    what need to be done put bigger valves into stock e7s??

    Thumper's site has an interesting article regarding valve size... http://www.hunterstyle.com/thumper/valvesize.php Upgrading the stock heads looks pretty attractive if you don't have $1000+ to drop on aftermaket ones...

    Mac Dumps any good?

    I have the catback on my GT ('90) with an off road H... I second what you said except that mine doesn't sound like a mod motor. I think the catback is borderline too loud for a dd... I haven't heard the dumps but obviously they're going to be louder still.

    OEM Bullitt wheels on Lincoln rotors?

    Can anything be done so that factory Bullitt wheels will fit 5-lug Lincoln rotors? I know there are clearance issues with these wheels (and I think '99 Cobra wheels too?)... is it possible to use wheel spacers or machine the rotors so that they will bolt up? I can get a really good deal on...

    225/60/15 or 225/50/15

    My car came with 225/50R15's on it, and I think I'm going to stick with the shorter sidewall. I think seeing a little more of a gap looks better than seeing really tall sidewalls. A 60 series tire is just fugly IMO. Has anyone actually tried the g-force sports? Those are what I'm looking into...

    My baby is on her way out, is stop leak THAT bad?

    Replacing the water pump/gasket isn't a big deal... it probably takes a couple hours at the most. I'd at least replace the gasket, or you can get a cheapo water pump for like $25-30.

    Who makes the Best Ring and Pinion Gears?

    Also never heard anything bad about FMS. They hold up pretty well in OEM form after all.

    So I've had these ES front control arm bushings sitting here for a couple months and I want to finally get the job over with and get them installed... can someone tell me what's involved with replacing them, and what tools I'll need? First of all, is there even any chance of getting the...

    SN95 fan vs Taurs fan

    Hey charged, which island you from? There seems to be a lot of other Hawaii transplants around here for some reason... :D I was looking at those Maxima fans too. They look like they would work pretty well although I don't know how much air they flow.

    315/35 nitto's AND tailpipes...pics

    Just how much convincing with the BFH did the wheelwells require? Any pics of where you pounded them in? Definately one of my favorite cars on this site as well...

    Mechanical or Electrical Gauges?

    I thought that the fluids did not actually run through the lines to the gauges inside the car... Even so, I've never seen mech. gauges advertised for outside the car use only, and if they were really that dangerous, nowadays there'd be liability warnings plastered all over them. I've never...

    Camber bolts, worth using?

    Does anyone know about camber bolts & whether or not they're a decent solution to correcting too much negative camber? My car isn't lowered at all but has a TON of negative camber for some reason. It's obvious just glancing at the front tires. I was planning on getting MM c/c plates when I...

    How to cut a square hole for a beautiful Lentech lighted rocker switch?

    Dremel tool for the win. I can't believe I ever lived without mine... really comes in handy for doing stereo installs, cutting off bolts and sanding/grinding small areas.

    Let's get a discussion on what is a better means to show potential: Dyno or Track?

    the dyno is a more accurate way to compare an engine's potential, but doesn't take into account the car's weight, traction, aerodynamics, or the driver obviously. a well set up 400hp car with a good driver will likely waste a 500hp car with stock suspension, street tires, and a bad driver. the...

    Tire advice - brand and size (Tire size: 265/50 15's on 15" 10 holes?)

    A 265/50/15 would be pretty huge, and I don't tthink you'll find a 245/50/15. I did some pretty extensive searching for tires to fit my 15X7" turbines, and it seems the only options are the stock 225/60/15's, or 225/50/15's which have a shorter sidewall. If you want to road race the car you...

    Need to remove gunked up oil/road grime from underneath car (rear main seal) & tranny

    When it's that bad usually high pressure is the only thing that will get most of it off. Scrape off as much of it as possible, then go to a car wash... blast it with the hose, spray it down with engine cleaner or castrol super clean, let it sit a few minutes, and then hit it with the high...

    Automotive Welder Suggestions please

    Weird, I was just about to make the same thread! I just started learning to MIG weld Thursday, it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. I've been using Lincoln and Miller machines between 90-135 watts in the class I'm taking... all work well, but I'm just doing sheetmetal work at the...

    No kidding? I've never heard of such a feature on the 3000GT's... crazy.

    Granatelli Lowers worth the price?

    Yeah, but I don't think the car in question had an extreme amount of power, or slicks. If I recall correctly, it was an average street driven H/C/I car, and broke the Granatelli on DR's at the track. It was definately not a dedicated drag car. Personally it isn't worth the risk to me when there...

    No Blinkers :( Can anyone help?

    Sounds like you're out of blinker fluid... remember to check that stuff often. Higer mileage stangs are known to burn through it faster than usual. I reccomend running Mobil Synthetic for lower temps and less wear on your blinkers. ...sorry, couldn't resist. :D Seriously though, check the...
