    locking header bolts

    I bought a set of stage 8's on ebay for 29.99 a few months back. Check on there. As for the lock washers, I would think they still might have a tendency to work their way loose over time. Riley

    Is aftermarket K-member really better?

    I've always wanted the MM K-Member, but I'm really concerned about safety. In a front-end collision the stock K member is supposed to drop the engine down under the car so that it doesn't end up in your lap. Nobody so far has been able to say that theirs will do the same except "Our product...

    MM Panhard bar & taipipe issues?

    Haha.. Honestly, They do fit (OK) and I may still use them. They tend to adjust themselves and I have to regularly get under there and move everything back to where it should be. I've been trying to get it all to fit properly with my MAC longtubes.The magnaflow X I have has been hacked so...

    MM Panhard bar & taipipe issues?

    Well let's talk about running dumps.. For me anyways, dumps are sounding better and better.. EPIKGT, I suppose since your in Cali it would be a real hassle for you right? Dumps are considered illegal because the exhaust exits under the vehicle, no? Riley

    Question about Cobra R hood (2k)

    Sweet, thanks!! So I when I order a new hood I was going to get it from H.O. Fibertrends. According to them they're the ones who make the hoods for Ford Motorsports. Anyone have anything good/bad to say about these guys? http://www.hofibertrends.com/ Riley

    Radio volume knob

    My mustang with the Mach 460 doesn't do this, but my focus does and it's getting really bad. Most of the time it's like a random number generator. I keep cranking the volume up and the display is like 2 6 1 4 5 3 2 6 5 9 0 0 0 0 2 1 4 then it catches and cranks to 15.. Riley

    Anyway to keep my car from sliding down icy hills?

    Did you lower your car over the summer? The stiffer front springs may prevent weight from shifting to the front.. Honestly, I drove through two Canadian (Saskatchewan) and one Ohio winter on the STOCK gatorbacks. I rarely had issues stopping. In fact, I always thought it stopped really well...

    UPS shipping prices lately

    I feel your pain... From what I understand, UPS uses another company (your assigned "broker") to track and pay, on your behalf, any duty that your package may incur when shipping items across the border. This company charges a flat rate fee of $40 on top of the duty. So, if my product incurs...

    Is this clutch wear normal (Pics)

    I bought a McLeod clutch/PP combo from Promotion powertarin. The clutch I have looks different though. On the flywheel side it's the same, but the PP side has pucks instead of the full ring of material. Flywheel is a fidanza aluminum. I also went with a 10.5" setup instead of an 11". Anyways, I...

    HELP! Vortech'd 04 GT - Oil getting in Powerpipe, car barely running....

    When you've driven your car have you brought it up to operating temp for any length of time? This happens to my car when I don't let it get up to temp. You get the white/milky substance because of the condensation in the engine and it mixes with some oil. Getting your car nice and warm will...

    FYI-> Big Trouble at VT Engines~!!

    What I don't understand is how I placed a build order at the beginning of August and got the engine last weekend when some people have been waiting since January and now may not get anything. I had issues when I went to pick up the engine, VTCED wouldn't let me have it because VT Engines...

    FYI-> Big Trouble at VT Engines~!!

    I just finally got my engine picked up last weekend.. I could tell something really fishy was going on.. Took them twelve weeks and when I went to pick it up I was told by the shop they wouldn't let me have it because it wasn't paid for yet.. I had to go back and forth between Scott, Scott at...

    Help!! Flywheel bolts!!

    Allright, I'm going to answer my own question. Hopefully this helps someone in the future. 1) On the Fidanza flywheels there are two sets of holes: - One is for an 11" clutch/PP. These holes are what LOOK to be 5/16. - One is for a 10.5" clutch/PP. These holes ARE 8mm with a 1.25 pitch. 2)...
