    NEED ADVICE FOR MY 95 STANG GT!!!

    Consider a full tune-up if you know nothing about the car's history or maintenance. Fresh plugs, wires, K&N filter, pcv valve, oil, oil filter, and a clean MAF sensor can make a big difference. Check the tire pressure every couple of weeks to keep that spot on. Maintenance isn't cheap, but...

    How do you all fight the temptation?

    As youi get older and you see the cars your friends and co-workers end up driving......you'll appreciate the stang more and more. All of my friends have SUVs, minivans, or some type of large sedan. Granted, I do have a Grand Cherokee, but that's for my wife. Anytime I take the stang to work...

    DEAD! (Where has 94/95 talk gone?)

    I'll become a daddy in January, so in the meantime I've been "modding" the baby's room. Busy schedule and whatnot get in the way too, but weekends are for the stang. No matter what, the stang gets driven regularly for some fun. I think gas prices and the economy overall has to be hurting...

    Do I need a Panhard Bar??

    The FRPP upper control arms don't cost that much, so I'd suggest getting new ones. You'd also need to get new bushings for the rear diff (available at MM and probably many other places). If you are satisfied with the RLCAs, you should be in good shape. The RUCAs only include one set of...

    Do I need a Panhard Bar??

    I went with FRPP uppers and MM lowers about 2 years ago to replace the bone stock stuff. Unreal difference overall. To me, it was as noticeable a difference as getting new springs, shocks, and struts. Just a much better ride with more predictable handling. I've got a panhard bar and it is...

    rattle in front end ... gone

    Was the rattle something that occured all the time or intermittently? Does it rattle only when you hit bumps or imperfections in the road? I have a rattle of sorts going on, but I didn't think it was suspension related. I think my rattle has something to do with the aging motor, but since...

    can i put a cluster from a 96 on my94

    I've been in a similar situation where I've wanted to swap the guages. My fuel level guage does not work and that really stinks with the gas shortages in Atlanta. I almost decided to just install a pilar guage with the fuel level, but would really like to just fix the fuel guage. Several...

    Any way to pass emissions w.o cats?

    Once my Bassani cats turned 3 years old or so, they were little help with emissions. I was a small amount over in a couple areas (can't remember off hand). When I swapped in two Magnaflow cats, my emissions numbers were excellent (like only 10% of the allowed value). I was concerned about a loss...

    09 challenger = 3.90's

    I saw the Challenger SRT8 at the local Dodge dealer last week and all I can say is.........HUGE! That is one massively large vehicle. Forget about the weight and the size of the wheels.......this cars is just plain large. Granted, the Challenger has some neat looks. It sits quite tall, but...

    Problems w/ the Neighbor

    85dB isn't much and anything that guy is measuring isn't going to be accurate anyways. If that guy wants peace and quiet, he should save up some money, get a better paying job, and plan on buying a house. Even then, a Mustang might be nearby. My car can be loud and I know my neighbors hear...

    94-95 crowd is a dying breed...

    Around Atlanta, I rarely see a 94/95 that isn't a V6 and even those are pretty rare. I get lots of comments on mine. Seems more people nowdays don't realize my car has a 5.0, but when I tell them so they seem a lot more interested. Kids at the local car wash go nuts over my 94 and how not...

    stock size tail pipes...any idea what size diameter?

    Like said above......2 1/4". Not sure if you still have the stock mufflers, but this would be an ideal time to upgrade the catback if you haven't already. Most catbacks are 2 1/2", but some have 3" or 3 1/2" tips. Flowmaster probably has the 2 1/4" catback kit, but I'd bet they have a 2 1/2"...

    Pretty cool girlfriend

    Wow! I literally just read that issue. I'm working from home today and took a few minutes break by reading some pages. My copy came in the mail yesterday. Your car is on page 183 near the showcase section. Very cool!

    New Alternator Issue?

    I got the same alternator a year ago or so and it has worked out great. I also used their upgraded wires. With such a quality unit, I found that my grounds were not good enough. Replacing the frame-to-block ground cable made a big difference. Cleaning up the ground under the water pump (on...

    Best cruise speed for mpg?

    I get 2-4mpg better mileage dropping from 70 to 50 mph. Most interstate trips where I stick to 70mph and cruise control net me 24mpg. On some long Georgia backroads, I've done 26+mpg around 50mph on cruise.

    Engine builders in Atlanta?

    MV Performance in Statham, GA does that kind of work. I'm seriously considering them when I'm ready for engine work to be done. They also have a dyno onsite. In your power range N/A, that shouldn't be a problem. Again, I haven't used them myself, but have heard good things. They have a good...

    How To Install Bolt On Sub-Frame Connectors

    Great post! As said by others, welded in subs are the best way to go and usually at a cost of $40 to $50 to have a shop do the work. MM full length subs would cost more and take a bit more time to get done correctly. I've got Kenny Brown subs and they made a big difference. Eventually, I may...

    Alignment Machines

    Go to a reputable place and you should be fine. I've had no issues with shops that use the laser stuff. Probably more accurate overall, I'm sure. Not sure where you're located, but in my area, lots of Vettes and the like use Goodyear shops and Kauffman Tire (chain here in GA). If you need...

    EGR value to exhaust header tube issue

    I need to replace my EGR valve and have decided to have a local shop do the work. No tools I have can get that exhaust tube off of the EGR. Even after soaking with WD-40 for a good while. Wish I had an actual answer, but maybe it will feel better knowing others have had no luck with it. I...
