    Snapped off screw while mounting shorty antenna

    maybe im not thinking about the same thing? the piece that bolts on to the fender only has 3 torx screws holding it on. if so, yeah, the problem is definitely with the nuts in the fender that are making the main problem. it pushes right back in nice and easy (atleast it did for me)

    Snapped off screw while mounting shorty antenna

    with a little bit of tugging and twisting the plug will come out of the bottom of the base, do that and save yourself the time to pull the dash apart. I was just working on a 2008 in the shop and for no reason i had a hell of a time getting 2 of the 3 the screws backed out... i dont know if...

    Autocross

    yeah there's tons of different setups... do you want the absolute best the car can run? or do you want to pick a class and make it the best in that class rules? i'm running mine in stock class, which pretty much only allows a cat back exhaust, good struts/shocks, and whatever tires will fit...

    Totaled?

    looks like a total to me... year? miles? how are the gaps on the back of the doors? that shows a good indication of how far the car is kinked... either way, i say its time to start checking the autoshopper. no matter what you did, getting treated like a trooper like that i'd write a letter to...

    Headers instead of 4:10's...

    nj doesn't allow them? I passed with my 95 with flying colors. i haven't heard anything about longtubes being illegal, but they don't do underhood checks anyway

    S197 vs previous year models?

    i sold my 95 for an 05... and the 05 is better in every way shape and form (with the exception of the sound).... my 95 had a bunch of work done, but my stock 2005 handles better, is 10000x more comfortable, and is quicker. some real hardcore racing guys say they like the older ones better...

    Clunk sound from rear?

    hey, yup i have it too.... i have the driveshaft clunk as well, i feel this bump noise could be the same.... otherwise possibly the poorly installed gears sounds like a good bet. definitely not the skirt....

    mustang gt vs. charger rt

    Yeah they're boats but they have alot of horsepower... if your friend gets a tune he can run 13.5's all day long (and that guy running 14.5's on the drag radials sounds like he's got a 6cyl) problem with the drag radials is... they usually blow out the axles within a dozen runs
