    IS MY MECHANIC ROBBING ME?

    The mechanic probably had him wacked to save his reputation. Call me an A-hole if you want, but anyone who drops their car off at a shop and tells a mechanic to do whatever he wants either: a. has too much money or; b. has a screw loose.

    Flat Black Foxes?

    Awesome. Thanks guys. Now just imagine a flat-black hatchback with a Cobra R Hood, clear side marker lights, Cobra ground affects & spoiler and gloss-black pinstripe flames. It might take a while, but it's going to happen. :drool: I just need to find the right wheels.....and a couple...

    Better brake kit for a 92 GT?

    If he wants 13" rotors, he'll need at least 17 inch wheels. If he's on a budget, he can go with slotted 11" rotors, 73mm calipers (requires a larger master cylinder), braided steel brake hoses and hawk performance brake pads. If he buys everything new it will still cost around $600 (That's...

    losing my turbo coupe rear and going back to drum...a few questions...

    The rear-ends are the same size right? The only difference is the length of the axles. Just buy a couple of stock-length 5-lug axles and keep the discs.

    GT40 Swap now I can't get her started??!!

    Before you pull the distributor, check the firing order. Make sure you have all the plug wires connected in the right order.

    how critical is the mass air meter

    If you're using a MAF ECU, you should have a MAF sensor - so even if that's not your problem, you need to buy one. I assume your car already has the correct wiring harness for it, so it won't cost you too much. Get a MAF, see if it helps - if it doesn't, start looking at other potential...

    Run baby run!!!

    When you say everything else is new, how new do you mean? Did it just start doing this after you replaced something?

    5.0 engine???

    What I was trying to say is that there's a lot more to rebuilding an engine than the parts you mentioned. I wouldn't consider an H/C/I swap as a rebuild. Rebuild normally means main bearings, connecting rods, pistons/piston rings, boring the block, etc. etc. There are a lot of parts to buy...

    Making your own CAI for a fox mustang.

    The stock air box is already a pretty decent CAI once you get rid of the air silencer. The only problem with the stock setup is the ribs in the intake tube. I'm going to try to cut out the ribbed section and replace it with an aluminum tube - The problem is finding the right size tube and a...

    Parking brake adjustment

    Did you readjust the brake shoes after you installed them? There should be a hole on the back-side of the drum with a little leverage wheel inside - you have to use that to adjust the brake shoes so that they are as close to the drum-wall as possible without touching. Was it doing this...

    car wil not start please help

    Have you checked the voltage of the battery? Did you try to jump start it or push start it? Just because the battery's new doesn't mean it's not dead. Something could have drained it. Do you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the key to the run position?

    Removing the molding stripe?

    Has anyone ever tried/succeded in removing the stripe from the molding on the 80's foxes? Is it as easy as just peeling it off with a razor and cleaning it up, or would it require painting? It is just a vinyl sticker, right?

    94 rear axle assembly in an 88?

    I know the '94 rear ends are a little wider than the foxes', but they should still bolt up with no problems, right? Would the wider axle cause any suspension problems? Rear steer problems? Any problems with the driveshaft? I'm asking because I may be able to get a rear-end from a 94...
