    Rev Limiter?

    The rev limiter is there to PREVENT engine damage. If the motor is in good shape then you wont hurt it. Every car from Ford, GM, chrysler, to ***. and German all have rev limiters.

    Coolest Drums Ever

    Why would you like to show off drum brakes? Its kinda embarrassing. Ford was too cheap to put discs on the back, which these cars really nead. Yeah, my brakes look great but its a shame I smacked into something cause my car has terrible stopping power. What a shame.

    Supercharging stock motor

    I wouldnt put a supercharger on any car that is over 10 years old no matter how many miles are on the clock. All the seals in the motor age dried out over time and WILL leak. Supercharging it just speeds up the leaking process.

    Stainless header bolts and Aluminum heads??

    All heads come with steel bolts from the factory. Not a problem. They are the strongest and the best to use.

    Rear Gear Install????????????

    Bring it to a pro because you will not do it correctly if you havent done it before. Even some mechanics have trouble with replacing gears. You musta have the correct amount of shims on each side or the gears will whine like hell and the gears will wear out quickly.

    turn signal problems.....

    The flasher is NOT behine the glovebox or behind the stereo in 88. Remove the small panel directly under the steering column. After the panel is removed look to the left about an inch or two in. The flasher is right there.

    K&N Dissappointment

    Really the better gas milaege is all in your head. There is no way mechanical you can get better gas milaege from an air filter. If so then explain. If you so worried about gas milaege why get an 8 cylinder vehicle. Get a 4 banger. You make no sense. And I guess all that experience and...

    Cats are not the problem. I have always passed without them. The readings without the cats dont even come close to the limits.

    K&N Dissappointment

    Well I see there is no winning with you. But let me say this. The time is not worth it for me to fool around and clean then reoil the K&N just to lose power. Id rather buy the stock filter and not lose power. I guess everyone likes to spend money to lose power. And how is it unnecessary...

    K&N Dissappointment

    Conditioned itself to the stock filter? Are you for real? If the computer still has to adjust for the filter then why not change it right away so it adjusts for the K&N? ANd I guess you cant put synthetic oil in the motor until after it breaks in. These are just rumors and are NOT TRUE. Why...

    K&N Dissappointment

    You guys are unbelievable. Retune your computer? A K&N air filter will flow LESS air than a stock paper unit. The company makes claims but read the fine print. They only flow more air than a stock paper filter when the are both clogged with dirt. Both new, stocker is better. I have seen...

    Whats the Fox bodys stock ride height??????

    I was not talking about HOW these cars feel and handle, but 8" high on 35's are exactly how these cars feel. The handling is pure crap and the ride quality even worse.

    Whats the Fox bodys stock ride height??????

    I need to know if anyone knows the stock height. I have low profile tires and I want to lower the car but I dont want it to be too low. The car has original springs. I know they are shot so the car is lower than stock. 88 GT Any help would be great.

    bunch of problems please give your input!

    Make sure you tighten up the header bolts because the will loosen up with the heat and then cooling of the metal parts. This will happen for a few hundred miles or even more so you have to tighten every once and a while. And not all gaskets will leak. The guy who said that is wrong. Hes...
