    Mobile 1 (5-20) GONE for now

    It has nothing to do with boost at 2500 rpm, it has to do with cold metal being under undo stress. All supercharger companies say to let every thing get nice and hot before putting an engine through it's paces. 2500 is a good rule of thumb regaurdless if you have a supercharger or not. And...

    Rear LCA's

    MM's with the delrin bearing at one end or the Griggs with delrin bearing. Do not get control arms with poly bushings on both ends. It can lead to what is called snap over steer and it can be very scary when it does happen. It feels like all of the weight of the rear of the car swaps sides...

    Ford Racing B Springs

    I had these springs with Tokico blue shocks and struts. The ride is close to stock. You won't get too much of a drop with these, but to the trained eye it is noticable. The price is hard to beat. If you go to stangsuspension.com they have a chart of different spring rates so you can compare...

    Clunking sounds from rear - 2000 GT

    I have the same problem as everyone else. I took it to the local Mustang guru (who also happens to own a transmission shop) and he said the noise is a normal thing. He said to think of it like this, at any given time there may be 15 different gears engaged in the transmission and they might all...

    BFGoodrich g-Force Sport A/S or others?

    No they're not going to be that bad. Adjust your driving style and you'll be fine. Seems to me like you answered your own question when you described the weather out in Ar-Kansas I got family out that way, that probally makes us related somehow...it's all relative...Go Razorbacks

    BFGoodrich g-Force Sport A/S or others?

    Remember it's a comprimise between performance and safety. The BFGs G-Force don't dig in as well as the Nitto 555s but that is not what they are designed for. I am willing to give up a little dry traction at the tire's limit rather than have the rear end step out on me on a rainy Monday morning...

    BFGoodrich g-Force Sport A/S or others?

    I have the BFG's A/S on my car right now 275/40-17 on 03 chrome Cobras and I love them. They are so much better in the rain and quieter than the Nitto 555. I have those on 285/35-18 on Steeda Ultra lites. The BFGs have held up well I've even put 120 miles on them at V.I.R. and they show little...

    What's the best hitch setup for a 99-04 Mustang?

    I say go for it. I was just talking to a guy today about how you can't fit a set of tires, tools and supplies in the back seat and trunk. I have to switch to my rims at my house then drive 3 hours to the track day @ V.I.R. I would love to be able to tow a small trailer for tires, tools, tents...

    What's a good strong non-smelling engine degreaser?

    I think simple green is no toxic too. All that water running down the driveway goes right back into our drinking water.

    How much can a stock motor take?

    Find out the power to weight ratio of the bike then the weight of your car and how much horsepower you will need to exceed his. Then factor in things like drag coefficient, the rolling resistance of the tires, weight transfer and acually being able to put the power to the ground, then...

    acetone with a twist

    :drool:By the time I get to the worm I have already forgotten about him. These fads have come and gone ever since the car was invented. If it works for you great, I just have a hard time believing that there is some kind of miracle cure like the tornado air filters and spark plugs with about...

    '02 Stock Seats

    when it's humid outside my seatbelts don't retract as well as they should. And my rear passenger side seatbelt only retacts about half way. I don't like the stock seats and I have them on my "to do" list. Someday the 03 Cobra seats will be mine. Oh yes they will be mine.

    Hood Pins?

    I have had 2 different kinds of hood pins. The Mr. Gasket ones and the Ford Racing. They both rusted after about a month, also the cable that hang down will scratch your paint from rubbing back and forth when you are driving. I have seen 08' Shelby GT's sitting on the dealers lot with rusted...

    Updating the port work on my blower...*PICTURES*

    The workmanship looks top notch. I don't have the attention span to see something like that from start to finish. I find it hard to wax my car without getting bored halfway through. What kind of gains are you expecting to see from all this work? Has anyone ever read Smokey Yunick's book on...

    How to test new 4.10 gears

    If you let off the gas and the rearend starts to howl the backlash was set incorrectly. Also listen for any kind of knocking, or noise that sounds out of place. It is important to set the gears up properly to ensure long life of the ring and pinion. Other than that I can't think of any other way...

    New Pics After Wash.

    Great looking wheels. Those are my favs out of the Ford parts bin. The FR500 is one of the best things you can do for your interior. The wheel is thicker and the leather is softer and of a higher quality. Now to head light covers. They are against the law here in the Commonwealth of Virginia...

    Pay attention to the Low fuel light!

    My low fuel light would come on at a quarter tank in my 86 gt and it pretty much stayed on all the time. I miss that car
