    to all the haters:

    Nice stance... what size tires? Are you running all spring isolators (rubber or poly?)

    SSP Heater Hose Restrictor?

    Who's running one or is familiar with them? Is it designed to safeguard the heater core, or to improve cooling? Will the heater put out any less heat or warm up slower when running one? And where's a good place to buy it? I installed a new heater core earlier this winter & am going to replace...

    Front poly control arms bushings worth it?

    Good point- I forgot to mention I bought the bushings that come with new sleeves and require pressing the old ones out. Maybe next time I would just get the ones that press into the old sleeves... if MM sells them I'm sure they work fine.

    Front poly control arms bushings worth it?

    I installed those poly bushings and apparently the install was a pain but the results were worth it. In my case the stock bushings had turned completely soft so replacing them was necessary. I removed the control arms from the car and had a shop R&R the bushings and I guess they had to use a...

    Question about putting clear RTV down before paint.

    I'd go for the foam rubber gasket or some household silicone or good acrylic sealant applied after painting both parts separately. Seam sealer would fill the gap fine, but wouldn't it pretty much glue the hatch to the decklid? I'm not sure that's a good idea. Don't apply anything before...

    Electric fan install help!!

    Good question. I see everyone saying use a fuse/circuit breaker but they rarely mention a specific size to use. How about the 3.8L Taurus fans, what size is reccomended with those? Is a circuit breaker any faster or more consistent to react than a fuse? How do you reset the small 12V circuit...

    anyone seen HID lights on a fox body?

    Has anyone seen any '87-'93 Mustangs with HID headlights in person out on the road? If so did you notice how much glare (or lack of it) the foxbody lights put out with hids? I know a few members have the lights in their cars, but I'm wondering if anyone has seen them while in another vehicle...

    2000 GT coupe rear seats into foxbody?

    I know there was a thread on this before but I couldn't find it in search. I'm installing 2000 GT front seats and getting the rears along with them. The car they came out of is a hardtop and I have a foxbody GT. Will the rear seats fit? I know a few members have done the swap but I can't recall...

    How about this 5 lug swap?

    I'm trying to figure out how to piece together a junkard 5 lug, disc brake swap for cheap... so how about a turbo coupe rear with the MPV rotors & 1/8" spacer to convert to 5 lug, '94-'95 front spindles, and '99+ Mustang front brakes? Would these parts work together? What kind of master...

    RAG JOINT

    For what it's worth, the MM steering shaft is worth every penny of $200 if you like turning corners... gets rid of the numb steering feel that Ford probably has a trademark on and makes the car actually steer like it should...

    New Guy-New Car

    Nice looking car, and agreed on the tune up. That should help wake the car up if one hasn't been done for a while. Do wires/cap/rotor(brass terminals)/plugs (copper core)/pcv valve & screen (motorcraft), change all the fluids (your mileage is low enough you can go with synthetics), filters...

    Wheel Spacers?

    Wouldn't a rearend from an F series or fullsize SUV be a better fit? There must be something out there with disc brakes that's closer to the width you need... Sounds like a cool project though, any pics of the truck?

    Which motor mounts?

    How long did your vert mounts hold up? Did they seem to hold the engine in place pretty firmly or do you think poly would do better?

    3G just installed....

    I'm running a parts store reman 3G (Autolite brand from Shucks) listed for a '95 GT. Swapped the huge pulley it came with for my 2G pulley and added an additional 4G ground wire. I'm not running underdrives and I have yet to install my Taurus fan, but at idle with all acessories on the volt...

    1996 - 2003 dash, int in Fox body

    That looks way cool, I imagine it must be a ton of work though.

    Which motor mounts?

    I need to replace my motor mounts and I'm not sure which ones to go with. Do the polyurethane mounts really deflect less or are they mainly just longer lasting? I'm trying to eliminate all of my drivetrain slop and make the car more responsive so I'll go with poly if they really do make a...

    Replacing rear axle c-clips/cross pin?

    So I should just go for new O-rings and possibly a new pin? No need for new c-clips? Where can I buy the o-rings and cross pin?

    Replacing rear axle c-clips/cross pin?

    I have some side to side play in my driver side rear axle. Probably about 1/8" in and out. I'm assuming either the c-clip is worn or possibly the cross pin in the differential. I can tell the axle is moving in and out when I'm driving and it's very annoying. Where can I get new C-clips and a...

    Got some more recent pics of my car

    Nice ride, good move ditching the foglights. I'd just polish up the headlights/turn signals real nice, they look a little hazy there.
