    what brand batt do you like??

    I really liked the Optima red top I had before... I ran it down to nothing a couple times and it seemed to bounce right back without any issues. Costco has decent prices on them if you have a membership. Die Hards seem to last a long time as well, I've gotten at least 4 years out of two of them...

    How can I tighten up steering slop?

    Anyone have a writeup on replacing the rag joint? I'm sure it's not that hard other than just getting acess to everything. They're cheap, so it seems like something worth trying.... Poly rack bushings and going to a shorter tire tightened up a lot of my immediate steering response, but I still...

    Removing door hinge pins?

    So I'm trying to replace my hinge pins and bushings... starting with the lower hinge on the driver's side since it's worn the most. I cut the old pin in half with a dremel tool, and the top half of it came out pretty easy by just grabbing it with a vice-grips. However... the lower half of...

    Engine paint?

    Personally I would either go with a metallic color, like a dark silver, or black. Either will look clean, but with the silver any leaks will be easier to see. It'll also reflect a little more light which makes it a bit easier to see when you're working under the hood. Either way I like the idea...

    Rack and Pinion GURU's help school me!!

    Speaking of putting an SN95 rack into a Fox, I was checking out maximum motorsports' site the other day and noticed they're now selling steering shafts designed specifically for this swap. I don't know if other shafts besides theirs will work, or what else needs to be done to install the SN95...

    Could be either the header, mufflers or tailpipes. Hard to say.

    Cobra Insert...Can someone please tell me how this works?

    That looks great, definately worth having it blended in if you're painting the bumper at the same time... Has anyone tried oem matched spray paint in a can for a Cobra grille though? I'm wondering if it'd be close enough match.

    Which rear control arms?

    Anyone else have experience with UPR lowers? They're a decent price and I've been happy with their parts so far.

    OK, dumb question... how to load grease gun?

    Can someone tell me how to load a tube of grease into a regular lever-style grease gun? The one I bought didn't come with any instructions. When I opened it up everything popped out so I didn't see what order the pieces went in. There's two rubber "washers" with holes in the centers... where do...

    rack and pinion

    Hmm, sounds like the project I'm in the middle of right now. :rolleyes: I'd second the poly rack bushings ($10-15). If you're not installing CC plates, it'd be a good idea to inspect your strut bushings and maybe replace them with poly as well. When the rubber sofens up over time it allows the...

    Which Portland Alignment Shop?

    thanks for the advice, I'll have to call around early next week and see who can get it in... other people have told me good things about those 3 shops so I'm sure any of them will be fine... now if I can just get these damn rebuilt control arms back in the car... I knew keeping the stock...

    Restoring bare aluminum finish on wheels?

    Yeah I've used that aircraft coating remover before and it definately takes paint right off. :D Will it damage or discolor my tires though? I just had brand new BFG's installed so I don't want to mess them up.

    Restoring bare aluminum finish on wheels?

    Are the turbine rims clearcoated from the factory? If so how should I go about removing it? The inner areas of the wheel do not have the same white substance that the lips on all four wheels do. That's why I thought maybe it's some kind of oxidation... The aluminum wheels on my old Acura...

    Restoring bare aluminum finish on wheels?

    I'm going to re-paint my turbine wheels, but before I do that I want to clean up the lip area so I can leave it unfinished. There's something that looks like either mineral deposits or peeling clearcoar on some areas, and I can't figure out how to remove it. Scrubbing with a scotchbrite pad and...

    Mostly stock. Which blower: Powerdyne, Paxton, Vortech?

    That's the good thing about pretty much any UPR part.... Great thread so far, I have been considering the exact same blowers for my stock longblock... Couple things I've been wondering... how much power is a larger intake manifold (i.e. Cobra?) worth over a stock mani when running bone...

    How is the steering supposed to feel on a 5.0?

    I don't care much for fox mustangs' steering feel either. IMO it's very over-assisted and doesn't transmit any road feel. This seems to be the norm for most 80's/90's Fords, although the steering feel is definately better in the SN95's I've drove... I would definately be interested in any more...
