    Front end suspension rebuild kit

    I was going to get my kit from mustang plus but 2 things put me off. Firstly i would rather use Midolyne bushings as my car is for street use, it will never see a track, so i dont want a harsh and squeeky ride. Secondly a lot of poeple on this board have had bad things to say about...

    Spongy rear suspension, but i have KYB GR-2's...???

    To be honest, as i live in Ireland its just not worth buying parts in dribs and drabs due to the cost of postage, so i think i'll make use of the strong euro against the $ and buy new springs and shocks. At least that way i sort out the problem. One more question for Historic: I have...

    Spongy rear suspension, but i have KYB GR-2's...???

    There are 4 leafs making up the spring and they look like they could easily have been on the car since 1968!

    Spongy rear suspension, but i have KYB GR-2's...???

    I have the car over a year now but the KYB's were on the car when i bought it. They dont look very old but i have no idea how long they are on the car. If you press on the rear wing with only the slightest pressure it drops down easily, so you can imagine what its like around corners. Is...

    Do 14" wheels = poor handling?

    So, has anyone got pics of a 245/60/14 set up? My total wheel diameter is around 24.5", which is considerably less than the 26" mentioned above, and i must admit, the whole thing looks a little small for the car. Can someone even measure the diameter of thier wheels for me?

    Is 68 dash matt black or satin black?

    I ask this because i want to give mine a fresh coar while its out and i'm not sure which type of black paint to use. Also is the underdash and the inner doors a satin black also?

    Do 14" wheels = poor handling?

    So you ran 245/60/14, yet mine are 235/60/14, which i think means the diameter of my wheel with tyre is less than yours? So one of these sizes must the wrong size as a difference in wheel diameter results in an innacurate sppedo, correct?

    Do 14" wheels = poor handling?

    But does the fact that there is so much rubber between the car and the road with a 14" wheel mean that there is exessive play, or does it really matter?

    Do 14" wheels = poor handling?

    I ask you this because i have 14" Torque Thrust D's with 235 60 tyres on them. I now need a whole new set of tyres and was wondering should i go the whole way and get bigger wheels? As i live in Ireland getting new wheels requires a considerable effort and wait, so if the only difference is...

    How much difference do gears REALLY make?

    Is this gear ratio mod done from the gear box or from the rear? If thats a really dumb question, i appologise, but i know nothing about this.

    Just saw a brand new 05 mustang in a parking lot today.

    Yeh, i've got a 68 GT fastback, but i want one of those. A true Mustang. Give me 18 months and i'll have one of those sitting in my Driveway here in Ireland.

    New Stripes!! Black GT

    Very, very nice. Shouldn't look subtle, but it just does. Probably becuase the car isn'y full of front/side scoops and fake nonsense. Any chance of a side profile to see those side stripes. I did think grey was the best colour but i'm beggining to think black just might have the edge.

    What is up with this?

    My Audi A6 had the very same problem resently. I would be driving along and suddenly i would realise that the engine had stopped running and all the lights on the dash were on. Power sterring would die, power brakes would die, everything. It turned out to be the Thermo Sender unit. It was...

    Saleen pics are up!

    Do i love it? No. Do i like it? Yes. Would i buy it? Absoloutly not, but then i don't like the Saleen look anyway, not simple enough for my tatses. But it is the best looking aftermarket 05 i've seen yet. Its not grotesque like the other kits we've seen to date. It actually looks...

    Test drove a V6 this weekend...

    Yeh, that all makes sense, the needs in North America differ from Europe and your petrol is way cheaper, for the moment, so it makes no odds to you guys if you have a 3.0 or a 4.0 V6, which is great. If the car ever came out in Europe i would suspect, but may be wrong, that it would have a...
