    Black wheels look sexy in my opinion....but like I said before, only on certain cars:

    Removing Spring Isolators?

    I installed my front springs today, and my friend said that I shouldn't take the iso's off, but I'm not happy with the drop yet. It dropped a good 2", but my front end was already able to fit 4+ fingers. I can now fit 2 fingers, so I'm hoping it'll settle and be a little bit lower. We're doing...

    Car Overheating: Not Thermostat

    I have never replaced the fan. I've owned the car since Dec 7, 2004. What's a good brand of fan to go with? The fan connector has melted in the past, and when I had the CCRM replaced, they put silicone sealant on the connector to keep it in place. This means that I am unable to easily...

    Car Overheating: Not Thermostat

    March 15, 2008. I don't drive it that much, so I go based on time period. I'm changing it this week as soon as I can make it to the store to pickup the supplies. No idea. How do I check? When I bought the car, the owner said he had replaced it, but it still looks plastic to me. Somewhere I...

    Car Overheating: Not Thermostat

    When it overheats past a certain point, the cap releases pressure and coolant blows out. Other than that, I don't think I'm losing coolant.

    Car Overheating: Not Thermostat

    My car started overheating just as soon as the temperatures started hitting near the triple digits. I've had a problem in the past with: leaking heater core (~1.5 years ago), busted PCM (~7 months ago), bad thermostat (~2 years ago), coolant temperature sensor (~2 years ago). I boiled my...

    160° vs 180° Thermostat?

    Which is better for a daily driver? I've heard of people getting 180° t-stats, but never a 160°. Thanks!

    Black Bezels or Smoked Taillights?

    I have been contemplating these two mods lately, and I only want to do one I think. So what should it be, paint the taillight bezels black, or smoke the taillights to 5%? My car is white. I have a black top, as well as black wheels, black bumper inserts, and bottom of rear bumper is painted...

    Clutches Anyone?

    If I remember correctly, the CenterForce DualFriction is more of a stage II than stage I. I absolutely love it regardless of what stage it is classified as. When I got my DF, I think it was around $250 through the shop. I could be terribly mistaken though.

    Look what I bought for $50

    Sweet! I'm gonna try to pick one up that looks a lot like that, but silver + glass instead of wood. $60 on Craigslist! Woot!

    98 GT Convertible - Replacing Front Driver Side Window?

    I've got my door panel off and the liner off. I can't figure out what to do next. Anyone??

    So finally got my mm full length subframes installed...

    I love my MM SFCs. I know what you mean about the car being much more stiff. It's a great feeling. Now go jack up either the driver side or passenger side FRONT of the car at the OEM jack point. See what happens to the back :) It's incredible. Sooo stiff.

    Where'd you get the wine rack? I've been looking for one on Craigslist, no luck on a good one yet.

    98 GT Instrument Cluster

    I need a new cluster, too. I was thinking about a junk yard, but if I can find a good aftermarket one that is decently priced, I'd prefer that. Anyone? Simco Ltd seems to only have the 99+ EDIT: Simco Ltd sells the 96-98 GT clusters...

    Clutches Anyone?

    I love my Centerforce DualFriction as well. It's a very good clutch, even for stock cars. On my car, it is lighter than the stock clutch, and shifts much better.

    98 GT Convertible - Replacing Front Driver Side Window?

    Does anyone have a write up on how to change the window glass on the driver side of a 1998 Mustang GT Convertible. I heard that the door panel is tricky to get off, so I'd rather have some instructions. Thanks!

    Bad MPG's With X-pipe????

    I get crappy gas mileage, too, with my exhaust and gears setup. I used to get 27.7mpg on the highway, but now only about 21mpg. My car runs really really rich, or at least it did when I got it dyno'd. I've been meaning to get a tune, but I'd much rather get my intake parts first. I've just...

    Any DM SpeedCal Experts? Center Console Stolen, Speedo Not Working

    My car was broken into about a week ago and they took the center console and all of the wires that go with it, including the cigarette lighter. Now, because of this, my Dallas Mustang SpeedCal no longer works. The red wire is dangling above the inner shift boot and has nothing to connect to...
