    Newbie with a few questions

    if you want to pull the shocks you can get it out but cutting is faster. it is up to you really. I would not run eibach. they are just as much as bilstein and I don't think they are as nice. if you like the eibach stuff I would run h&R sports with bilstein hd's. It is about the same...

    ideas on transmission/clutch fix

    well there is just a switch on the pedal to start the car so that does not guaranty the clutch is fine. well you should be way over the torque rating for the tranny so I could be toast. you are really just going to have to get your hands dirty to know. look for something obvious or...

    Which mufflers for exhaust?

    got to mustangexhaust.com and listen. I like borla and bassani. the ultraflows sound nice too. I am sick of flows and don't like magnflow or magnapacks. this is all my preference though. Listen to the clips. I still say borla and bassani are the best choice. you will get more...

    Big Brake questions

    short story long ford does not make 13" rear rotors. If you want brakes for looks like this you will need to go aftermarket. the ford rotors are not zinc plated either. as long as you are willing to pay just for looks get the baer kit. as long as you realize you paying tons of money for...

    Braking perfomance with oe rotors over vented

    vented rotors are nice when it comes to repeatablity of the stop. they cool better. equally sized rottors on one panic stop you proabaly won't notice much. now when you get into the baer decelra rotors they are also cross drilled and stuff like that. that is not ever nessesary. they are...

    Are Autozone IAC's as good as the Ford IAC's?

    I bought a plenum and TB off ebay that had an aftermarket IAC valve on it. the car would not run right. swapped the stock one back on and it still working fine. so I vote ford. should have a waranty as well.

    what is the diff between rai and cai?

    I like the looks of the shaker. as long as someone relizes it is a styling mod and not much on the performance end. I am calling :bs: unless you can show me some examples of real word gains. I have done this. 1mph increase and no et gain on a 500hp car tell me there is not much steriods...

    Gears

    anybody who does 3.73's on a n/a stang is going to be a tad disapointed IMO. I did 3.73's because I want a kb 1.7L and 4.10's are proabaly a bit deep. I can say though If I was staying n/a I would kicking myself for not going 4.10's the cruise rpm won't bother you with 4.10's but you will...

    what is the diff between rai and cai?

    ram air is so over rated for the money IMO. I had a snorkle on my 72 nova bracket car. It ran 10.2-10.5 in the range at about 125-126. I built a ram air box to force the air from the snorkle to the engine. it ran 10.2-10.5 at 126-127. I gained about 1mph wich is meaninless in braket...

    What's needed for an engine swap?

    the injectors take a diffrent plug. the 4v has a knock sensor I do belive (chip or tune may take car of this). the throttle cable/cruise cable may not work. proably flywheel, I would do the clutch no matter what. I don't know if the alt is the same. the intake ducting will be different...

    Brake Noise!

    I would inspect the pads, rotors, and you floating pins. they make componds to put on the pads but I have not had as much luck with that as just replacing the pads. if you brake pads only last a year you either bought the wrong pads IMO or yu drive a ton. I am at 65k on my oem pads with...

    I would like to do Shocks/Struts

    I would not run the strange with the sportlines up front. i would get some illumia's or something with more agressvie valving. you proablem is you want drag shocks with lowering springs. that can just create a bouncy ride as the shocks are stiff enough for the spring rate. I have never...

    best differential fluid 98 GT?

    I would just use the 75-140 royal purple. by the time you buy a good synthetic and the modifier the cost is pretty close to the same. you can go to royal purple's website and find the closest dealer or order online.

    squeak squeak squeak

    okay pull you wheel and look to see if anything is rubbing. if not spin the wheel and see if the rotors warped. if not pull the caliper and make sure that the floating pins are not froze up. basically undo the 12 floating pin bolts and if they don't move that is your problem. if not it...

    First mod debate...

    you won't feel it much. mods you feel gears, midepipe, shifer, LCA/subframes, cams, longtubes, heads. mods like CAI, pullies, plenum TB, etc are more like after you do all three you might feel it but it gets expensive.
