    How much truth is in the weight factor for the 1/4 mile?

    Makes a huge difference, I took out my system after having it in for 1 year, and weighed it, it was about 100lbs with everything. I left it out, and the car feels so much lighter. Every pound makes a difference man, I would leave out the subs...save your ets and your eardrums.

    96 GT speedometer quit, OD light flashing

    subscribing, i dont want this problem when i install my gears in the spring. Would it be better to get a chip or a speedcal? Which will solve the problem in a 96-98 auto?

    *NEW BODY KIT PIX* not happy with it..:(

    Yeah, it may be time to part it out and call it a day on that one man. I mean, like everyone else is saying, its gonna need a lot more than a new hood and bumper...unless you know someone in a shop that can hook you up with some major body work for cheap, its gonna be pricey to fix...anyway, as...

    Cant get the damn starter OFF!

    Ford has done crazy things!!! All of these companies do crazy things, they just dont think of the average mechanic working on these cars. The front headlight went out on my girlfriends 01 grand am, guess what, to replace it, I needed, 10 mm socket to remove the entire radiator protector, then...

    Lowering and jacking

    I have C springs on my vert and I can't get a jack under it, its a real PITA. I cant even find a ramp that will work cause they are all too tall! I have to make a ramp out of some spare lumber when I get a chance...I love the way it looks and handles, but when I realized I couldnt get my jack...

    ANYONE SWAP LED's INTO THEIR CLUSTER??

    I dunno about the 37's there are other bulbs in the dash aside from the luminating ones...like for example, the check engine light bulb, low coolant, theft light, etc etc etc. Those are smaller than the 194's so those may be the 37s in reference....just a thought

    If you had 2-3k for upgrades to a 98 mustang gt what would you do?

    Pretty much what everyone else is saying man....thats what I did and I dont regret it for a second! - PI swap (essential) totally different car - 100 wet shot - full exhaust - slicks - 4.10's You will think you have a new car with the PI swap, its awesome.

    Winter Storage

    I use stabil in a full tank of gas, and put some strong smelling soap on the floorboards as i hear it prevents mice from entering the car. I dont start mine up until spring has arrived, it sits in silence from mid november-april

    i broke the head off of 2 bolts

    I would try to fix it yourself because I shop will rape you. Take off the plenum (if you can) and try to tap those holes , you will probably need to drill out the old bolt first. Tapping new holes is a scary thing for me, and I have done it before, if you have never done it, and have nobody...

    How hot does a alternator get?

    Like bdcardinal says, it gets WAY hot, use the highest temp paint you can find. I used 1500 degree paint and its holding up well...excessive...yes...but I didnt want ANY flaking.

    Can someone double check my logic?

    the ses light means its misfiring, the blinking ses light means it is misfiring more than 2% of the time (close to that at least). My stang was doing this last year and I replaced the fuel filter, spark plug wires, spark plugs, and it was cured...my car had about 50k miles on it when that...

    quick question tonight thanks(n20)

    150 shot! I think thats the problem! A lot of people on here run like a 100, 125 seldom at the track. But a 150, wet shot, with a plastic intake, you are asking for trouble. Do you have a window switch? If not, then you may want to invest in one, or that will for sure happen again. Bump it...

    Dip Stick Tube

    I bent it after it was already in the block in order to get it to fit around the headers the way I wanted. It was a real pain, but it worked out okay and it doesnt leak so its all good, that was a frustrating 2 hours though! Good luck man.

    Dip Stick Tube

    I hate the dipstick! It was the hardest part of the PI swap, oh well, I had to bend mine sort of to make mine work, didnt really hurt it, but its just a little more difficult to pull the dipstick out now....they do have a little bit of flex, just be careful not to break off the end of it in the...
