    Who uses Acetone in their gas?

    Do you guys know that this isn't something new, either? For a LONG time now people have been using it in their race engines (it's very well known in the marine racing community). They of course don't use it with better mileage in mind but rather more HP output (which I consider fuel efficiency...

    Capacitor specs?

    I need to know what the stock specs are for the capacitor inside the turnsignal flasher unit. Mine was altered by the PO and the specs on it are 10mF 50v. This makes the signals switch every 3 times as long! That's way too slow!

    Who uses Acetone in their gas?

    The acetone that your girlfriend is using for her nails also has other chemicals in it like perfumes and vitamins and ****. The acetone you want to buy is the one that has the chemical written out in atomic form. You buy it in metal tins at hardware stores. It has to be pure Acetone. I...

    Gas Mileage

    On my 96 gt with 111,000 miles, fipk, AT catback, mac h pipe, 315's in the rear, and an automatic I get about 17mpg 100% city driving. When I first bought the car I was getting roughly 13mpg. I added all the things listed above, cleaned out the maf, air temp sensor, iac, better engine oil...

    Responsible or a panzy?

    I've gone from a dig a few times, and once almost lost it into oncoming traffic. That was probably within the first month of driving my own car. I still occasionally do some quick launches, but I never go past around 60 on a 50 road.. I've hit 115 once (i was on the road by myself, I wasnt...

    It just died!! HELP!!

    It's probably not starting because of the PATS. It's probably faulting somewhere and is reacting as if you tried starting it without the normal key (which has the chip it in). It'll either crank and crank and crank and never start, or it'll start up fine and then die about 3 seconds later. But...

    need opinions on leaving the bottom isolators out when changing springs

    I recently took my eibach prokit out of my car and removed all the isolators. It dropped the front about 3/4" and the rear about 1/2". I don't have any noises that I didn't previously have. I just wrapped the bottom two coils on both ends off all the springs with 2 layers of duct tape. Here's...

    what are quad shocks for?

    That's weird because I removed mine all together. And I'm still using the stock LCA's and UCA's. The only thing that isn't stock are the springs (eibach pro kit). AND I get no wheel hop in corners or going straight!

    Pinging that I can't solve.

    So.. add it to my oil, then change the oil :shrug: What would that do that seafoam wouldn't? It'll lube while it's in there, but won't once it drains out..?

    Pinging that I can't solve.

    Well, my motor sounds like paint cans. :( On my 96gt (111,000miles), I can't give it any gas or it sounds like marbles in the motor. I've tried seafoam about 4 times, did FI cleaner, sprayed out the maf, put in some gas moisture remover and still no improvement. I bumped up to 89oc and it...

    List your FREE catalogs you receive in the mail MUSTANG related or not

    I used to read while pinching one off, but recently I've replaced it with something better. Now I like to reflect on myself and my life. It's very satisfying. :nice:

    Daily Driver year around ?

    Mines a DD 365 days a year. Living in the NE we get some decent snow. I use my stocker 16" wheels with regular all season tires in the snow and it's not so bad. I've never had any close calls either. I'll be moving up to Erie, PA this summer and the winters there should be atrocious. Getting...

    Anyone know how these seats feel?

    I do to, and I have lumbar. Electric lumbar, actually.

    Got new wheels.. PART 2!

    I already have 1/4" spacers but havn't tried them out yet. I know about the center caps! I'm not trying to pass my car off as a cobra, because there's GT badges everywhere. I just don't find it all too necessary to spend the money on those pieces just yet.

    Spilled Vinegar in My Backseat *sigh*

    If you pressure wash it with woollite it will remove any trace of the vinegar smell. You can also use enzymatic odor removers to be positive. To dry, just hang it out in the sun or bring it to a laundromat that has a low-heat tumbling cycler. Or you could spend hours with a hair drier

    Spilled Vinegar in My Backseat *sigh*

    If you're going to replace it, you might as well just remove it and try pressure washing it with some wool lite and seeing if that helps. If it removes the smell then just put the new-looking and fresh smelling carpet back in and save yourself the money.
