    Clearance Issues With Exhaust Cut-Outs

    Take the midpipe with the cats right out and store it. Install an O/R (off-road, i.e. no cats) midpipe. Install the cutouts just ahead of the mufflers, with the bypass fork aimed toward the DS (drive shaft) so that they look like sleeve clamps.

    Progress pics of my light titanium notch

    Not remotely true. I also have the MM coilovers, panhard and HD torque arm. I was lazy when I installed it, and hacked off the tail pipes with a sawzall so I could get it on the road. However, when it came time to run the car through emissions they wouldn't touch it. I had NO TROUBLE AT ALL...

    rack shifting?

    Then tighten the rack. Definitely don't keep driving it until you do.

    87 88 thunderbird rear in a mustang

    Why would it obviously be rubbing on the outside? If it is then either the car is too low, or you simply need to use a panhard- something every Mustang should have had from the factory anyway. As everyone knows, the '93 Cobra has the turbo coupe rear, and I had no issues using 255 DR's on pony...

    Girlfriend called my car "cute" - insulted, doing some mods now

    I don't think that's his car... I believe you can see someone else's under carriage.

    Girlfriend called my car "cute" - insulted, doing some mods now

    Put a manual rack in there and let her negotiate the Walmart parking lot one time... she'll never call it cute again.

    engine: white smoke at high rpm

    Usually white smoke means too much fuel in my experience. Or valve seals, but that shouldn't be an issue on [new heads?].

    Clearance Issues With Exhaust Cut-Outs

    If the car is primarily a track car, (and you're so concerned about bypassing the cats) I'd put the catted pipe in the shed and run an O/R pipe, then put the cut outs in front of the mufflers. That's where I've always seen them, facing in towards the DS so they aren't noticeable.

    87 88 thunderbird rear in a mustang

    Where is the rubbing? Inside, outside, or on the quad shocks? What are you using for springs? You should be able to run a 255 tire without rubbing, especially with the extra 3/4" of clearance that rear gives you.

    rack shifting?

    It has nothing to do with whether you are or aren't using aluminum bushings. Either the rack bolts aren't tight enough, or there's something internally wrong with it which is just as likely. Or, it isn't the rack at all. Lift the hood and get someone to turn the wheel for you lock to lock while...

    Agreed. Digital Ghost, you just made me blow my load all over again... now that wasn't very nice.

    Anyone have a no-start/battery problem after Grant steering wheel?

    Nope, it was the cables. Honestly, I've never seen battery cables this far gone. I'm quite ashamed of myself.

    Anyone have a no-start/battery problem after Grant steering wheel?

    Yeah, I pulled the ground wire out last night, and the last two inches before the block were hard as a rock. Me thinks it wasn't working too well. Good to see you're still quick on the draw here posting. Since getting the Cobra I've been spending most of my time over at svtperformance.com, but...

    Anyone have a no-start/battery problem after Grant steering wheel?

    Thanks Hissin. No, I didn't do anything for the cruise, because it hasn't worked in like... 6 years, and I didn't miss it so it got nixed. Didn't want to lose the horn, which works fine. At this point I think it was a combination of a bad battery (now replaced) and 19 year old cables. I think...

    Anyone have a no-start/battery problem after Grant steering wheel?

    All I can think is that I did installed it wrong and there's some kind of draw from the horn or something- or screwed something else up during the install to cause similar symptoms.

    "Done"? I don't think that word can be used properly in a sentence about a Mustang.

    Indeed. The offisah knows his way around his camera to, that's a great shot. Very desktop worthy. :nice:

    I want to know what he paid for the camera that took those pictures.
