    How do I tell if my diff is slipping?

    I think I'm gonna get new tires instead of changing the ratio. Tirerack had a deal I couldn't pass up and I'm not liking the Nitto NT555's any more. Ride quality sucks big time after they wear, and two of them have a slow leak with no visable holes or nails. So I think my money is better...

    How do I tell if my diff is slipping?

    I'm going to have the diff rebuilt. It's about $180.00 in parts to replace the clutch packs with the carbon ones and all the bearings. I found a shop around the corner from work that has done them before. He said roughly about 4 hours of labor. Now, since the axles will be out and I...

    How do I tell if my diff is slipping?

    To measure the torque, do I put the torque wrench on a lug a lug nut of the raised wheel and attempt to turn the wheel?

    How do I tell if my diff is slipping?

    I think my diff is on it's way out. When I accelerate while making a right hand turn I can feel a shudder or splipping coming from the rear of the car. I t will also slip for a second if I go in a straight line from a stop. The car doest feel as if it has the same traction that it once did...

    Maximum Motorsports Aluminum Rack Bushings?

    I almost went with those, but you have to cut the stock bushing sleeves. It seemed like extra work for minimal return. The directions say to mark, measure and cut the sleeves to length. If you screw this up it'll be hard to replace the sleeves. It's been a while, but those were either press...

    Should I let my mustang go?

    Yeah, I know... I plan on using it as a DD for 6 months or so. I actually have 3 cars, so I could rely on my wife in case it breaks down.

    Should I let my mustang go?

    I have to be carefull when I enter highways... I looked at the speedo after merging the other day and I hit 100 without even realizing it. It's also fun in the corners even with it's worn out shocks. I'll replace them soon, but the cost is a little high. 4 koni yellows are around $600...

    Should I let my mustang go?

    The plan is to DD it until my wife gets a new car. That should be by the end of the year hopefully. That way I can use her old one as my DD.

    Should I let my mustang go?

    I thought about it, but I can't drive manual cars well. Let alone driving a cobra properly. Several knee injuries and the fact that I haven't driven a stick in 10 years is what's stopping me.

    Should I let my mustang go?

    I actually like the stock rims. I'm thinking of buying another set and powdercoating them black with a red lip. Since they're 16" tire prices are way cheaper. The suspension is near perfect, so I'm hesitant to change anything (even tire size).

    Should I let my mustang go?

    Nope, it's a touring model. The sunroof is there, the light is hitting it funny I guess. I'm not sure if it's an R1 spoiler or not. It may be, since that's the first thing everyone replaces Thanks for your insight. My wife has a car too that she only uses to take the kids back and forth...

    Should I let my mustang go?

    The population report suggests that there was only 401 produced in this trim. There are guys pulling 500 HP from the 1.3L rotary with no problem, but I'm not about to mess with it as it is too fast to begin with. My original plan was to put a LS2 in it, but the twin turbos convinced me to...

    Getting 04 Cobra rack, arms, ti-rod end put on today

    For anyone debating the installation of the cobra arms, JUST DO IT. The bushings are nice and firm, and the extra 10% turning radius makes a big difference in turning. When you combine that with the ratio of the Cobra rack it turns out awesome. There is no flex or wishy washy feeling in...

    Car will not start!!! Help!!

    If memory serves I don't think that will work. The signal is different and the autometer gauge would not know what to do. I think the autometer gauge works on resistance (analog) and the ECT sensor is digital. I know it's a pain to drain all the coolant, but at least you'll know it's fresh

    Aftermarket Water Temp Gauge Help

    Where did you tap in for for the water temp? I used the port on the bottom of the engine block next to a freeze out plug. I can't remember what side. I know there is a picture of it here on the boards. Searching for autometer install or something like it should do the trick. I have an...
