    3" or 3.5" exhaust tips? Foxbodys please post pics

    Hey thanks for remembering, FiVeLiTeR87GT!! They are a set of 22" x 3.5" SS tips I got from a company on Ebay. They were $50 for the pair. I used an old set of Flowmaster 2.5" GT tailpipes, cut them off, and welded the SS tips onto them. They look good with a Cobra bumper, because you...

    Noone has been able to give me a straight answer..

    Did my AOD to T5 swap last summer.... left the AOD computer in the car....works fine. If there's a downside to not changing the computers, I haven't found it yet. Hope this helps! :nice:

    shifter install -1993

    Same here... I've used a mini-ratchet before and I've also used a wrench. The mini- ratchet will squeeze under there, but still won't be able to turn but so much. The wrench is probably the easiest, but it will take some time turning it a tiny bit at a time. I never tried cutting the...

    Beeping sound..

    Who are "they"? Doesn't sound like a dealership's work. If you want the steering wheel back the way it was, I'd take it back to "them" and show them what it's doing and demand the correct steering wheel and that they make it right. Or, if you don't care about the air bag and like the new...

    Battery Relocation on GT, need pics to decide!!

    It's a cut-off switch like in mine and GroverDill's pics above. Both of ours are behind the tag, but some people put them on the bumper cover or even on the taillight. I like it behind the tag because noone can see it or fool with it. It cuts the battery off from the car's electrical system...

    Running a flaming river manual rack on a street/strip car

    You'll need the manual tie rod ends too.... but that's no biggie.

    Ordering My 3G 130amp Alt Right Now, What All Do I Need?

    Some places sell kits with the cabling, fuse, etc... I know PAperformance does, but I think it was cheaper just getting it at a car stereo shop. They sell the cabling by the foot (like $1 per foot), the fuse and fuse holder (it was like $15 or so), and the gold ring terminals (like 50 cents...

    Ordering My 3G 130amp Alt Right Now, What All Do I Need?

    When switching to a 130a alternator, you need to get some 4ga cabling (about 6-8 feet), a fuse holder with a 150-200 amp fuse, and some ring terminals to connect the cable to the solonoid, alt, and on both sides of the fuse (4). I got all this stuff at a local stereo shop and it wasn't that...

    Running a flaming river manual rack on a street/strip car

    Yeah, if anything, you have MORE control for swerving out of the way from something in the road. It's very firm and precise. Only at a dead stop is it tough to steer. Turning a corner while rolling takes two hands, but isn't hard. When cruizing down the road in a straight line, or...

    Subframe connectors

    I got the HPM ones from a friend who sold his Mustang and had never used them. They have the seat cross-bracing. They are bent to hug up against the curves of the car's bottom and are very snug. The cross-braces bolt to the existing bolts that hold the rears of the seats down with nuts...

    Battery Relocation on GT, need pics to decide!!

    Hey, thanks! I did it last summer when I had some time off, so I thought it through and planned it carefully and it turned out nicely. Here's some more details.... I didn't want to cut my factory carpet to fit around the box, especially since the car has black interior. So I did it like...

    Battery Relocation on GT, need pics to decide!!

    Yes, the Taylor kit is HNRA legal. My box has about an inch of clearance between the box and the hatch, but I removed the big plastic trim panel that's on the inside of all hatches. I don't see the point in that trim anyway....you can't even see it when the hatch is closed. I think that...

    Battery Relocation on GT, need pics to decide!!

    Mine is the Taylor kit. I got the box and complete kit from Holcomb Motorsports for $119. That's the best price I've seen on the box AND kit. GroverDill's is the Moroso box.... also very nice and sealed, vented, and NHRA legal.

    Battery Relocation on GT, need pics to decide!!

    Here's some pics of my battery box. The first pic is when the car was still an LX, right after I did the battery box/ switch installation. The second pic is how I did the tag later on. I got some threaded rod, nuts, and wing nuts from Lowe's and made the extensions. All I have to do to...

    Battery in Trunk.. Does it have to be sealed??

    I thought the optima batteries or an unsealed box (like Summit's) were ok for a trunk car. I don't have a rule book, I've just seen alot of people do it that way. I have a hatch, so I used the Taylor box kit with 1ga cabling, and a Taylor cutoff switch behind my tag. I don't have the...

    Battery in Trunk.. Does it have to be sealed??

    For most track's "test and tune" night, they generally don't do any inspections like that. At our local track, they don't even care about helmets, battery switches, or any of that. It's when you are racing in an actual class at an actual event when you're going to get inspected. Test and...

    LOST KEYS....no spare....NOW WHAT??

    When I got my first Mustang (90' GT), I got it at a local auction and it didn't have the door/hatch key. It did have the ignition key though. I took it to a local locksmith's shop and the guy took a blank key, stuck it in, pulled it out and filed it a little with a file, stuck it back in...

    91 GT Interior Question

    There were a couple of different grey colors throughout the fox years. They are so similar that it would be nearly impossible to tell one from the other seperately, but put them next to each other and you can see the difference. When I got my old 90' GT, it was missing the passenger side...

    2.5" Flow Tubes - Where??

    Yeah, a 2.25" H-pipe will bolt up to 2.5" flowtubes, or even 3" flowtubes for that matter because of the "ball/socket" type flanges they have. It's the same with the other ends of the H-pipe where they meet the headers. The design is for adjustability, so the pipes can be twisted around as...
