    Blackstangers please read......................

    Looks to me like it's all "new edge" stuff, won't fit a '94-98. It's fiberglass, hard to maintain, will chip, break, shatter eaisily in my experience. Also, IMHO, you get what you pay for... there must be a reason that thier kits are so low priced...

    Power Seat track ?'s

    Mustang Parts Specialties.. http://www.stangparts.com/ I have bought a lot of stuff from them over the years.. good service and good parts. You probably could buy the just the motor from ford, but it would cost a lot I would bet. I know a NEW power track is over $200. I use MPS for used...

    OT: Girlfriend + Mustang = Disaster - What can I do???

    Boy I hate it for nearly all of you. My wife and I have had a bunch of stangs together and at one time had his and hers.. We both lament a couple we let get away, and the last time we had any words about the current one was when I started the spring/shock install without her...

    Timing For Dumbies

    I just put a little chalk on the marks, then wipe the excess off.. works great. There is a bolt holding a flat clamp where the dizzy shaft goes into the top of the block, you loosen it. You will need a dizzy wrench, or at least I did, you have to set the timing with the engine at operating temp...

    lowered car but back isnt as low as i want it: can i remove isolaters?

    Yes you can remove them, and what you will get is a little more noise, and the occasional "clunk" when you hit potholes, etc.

    Went to install bullit brakes/cobra brakes.

    Don't know about the Cobra rears, but do know that the Baer rears don't need the axle pulled, and can't remember any reason why the bracket removal would require the axles to be pulled anyways....

    big ol brake problem.....need experienced people

    UM... the back brake pistons don't "push" or "squeez" back into place, they must be rotated, turned or screwed back into the caliper. You can use some needle nose pliers, or buy a little tool at A-Zone etc.. for about $10.

    Subframe Connectors

    'bout the only trick is to make sure the car is sitting on all four wheels the same way it sits on the street. If it's not, you can induce a frame twist. But, I thought 'verts had 'em from the factory...? I got a muffler place to do mine, took 'em about 10 minutes, and they are used to working...

    Cobra III rims? Too Ricy? Pic

    Here is the deal... they ain't "rice" since they are copies of the halibrand race wheels that came on the original shelby cobra's. But, most importantly, they are for YOUR car, if YOU like them, get them. I am not so sure about what makes a car ricey.. heck mine might be ricey to someone.

    Had a Chrysler aluminim block 215 V-8 in my MG/GT in high school. And a friend of mine put the entire running gear out of a toranado (FWD, 455 ci.) in the back of his corvair.. It was quite scary...
