    RIM jobs... who's experienced?

    haha, sorry about that... :rlaugh: So anyone feel like being the hero here and coming through with some good pics of rim selections?? I have found a few chrome wheels that might look good but I'd have to see them on a mustang first :-/

    RIM jobs... who's experienced?

    Ok, so i'm looking to buy some rims... I probably won't anytime soon but I'm saving up for them anyways. I have sumitomos on the car now, hrt +'s. The tire specs are 245/45zr17 with a rim width of 8", although the sumitomo site says they have a "rim range" of 7.5 to 9 inches. Does this mean...

    Fog light failure...

    Yes, the drivers side cable--the one I could get the 12V reading on--does infact work well to illuminate the fog light once plugged in. Thanks for the advice about the Multimeters and the alligator clips. Btw, I picked up my MM from radioshack for like 8 bucks. Ok after using the...

    Fog light failure...

    ooook.... Here's the update: Today the drivers side fog light magically started working :shrug: . But anyways, I checked the garage and found a test light. I played around with it for fifteen minutes only to finally read the print clearly inscribed on the back which read "90-140...

    Fog light failure...

    Ok, So if i'm using a test light and I connect the ground to something else (which can be the body of the car?) than how do i connect the other pos/neg wires of the test light? Would I have to splice open the wire that goes to the fog light? And as far as testing the relay input, is this...

    Fog light failure...

    Ok I have a gt with a cobra front end. It took me a while to get lights to fill the holes in my cobra front bumper and now that I finally have them installed they don't work :-\. The lights are brand new and I ordered each one separately so its very unlikely that both lights are bad so I'm...

    Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

    OK... well, like I said, the squeal noise was most prevalent on the A.I.R. pump when I listened through a stethoscope but just to be sure I'll dab some soap on the belt next time. The only problem is I live in Texas so I have to actually WAIT for another cold day before I can check it again...

    Ok, i'm seeing prices for used smog pumps at around 100 bucks like you were saying. Would it be a heavy risk buying a used one? I'm not sure how often they go out. Btw, are "smog pump" and "air pump" interchangeable? :shrug: Thanks, -Will

    Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

    Ahh, I see. So without the A.I.R. pump, your car would run the same but it wouldn't produce as environment friendly exhaust? Ok, I whipped out the stethoscope yesterday morning and touched it to each pulley. The squeel noise seemed to come most prominently from the pump on the very bottom...

    Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

    First: you can start your car without the belt on?! Second: Don't you need your smog pump to pass inspection? P.S. What exactly does the smog pump do? Do all cars have them? I'm sort of under the impression that it takes some of the exhaust and recirculates it throughout your engine. I'm...

    Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

    Ok, I checked for any noticeable signs of wear or misalignment on the belt itself and didn't find anything peculiar. I'm off to go grab a stethoscope (ten bucks at Oreilly's) I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning when its cold to check it again but until then heres a pick of the belt--just...

    Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

    Hmmm... well in my experience HISSIN50 is almost always right, haha. But anyways, I suppose I'll peek under the hood one more time and see if anything looks out of alignment and if I can't find any obvious problems I might go pick up a mechanics stethoscope. I'll be sure to let you guys know...

    Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

    The smog pump or the idler pulley, eh? btw "squeel" is a much better description, thank you. Ok, so If its one of those, how can I be certain? Are there ways of checking these things to see if they are the cause, and also how much are we looking at, cost wise, for them to be fixed?

    Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

    Hey, Ok, with the winter season comes a little more cold weather--its about 40 degrees in the morning and my car is having trouble waking up to that cold weather (don't we all). When I start 'er up in the morning there is a terribly ugly squeaky sound thats coming from under the hood. The...

    Seasonal complications?

    I'm fairly positive its not a problem with the brakes... it doesn't occur as a result of me letting off the brakes as much as its a reulst of the car beggining to move. As far as the other noise that your laughing at me about: http://www.countdowncreations.com/toyspsoundtube.htm ^theres a link...

    Seasonal complications?

    Ok, whenever it is wet outside (like after it rains, or if its super humid) my suspension gives out a loud squeak when I slowly move from a stop or when i'm slowly stopping. Sometimes the squeak lasts as long as i remain at a very slow speed (around just a mile an hour or so) This has been...

    headers: equal or unequal? that is the question

    Ok, so i'm looking to replace my stock headers with something a little more fancy :D So my question is, if my headers are stock then i'll have to replace them with the same size, correct? I'm assuming this size is short pipe, but if this is the case are they equal or unequal length...
