    New Suspension Piece For My 86

    Yesterday I picked this up. I will be putting it in this spring and putting all of the documentation of what we did to install it with pics on a website I am making, and every tool needed to do it so that people will know what to expect when they install one. I got the whole rear, Bilstein...

    Best Shocks for the money?

    Bilsteins are one of the best non adj shocks out there. I have KYB's and they sucked, but them, I road race. But for the street doing regular stuff, KYB's are a good cheap alternative over stock.

    question about thumper heads, wrong info maybe

    I dynoed my car before the thumpers heads and a TMOSS ported lower at 170hp and 240 foot pounds. After the head and lower intake swap I went to 215hp and 280 foot pounds. My compression is only at half of what it’s supposed to be, so that’s why the HP numbers are low. If I was to do it over...

    Can you use the 1998 mustang spindle's on a fox

    You can use 94-95 or 96-98 Spindles. I think the 96-98 push it out 8mm or so.

    Smog and A/C removal experts here please.

    I did a search and found nothing. I have owned my car since 1998 and the AC has never worked. Every year I tell myself I am going to fix it, but I never do. I only drive my car maybe once a month so I guess it’s come time for me to decide what to do. I also run an off road h pipe and have no...

    lucas oil stabilizer in t5??

    Do not ever use any Lucas products. They flat out suck. Why do we all think they are so good? Because they advertise alot. Luscas oil treatments cause the oil in the crakcase to foam. Do a google on it. Want good stuff? Use Mobil 1 Synthetic. If it's good enough to put into Ferrari's and...

    How much should a used IRS cost?

    Hi. I have an 86 Mustang that I put a panhard bar into. A guy I know is selling his IRS out of his Cobra for 700.00 that he says is in perfect shape. I do know that his car goes mid 10's. SO I am wondering if this is a good price and what tends to break on them, and what I should look for...

    5 Lug Conversion: Questions for the experts.

    I don’t know if the SN95 will make the pedal stiffer. My stock booster and 85 TC MC has a really stiff pedal. Almost too stiff and is nearly impossible to lock the tires up when I stomp on the brakes. I am curious if I should get the regular SN95 Booster or SN95 Cobra Booster since I have...

    5 Lug Conversion: Questions for the experts.

    I have done a 5 lug conversion using SN95 brakes. I currently run 99+ Dual Pot calipers, and I am getting very soon, the 10th anniversary Cobra front brake kit. It is the red cobra calipers, 13” Brembo Rotors, brackets and lines. I got it all for 341.00. If anyone wants the hookup on this...

    Mass air Conversion........on my 88 LX

    Don't spend 600. What a rip off. Just do it like the article says to a T. I did, and it went fine. Just solder in those wires to the computer harness, and under the driver seat and kick panel, and you'll be fine. Sure it takes longs but you'll save so much more. I paid 200 for my whole...

    Help with 5-lug conversion

    I did this conversion on my 86. Just keep the stock booster and swith the master to an 85 lincoln towncar. Buy a adjustable proportioning valve, and gut the stock one, and you'll be styling. I use this setup and I stop fine. The pedal is not too stiff and stops on a dime. I use 99 Calipers...

    witch dumps are the loudest or sound best

    I have short tube headers, an offroad h pipe and 3 chamber flows on my 86. I bought a panhard bar from Griggs and had to chop my tails off, which I did not want to do. So I havd to dump my 3 chamber flows, and it sounds better than when I had tails. But I only put on maybe 1000 miles a year...

    Rearend Help Needed

    I am looking for rear end advice. I have a 8.8 and the trac lock is shot. I autocross my car, and get no traction at all, even with the panhard bar I just put in. I was thinking of rebuilding it by getting new clutches. My dad told me to check out the different packages out there like Eaton...

    Question about stock Tach

    I just put mine on the steering column. I use the light for autocrossing. It's not too obtrusive and has the tach in the middle. So far my stock tach is accurate as you can see. Here's a pic of the light going off.

    5 Bolt swap. Spindles etc.

    If you want to upgrade to 13 inchers in front, 94-04 stuff is a direct bolt in. just take off your rotors and calipers and bolt up the cobra stuff. No need for spindles.

    sn95 axles/wheels/brakes

    I have 245/45/17 all of the way around and I get no rub in the back and I do get rub at full lock in the front, so I took out my inner fender wells. It's not bad anymore, but if I were to do it again, I'd go 235 in the front.

    don't bother replacing it. Just pull it out and soak it in gas or paint thinner and all of the gunk will come off.

    Make sure that if you do buy poloyurethane bushings to not use poly in the diff houseing. Put them in the lower control arms and only one in the uppers. Be careful when you put them in too. Your car will react differently. I drove my car on the track after I did mine and with rubber...
