    what is this noise?

    noise gone I had a roll of some rubber electrical tape, tho' it is not adhesive. It's like a ribbon of soft rubber. I think it's an insulator of some type, but you can use door/window seal or something like that. I used what I had. 9/16 socket or combo for the 2 bolts. Very easy fix, not worth...

    what is this noise?

    noise gone Bradleyem-that is the fix. I used electrical rubber tape and the noise is gone. 2 plastic ramps and a 9/16 socket and ratchet and done. Wife doesn't know. I just had open heart surgery in March so it hurts to exert upper body but somethings you just can't let go. That would have been...

    what is this noise?

    Noise Scupking - that sounds like it could be the problem - sounds like thin metal plate-hear it ~3K rpm only under accel. I just had heart surgery so my wife would kill me if she saw me or found out I was jacking up the car. I'll get one of the boys to do it. Thanks I didn't think I would be...

    what is this noise?

    Clutch??? I don't think so but I can't say no either. It doesn't slip or do anything that would make me think that. I've owned several manual trans cars and I would tend to think that if it made noise or acted stupid on release. I was hoping this might be a typical or frequent problem like...

    what is this noise?

    noises It appears under accel at about 2k, has a screechy metallic sound but goes away or gets quieter as the car warms up. I need to have the windows down and be next to a rail or wall to really hear it. It justs sounds off and then quits as the rpm climbs higher. Car is running fine with no...

    what is this noise?

    At about 2K rpm in all gears, on acceleration I hear what sounds like a saw thru sheet metal. My 93 Lightning did that and it was the cats rattling inside. That would break my heart to have to get an off-road H pipe. Anyone been thru this one? Thanks Don:)

    how do you kill the wheel hop on s197?

    Thnx BigLarge I was just waiting for better weather and b/p surgery post op crap to be over. I have Spohn n/a LCAs, UMI UCA and relocation bracket and was still getting a little chatter. Been considering trying the lower hole hoping that angle would do it. Rear suspension is poop on these guys...

    deck spoiler/wing removal

    I am considering removal of the airplane wing on my 07 to allow me to go "wingless". Has anyone done this and how did you deal with the holes? And by the way, anyone thinking a 4.10 is too much should drive a Stang with those gears and it will change your mind. I have just had installed...

    any one use spohn suspension products?

    Spohn LCAs That's what I have installed. Didn't help with wheelhop but a UCA and relo brackets will. They will be UMI Perf. Both Spohn and UMI are good quality.

    UMI Performance

    How are they? Someone tell me they are straight shooters. Anyone use their suspension parts? I like their product pricing. I emailed them with a question and they were quick on the turnaround. Don:nice:

    SCT-X3 question

    When I loaded my 91tune it first saves the stocker. How does it deal with going from 91 to 93. Same way? "Saving 91 tune --uploading 93". I don't know how the SCT deals with files and how much it can hold. I don't want to loose or overwrite files. Thanks:hail2:

    Hurst Billet Shifter - Latest edition

    Hurst shifter I have the C+ Hurst and it had a slight buzzing noise. I bought a black Hurst ball and aluminum t-handle. With either of those on there is NO buzz. Personnally, I like it just fine. I'd even buy another if I had to. Power-shifting is no problem.

    drag car look

    Nice setup That's pretty much the look I want. I was looking at Centerlines and it looks like they could have a front. Back, I don't know yet. Is the issue brake clearance and backspacing? Understand I haven't done aftermarket wheels since my 1969 Dart 340. I had a 01 Lightning and 91 LX but...

    drag car look

    can anyone help me out here. I want to do a drag race look for a street driver. Most are going with a touring look-I want bigs and littles. It will probably be 15 or16 inch wheels unless there's 17s I like. I want wheels like Weld Prostars. Any suggestions? Do rotors have to be cut? Tire...

    4.10 gears installed last Saturday

    bigs and littles I know most go with the giant dia (19-20-22) rims and short sidewall, but I'm old school drag racing and was wondering how much of a prob it is to run 15-16 inch Welds/Bogarts etc. Are the rotors able to clear these? See Justin Burcham's Silver stang.
