    MM fl subframe connectors installed today

    Yea I had subframes welded in, The guy Raf, at "Elm City Customs" in New Haven CT, did it for 200 bucks. but the really awesome thing is that they painted them with this rust proofing stuff so it would match the rest of the bottom of the car. I didn't ask them to do it or anything, they just...

    Suspension... Am I on the Right track here?

    I just had everything done at the shop. The subframe connectors to be welded in cost about $150. then you should pay for an alignment which could be up to another $50 to $90 installing the shocks/struts/springs would cost about 75 to 100 each. when you factor in the shops hourly rate + tax.

    Suspension... Am I on the Right track here?

    i just got the MM starter package (bilsteins, CC plates, and H&R springs) and full length subframes. The car is awesome, sits really low, launches hard and you can really tell the car is not twisting if trying to turn as you floor it. then on hard braking, the nose does not dive anywhere...

    Exhaust question with Panhard Bar

    but this doesn't answer the question, what is different about 3rd party catback plumbing that may require exhaust work to be done before installing the panhard bar?

    Exhaust question with Panhard Bar

    I am debating buying the MM Panhard Bar to install on my Stang. The instructions say it will not install without modification to the exhaust, if you do not have a stock setup. I have a Magnaflow catback, it routed the same way as the stock exhaust plumbing. the only thing that is...

    I need a new car cover - please recommend

    Well, I was procrastinating long enough and my car cover is just full of holes, dirty and essentially does not work any more. the problem with my current car cover (custom shaped to fit the Stang) is that over time the wind just ripped it apart. the chain that links on the bottom of the...

    New stang and I can't drive it...

    I have a ratchet shifter in my car, and people who know how to drive automatics and stick shifts can never figure out how to get my car in gear! Its especially funny watching tech figuring out how to drive my car to get emission testing done.

    Installing exhaust

    If you are installing a cat back, its a matter of disconnecting the existing pipes. (4 bolts, 2 on each pipe) then bolt back the new pipes. The Exhaust tips screw on with a hex key most likely so you can get them to line up perfectly on the back of the car. just back your car up on tall...

    anyone have sequential tail lights?

    I got the kit from webelectricproducts.com. I opted for the complete plug and play harness. Even though I am perfectly comfortable doing a splice job. I just like having the ability to return it to 100% stock. hehe, If I lazily list to the left, you can bet your bottom dollar those...

    anyone have sequential tail lights?

    I finally did it and bought a kit. Installation was a snap! This is just another one of those mods, I wish I bought 10 years ago when I bought the car.

    Lighting Idea (need Opinions)

    I think each letter should have its own light, then you can have them be random colors. and sequentially blink when you go left or right. OR,, fill them up with TONS AND TONS of LED's and have kind of a Las Vegas style color animated loop of horses running from left to right.

    B&M Hammer Shifter?

    I think 1 problem you will run into is the length of the transmission cable. while the cable does work with the hammer shifter on 01 to 04 mustangs its literally 1mm too short. It annoyed me enough to make a custom extension piece. You may have to jostle this shifter a littler bit to get...

    I bought some suspensions stuff - I want more - what next!?

    Well its a weekend warrior, and like I said its an affordable option because you dont have to spend thousands up front. The only thing I can see, that I dont really want is the torque arm, specifically because it will hit everything as I drive. After some more research, I think what I want...

    I bought some suspensions stuff - I want more - what next!?

    I recently got into the idea of doing suspension work to my car because there is TONS of suspension parts I can buy and put in my car, and every year I can spend just a few hundred dollars to have some summer projects without breaking the bank. This year I did the MM F/L subframes, and in...

    I need new headliner - Should I stick with stock or go suede?

    Actually I was just gonna get new fabric headliner, the actual material is cheaper than suede by like 10 bucks. Labor would be the same price. I would have no problem doing it myself, except the idea of spraying glue and my arts and crafts skills, I would end up getting glue all over the car.
