    Grrr, no template for my Cobra grille insert

    Basicly what I did was measure how much of a margin you have on all four sides where it scoops in and mark it out on the front bumper, try and go conservative at first and test fit it. It probably took me a couple hours to put mine in because I prefer to start small and then trim it with a...

    83 H-pipe or X-pipe

    Need a little 5.0 advice

    I have shorties and explorer intake and I feel like it was worth every penny. I paid $100 for the intake and full price for the headers which was $179.

    90stang5speed Rear Mounted Turbo Project Thread

    We still use props.... one of our newest jets is a prop plane. Props is a way more sophisticated system and way more moving parts but it is highly effective and is cutting edge technology..... ok I'm done with my $.02 of aviation knowledge.

    How does the inside of your stang smell?

    I used to work at a tire shop that somewhat detailed cars and when we got in work trucks with muddy carpet we would completely remove the carpet and pressure wash it and then use a shop vac to remove most of the water soap and dirt, but when I did that to my own truck this musty smell lingered...

    How does the inside of your stang smell?

    I figured I would add to the list of useless question threads in the talk section. I searched but all I could find is people bitching about exhaust fumes. Interestingly enough I found out through a little research that the new car smell causes cancer, little fun fact there for you...

    turbo failure

    You cant compare 16 gauge sheetmetal to cast iron, two different tensile strengths, one is more malleable and the other is somewhat brittle, especially with the thermal cycles of a turbo.

    My 89 LX Build Thread!

    03 Cobra wheels! Was that even one of the options? I think you'd be better off stuffing the engine in the lx looked like the gt has some serious damage to the front, looks costly.

    What kind of MPG on your Fox?

    I've always just thought higher octane meant better performance...... When you have your timing at 14* btdc do you need to go up in octance? I'm going to do a gear swap and go with a 5-speed later this year so hopefully that will help.

    What kind of MPG on your Fox?

    I know what it is, you guys have that active engine management system where it cuts off half the engine at highway speeds? If I could get mileage like that I wouldnt be getting a daily driver! I was thinking all my driving would have to be considered city because its constantly stop and...
