    What would cause uneven tread wear in the rear???

    also check that all your pivot points are operating correctly. Was the tire worn in little spots, or evenly around the edge. If it was worn in patches, it could be a bent rim, or a horribly blown shock, or even a deteriorated (I cant spell) bushing.

    pulling engine

    I meant to put a comma between radiator and fan, implying both should be removed. And the labeling is a really good I dea if you are not incredibly familiar with what is under your hood. Alot of the wiring can come off with the motor, by unpluging the main harness plug. That huge square...

    Rear/Underside Mounted Turbo Setup.

    some of the downsides of rear mounting a turbo are: A turbo is very dependant on heat to help it spool fast. Alot of the heat is lost by the time the gasses reach the back of the car. Plumbing is another huge concern. There is a lot of room for failure when you run pressure pipes the...

    Bowing out gracefully

    I bowed out of the mustang scene 2 years ago, but I am back. I bowed out to race, and build some imports up. Well, I still love that, nothing beats the sound and feel of a sbf. You will be back! BTW: I just sold my CBR 600 F4i, I was gonna kill myself on that thing.

    03/04 Cobra front bumper on our cars

    I like it, If it fit well, I would buy one now. I am sick of the saleen, and I have a cobra bumper in my garage (real ford). But I like that b/c it looks clean on the car, and would look great with sideskirts.

    If it is all bassani it shouldnt take more than 3 hours on the driveway, and 1.5 hours at a shop. It is really a simple install especially if you have done a few, and have a lift.
