    i have a chance to trade my 93 mustang for a classic

    Id go with the stang or the dart. Would be neat to see pics though. Falcons are cool in their own right but seem like a old mans car or woman's cruiser.

    89 Mustang eats clutch cables

    How long do they last? I had to put one in mine about 6 years ago. When I noticed the new one was rubbing inside the wrap I took it back off at the pedal then pulled it out of the fire wall to hold it up and slowly pour some oil in (about 2 oz). That worked very well and had lasted about 5...

    Finally done with my take swap and it won't start

    Bringing this back from the dead. I have since moved and my beloved garage is now a dirt floor carport. I did get the car to run back then but it was backfiring and was just out of tune with a couple vac leaks and stuff. So I finally got the time to start adjusting everything. Got my mass air...

    BEFORE you butcher a 4 eye... (56k beware)

    I loved my 4 eyed 86gt. Then I gave it to my dad and he did the 93 swap front and back. Its just boring now. looks good dont get me wrong but I liked it a lot better before. Best thing was no one I ever knew had one this nice. If I would have choose to change it though it would have been 93 gt...

    Small towns suck

    If it was me I would have been using my 1/4" impact for speed and then using a torque wrench for accuracy. Trans pans leak a lot as it is. No need in helping them.

    Small towns suck

    I dropped my car off at the shop just to get the toe adjusted cause I put a new rack on it. Its not off that bad and I know how to adjust it myself so I am going to get it tomorrow done or not. 4 days is just bs. The way I have done it in the past is to just put screws in the tread and use a...

    Need a new rack and pinion

    Funny you say to replace the lines. I noticed mine where rusting and wanted new ones. I called the auto stores and no one had any so I slapped it together. I didn't even change the o-rings and yes so far Im lucky. Ill know better once the lines start leaking. :flag:
