    Just got new GT40 crate engine

    In the FMS catalog they dyno test them with a 780 cfm Holley, headers, and probably no smog, ac, or ps pump hooked up either. I was thinking of that long block, but choose to go with the one from CCM. It was cheaper and is rated at 320 flywheel HP. Plus CCM warranties there engines where FMS...

    Car wont start, security system is stopping it i think....

    Get rid of the alarm! I had a viper on my car when I first got it, and it ended up messing up the ignition. The alarm wouldn't fully disarm and had a ignition kill. After getting rid of the alarm I ended up replacing the ignition module and starter. My advice is to put in a kill switch or...

    Be on the lookout for this stolen mustang...

    I feel your pain! I used to have a 87 GT that was stolen from a local mall. It was recovered the next day minus the engine, trans, and some other misc. stuff. Scum bag car thieves should have their hands chopped off! :uzi:

    Just curious, what bad things did you here about AMP?

    Shop for Mods in Phoenix, AZ area?

    Depends on what kind of work your looking to get done. I've had some minor things done there with no problems. Levy Racing in Tempe also specializes in mustangs, never had work done there but heard good things. Turbo RX was a local chandler shop that recently went under. I thought there work...

    AMP on University and 40th street is pretty reliable. They installed gears in my friend's 94 GT with no problems.

    Cobra struck by Lightning on ebay

    I bet that cobra handle's really well! :notnice: That's just plain stupid. Might as well leave the hood off. He could of sold the stock hood instead of chopping it up? :bang:

    Fake Hood Scoop ?

    I like the looks of the hood, but also not a fan of it being non-fuctional. I'm surprised more newer GT owners have'nt tried to make their scoops functional rather than change the hood or go with the shaker. I'm not sure on the clearance between the intake and the hood, but would it be...

    89Gt VS. 98 cobra?

    Your launch depends on how well your tires bite. With 3.73's 1500rpm would probably be good, maybe walk it out a little before you completely nail it. If you can get a jump on the cobra you got a good chance. The dohc motors pull hard at top end, but if you get a jump on him it'll be your...

    89Gt VS. 98 cobra?

    What gears do you have? Is the 98 Cobra stock? A stock 1/4 mi time for a 98 Cobra is a 13.9 @102. Depending on driver and tires could be better/worse. :(

    Installing Cobra emblem on a GT...

    I admit I have cobra emblems where the 5.0 badges used to be. IMO the snake emblems look better, and besides everyone knows it's a 5.0 anyways. I would never pawn my car off as being a real cobra. From the mods I have done it is actually closer to a cobra R than it is to a GT. When I first...

    ricers

    I saw a Toyota Echo the other day with racing stripes, stickers, and a huge wing! The really funny thing was that it still had the factory hubcaps on. That person must liked to be laughed at. :shrug:

    GOD I HATE FLOWMASTER

    It seems most newer mustangs have bassani exhaust, although I have heard good things the prices are through the roof. It is always nice to try something different. With my budget mac were seemed good enough. How does the Hooker aero chamber mufflers sound compare to the flows?

    GOD I HATE FLOWMASTER

    I switched from flowmaster 2-chambers to a mac catback. The sound is a little different not much though. Mac has a HTS coating that won't rust. The flows I took off were still in ok shape one muffler had a dent in it but no rust. I've been quite pleased with the mac exhaust so far!

    Motor swaps

    If you're going for a cobra R transformation the lightning motor is a sohc 5.4, that barely revs over five grand. How about the Navigatore 5.4 dohc? Change the cams, intake, and rework the heads, ofcourse good luck finding some of those 'R' parts. Most of them aren't listed in the FRPP...

    Contour vs Focus

    My dad used to own a 98 SVT contour, man what a sweet engine those DOHC motors sure rev up nice. Although I was not impressed with the trans it felt a little weak. Since they quit making the contours I would go with the focus. An out of warranty contour could be costly! See how cramped the...

    Offset rack bushings...New alignment needed after installing??....

    When I had FMS "C" springs I installed the baer bump steer kit to correct the problem of bump steer. Later down the road I had to replace the heim joints on the baer tie rods, which I was confused to why they would wear out, anyways the shop that was working on the car replaced the rack...

    IN NEED OF HELP!!! BRAKE SYSTEM!

    A few 5.0 mags back they had a comparison test between the 00'R and 03 Cobra. The braking test revealed the 03 Cobra would fade excessively at high speed stops where the 00'R did not. I think upgrading the front brakes to a 4-piston caliper such as Brembo, Baer, or Stoptech would definetly be...

    Rolling inner fender lip

    I pretty much have the same setup with 255/40 up front on my 91. I took an adjustable pair of pliers and used a small block of wood, with a rag underneath it carefully sort of pinched the inner lip. The wood block on the outside of the fender with rag or towel between the wood and the paint...

    Mustang vs. Civic

    I agree ofcourse a car w/ more cylinders and same compression will generally win. It would also cost much more to get a 4 cyl into into the 13's than it would for a V6. You got to admit though, a little more than five years ago there was no such thing as a stock civic, neon, sentra, impreza...
