    Something else I want to buy....

    lots of guys are running 255's without problems. It probably won't corner as nice as a 245, but if you are looking for straight line traction, the 255 should be a little better. imo, unless the tire that you specifically want (like a Mickey ET Street Drag Radial) is only available at 255...

    HV oil pump required for cartech's street sleepr kit??

    how many miles are on the stock pump? might be worth the replacement (even with a stock flow, just new) just to not worry about messing up a pretty expensive turbo kit.

    Tilt Forward Hood..

    my '94 BMW 525i had a tilt forward hood. It basically opened to vertical and went forward quite a bit. I had to replace the thermostat, thermostat housing, belt, and a few othe things and always had a ton of room. You could try to find a BMW at a junkyard and grab all of the brackets and...

    Question about a PA ticket ... (not about a my Mustang though)

    why not replace the tint with legal tint to avoid the issue again? i don't understand why someone would spend the money just to make it illegal again around here, too dark is $250 plus a moving violation.

    Whats it worth

    if there is no rust and no big issues, I'd pay $4500 in a heartbeat. I would strongly recommend replacing the speaker grills and giving it a nice coat of wax. depending on the area you live in, start asking $5,000 or $5,500.

    Which will have better street manners: E303 or F303 cam? Something else?

    thanks guys. stock cam is going in for now as I already have it. custom will be looked at when I turbo.

    Modd qusetion!

    if I had to do it all over again, i would go with GT-40P heads ported by Thumper460 (maybe start off with ported E7's), a cobra/explorer intake ported by Tmoss (maybe start with a ported stocker), a custom cam, and either a small turbo or supercharger setup. keep the low end torque, its what...

    Which will have better street manners: E303 or F303 cam? Something else?

    foxfan, that definitely helps. thanks for taking the time to type all of that. ok, so I'll rule out the e-cam. if the powerband on the f-cam is 2800-5800 or so, I'm afraid that advancing it to bring it down will make the cam fall on its face up around 5k. I am really looking for some...

    I opened my motor. Does this look ok?

    i was running rich for a while, then screwed something up and it was seriously lean for a couple hundred miles before it was tuned. it was tuned at the end of last season and will be tuned again as soon as it hits the road.

    I opened my motor. Does this look ok?

    no idea what was used, my guess would be chromoly, but I haven't pulled the pistons to see what it looks like. I'm gonna wait until the heads are back before tearing apart the bottom end. can I reuse all of the bolts for the mains, rods, and heads? They are supposed to all be ARP.

    Which will have better street manners: E303 or F303 cam? Something else?

    i will be doing a turbo in the next year or so, as I mentioned in the first post, that is why I am having this debate now. Power after 6500 rpm? Doesn't matter to me. I want to put some miles on this car, so power off idle is what matters. I think I'll probably slide the stocker back in...

    I opened my motor. Does this look ok?

    heads are off for a ticking issue and oil consumption. they are going out to trick flow this week for a valve job and new guides and seals. when they get back, I am going to clean up the ports before putting them back on. after closer inspection, it needs a hone and new rings. I'm going to...

    I opened my motor. Does this look ok?

    yes, the engine is out. If the rings are bad, it must be every cylinder...they all look like that. I'll take a closer look at the cylinder walls later and try to get some close up pictures and post them. If I tear it down, I am thinking definitely new rings and an oil pump (just in case it...

    push rod help!

    every setup is different. you're best bet is to buy an adjustable length rod from summit, comp, crane, etc and adjust until your geometry is correct.
