    Photo Tips

    I neglected to apologize for making photos that are a problem to you. On third thought, :lol: ask your therapist to prescribe something to relax you; at this rate you'll wear yourself out in very short order. More problem photos: http://www.fototime.com/inv/F0AD994E05BF1D4 Toodles ...

    Photo Tips

    Ya got that right, Pilgrim ... It's especially difficult to get reasonable tones and detail in a black car photo. I'm afraid HDR would be like golf: I'd become addicted and abandon all else in pursuit of perfection. I do have some blue-like sky in some other shots (Coronado Speed Festival...

    What Owning a Mustang is All About

    #371 goes down the mountain into Palm Desert. A couple of the turnouts are favorite hang-glider launching areas. 243 from Idyllwild to Banning is a good one, too. Saturday is the Black Mustang Club "Bumblebee III" run, where we hope the Yellow Mustang Club members will unbend long enough to...

    What Owning a Mustang is All About

    I've had Autopower rollover bars in four of my race cars (and one "street" model) and never been disappointed. Never "tested" any of them either, thank goodness. I'll have to meander over to Autopower, about a mile and a half from here, and see what they'll do for me this time. I got good...

    Photo Tips

    Not everyone can find such a place, but open shade in high-noon lighting is a useful light tool. That super photo-processing software GusinCA sold you will deal with color balance issues your camera neglects. I spent part of today looking at car photos just to see what focal length I liked...

    Post Pics of Your Mustang

    "18/27" on the first two, "35/52" on the third (is that a trade secret? sorry). Excellent photographs by an accomplished photographer, from a fine camera. If you don't have the "eye" and the technique, the equipment and numbers don't matter. I admire your work.

    Post Pics of Your Mustang

    He's right on both counts; credit where it's due. I especially like the clean, uncluttered look. No need for pointers or drama; the car stands on its own merit. Good on ye.

    Annoying "squeaky" sound in the rear

    For the OP's original post, it seems to me the sqeak could be rear suspension. I had such a noise in one previous rear sway bar configuration. Sprayed WD40 on one bushing at a time to isolate it, and it turned out to be the right rear end "link" bushing vs. the bar. Next time I made a change I...

    275/40r18 will fit, but........

    I didn't have worse wandering problems with Pirelli Pzero Neros (GT take-off 235-55-17) than with: Bridgestone RE-01Rs at 245-45-18 were twitchy under light braking at low speeds; 275-35-19 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s are a little twitchy in low-speed, light braking; no rubbing or other major...

    What's too fast for a V6 Mustang?

    Would you call a 1989 Toyota automatic pickup the equivalent of a "lower-end" Mustang, 100 mph-cruising-wise? I made daily long-run drives at or near that speed when the truck was a couple years old (upgraded tires and shocks) and it is still willing to do it today, after 150,000 miles (I'm...

    How fast have you got your v6?

    This came over from Excel better than I expected: MANUAL TRANS (Tremec 3650) AUTO TRANS (5R55S) Tire Width (mm) = 235 Tire Width (mm) = 275 Tire Profile = 55 Tire Profile = 35 Wheel Dia (in) = 17 Wheel Dia (in) = 19 Gear Ratio = 3.31...

    How fast have you got your v6?

    I'll bet you could interpret this data to tell rpm vs mph in a stock V6 automatic Mustang: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2177/2196907768_4331b47c4a_o.jpg data - looks like fourth gear to me - http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2296/2196119507_07b9b8f4b4_o.jpg graph (Stock in this case means: K&N...

    New Xcal3 + tune...any precautions?

    I was hesitant at first; eventually I followed the instructions, and it did what it was supposed to do. I was a bit alarmed when there was no confirmatory message saying the stock tune had been preserved, and nothing to indicate the new tune was in effect. I've done and undone all the...

    Powder Coat Rims

    I read a "metallurgist" guessing the long, slow powder-coat oven process might have a deleterious effect on aluminum wheels. I'd hate to have even a tiny wheel failure at speed. There are quite a few all-black and all-white wheels out there. I wonder how many of them are actual powder-coat...

    Installed Rollbar Today

    Thank you. I'm looking forward to the pics that show what alterations to the interior were necessary. Pretty exciting ... I've raced five different cars with Autopower bars. Never tested one, fortunately.

    Installed Rollbar Today

    Autopower? I could see my house from there! (hyperbole, but not much) What was the bill, Parts and Labor, if you don't mind telling?
