    Mongoose kit... Which ONE?

    Nothing wrong with the S-trim, and I'm glad I have it over the KB. I sure it is great in all to have the 'tons' of low-end torque, but it's meaningless if you can't put it down. Plus, Tim can tune the car in a way to give you more timing/fuel down low to create a bit more torque than the...

    Cruse and Track - Pictures

    Didn't tense up once, the helmet lulls you into a false sense of security :jaw: . No for sure the first time really sucked but luckily I was able to get it back in line without over correcting. Second time around it didn't come around as hard, but was more pissed b/c that was my last run of...

    Cruse and Track - Pictures

    I was a lot of fun. Couldn't find any traction b/c of the bits of water on the track. Ended up having to abort a fews runs at the the middle of third b/c I would hit a bit of water and the car would start to lose it at 70ish. My E.T.s were terrible (think my best one was 13.1, but I'm happy...

    Baer Claw Brakes

    Would be cheaper to go with the Cobra set up, or go: http://www.discbrakesrus.com/make/ford/cobra.htm and you can pick up a custom set-up still for cheaper and works just as well. The sponginess is a result of the rubber brake lines. If that is all you are wanting to get rid of, save...

    Tubular k-member on a street car

    Early edition of AJE k-member with tubular a-arms. Like I said, if I could do it again, I'd go MM or Griggs or nothing. There is a reason why MM and Griggs are well respected in the Auto-x/Road Racing community, and UPR is not...

    Tubular k-member on a street car

    Well I've had mine for almost 30k now and haven't noticed any problems with it. I try and check for cracks when I can, but haven't noticed anything. That doesn't mean I'm not worried about it though, but it seems to be holding up pretty well to the rigors of DD, drag, and a bit of auto-x.

    Tubular k-member on a street car

    I'd go with the MM k-member and a-arms if I could do it over again. Having peace of mind is worth the extra expense imo, plus you get several added benefits such as increased wheelbase, etc. There are also K-member that either allow the use of the stock control arms or have tubular a-arms that...

    Tires for a 10.5" wide wheel?

    Guess I've been lucky with mine...they have almost 20k miles on them and still have another 10k at least, are just fine in the rain, and I'm able to pull 2.0 60" times with them at the track with a blower :shrug:

    Best Street Brakes without breaking the Bank

    Thing is though, that's not the question that was asked. You don't know their financial situation so getting wheels/tires may not be an option. Maybe she already has new(ish) tires on the car and doesn't want to go through the hassle of selling them off to offset the cost of the wheels...

    prochamber or lowering springs

    I'd go with the springs first. You'll get more benefits from a good spring/damper setup than you would from the prochamber. After that, look into gears, then a mid-pipe...

    Best Street Brakes without breaking the Bank

    13in Cobra brakes will not fit on the 16" wheels so suggesting the Cobra/Mach upgrade is meaningless unless they decide to upgrade wheels. As been mentioned before, the car has single piston calipers, so the 99+ caliper upgrade, along with a more aggressive pad, paired with blank brembo rotors...

    Small Video I put together

    Nice little vid, but need to get a little throttle control to keep that rear inline (assuming it wasn't for video dramatics) ;)

    Austin Area Stangs (or texas mustang) Cruse!!

    It's $20 to race (only members of AAS are allowed to race), $10 for spectators, and kids under 12 are free I believe. Should be a lot of fun and am looking forward to racing both the Stang and the Passat ;)
