    Starter / Electrical / Stereo help needed

    Hey, you're welcome, and Thank You for your advice and helping me resolve this problem so quickly. I can't get over the complexity of the situation the newer electronic marvel cars of today have from just a bad battery! :shock: This may have been a simple situation for some, but for myself...

    Starter / Electrical / Stereo help needed

    Well, I assume it was a cell, why I say that is when I took it to the battery store and it was put on their check machine, it had a 12.8 volt reading. When they applied the test to the battery, it said "needs charging" and proceeded to do so. The readout on the machine then stated "Cold Cranking...

    Starter / Electrical / Stereo help needed

    Man I am glad I checked back on this before I went and spent $299 for the Ford Racing High Torque Starter! :hail2: I had decided to pull the starter and get a new one per my Ford Tech Friend, . . . but before I did I decided to come here one more time and see if there were any new posts...

    XCal2 Questions

    I use the Predator in my Mustang but my Stepson has the SCT in his. I will say the SCT does load the tunes a bit faster and yes you can switch back and forth from an 87 tune to a 93 tune in a matter of a few mins. $380 is the a good price and seems par to a lot of places. My Stepson's cost...

    Since it won't even turn over with a full charged battery now I can't check it, but thanks for the tip and when I get it to run I will check that out. :nice: Thanks for adding your tech to this. Yeah, my thoughts were similar to yours too, I forgot to mention that I did clean the cables and...

    Why do the stock CC plates look like this?

    The rivets are different to adjust the Camber setting to within specs, altough there isn't much adjustment it can be tweeked a little. All the loose Ford tolerances that are stacked up from side to side will often create the situation you have. Before I put CC plates on mine they were the same...

    Traction Control Switch

    Salvage yards have them for a dime a dozen, well maybe not that cheap :D but I'd say for almost nothing you could get one there. :shrug:

    request for pictures

    Some of the ones out there have had problems with noise after the install, I'd say MM's or Steada's 4-bolt designs. I chose Steeda's, I did polish them up a bit as they don't come with that much shine :D .

    Starter / Electrical / Stereo help needed

    Here is something I need help in figuring out and I am hoping some of you can chime in and help me with this. I took the Mustang for a 20 mile long ride mostly in town, no romping and when I turned it off the scenario below occurred: - Shut off the Car and the CD player keeps trying to...

    Will this or won't this rub?

    I lowered the Mach with MRT racing springs and dropped the rear another 1/2" with the Steeda adjustable control arms. I run 275's out back and before I dropped the rear an extra 1/2" it would rub the tire on the outside wheel well. Since then I have put an MM Panhard bar on controlling the...

    Mach 1 Mach or '05+

    Of course you'd expect me to say the Mach1 since I have one, so . . . get the Mach1! :D Now, some of my reasons: First the only thing the Mach really needs to handle equal (or better) than the S197's is a Panhard bar and a set of handling shocks and struts. That alone will do it...

    Cost to race at your local drag strip???

    I raced out at "The Farm" for years but it's been a few years back since I moved away, it was a very good place to race then but has changed hands since. From what I can see from their web-site it has a few improvements and is still a great place for an 1/8 mile track. Here is the link to...

    suspension install time

    I'd say try the Auto-x first if at all possible since the speeds are slower and rules make certain there is nothing to hit (tire walls etc.) in their course layouts. That way you can dial in the handling closer to what you'll need on the big tracks. Here is your region's web-site for the SCCA...

    suspension install time

    Well said, yep, now that you do not have any lateral movement that is created from the stock control arms soft rubber bushings and no PHB, your Mustang's body doesn't tend to keep going while the tires don't in a corner. When that inertia is built up in the body and the tires stop sliding that...

    Has anyone heard this before?

    The only thing I would think you would do that for is if the car has a problem that it wants to keep on running when it's shut off???, then you'd have to leave it in gear while you let the clutch out. :shrug:

    NASCAR wheels and tires

    Yes, it is a free country to do so, but at least agree to disagree with the knowledge to be agreeing to agree that you can agree about facts of a subject and not to disagree about things that may not be correct, agree? Here are a couple shots of the new Mustangs that raced, which the number...

    Throw out bearing? Help

    By design if the clutch is adjusted properly the TOB would not even be touching the pressure plate and therfore would not be turning at all when the clutch is all the way out. If there is a noise and the TOB is not touching the pressure plate when the clutch is let out all the way, then it...

    275/40x17's ...

    A lot of people do it but in reality a 275/40-17 fits best on a 9.5" wide wheel, some work great even on a 9" wide. The stock 8" wide wheel will pinch a 275/40 some what. A case where an 8" wheel works with a 275 tire is when it's a drag radial with low tire pressure. As far as rubbing...
