    5-lug, 8.8 And Cobra Brake Conversion

    if anyone else had any input feel free! so now i need to unload these wheels and tires or find someone to trade me. i'll either go with these 18x9 Saleens or the SVE drift in silver in 18x9, and going to use a Michelin AS+ in 265/35r18, possibly 275 but probably not. i'm shipping out in 3 weeks...

    5-lug, 8.8 And Cobra Brake Conversion

    i think i am going to run either 275's or 265's all the way around. i like the staggered look, but with as much as i drive i need to get a good amount of miles out of tires, and if i go with a set of Michelin AS+ i will get 45k+ out of them, warrantied. and i would like to be able to rotate. so...

    5-lug, 8.8 And Cobra Brake Conversion

    Blend door actuator?

    Well a few months back I had Midas install a new heater core in the mustang, and ever since the AC and heat will only blow from the defroster. After taking it back multiple times it has been found that it needs a new blend door actuator. The problem is that they can not locate the part anywhere...

    ok, got the piston out. the only way it was going to happen was for me to cut the rings off. tried to compress them and tap it out, and it just wasn't going to happen. now i need to measure them and order replacements and a gasket kit. and this is going to sound a bit ignorant, but they look a...

    with 302/351's you can tap them out the bottom, which is what he's used to. i got the other 3 out of the top. and yeah, im afraid of now scratching the cylinder walls, or worse. Would cutting the rings off then sliding it out be ok?
