    17 x 9 all the way around - 245/45 R17 up front and 275/40 R17 in the back - slight fender rubbing up front, and inside edge of the rim will catch the LCA at full lock. http://picasaweb.google.com/drhoward/10640614/photo#4980660190715314194

    woohooo!! Bought a new house

    What the hell do you think you are doing. You are taking perfectly good money and just blowing it on the house. Now that you have bought a house, you are going to have to spend money fixing it up and all of that good stuff. That is money that could be spent on your car! What were you thinking -...

    IS MY MECHANIC ROBBING ME?

    A rule of thumb on parts that you install, is you generally can get back about 30 to 40 cents back on every dollar you spent when you go to sell it. Labor is a complete loss obviously - you won't get any of that back. This is why everyone pretty much has to do it themseleves, otherwise you get...

    IS MY MECHANIC ROBBING ME?

    Looks like his markup on parts is about 25%, and his labor is $75/hr. He nickel and dimed you for every nut and bolt. But can't really fault him for that. How's that TF HCI looking right now - what is it - bout $2000 for heads, cam, intake, pushrods, rockers, all your gaskets and bolts, and...

    IS MY MECHANIC ROBBING ME?

    If you are getting work done on your car by a mechanic get a quote upfront before he lays a finger on the car. He should have been able to tell you how many hours it would take and what his hourly rate is. He will also probably mark up the prices of the parts, so comparing his prices on the...

    Whos interested in a Group Purchase for Cobra brakes?

    I am assuming this GP is dead, but if it isn't, and the price is right, I'm in for a set. Let me know the poop!

    Electric fan ?

    Mid '90s Taurus should be fine - make sure it is off a 3.8l taurus - not the 3.0 (I think). It will have 3 wires, - ground, high speed and low speed. I paid $15 for each for mine - I grabbed 2 so I had a back up! Howard.

    Turbo the fox or get a cobra?

    Have you done a test drive in the cobra? I was certain I was going to sell the fox and get a terminator. After test driving it, it didn't live up to expectations - no way was it worth a car loan and a doubling of insurance. FWIW, I have a 331 stroker in my fox, and all new suspension, recaro...

    just drove a terminator cobra, now i want one bad!!!!

    I looked at an 03/04 cobra and was pretty disappointed with it - maybe my expectations were too high. It was stock except for FIPK and Magnaflow catback. Not as comfortable as my fox (but then my fox has Recaro seats), didn't handle quite as well as the fox (but then my fox has Bilsteins all the...

    Anyone have any problems with Mr. Baskin (DCC Controller)

    Sorry if this is going to sound harsh, but I think you are out of line on this - poor planning on your part doesn't mean Brian needs to drop everything just for you. The guy on ebay is being pretty straight up about what's going on. For small businesses like Brian's, if he runs into problems...

    Custom HCI with more power than a TFS kit for the same $?

    The short answer is that I don't think there is one. The nice thing about the kit, is pretty much everything is in it. If you go with a custom set up, it will be the other bits and pieces that will kill the budget - after you have bought your heads, cam and intake, you will need all the gaskets...

    shipping seats, need advice

    I have shipped seats before - best way is to take the backs off, then put them in a box, one seat per box, with the seat and back lying flat against each other. Bubble wrap them, and put extra cardboard around any pointy bits. Then take them down to the local greyhound station and ship them that...

    Thinking of selling

    I was thinking of getting rid of my 90 GT. I was getting fed up working on it rather than driving it - its has a 331, ported TW heads, Jay Allen cam, full suspension etc. It chewed through 2 thrust bearings and I was getting ready to chuck it. Well, finally got it running well enough so I could...

    FMS B springs.

    I'm happy with my B springs - here's a before and after shot - also did Bilsteins all around, and MM LCAs and Steeda UCAs at the same time. It has a slight rake to it, but pretty mild. The drop wasn't that much - I wasn't going for the slammed look, and didn't want to have to get CC plates - the...
