    REAR END EXPERTS PLEASE HELP!!

    sounds like you don't need to re-shim, you need to tighten the pinion nut more. to keep the pinion still, i always stick a prybar through one of the holes for the driveshaft bolts. you must have done something along these lines to get to where you are now. crushing that pinion is not an easy...

    REAR END EXPERTS PLEASE HELP!!

    do you mean an 1/8" of play between the ring gear and pinion gear? if so, you'll have to either reshim the pinion gear with a thicker shim or shim the carrier towards the passenger side. or do you mean that there is an 1/8" of play on the pinion gear? if so, sounds like you haven't even...

    Rotor/Bearing question...

    learn something new everyday. i never bought new rotors. come to think of it, the races might not come with the bearings, they might be seperate.

    Rotor/Bearing question...

    the races will come with the new bearings. just pound them in with a punch or something. just don't mar the part where the bearings will ride on.

    Rotor/Bearing question...

    the bearings should come off easily. they will fall out. the races are pressed into the rotors and should not come out too easy.

    why would the idiot light for airbag come on?

    no, mine's never come on like that. i ran the KOEO codes and it never showed up on mine. i said screw it, i unhooked the battery for a while a reset them. light hasn't come on since.

    Anyone use 'Summit universal fixed seat brackets' when installing race seats?

    i made this drawing up the other day. no, my brackets aren't actually these colors, it's just to show the layers of metal. all of the bolt holes are roughly where i have mine at. i recommend using all six mounting points on the seats for strength. the black pieces are the origional seat...

    Anyone use 'Summit universal fixed seat brackets' when installing race seats?

    i'm sure they would do, but you could just modify the rails that are on your stock seats by mounting some cross beams to make a frame. of course, unless you plan on selling the seats. the rails simply unbolt from the bottom of the seats. i did this with no problems at all. i even managed...

    12's with good driving???? I am not so sure anymore.

    i'll have to agree with 89sleeper. i don't see why the stock T5 and stock suspension parts would hold you back from 12's. you'll just never know how long the T5 will last.

    Cheapest way to drop .2 tenths?

    i think you would benefit by upgrading your throttle body and mass air meter, especially when running the nitrous. btw, i don't think that your pinion angle changes when changing tire sizes because your driveshaft moves along with it. it just changes the rear end height. i bet it would...

    5.5" should work well too.

    12.8s or not?

    How fast on stock motored 5.0 cars?

    i think the 8.0 to 8.2 in the 1/8 is probably more like 12.7 to 12.9 in the 1/4. i always use 1.57 as a conversion between 1/8 and 1/4. it usually turns out pretty darn close. :D also, every time i see a thread on here about what people can run with a stock motor, there always seems to...

    long tube install

    i think i heard of it being done before on the stangs, but i could be wrong. you could just lay them in there and then drop the motor in.

    pinion bearing removal question? and carrier spacers?

    you should be able to pry the seal out with a screwdriver, but don't damage the rear housing. you really should have kept these things segregated. the shims, bearing races and bearing caps should have stayed on the side they were on. plus the arrows on the caps should face towards the...

    why would the idiot light for airbag come on?

    cool, how long until you get the dash back together? i'll do a little research to find out what all is involved first.
