    Need a little help..Found a 88 5.0 coupe

    Offer him $1200 and if he says he can't take that little just tell him that's what you thought it was worth. Then ask him how much he'll take. He'll probably come back with "Well I need $XXXX" or "I need at least $XXXX" then just go from there. Put a price in your mind that you are willing...

    another why so much ebay auction...dash emblem

    I took a glove box light assembly, stuck it in an envelop, put two stamps on it and mailed it from GA to NY. Seventy-four whole cents and it was bigger than that emblem.

    Glove Box Light Assembly

    I have a spare dash in my shed that I believe still has the light assembly. If you want it pay for shipping and it's yours.

    My 8 trumpet Manifold Project.

    That is incredible work and imagination. I'd be curious to see what type of gains you would see from your creation. It's a right hand drive so I'm assuming he is on the other side of the pond somewhere.

    13'' cobra brakes up front

    You may need new soft lines if those have the original 94+ lines on them. They will bolt up just fine and you can either change the ball joint or do the spacer trick. If you run the Ranger drums in the rear you don't have to put in a new booster.

    Anyone have any problems with Mr. Baskin (DCC Controller)

    All I'm saying is people have other aspects of their lives that they can not control. Several things could have happened for him not to return calls or answer e-mail. What if he went out of town to handle a family members passing? Or God forbid what if he got in a car accident? Maybe he went on...

    Anyone have any problems with Mr. Baskin (DCC Controller)

    He told me his turn time was two weeks. Two weeks after the day I ordered it I got it, just like he said. There are two sides to every story but this Ebay seller, how can he promise to ship them out quicker when the supplier himself has a two week turn time? I think the Ebayer buys and keeps...

    Anyone ever cut a coil off of their springs?..Lowering springs.

    As much info as you post, a lot of which has helped me, I'm happy to help. I have some pics now but it's an odd angle and doesn't show the stance very well. I'll get some better pics up in a few hours when I get home. Here's the best one I have for now that shows tire/fender clearance. These...

    Anyone ever cut a coil off of their springs?..Lowering springs.

    Sort of :) 3/4 of the dead coil in the back was cut down. I also cut the fronts naturally by 3/4 of a coil. This resulted in a perfect stance (for me anyways). The front measures 25 3/4'' from ground to fender arch. The rear measures 26 1/2'' ground to fender arch. I knew they woudn't...

    Anyone ever cut a coil off of their springs?..Lowering springs.

    I run Mach 1 springs front/rear that have been cut, they ride comparable to other cars I've had with true lowering springs. If you read about the FMS C springs it actually states some cutting may be required.

    how much do they take out of your pay for taxes?

    Why are you single guys claiming 0? You're giving your money away in an interest free loan for a year. You think Uncle Sam would give you an interest free loan? I claim 2 and got back a little less than $100 last year. That's close enough for me to break even. You can get a pretty good estimate...

    what are best subframes that summit offers?

    FWIW those Ford units sell for $100 on gefracing.com. Tell Summit to price check it and they will match Gene Evan's price. Didn't realize there were more than one FRPP set. Part number FMS-M-5478-J is the one I was refering to.

    Scuba anyone?

    That's not a bad deal at all, keep in mind though you still need snorkel, fins, mask, boots if you don't have them all ready. Those add another $150-$200. One thing I forgot to mention. Check with the cruiseline on the depths you will be allowed to dive. I doubt it would be more than 60ft...

    Scuba anyone?

    I'm certified and heading off to Cozumel at the end of the month to go diving, I love going. I don't have any advice on brand names since I'm not hardcore and only go a few times a year. I really feel though if the old saying "you get what you pay for" applies to anything it is this. I don't...

    Cooling Issue, Need Some Advice

    I agree with both posts above. Also a lot is mentioned about not having the air deflector being bad. I'm not sure how a GT reacts but my coupe hasn't had it on there for the past 6 months and it has no problem cooling itself once the car starts moving.

    Intermittent battery connection

    Same thing just happened to me the other day. It was the positive side connection on the battery. I cleaned mine and it still happened afterwards so I just bought a new positive side cable with battery connection.
