    Euro Side Markers

    rubbish, I think if you got something small and sleek, clear of course, it could be pulled off, I personally prefer the stock GT badge to anything. But its not a ricer mod. Stick with simple designs, nothing bigger then 1"x2" or so. go for it, you might start a new trend if you pull it off good.

    Something good on Ebay for a change...Must See!

    eh, doesn't really do it for me. Just cause his name is on it, its instantly worth way more then what it actually is worth.

    Plenty of termis have blown their motors with much less power as well.

    MGW vs Tri-ax

    I have the Tri-ax. I like the shifter. I like that I can use aftermarket handles with the tri-ax. I have the UPR rock crusher handle, it reaches way back for me. I'm tall so the seat is all the way back. The MGW won't reach like that. I can rest my arm on the center console and shift the car easy.

    Wide Band question

    I have been considering this for a while now... Here is my list Aeroforce Scangauge with Innovate Wideband controller around $440 but I can monitor a million other things as well. Hooks to the OB2 as well as the wideband with its analog input. AEM wideband setup around $215 or the PLX...

    IAT and supercharging

    You can see where I had to cut down on the plenum. Some work with a cutoff wheel and a file made quick work. This enables the sensor to reach the air stream. I left about 3/4" of material for the threads. Maybe a little bit more. Nothing exact. I bought the tap for about $8 from a local builder...

    IAT and supercharging

    Mine is installed where the EGR used to be. Its actually a 9/16" hole. Perfect for threading a 3/8 NPT hole for the threaded IAT. Its screwed right into the plenum. It reads ecactly what is going into the motor. I had to maching about 3/8" off the plenum to get the sensor deep enough. Its...

    Looking for no BS advice on modding my S281

    Just go big. I had a buddy with an 02 Saleen SC, pulled the junk 2v out, and put in a KB 4v in there and just enjoys the super power to go with the super sexy car. Who cars what the car sales for down the road. You own the wrong car if your into resale. Non of these late model cars will have the...

    bad times ahead

    More then anything, they need to file chapter 11, and more importantly restructure the union contracts. This is the biggest force against ford in being able to survive by cutting cost.

    V1 Radar Settings?

    I run in All bogey mode, you can change the sensitivity of the settings to tailor to your environment to have the power the false alarms. Like shutting down X band if thats not a threat in your area, and also, not showing K band until a certain strength radar is received. Most LEO radar is much...

    How much can a built 8.8 handle?

    I think you would need a fairly stiff chassis to handle 1000hp long term properly that the rear end it connected too. The body starts to tear apart at as little as 350whp on DR's and hard launches. This could be mitigated with lots of stiffing stuff and crazy roll cages which can add significant...

    So getting window tint... What about that pesky dot matrix?

    some guys have laid vinyl down on the dots, then tinted up to the vinyle. Works on the really dark tint. Looks flawless when done right. I have though about just blacking out my side windows with it. I like a darker interior.

    What would happen if there was no more Ford?

    Stock up on MAF's and stuff like that. Fuel pumps etc. Everything else can be fabbed up by hand.

    After 9 months of no Mustang... 56k beware

    I will never ever do it again. I know the car can do it. I know my nerves can do it. Pocket book can't do it. There was a nice slimy mixture of coolant and oil all over the underside. It took a few washes to get it all off. I am running new stock heads for now. Just not enough in the budget to...

    After 9 months of no Mustang... 56k beware

    It wasn't bad at all. It felt stable, I don't have a drag setup supension, so it handles all right up there. Straight and true. Won't ever do it again. I will say, it didn't take that long at all. Once the boost came on in 5th gear, it pulled really hard though 145-160, then boom. Worst of all...
