    My stang got nailed yesterday (pics of wreck), have some Q's

    Was your photo from a magazine shoot? There's a difference between a car nice enough to make it into a magazine with a model posing on it, and some random photo posted on the Internet of a car with several people sitting on it. Ignorance is not being able to differentiate between the two.

    My stang got nailed yesterday (pics of wreck), have some Q's

    PoliceInterceptor nailed it. As another word of advice, I wouldn't show any pictures of people on your car. My first thought as an ex-adjuster is after seeing that pic, if I found any dents on the hood or roof, I wouldn't pay for it as obviously you didn't take that great of care of your car...

    Global West or TCP?

    I think you meant to say softer spring, not shock. When you really want to lay it down, you don't necessarily want to increase the spring rate; you want to increase the roll stiffness. Increasing the spring rate will do this, however, it doesn't let the wheel follow the irregularities in the...

    Global West or TCP?

    You couldn't be any more wrong. With the coil over setup, you can run a softer spring due to the change in wheel rate. In stock form, the suspension geometry sucks. To prevent the oustide wheel from going into positive camber during a turn, a stiffer spring is used to limit body roll. The...

    100gph enough to support 500hp?

    I couldn't tell you how many times I've posted this link to Century Performance on different forums (including this one) but it's a must read: Fuelish Tendencies They talk about electric fuel pumps, but gph is gph so check it out and make your decision accordingly.

    How's the turning radius? Did it increase over the stock setup?

    Emachineshop

    I figured that anyone interested in this level of CAD design can handle CC land. Besides, the mods have that bet on who can ban the most people so if a few people decide to venture over there and not read the wiki before signing up, then it's still a win/win situation. As far as the French...

    found a place WILLING to align my car, but shims on a 69&TCP????

    Even though these guys are in the Bay Area, you should try sending an email to Custom Alignment. Lots of racers as well as exotic owners take their cars here. They also used to sell and install the TCP gear. I would hold their recommendation in high regard as they really know what they're...

    Front fender removal on 68...

    It's a little more complex. At least from what I remember. Since the headlight bucket is connected to the fender, you need to disconnect the headlight. Also, the various trim pieces by the grill attach to the headlight bucket, so you will need to adress those as well. There's also the bumper...

    whats wrong with a MII suspension??

    rc is roll center. Without trying to sound like a broken record, try and find a copy of Herb Adams Chassis Engineering. It's a good read, not as difficult to follow as Carroll Smith's Tune to Win (though I recommend that one after reading Adams). And while you're at it, might as well check...

    The Stang Totaled

    Sorry to hear about your car. I used to work for an insurance company here in California where I specialized in total losses. If you have any questions, let me know. The laws might not be the same between the two states, but I can try and help you out as much as I can. For starters, you...

    65 resto project update

    Very cool! I admire people who are willing to take on such a challenge. Keep up the good work. :nice: On Edit: After reading the Headlights are flickering thread, with the front end apart, it sure would make doing any upgrades, such as relays for the headlights a lot easier. I'm afraid...

    New Mustang 66.

    I'd be curious to see the car in person. Obviously, it's not a daily driver. But one can appreciate it for what it is. An exercise in design and execution. Big bonus points if the thing runs. And on the flip side, major deduction if that's just an empty block. Nothing turns me off more...

    Aluminum or Iron Heads???

    Check out the AFR page at Custom Performance Racing. They sell other heads as well, but only the AFR pages gives application recommendations as far as cubic inch size and rpm range. Call your cam manufacturer and ask them what they would recommend with your combination, and specifically list...

    performance down sides to rear sway bar?

    Your car's current setup will dictate if a rear sway bar is needed or will add any impvoement to your ride. For maximum performance, comfort or a compromise between the two, you have to tune the suspension. Understanding the concept of roll stiffness as well as roll force distribution will...

    TCP lives!!

    The problem with your statement is that you're assuming that the original product was designed by an engineer to begin with. It wasn't. Terry is not an engineer.

    So who needs TCP?

    I know you said you still have some fabricating to due, but I have a question: Any particular reason why you chose to mount the top of the shock the way you did? I've never seen anyone use such a setup. My concern would be that since those tabs will be supporting the front of the car, after...
