    Got new wheels.. PART 2!

    All you bullitt haters can take it elsewhere. Excuse the dirtiness of my car. It's usually very clean - to the point where some people say I've got a compulsion disorder. All day today was a torrential downpour and the sun popped out so I quickly snapped a ton of pics. I'll have better ones...

    how long are we going to be able to run gasoline

    What most people don't realize is the fact that oil is not an "unrenewable" resource. The truth is that oil is a byproduct of everyday reactions and processes that take place inside this earth everday. Oil isn't something that takes millions of years to develop, and decaying matter (the dinos)...

    What tool do I need?

    Where can I find the tool to pull through wheel studs? I saw the shop guy using a nut type thing that in conjunction with his air gun, it pulled the stud through.. What's that tool called and where can I get one - preferably rent..?

    Got new wheels..

    You're right. I should have been more like you and broke out of the shell. I'm gonna go trash these and buy some wheels that belong on a german or japanese car. And while I'm at it, I'm going to buy a Ford Oval badge that's red instead of blue to match my car! That's really being out of the...

    Tire mounting/balancing in central jersey?

    I need to find a nice shop that doesn't trash wheels or tires when mounting them. I also want a place that uses weights on the inside of the wheel as opposed to the outside. I live in Jackson (2 minutes from 6 flags).. Thanks

    Any tips for cleaning under the hood

    My engine bay wasn't touched for a good 75k miles - it was downright disgusting. Now people compliment me all the time on how new it looks underneath. First time I cleaned it all I did was wrap the fuse box and relays, airfilter, alternator, and coil packs in plastic bags. I ran water over...

    WOW CRASHED MY STANG!!!!!!!!!

    ONe time my rear end came out in the rain.. I was going like 5mph and when I started to slide I swear I think my car accelerated to about 85mph.. Driver's side rear wheel clipped a curb and went up onto the sidewalk. Damage: F'd wheel, bent axle, and shattered bearings.. :nonono: I'm sure...

    It is when you're in school and have to pay for everything yourself. I baught my car, pay for my OWN insurance, pay for everything that goes into it, buy my own clothes (it's why I look like a scrub most of the time :rlaugh: ), pay for my gas.. I pay for everything! I take all the available...

    Post your BURNOUT pics in here

    I burned out on painted asphalt once... ONCE. Damn heat melted the paint and sprayed it all over the rear quarters of my car! That stuff was hard to clean up too! I'll be getting new wheels/tires soon so I should make a nice show as well.

    SN95's with 03 cobra wheels (pics needed!)

    Great pics guys.. Still would like to see a laser red with brushed 03's.. And about the rotating - I don't do burnouts or donuts, and I won't be going to the track with these wheels/tires, so I won't need to replace the rears as often as some.. I'll live with it. 04DarkShadowGT - No more pics...

    SN95's with 03 cobra wheels (pics needed!)

    So I think I'll be getting some 03 cobra wheels (17x9's with 275's and 17x10.5's with 315's) for my laser red 96. But first I want to see some pics of SN95's with 03 wheels to really reassure myself that this is what I want to do. $1k is a lot of money for an 18 year old. If you have any...

    This doesnt look good.. Oil where it shouldnt be on engine? PIX

    I have the same issue with my car, but its not as bad. The bolt grommets are worn out and seep a little. If I soak up the oil, it fills back up in about 2 days. But if I leave it for weeks, it won't ever fill too far to spill over :shrug: To replace those grommets, it requires removing the...

    So, no one's clear with me.. (emissions)

    If that's the case, I'll be pissed. I bought the car this way and said "Hell, if it fails the dealer will have to fix it.. otherwise I dont have to worry about it.." If the law changed, I'll be ticked. I'd also like to see the laws that apply to us. They should be easily available since we...

    Blew a fuse but I don't know where it is!

    Yea, found the fuse.. And yes I do have a glovebox light, as well as a seatbelt chime and seatbelt light in the dummy cluster. I just recently found out this is not normal for a 96gt..?

    Blew a fuse but I don't know where it is!

    While checking the wires going to my headunit, the antenna wire touched the heatsink on the HU and a fuse seems to have blown out. The glove box light went out, the dome light went out,the headunit isn't getting power, and the BINGER noise thing doesn't happen when the key is in the ignition...

    So, no one's clear with me.. (emissions)

    They passed my sequentials:shrug: There's no law dictating at what rate the rear lights can blink.. So, donno how they failed you for that..
