    I opened my motor. Does this look ok?

    Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but does this look ok? motor has about 3500 since a rebuild. pistons were supposed to be new. I have been having an oil consumption issue (through the PCV), so I beleive that is why it is so black. I don't really see a crosshatch on the...

    Which will have better street manners: E303 or F303 cam? Something else?

    hmm....i was always under the impression that the e cam was a decent forced induction cam. i didn't mention that I still have the stock cam in a box in my basement. While it would make it definitely mild mannered, and form what I have read, a great turbo setup, will I be throwing away most...

    Which will have better street manners: E303 or F303 cam? Something else?

    Which will have better street manners: E303 or F303 cam? Something else?

    Please don't turn this into an off-the-shelf vs custom debate or a rant about how alphabet cams suck. I have a few options: back to stock cam E303 F303 or another cam for <$200 that acheives the goals outlined below I plan to turbo at some point, and i may go custom at that point, but...

    5sp Burnout at the Track Tips!

    You mean start in 4th gear? Start buying clutches... If you mean row through and get to 4th, yea, no problem at all. I regret it to this day due to the rubber that got on everything and the damaged trim from the blowout, but I banged through all 5 gears with less power than that. I do...

    Fiberglass enclosure in 05 Gt coupe

    there isn't a 10" woofer out there that will displace .5 cubic feet. a VERY large 12 barely breaks .1 cubic feet. definitely check with the manufacturer's specs, but around .05 is very safe.

    Anyone with a Satellite radio in their Fox?

    i don't have XM in the stang, but it is in my focus. In my '01 F150, I put the antenna under the plastic wiper cowl cover and reception was great. Out of curiosity, and not wanting to display to the world that I had it in the focus, I installed the antenna in the car under the cover that hides...

    spec stage 2 clutch

    +.5 I like mine, but it is a little heavy. If you don't need all of the power capacity, I would go down to something a little lighter, especially in a street car. For just cruising around, the heavy pedal is ok, but if you get stuck in traffic, you'll regret it.

    Help installing Alpine stereo guys!

    ok, here are the pics. it is really a very basic way to install a radio. The key to the whole thing working without adhesive or screws is to cut the ABS to a VERY snug fit. mine is cut to the point of almost not fitting in. without pulling it, my guess is that I used 1/8" thick abs...

    Help installing Alpine stereo guys!

    while I haven't tried sticking in a double din radio yet, the only problem that I forsee would be depth. the radio could potentially run into issues with the transmission tunnel, but the opening itself is large enough. i just snapped a few pics and will have them up in a minute.

    What color are the bullit wheels that come in the pony package

    possibly, but you'll lose your ass on shipping. may be worth getting them all painted fresh to make sure the color match is perfect.

    Painting aluminum radiator?

    technically, paint will decrease heat transfer, so if your car has any problems with cooling a the moment, it's time for a new radiator. if not, I would guess that a light coat of pretty much any paint should work fine.

    Simple Green & DPD vs Dirty Wheels - Product Review

    glad it worked out for you but I would never let that dawn cleaner or a brush with bristles like that on any wheel I own. you'll end out with no clear on the wheels and little scratches everywhere. use a non acidic, very mild cleaner and just take the time to scrub if needed. always rinse...

    Is this clutch wear ok? is this a Spec 2?

    mine looks like the picture you linked of the stage 2, but with less contact area...must be an older design. Thanks!

    Help installing Alpine stereo guys!

    if you haven't mounted it up yet, I suggest actually not using the mounting kit you got if you can get your hands on a 1/4" piece of abs and have the ability to cut it. if you take out the factory radio, you'll have a large opening with a lip around the edge. if you cut a piece of abs the...

    Is this clutch wear ok? is this a Spec 2?

    i don't really suspect a problem, I just don't have any experience with this and wanted to make sure its not a problem that needs to be corrected before putting the motor back in. i'm very glad to hear it isn't an issue. also, how can I confirm that this is actually a Spec stage 2 and not...

    Roll bar and subframe connectors

    i believe I have only seen this tie-in with through-floor subframes. Most guys will place in a kicker section that will run from the main hoop mounting point over to the subframe at maybe a 45 degree or so angle. This gives a nice solid place for the hoop to mount, acheiving two things....in...
