    after market vent covers

    Did anyone see an article in "auto enthusiast" (the old mustang enthusiast) about a company making metal vent covers? I can't find my copy of the magazine. I have always hated the cheap plastic vent covers and thought these would be great. If anyone knows of another source, let me know. I am...

    I hate to ask this question about splitters.....

    Hi, thanks for your input. We are still looking for the auto cross car. We have come across a couple of projects, one that looked really sweet, but we couldn't find a garage that would let us keep it long enough to install the engine. I am going to check out a car this week. I am finding...

    I hate to ask this question about splitters.....

    But as I am looking at what I want to do with my car over the long winter sleep, I am going to put a splitter on at last. Now I am reading that they are not really good for anything. I thought they helped the car handle and helped with gas mileage due to a smooth air flow. I am looking at...

    did any of you install your roushcharger yourself?

    I had just about settled on the e-force and was looking forward to installing it myself. Now after an e-mail from JDM I am considering the roush tvs. Is this a bear to install for the home mechanic? I have not looked yet for a shop on the east coast for an install, but there have to be a few...

    edelbrock vs kenne bell

    I was told by kb that I couldn't put the mammoth on my mustang. This was my first thought. Everyone I have talked to said that most people get a new blower with more power...later on. I am trying not to make a 6k mistake. I am putting the car away as soon as the snow flies, so I have time to...

    edelbrock vs kenne bell

    Hi all, I have just started to take a closer look at the edelbrock. It seems like a great system. JDM is getting some good numbers and it seems that I can get the power I need and let it grow with my car later? If I could put a mammoth kb on my car, I would go with that, but I can't with...

    Ford guys: where can I get a new "built with Pride" sticker?

    Hi all, when my 06 came, the "built with pride" sticker was hanging off. At the time, I thought it was funny. The other day I saw an 06 with the sticker still on it, and in the same spot mine was, just stuck all the way on. Is there any way I can get one, or can someone point me to where...

    what good is the hood heat blanket

    Wow, good to hear all of your thoughts. I guess I am thinking about all the cars I've had over the years, without heat blankets. I also had a carb fire in one, you knew that there had been a fire, but it still passed the 20 foot test. I'm not going to pull mine off, but I am sick of all the...

    what good is the hood heat blanket

    Mine keeps allowing mice a nice place to rest...I got to thinking: If we want cooler air to our cars, why do "they" insulate the hood? I keep wanting to pull my off, but I know it will screw it up when my son or daughter shows the car in 2060..... Doc

    how to raise the passenger seat

    Thanks for all your help guys. Oh, to the guy from Dubuque, my wife is from Davenport. I e-mailed jegs, and they do not have a part that will fit our seats. My wife would not go for the expensive seat mod, she would want me to spend it on something else. I was worried about the "self" mods...

    how to raise the passenger seat

    Hi All, In my quest to have my vertically challenged wife enjoy cruising in my 06 gt, I still want to raise the seat higher. Jegs has a rail to raise the seat, but it is not specific to our cars. Has anyone had this issue and if so, how did you solve it? If she could see out of the car...

    help me choose: Roush tvs vs Kenne bell stage 2

    I have been told by kb that I can't put a mammoth on my stock engine. I would go this route it they said I could. I thought I could just keep the boost low and buy the mammoth kit, then when I was "bored" with it, I'd build the engine and go from there. My time frame for this car is long, I...

    help me choose: Roush tvs vs Kenne bell stage 2

    I am almost never going to be able to land on this, too many choices. Why roush tvs over the kenne bell stage 2? I want a blower that will allow me to grow later if I change the engine. Which of these two are the better choice? I am sick of waiting to make the buy, but I keep reading how...
