    Paint and Body Bumper Question

    Welcome to StangNet! I've purchased a couple of EBay front bumpers and you get a decent bumper with a decent fit, but it's not OEM fit. Of course the price difference is huge, so the choice is yours. One of them I bought was pre-painted, and the color and finish were spot on, but the paint...

    I Love The Stance, But I Can't Get No Satis - Traction.

    Hey thanks for this post; this is some of the type of info and suggestions that I am looking for. I really don't take my car to any type of track, but on the streets, admittedly I do enjoy 'spirited' driving. I have to be very careful when accelerating quickly because it'll easily spin the...

    I Love The Stance, But I Can't Get No Satis - Traction.

    Matt, as I indicated in my post, I already have MM full length subs (the OEM subs were removed). However I did forget to mention I also have UPR upper and lower rear control arms. Softer rubber? You did see that I'm running Nitto NT-05 tires, right? Sure, there are softer tires out there...

    I Love The Stance, But I Can't Get No Satis - Traction.

    Hey everyone, I own a 2004 Mach 1, and while spinning my Nitto NT-05 315/35 tires at will is certainly fun, I have been recently remembering a friends 280ZX Turbo back in the day...the thing that sticks out in my memory is the way it would squat so deeply under hard acceleration I often thought...

    Power Adder Opinions

    I don't think I'd consider throwing tons of loot at your car to gain little bits of HP & torque my kind of fun, but to each their own. Plus you have to understand that you'll never get 'there' with bolt ons...never, never, never, ever... If you pamper your car now, how willing are you going...

    Redlinegoods Shift Boots And Such

    I ordered my shift boot just before Christmas, and expect it to arrive in the next day or two. Can't wait. I went with faux alcantara - black, with red stitching. (I wanted the real deal alcantara, but that doubles the price. $50 for a shift boot is enough IMO.) I ordered it 1.5" shorter...

    Decisions, decisions - which 427 would you use?

    Agreed Mike, and thanks for the quick video - truly sick - who needs a Hemi when you have a Cammer?

    Decisions, decisions - which 427 would you use?

    I can only WISH I had this issue - having to choose between a 427 SOHC (the original SOHC motor) and a 427 FE - Shelby motor. Tough choice. I received both for Christmas - wish they were the real deal, but these are terrific models, very well detailed.

    FRPP Warranty?

    Yeah Josh it was you who had recommended Real Speed. They did my gears as well. BTW, they've moved to a much larger building, a stone's throw from the old shop. Driving south on Hercules you'll want to go past the old entrance, then turn on Sherwood, drive all the way to the end and then turn...

    help to find the right paint

    True candy paint is a technique using a transparent paint over a base, usually silver or gold, but there aren't any rules. It's not easily applied - with a transparent paint you layer it until you have the shade you want and getting the multiple coats down evenly can be very tricky...it'll...

    FRPP Warranty?

    True, true - I hear ya...but I have the part in hand, getting ready to ship it back to Brother's. It appears to be fine and turns freely, doesn't appear to be damaged...but spinning in my hand and spinning at 1k+ RPMs will surely yield different results. At the end of the day I've come to...

    FRPP Warranty?

    UPDATE: Just got off the phone with Brother's Performance customer service - I explained the situation and they've issued me an RGA (Return Goods Authorization). Hats off to BROTHER'S PERFORMANCE for standing behind what they sell. :cheers:

    FRPP Warranty?

    Yeah I have a hard time trusting any auto service shop - they always try to 'up-sell', which makes me believe they'll also tell you that you need something that you don't actually need.

    FRPP Warranty?

    A brand new, defective out of the box part? I think that's pretty :poo:ty customer service - you should at least count on the part working initially. @ Burning Rubber - The shop wasn't trying to take me for a ride - heck, they didn't even charge me for the new TOB and cut the cost of the RNR...

    FRPP Warranty?

    So i bought, among other parts, an FRPP TOB. Mustang shop put it in (along with a Mcleod Super Street Pro Clutch - I didn't know I needed it until they pulled the transmission and inspected it. I KNEW I needed a TOB, and THOUGHT FRPP would be an excellent one) and it immediately squeals. They...

    Water Pump Shaft Cover Split?

    I kinda wondered, since it is just plastic...it's like a cap of sorts. OK, thanks for the info. Chris

    Water Pump Shaft Cover Split?

    I just ordered a MM Clutch cable (getting hard to find, but I've got one coming), a FRPP Throwout Bearing, and a FRPP Pilot Bearing. I'm going to take it to the shop next week to get these installed and will address the water pump if needed.

    Water Pump Shaft Cover Split?

    Here is a pic of a water pump - the black plastic cover on mine is split right down the middle, but otherwise is intact. Is this an issue I need to repair...immediately? Thanks! Chris
