    Suspension Add Me To The Broken Rear Sway Bar Club...

    I didn't take any pics of that. If it helps, it actually mounts in the lower control arms. Found this pic online... does this help at all?

    Suspension Add Me To The Broken Rear Sway Bar Club...

    I found one through Craigslist and I picked it up today. It is now installed, and my car is quiet once again! Also, I noticed that it broke right across the driver side rear bolt hole. The break was pretty clean, but it was rusted on one side, and clean metal on the other. I guess there was a...

    I had a loose shock that was bouncing around a lot. I jacked up the upper threads of the shock installing it so it wouldn't tighten down. I think the (limited) driving I did with it like that caused enough vibration to break the sway bar. So my fault. If the replacement breaks too.... (puts...

    I'm gonna hit the junkyards tomorrow. They said the sway bars there are $23+tax. Hopefully they have something

    Awesome. The Ford dealer said that the new stock GT bar is $138 and the new Cobra bar is $132.62. I didn't expect the Cobra bar to be less but hmm. Now I gotta see if I can get a discount on it somehow lol. If my old body shop can order it I know I can get another 30% off or so. It seems like...

    Suspension Add Me To The Broken Rear Sway Bar Club...

    Well, I got under my car today to replace a rear shock that I damaged irreparably last weekend, and to install a Mach1 style front spoiler. All of that went smoothly, but when I was under the back of the car, I noticed that when I was jacking it up the sway bar was moving somewhat...

    320 miles on a full tank

    Plus, seeing as I have 8K miles of records under my belt, I can track to see if lowering the car actually helps mileage or not. The BBK CAI did nothing for mileage despite claims.

    320 miles on a full tank

    Bam... I get around 320 miles out of a tank pretty easily. The ABSOLUTE-sputtering-CEL-on-coasting-into-the-gas-station-maximum I've gotten out of the car was (no kidding) 351 miles. Yes it ran out on the street and I coasted into the station, but I made it. Not too bad, and the...

    Wiper problems.. Multi-Function or Control box?

    Well guys I have had issues with my wipers basically since I've owned the car. I swapped out the Multi-function switch a while back and didn't really get much of a change in how they operate so I thought I would try and ask. What they USED to do was when I would turn on the wiper to any of...

    Fox One piece headlights...

    FWIW, I had one piece lights on my Ranger for a while. They looked great, but output was worse than the stock lights. Also, I threw them in the trash after trying to aim the beams. The damn adjuster snapped before I could get them raised up enough to light further than 25 feet in front of the...

    SN95 with Cobra front brakes

    One of the problems that people report while using the GT MC is a hard pedal. Sounds like the proper MC and adapter lines would go a long way into giving you what you want.

    SN95 with Cobra front brakes

    Ditto on the above. Did you swap the MC too? I have the entire front kit on my car and it stops nice and clean. Very confident stops indeed. Check to make sure it's bled right too.

    2 grand daily driver

    4 cylinder regular cab Ford Ranger. you should be able to get one in that range. low 20s mpg out of it and mid 20s on the highway. Might even tickle high 20s if you get a stick. Plus trucks are handy. Either that, or an Escort wagon with a stick.

    Win this Brothers Performance built 1995 Mustang GT!

    Entered. I already live in SoCal, so it would save the company money to just have me win. I don't need the flight to Temecula ;)

    2013 Shelby GT 500 to have 600+ hp 5.8 V8

    Am I the only one that thinks "what's the point"? It can't put the power down now.

    Car *won't* stall?

    As someone that also had to to do this (when you sprain your ankle pretty bad at work when you bring your Mustang, you really have no other choice), it sucks, but it's totally doable. If you let it out slow it will move. Torque, plus gears can make it happen. What gears are in the back? With...

    Ok, I've about had it with this

    I've "kind of" experienced this BUT.... Car is hot start car AC on Bogs down hard when AC clutch engages sometimes will stall. However, it will ONLY happen because of the AC clutch engaging. If I turn the AC off, it's never done it. Also, after driving it for a couple minutes, I can turn the...

    Added The New 2011 Emblems

    I plan to get a set next month when I buy the JLT CAI from them as well. Damn. You showing off some $20 emblems is gonna somehow turn into me buying $250 worth of parts. lol
