    SICK Of The Monster-Truck Look... Lowering Springs For 265/285 Tires.

    Thanks for the photos guys, beautiful cars indeed!! Neither of you have any rubbing or issues with that amount of lowering? That level of lowering looks great, but I would have assumed going that far would cause issues. Just wondering if 265/285 tires with that much lowering would cause...

    SICK Of The Monster-Truck Look... Lowering Springs For 265/285 Tires.

    HUH?!! FRPP All OVER THE PLACE in ride height... Upon looking at customer photos on the AM website, I just cannot help but notice that the customer pics show some very significant variances in ride heights on those running the FRPP C-Springs. They look like they are ALL OVER the place in ride...

    SICK Of The Monster-Truck Look... Lowering Springs For 265/285 Tires.

    Thanks a lot everyone, all excellent input here!! :nice: A quick look into those H&R Super Sport springs show that they seem to lower the car a bit more than the Ford lowering springs, and that amount of lowering does make the car look pretty darn nice from viewing customer photos on the AM...

    SICK Of The Monster-Truck Look... Lowering Springs For 265/285 Tires.

    I am looking to drop the "monster-truck" look that Ford had designed from the factory on my 2003 Mustang GT. My particular question involves finding the correct set/brand/type/etc of lowering springs that will give me a "sport-car" look, yet NOT rub against my 265 front tires, and 285 rear...

    Cleaning white interior..

    Was that white + black interior a factory offering? Before seeing the photo, I figured I would hate the look of a white colored interior, but I have got to say that the color combo looks great as well as very unique. Very nice.

    Got the turd detailed *pics*

    I used to live in the northeast, and now live in the south. You would be shocked at how much cheaper many services go for in the south compared to NY/NJ area. In addition, if you find professionals who provide their services on the side after work hours, you can get TOP NOTCH services for dirt...

    GMP Mustang Diecast

    I have an old 1/18 diecast of a MotorMax '67 Chevelle which I just put my Mustang next to. Next to the chevelle diecast, the Mustang diecast looks just as it would in person, until I look at them from the top, front and rear views. Thats when the mustang looks very unnatural looking compared...

    GMP Mustang Diecast

    THANK YOU Mustang5L5!!! That is the CORRECT dimension to make it 1/18 scale! Mine measures a little under 3.5. Thats the 1/4 inch I was talking about to make equal scale. THANK YOU!!!

    GMP Mustang Diecast

    Thanks for the posts guys. The detail is incredible, but the width is at least 1/4" too small to be accurate to the height and length. I had not seen any pics online showing a direct view of the front, or the rear, or the top, otherwise I would easily have noticed it. I like to buy the best...

    GMP Mustang Diecast

    Has anyone here collected a foxbody mustang diecast from GMP? I looked online at pics of them and they looked absolutely stellar, so I purchased three different versions. I just received a 1991 Blue Street Fighter 1/18 diecast just now and there is definitely a noticeable difference in scale...

    Spark Plugs, Beam Torque Wrench?

    :nice: EXCELLENT post wmburns:nice: I guess some folks choose ego over doing it correctly. Perhaps that shows why some people have the blowout issues, and others who torque it, dont have to mess with inserts and new heads.

    Spark Plugs, Beam Torque Wrench?

    LOL, Simply search the board for "spark plug blowout" or even google it. Theres TONS of occurances on this topic. If that doesnt reassure you that its not something to take lightly, then I dont know what else to say!

    Spark Plugs, Beam Torque Wrench?

    Um, to those questioning the OP's usage of a TW for the plugs, with the mod motors (aluminum heads and 3 freaking threads for the plugs) torqing them is a NECESSITY. On my foxes, it would never cross my mind to have used a torque wrench, and never did I use one. Mod motors--different story...

    1993 GT - Dipstick PN

    I would like to know the correct part number of the 1993 GT engine oil dipstick. My dipstick shows much higher than the max line after an oil change (yes I drain both plugs, and filter and fill 5 quarts etc) and I am hoping to get the correct part number. Searching the topic here on the forums...

    Throttle Sticks On New Edges Too?

    I will check the cable and oil it to see if that resolves the issue. I have the mat hook, but noticed when my mat was hooked in proper position, my mat was coming up over the bottom of the pedal on a few occurance. I assumed that to be the cause of the sticking, but now after moving it off the...

    Throttle Sticks On New Edges Too?

    I know this is a common occurance on the foxes, but on the newer mustangs also?! Had my 2003 for a very brief time and have pressed the gas pedal down 3/4 of the way three times already, and all thee times it felt as if the gas pedal hung up on somthing for a second or two. I moved my brand...
