    rotor expansion causes rear brakes to lock up?

    Hi, as some of you know, I just installed a set of Baer brakes out back of my 91. I've taken it out 4 times now, for rotor seasoning, and gentle heat cycling. The last two times (since I'm starting to drive a little harder and longer), I've noticed that the pedal gradually gets HARDER to push...

    wheel tire combo

    More than one person has asked (or at least is curious), what the 275's look like mounted on the car. Well, here ya go. I snapped two pics tonight before today's "Rotor Seasoning" session: Quarter Panel Shot: And here is the full rear shot (showing the width of the tread nicely)...

    wheel tire combo

    Just about everyone does. :) I'm running 255/45-17 out front, 275/4-17 out back. I haven't snapped any "teaser" shots yet, with the wheels on now, but they look f'n sweet.

    Two Heater hose ?'s: EGR and Heater core

    They should sell pre-molded replacement lines at your local part store. The hoses are not the same diameter, one is slightly bigger than the other, at least mine are. FRPP sells a silicone kit for $99 that looks pretty good, and includes all new hoses. If you have the money, they're worth it.

    Removing the not on top of the strut

    FYI, it takes a special tool to remove this: http://www.eastwoodco.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=49019&I1.x=71&I1.y=56

    Yeah, this is a duplicate post. Ask your question in the other thread.

    100mph daily

    3.55's for sure, if you want to reach such a high speed. Although with a 3.73 you should be able to as well. It's not so much about being able to reach those speeds, but how quickly you can. I'd juggest adding 3.55's first, and then doing some engine stuff. And like the others, I don't...

    Lincoln rear brakes arent stopping the wheels!!

    When you put the new APV valve in, did you remember to gut the stock P.V.? As in removing the spring, the little piston valve, and putting the M-2450A plug in it's place?

    How much juice do I need from my Altenator?

    I'd pose this question to PA Performance. They should be able to hook you up with an alt that fits your front engine dress (assuming you have a 289, and that they don't have the same configuration as a modern 302). That being said, if they are similar enough, the cheapest route is to pick up...

    Lightweight lug nuts for mustang

    Um, I don't see this thread going anywhere productive except to a flame-fest. End result, we don't recommend aluminum lug nuts. There are many other ways to lighten a car, but since you've already made up your mind it seems, who are we to tell you differently?

    17x10.5s on a Fox Body

    What makes you think that? Are we talking about street tires, or for drag racing? I'm running nitto 275/40 drag radials, and they stick like glue once they're heated up. Even in the dead of winter while I was driving around on the street, I noticed a significant decrease in my ability to spin...

    The Truth about FOX FRONT BRAKES!

    And screw you too. I've only managed to make it three pages in, but you've come across as arrogant and a know-it-all. I believe the title of this thread should be: "My opinion about FOX brakes". I'll :lock: this thread for now, just to give me a chance to catch up on the reading. If I...

    17x10.5s on a Fox Body

    17x10.5" IN FRONT? :shrug: With wheel spacers, I hope. And god, that has to look like crap. A 9" wheel is almost too wide for the front. I suppose a 10.5" could fit in back, i've heard it being done before. I just stuck with 17x9" all around, and I have almost NO clearnace out back. Any...

    good place to buy original ford parts?

    http://www.oemfordparts.com/ I've not bought from them, but they quoted me some good prices.

    93 M.C., is the plastic reservoir detachable?

    Well, I'll take the chance, I guess. I have a trim puller, which should put equal pressure on all sides of it. So long as it can be pulled straight out, I should OK. I could always re-use my stock one, if I break this one. Cool, Thanks.

    Tires for 17x9 Cobra rims

    While I only have 2.5" exhaust, I have plenty of room with 275's out back. I do have rear disc, so I don't know if that pushes the whell out at all, but I have at least .5" of space on each side by the exhaust. The exhausts can be moved more inboard as well, just trim the hanger a little bit...

    93 M.C., is the plastic reservoir detachable?

    I picked up a 1993 Master Cylidner for my disc brake upgrade. And of course, since I'm a polishing fiend, it needs to be sanded and polished as well. Now, I *could* work around the plastic piece, but good god, that would suck. Can I pry it off, and if I do, will I break it doing so...

    How On Earth!!!!!!!!!!!

    I used a pully puller from Autozone. It's free with a CC. Getting it off is easy. Putting it back on is not, as the threads on my were pretty well toast.
