    Anyone here have a billet fuel door on their Foxbody?

    I've seen the pictures of the fuel door and what it is, is a billet frame with a circular fuel door. UPR says you just take off the stock door, and bolt the frame with the circular door to the existing holes that house the stocker rubber fuel door bumpers.

    Battery Disconnect Switch - Good????

    50resto sells a battery disconnect switch. Basically, you unbolt your negative cable from the battery terminal, bolt on the new disconnect switch, to the negative terminal and rebolt the negative cable to the switch harness. Is this switch good or has anyone experienced electrical gremlins...

    Motor Mount Help !

    This is a common problem with other aftermarket motor mounts. I understand that most guys just re-use the old stock bolts which is kinda sad as you're using an old "fatigued" part in conjunction with a new part.

    Tried emissions testing w/o cats... results

    I feel for you in Ohio. Here in Toronto, Ontario Canada we have the same crappy emissions testing. It's proven to be nothing more than a cash grab and does nothing but put HARDSHIP on people who need cars to get to work at their low paying crappy jobs!!!!!!!!! We've had ours now for the...

    Water leaked in but from were?

    I've heard from a few people that water can get in from your cowl vent openning. You may want to check in there that no corner is rotted out or cracked.

    strut brace questions???

    I'd very very strongly advise AGAINST drilling anything into or through your brace. The brace was constructed into the shape it is to balance and distribute "loads" place upon it via flexing from sharp cornering etc. By drilling into it, you're changing the load distribution which in turn will...

    strut brace questions???

    Looks like it clears pretty good to me. When you say driverside, are you talking about the driverside strut tower clearance? Like I said, it looks like it's bolted down pretty flush to the metal on the driverside. Interesting that you managed to hide/move the wires to run underneith the...

    strut brace questions???

    As for bolt sizes, check out www.macperformance.com and ask their online techs what size bolts to use. Else take the brace to a autoparts store and find the snuggest fitting bolts you can find.

    strut brace questions???

    I just got my MAC chrome brace professionally installed. I looked at the job the mechanic did (Mustang expert by the way). I asked him about the firewall drilling. He said there's nothing but sheet metal that you have to drill through. 2 holes. You'll have to disassemble your cowl vent...

    Advice on Shifter

    I have the tri-ax also. Fantastic shifter!!!! Never miss 3rd and I love the "clicking" feel/sound you get when you shift into gear. I know that when I hear/feel that click, I'm fully in gear and I never have to worry about over-extending the shifter and damaging the forks. If you have a...

    Taillight issue

    I remember hearing about a problem similar to this however, it was the reverse lights that didn't work. Seems there's a harness of some kind under the car below the transmission hump and the problem was there at that point.

    Headers...what to get?

    I have MAC ceramic coated shorties. They fit great, no clearance issues, that combined with my h-pipe and MAC 2.5" catback system, the car sounds like a monster.

    Tri-Ax shifter handle issues

    That's surprising that mine made mention of the "loc-tight". In fact, it said you should also use the stuff on the 4 bolts that hold the base to the tranny. The reason being is as you know the tranny gets hot and cold, so I guess the bolts just flex and retract and eventually work themselves...

    Tri-Ax shifter handle issues

    I have a tri-ax and have never had this issue. I had mine installed professionally though and I think they also used some "loc-tight" on the threads which I do believe Steeda recommends.

    Installing Whit face gauges

    I have a 1990 LX and I just did mine this past June so I guess I'd have the most consistent and accurate detail you need to pull this job off. I also was very nervous when undertaking this job so I sympathize with you. So without further ado, here goes nothing............................ 1...

    naturally noisy?

    I do the same thing. The first click is to turn it on and prime it, and the second to turn the engine over. That's what you're supposed to do anyways. Yeah, it is noisy. So noisy that anyone standing outside can hear it also.

    help im leaking something need help identifying it

    Yeah, the power steering pump does whine, especially when doing sharp slow turns. A whining pump is not reallly a good indication that the pump is going bad. Same goes for a whining fuel pump. The PS pump isn't bad until it become difficult to turn due to the pump itself going bad, or you...

    help im leaking something need help identifying it

    Simple way to check if it's power steering fluid is to check your pump reservoir. If it's unusually low, you have a leak somewhere on one of the two hoses, if not both. How's your steering? Has it started stiffening up? I just got this problem recently. Mine seems to be leaking somewhere...

    Power Steering Leak, Help Identify!

    I called my Mustang mechanic and he believes it's the return line also as I'm not losing enough fluid fast enough for it to be the pressure line, the pump or the rack. Unfortunately, the leak seems to be coming from the bottom end of the return line that comes out of (or plugs into) the rack...
