    Help with tires....

    I've been through lots of tires from pretty much every manufacturer, usually around 2 sets per year due to track time. The best tires I have found, especially for the money, have been the Toyos. They were the quietest, best handling tire, even up to 165+mph.

    i just bought an 02 mustang gt

    Exhaust won't help that much for the dollars spent. I would fix the deficiencies first before going after more performance. So here is my 2 cents worth. 1) Upgrade the shifter. 2) Get subframes. This will save you from sticky doors, body squeaks, and will help in the handling. 3) Get a...

    Ford Windstar Tranny won't stay in Overdrive

    There is a switch on the tranny stalk on the console. It works normally when the tranny is working correctly. After the tranny starts staying in Overdrive, it won't do anything other than make the light go on and off.

    Ford Windstar Tranny won't stay in Overdrive

    Gentlemen and Ladies, I'm tearing my hair out on this one and could really use some help. My 2000 Ford Windstar with 165K miles and just passed emissions with flying colors (I run synthentic oil), won't stay in Overdrive. I get on the freeway 3 miles from my house. For the first 10-20...

    Car dies ALL the time.

    I had a similiar problem when coming off a freeway or just from a steady state throttle position. We never really solved the problem directly since we did a lot of other work right after it cropped up. However, assuming it's not a computer programming problem, I would look for the following...

    Cobra R brakes - Lines rubbing wheels? Pics

    I would say probably. Those brakes aren't even designed to go on 17" wheels, 18"s are recommended. They won't fit under the stock 17" wheels. That gives you more room the way the hose angles up.

    Cobra R brakes - Lines rubbing wheels? Pics

    I ran 18x9 so I don't have the problem. Can you wire tie them to the shock?

    need help with a 00 gt fuel pump

    The pickup is either stuck or the cable is damaged. I would bet the the pickup is the problem. Either way, you have to drop the tank. It's not hard to do (I've done it in 15 minutes with a couple of guys) but having a lift really helps. It's tough to do with jackstands though unless you can...

    steeda vs maximummotorsports rear sway bars

    I have the Steeda unit and have used it on the track and street for about 70,000 miles. It's nice in that it's adjustable to how much body roll you want. The trade off is that the less body roll you have, the more traction you lose in the tires not being able to plant when you accelerate off...

    Solve my problem and Ill mail you 10$

    I had a similiar problem. Mine typically happened when I came off partial throttle from the freeway or just cruising down the street. Never did completely track it down but I would look at the voltage on the MAF when that happens.

    You need a bracket to support the weight with the Anderson. It doesn't come with one but the bouncing of the car is your problem. Get a bracket. Problem goes away.

    The end all be all cam thread.........

    I just had Livernois do the heads along with their Stage 1 Cams on my GT and hit 643rwhp with the fuel system not updated enough to handle and tuning not completed so I'm kind of partial to those cams personally. However, I think it has a lot to do with the heads obviously.

    Modding My Mustang...

    Talk to Livernois or one of the experts on the heads before you start. For example, my 2000GT with blower easily hit 350 with a vortech and stock everything else. The 96-98 would barely clear 300 with the same setup. Ported from Livernois, my car has hit 643 rwhp with the same blower. I...

    Vortech driveability

    When I got my S-Trim from Steeda, the driveability was like stock. If you don't have a lot of mods other than the S-Trim, I would contact them.

    New Dyno Results

    I didn't have stock cats, I had the Bassani inlines that were supposed to be low restriction. They fall apart though. They are saying they have a ceramic version but it's not on the website so I don't know how I"m supposed to know that. I was thinking of Viper cats but Kieth says they have...

    One thing that we are learning as the engine gets rebuilt is what works and what doesn't work. I'm no longer a fan of aeroomotive after several fuel pumps and filters. They just don't last in a street environment. My new throw it away is Bassani in-line cats. The don't last in the street...
