    You guys ever heard of this ..??

    http://gumball144.com/CMS/?page_id=8 This is a list of the equipment Team Polizei uses in the Bull Run and Gumball rallys. I happened upon this by accident. I was driving down the NJ turnpike a couple days ago and I had 4 cars pass by me, stickered up and going fast. Turns out it...

    Special Edition Bullitt Mustang Brake Upgrade??

    Only difference is that Mach 1 and 03-04 Cobra calipers have 40mm pistons, and are physically slightly larger. The pre 03 calipers are 38mm and slimmer.

    Mach 1 Painted Valve Covers and Removal

    I am trying to figure out if I should paint the timing cover. I was thinking ford blue to look like the old mach 1 engines. Then again it might look out of place. I need to do something with that optima battery also.

    Mach 1 Painted Valve Covers and Removal

    I painted the bare aluminum valve covers on my Mach 1. It was annoying with everything looking new and clean, then you see those ugly things messing up the look. I took about a week to get to this point putting in a few hours after work everyday. Learn how I got them out at the bottom...

    Un-intelligent Wal Mart employees

    When I need tires mounted the rims go in the bed of the lightning to get dropped off at a shop if I have to. Otherwise they goto the ford dealer and my friend mounts them. I hate rim scratches. :mad:

    WTF Pypes o/r x-pipe

    I went to the englishtown swap meet last year, pypes had a spot with a large display area. The whole material line was on display, aluminized, 409, 304, brushed, polished. They make a quality product, it has to be an ordering or advertising problem, Pypes is quality from what I have seen.

    Brake Upgrade Package MM?

    I used the kit on my GT, it was alot better then the stock worn out brakes I had. I thought it was a great improvement. However now if I drive the Mach 1 and then hop in the GT it seems like it won't stop for crap.

    Sometimes, Big bore and small stroke>* ~Vid~

    My god, I couldn't finish any of those videos. They were annoying to the max. I respect and appreciate the performance of such motors but damn they get on my nerves. I do prefer a lower pitch from an engine. However, the low pitch fart from inline 4 cylinders is irritating. I'm not all...

    mac's versus magnaflows

    I originally bought a magnaflow system for my GT since it was stainless steel and cheap $300. It sounded good with a mac prochamber but after I added a magnaflow catted x pipe it lost all tone and my stock mach 1 is louder. The magnaflow catback clamps onto the mufflers both inlet and outlet...

    Wiper Motors?

    I took mine apart, sprayed the aluminum silver then had the other parts bead blasted and powdercoated mirror black. I haven't gotten around to fixing the overspray from when I bought it a couple years ago. Maybe this spring . . .

    Dynamat

    The dynamat will help the vibration, then you need to insulate with something like dynaliner. Using both together should cut down on outside noise. My friend used 4 dynamat extreme bulk packs on his 88 thunderbird. Stripped out the interior and and covered everything. Knocking on the roof...

    Thinking about a Mach 1....

    I was used to the low end torque of the 5 liter, after driving several PI GT's I was sure I'd never get one myself. However the mach 1 was perfect, has lots of low end pull, and plenty on top. Have fun with it.

    Mach 1 new Mach owner and needing maintenance guidelines..

    I tried meguiars but its like using armour all on your seats. I use lexol cleaner then lexol conditioner. From what I can tell only the front surfaces of the front seats are leather, the head rests, back seats and everything else is vinyl. I meguairs vinyl dressing is pretty good, but I went...

    Mach 1 new Mach owner and needing maintenance guidelines..

    1. I wash the scoop, stripes, and wing with the wash mitt along with the rest of the car. I use s100 engine brightener (found in motorcycle shops) to keep the scoop nice and dark. I use klasse all in one (can be found at www.autogeek.net ) on the stripes and wing, it cleans off any water spots...

    6 speed

    MM&FF did the swap in one of their project cars, Jan 07 issue I think. The D&D crossmember mounts in the stock location, but it has more of a \____/ shape to accomodate the longer T-56 with the farther rearward mounting points. No modifications needed, can still swap back to a T-5 if needed.

    why are open headers bad for our cars

    If the primaries are too short the valves can cool too quickly, and warp. I don't know of anyone having problems with open longtubes, but open manifolds wouldn't be good.
