    need tire sizes explained

    275's all the way I run what I have in my sig and have had no problems. You'll have some people tell you that 275's on the stock 17x8 rim is to wide and some online dealers give min. rim width for a 275 as 9 inches. They look good on my 17x8's and I would recommend them. But that's only...

    Laying Rubber

    As far as I know I've got a stock rear and I can lay a nice pair. I'm not to familiar with the Mustangs and their options but a locking diff. could have been an option. I know it was on my Avalanche.

    6 quarts????

    99 GT: owners manual says 5, I changed it today and by golly their right. 5 quarts puts it at the top of the MAX on the old dipper. Speedy Lube kept telling me 6 and charging me for an extra Q@ $6 per. So I said thank you I'll do it myself.

    I almost took it off!

    The reason all the aftermarket shifters feel that way is because they are solid billet or steel. The stock shifters are two piece steel with a nice rubber shock absorber connecting them. That piece of rubber soaks up the clunkyness (if thats even a word) you feel shifting into all the gears...

    Lowest possible PSI when dragracing

    After spending some time at the track and playing around with tire pressure I have a question. What is the minimum tire pressure you can run on street tires, to get the widest contact patch, with out worry of spinning the tire off it's bead to the rim. I had my 275/40 17's down to 18psi...

    hankook ventus...

    Got'em on mine and for the price you can't beat them. As far as I know they hook up as good as any of the others at the track. Work well for me at the 1/4 mile.

    Question about Tire Size, HELP!?

    That's the same reason I went with a 275 on my 17x8's. I friend of mine bought a set of chrome cobra rims (17x9) and put the stock rubber (245) right back on them. I week later the rims had curb marks. Now I know what someone is going to say "learn how to park" but sometimes it's hard to...

    Rear quarter reflectors

    Just got a pair of rear qtr reflectors for my 99. I'm putting on clears to replace the stock reds. Only problem is, I don't know how to get the stockers off. I can barely get my hand up inside the fender to reach them so there's no way to get a visual on it and I don't know what's holding...

    Which air filter to buy?

    Maybe I'm a sucker for presentation but I watched their video demostration on the website and was blown away when they compared the paper.cotten gauze.foam on the same air flow model.

    Check engine, Speedo, and Odometer

    On the way to work today I look down and see that the Speedo and odometer aren't working. Not really that big of a deal since now it's not registering miles put on the car. But shortly after that the dreaded "Check Engine Soon" light comes on. Then getting off the freeway the idle is all over...

    I'm just the opposite, I'm just getting into 4th. Maybe a few hundred feet from the line I try to drop it in as fast as I can.
