    What do you think of my custom grille? (pics)

    I like my grill better. But yours is really nice too. I looks better than the usual grill deletes.

    TYPHOON INTAKE w/ 75mm Throttle Body and upper Plenum - Does +35hp sound true?

    I hear if you add the Professional Products stickers to your car, it will pick-up an additional 15hp to go on top of that 35. Combine that with a cold air for another 10, plus re-routing the wiring for an additional 5. Wow who needs a supercharger?

    So much for my Saturday...F@$*%g mustang

    The one that is leaking squished in. It is probably ruined. It didn't want to fit in the rails all that good, so I ordered new gaskets. I should have done that in the first place. I thought this would simple like a 5.0. Now I know why the local shops wanted $150-200 for labor only on these damn...

    I want one of those scrap plates. It would be fun to drive around with sparks going everywhere. I'd do it.

    So much for my Saturday...F@$*%g mustang

    The valve covers are about like trying to install a set of long tubes. 5 hours later and I finally finished changing the valve covers out. Stock for stock. The original ones cracked on one side, and the other got hit with something and had a hole in it. I was just driving and heard this loud...

    i installed 3.90s and have problems, need answeres

    My 3.90's had no problem. They made zero noise. We set the backlash at 8. My uncle set up everything. At backlash of 14 it had a crappy pattern. He said to do it right it takes time, as changing one thing changes something else. So you can't just set endplay, then endplay, then just leave it. It...

    Want to start your car without depressing the clutch?

    You know those late 80's and early 90's Rangers had only like ten key combo's? My friend had a 94, and I had a 91. My door key would open his door with a little work, and his door key would open my door no problem. Both our ignition keys were pretty close, and I am sure with a little finese we...

    FUQ U 2. Virginia said I could have this plate, but I am still not registering my car here.

    It did. I need the net to survive. It is my only contact with the human world.

    $$GAS$$

    Read the book 'The World is Flat." It will scare you, make you write angry letters to Congressman, and what to live on an island with your own army fearing change. That will is up the alley of you deep thinkers in here.

    Want to start your car without depressing the clutch?

    After you break a clutch cable, then you know why this is a good thing. My factory clutch cable was a POS on my Porsche, and it unfrayed and snapped. I had no way of driving......until my uncle said disconnect the safety switch, put it in first, start it, and it will drive. It drove plenty well...

    I like the 4.10's. That is the way to go. I want 4.10's. I think the 3.90 is not the best gear for stock cars. I rode in a 4.10 car, and that gear seemed to be better matched to the trans and engine. After the 3-4 shift in the quarter the 4.10 car keeps going. My 3.90's fall flat after the...

    Finally, I return...I have internet again!

    With Verizon FiOS I can haul azz. DSL is dedicated all the time, not sharing the bandwidth with 1000 other people. My friend has Road Runner, and he doesn't have many complaints about it. Comcast is horrible. I had their 10Mbps service, and I was lucky to get 1-2Mbps. Sometimes it slowed down to...

    Finally, I return...I have internet again!

    I finally got XP right. I don't plan on switching to Vista until Bill Gates threatens me with a cruise missle strike. I like Linux. I have SUSE on my laptop. I have some nice Windows emulators for it. The only reason I use Windows on my main box--the games.

    I don't recommend 3.90's. I run those, and it runs more like a 4.10 car than a 3.73 one; and the 3.90 doesn't seem as well matched to a NA engine. I have to shift to fourth in the quarter almost at the end of the track, and that one shift kills it. It drops a bit out of the power band, and I end...

    Finally, I return...I have internet again!

    I doubt much happened in my absence. I finally put my cable BS into the scrap heap, and got DSL again. DSL is the best, period. I even switched cable companies. After what I told Comcast I don't think they'll ever let me be a customer again. I like my Verizon, but damn, every five seconds it...

    darkshadow, what emblem is that on the side? It looks like an ancient Ford hood badge or something.
