    Brake kits shootout

    I asked a lot of these questions before finding picking the Brembo kit for the front, and the Baer kit in the rear. Best compromise between cost and performance. If money is no object, go for the stoptech. Avoid wilwood and SSBC for OT. They're fine for the street, but flex too much for...

    fox brakes suck

    Go here. http://digitallights.com/somethingwicked/index.html You can buy the wheels at Partshopper. http://www.partshopper.com/catalog/itemdisplay/548.html I'm very impressed with the quality of the wheel. The chrome finish is superb.

    Is this enough clearance? (pics)

    Actually, they are already flipped. They would hit already if they werent. Also, the clearance might be better when I get the car down on wheels. Yes, they are. ;) 1 1/4" front, 1" rear. But the car is a stripper. No rear seat, racing seats inside. I had about 2" of gap on the old...

    Is this enough clearance? (pics)

    Hi. I put 275/40 DR's on the back, but decided to be crazy and leave my quad shocks on. They clear... But barely. I've got about 1/4" between the rim and the quad, and about 1/2" from the tire to the rear pipe (it's a Flowmaster 2.5") Now, I've got steeda LCA, and Ford HD uppers with...

    Standard vs. offset axle bearings: INFO Only

    Hi, Not a question, just something I learned. Had to hit two stores as I sought a knowledgable clerk who understood what kind of axle bearings the 8.8 took. The pic on the left is a standard Timken bearing, and the green piece of metal to the left is the seal (upside down). The much...

    fox brakes suck

    Yes. Fox brakes suck. That's why I did this: An astute reader will notice that the last pic in the series is of the other side of the car. For those interested, I just got done slapping on the Baer Touring kit on the rear. Went with Moser 5-lug axles, and...

    Color ideas for Brake Calipers

    no opinion on color here. But when you're ready to paint, I've had good luck with Eastwoods paint: http://www.eastwoodcompany.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=10270Z&Dep_Key1=

    T/A Differential Girdles: Who sell's em?

    http://www.taperformance.com/rearend.htm Who carries these, other than T/A? I know they make the girdle for the FRPP catalog. I would just buy the SVO girdle, but I want the low-profile load bolts.

    20 RWHP or BS?

    Hey, why don't you post the store's phone number up here? I think we could all use a little holiday cheer and calling and asking for Mustang advice... :lol:

    20 RWHP or BS?

    Interesting timing for this. A month back I replaced my intake and T.B. I also did many clean up things, and one of them was blocking the coolant. I did for a cleaner look, and I like it: I don't think it added any horsepower, however... My intake does stay cooler to the touch...

    ATTN: Polishers - got a quick question

    You'll need a power tool, bar none. A dremel is OK, just use an 80 grit flap disc, not the tiny little mandrels. A die grinder is a much better choice, I've had much better results with one, rather than a dremel. http://digitallights.com/somethingwicked/past_projects.html I also...

    Pics of Steeda Strut Tower Braces

    The 2-point you just pull the old bolts out, and put it on using the new, longer bolts. Dang easy. I have the 4-pt KB brace, and it went on w/o a problem. For the strut tower, I had to drill all the holes. Use a cobalt drill bit, and a good drill. some of that steel is over 1/4" thick...

    stupid newb stereo setup...

    Ugh. Don't do that. Go to a real stereo shop, and have them drop a couple entry-level subs into a pre-fab box. You can do it all for like $200, and you'll get infinitly better bass, and you'll have something that is upgradeable, and you won't hate after a year. Last I checked, the JL...

    Pics of Steeda Strut Tower Braces

    I have the steeda strut-tower brace. It mounts with standard bolts. Mine happen to have hex-nut fittings that you can hand-screw in, but that's just for looks I suppose. Two bolts go into the firewall, and then three on each strut tower. The brace didn't fit my passenger side tower quite...

    Newbie Here! Need some help with lowering springs and tinting...

    mjaggy, glad to have you here. For lowering springs, no you don't need c/c plates. They are a very good idea for all mustangs though, since the stock fairmont unibody pretty much sucks for any sort of handling. For springs, there are many different kinds to go with, but you'll find that...

    I'd forgotten about this thread! I finally finished up my intake project last months. More pics and details can be found at my el crapola website... http://digitallights.com/somethingwicked/past_projects.html Good over-all shot of the engine. Once I finish with all this brake / wheel...

    Lack bass on burned CD's

    Wierd is more like it. I've burned more CD's than I'd care to admit, both from MP3's and straight CD copy's. While the MP3's tended to lack bass because of the conversion from PCM to compressed format, and then back again, the staright copies always sounded as good as the original. Don't...
