The Cobra 2003 wheels look good, and the SVT wheels look good... but I just don't...
