    Front Suspension Question - Removing Spindle from Ball Joint?

    Getting dirt and moisture in there could damage your rack. I'd get a new boot while your have everything disassembled. You'll have to unscrew your outer tie rod end and jam nut to take it off. Be sure to take measurements before you disassemble anything. And take care not to turn your steering...

    How to get better MPG

    The increase in fuel economy from using 5W-20 is negligible and it doesn't protect engine parts as well as 5w-30.

    Best Place for exhaust

    +1 for ebay, or better yet check the classifieds of sites such as this one for a used piece. It took a bit longer to find what I wanted but I ended up paying about half what I would have for brand new pipes.

    Subframe welder

    I'm looking for a shop/person to weld on some MM subframe connectors in the SE Michigan area. If you have a place that you'd like to recommend please let me know.

    My first attempt at an exhaust video

    I think the camera is too close and that is what is causing the distortion.

    Got my Cobra brakes today.

    I didn't paint mine though have such a dark thick coating of rust/brake dust it might as well be black paint. Even with my FR500s on I don't notice it, because the rust is so dark it gets lost in the shadows. I imagine it depends where you live, if you live in the rust belt and they are going to...

    Got F'ed over last night by the cops

    Since it is a misdemeanor get a lawyer so that you don't spend time in jail. Best case scenario the cop won't show and you'll just have to pay the lawyer, worst case you'll have to pay additional fines. If you have a good lawyer he should be able to get the charges reduced down to a civil...

    Tierod end recommendations

    Both of my outer tierod ends are shot and I'm going to replace them. My question is if I should stick with the OEM units or upgrade to an aftermarket peice such as MM end. On my car I'm really not sure if it would be worth the upgrade since it's so lightly modified. Also I'm a little concerned...

    Catted H - any options besides MRT??

    Since you live in Canada and I'm pretty sure they salt the roads up there you should get something made out of stainless steel. All the ss midpipes are going to be around $500 US give or take $50. You really might as well get a MRT if you are serious about an H.

    BFG KDWS tires any good?

    I think those are the OEM tires for the optional 18" wheels.

    BFG KDWS tires any good?

    +1 for tramlining I couldn't have been happier to get RID of those tires. All of the all-season tires in the sizes that Mustang users use are a compromise at best. If you need all-season performance buy some summer tires now and come November or December get some Dunlop Winter Sports or some...

    midpipe fitment ques?

    It may depend on the maker of the Mid-pipe but if you look on this page both the Magnaflow and MRT pipes work for both cars.

    I think your engine light would go on if your cats were bad.

    help finding the best air intake for 03 gt 4.6

    If noise pollution is a concern in your state you can get a muffler that will be relatively quiet at idle and loud under load. I'm a fan of the Magnaflow/MRT combo personally:) Depending on the state it also might be a good ideal to have cats.

    help finding the best air intake for 03 gt 4.6

    If you do get one make sure it is made out of plastic, metal ones turn into hot air induction kits once they soak up engine heat. I really didn't notice much of a difference when I installed K&N unit. Perhaps it was a little more willing to rev but there wasn't an appreciable gain in power...

    1st upgrade

    Since you don't have a super charger I'd say Bullitt. But I think that only works with PI heads so that wouldn't work for you. Most of the aftermarket intakes out there are going to sacrifice your low end torque unless you have a blower. Your best bet might be to replace it with stock. Check...

    This Is Why I Love Ford!!!

    This is definitely a direction that Ford needs to go in. They need some halo cars to excite the masses and fuel sales of the lower models. I could see myself driving something like this I think I would prefer a performance version the smaller and lighter Fusion or a Mazdaspeed 6. One can only...
