    The Death Trap

    Lately, the rear suspension on my 94 GT aode convert has been a little hairy. Its pretty much all over the place. The car has 141k on the odometer and I'm pretty sure the struts/shocks are original. Yesterday, however, was paricularly scary. The back end gets "caught" on small potholes and...

    Is this a stupid suspension idea?

    Please someone tell me if this combo would work: Aftermarket lower control arms, double adjustable upper control arms with heim joints and a panhard bar. Would there be a binding problem. The $1,000 tag for the steeda 5 link 2 system seems pricey for basically different uppers and a panhard bar...

    Car rattles under heavy acceleration

    I have a 94 GT aode convert with a problem. Sometimes when i jam the throttle, the car makes a sort of rattlesnake sound. It doesnt do it while i'm parked. It doesnt really sound like detonation. Its more like a rattle. Has anyone had this problem? I thought it might be the balancer, but it...

    3.73 or 4.10.....that is the question.

    I have a 94 GT convert aode. I'm not sure what gear to go with. what rpm's am i looking at going 65mph with the 4.10's I rarely go highway so I'm leaning towards 4.10 for the biggest bang for the buck. Anyone have a favorite? :bang:

    bottom end strength of a 302

    I want around 300-350 hp by changing out the heads/cam/intake and adding a supercharger along with the other little things required. Does anyone here think the stock bottom end with 141k on the ticker handle this without tearing itself apart? :hail2:

    Suspension

    I'm restoring a 94 GT convert aode and I'm gonna allot $2,000 towards the suspension. I'm not gonna drag the car. I just want a controllable street car. I was thinking of the 5 link 2 steeda kit for the back and new shocks/springs and x2 balljoints and c/c plates. Do you need to buy lower...

    MAF sensor and spout connector

    Holy crap. I didn't realize what a big deal cleaning these were!! I have a 94 GT convert AODE and after i used half a can of contact cleaner and several q-tips, the car has a ton of nuts. Before it was a slug, now it spins them like it used to. Does anyone know any other tricks like this to tune...

    The 10k plan

    :D Heres the deal.... I just got a 94 Mustang GT AODE from pops. Wear wise, its not too bad. It has 140k on the ticker but the wear is minimal. I'm gonna dump 10k into it. What's a good tranny for around 2k and whats the best bang for the buck when it comes to suspension and engine. If anybody...

    Suspension and Brakes

    Here's the deal. I recently inhereted a 94 Mustang GT convertible AODE from my father. He never abused it, however, he never maintained it either. I managed to clean up most of the interior and exterior. I also got it running pretty decent besides a few engine wear items. The main problem is the...

    Convertibles and Subs

    I wasnt gonna remove the panel, I was gonna cut square vents towards the sides of where the glass comes down. Then I was gonna reinforce the plastic panel so it won't rattle. Then put a box in the trunk and face it forwards a few inches away.

    oil filter

    thanks everyone. I ended up putting the XG8A fram extended guard filter. It fit with no probs. Cleaned out the air filter too. What a PAIN IN THE A-hole. Talk about a crummy design. I'll definetly get a cold air intake next time. Thanks again.
