    Brakes Sticking Caliper?

    If it was a stuck caliaper make shure u check out your rotor. Does it have a blue color with waves in it(overheated). I've never dealt with dual pistons.. Check your slider pins, They can dry up or get a little rust on them if it was sitting that long.

    Decode My Tag

    I got a decoder guide but it decodes your door tag/could be on B pillar. On the bottom of the tag, 2nd in from the right there should be a letter or #. It says Ax above this letter. If its a factory 5.0 it should be a 8.8.

    How Much Hp Does This Fox Have?

    Paint looks good. check the torque boxes, he had the drag radials/no exhaust on for a reason. make shure the frame is straight, look for any waves in the body panels. I'd bet it seen some track time. love them four eyes

    Engine 11 Mpg?

    did you fill it up a second time or are you going off the fuel gauge? Fill it up/push the mileage button, drive that tank out, then fill it up at the same pump. use that mileage and gallons to get your mpg. The gauge is just a float in the tank, they aren't the most accurate.

    Newbie. Lead Me In The Right Direction

    First thing I would do after you figure out your chirping problem is full length sub frame connecters. Weld them in, or pay someone to weld them in for you. Its a vert, you will feel the difference. I could feel the difference in my coupe. I wish I would have done it first.
