    Door Panels?

    I think you are pretty much screwed on this. I know someone made door panels for our cars, but that was a few years ago. I don't think they make them anymore (no profit in them). I think you really have 4 options. 1) Try to find a set of used ones. Even local junk yards typically have a...

    Headers To X Pipe

    Sorry, I shouldn't have told you NOT to get them, it is not my money, therefore, not my place to tell you what to do. As for my long tubes, they have yet to scrape. My engine is dropped 1.5" for clearance, and the suspension is quite low. I have about 1-1.5" clearance between the tire and the...

    I Need Your Advice Can You Please Help

    Looking at the ad, it seem like a decent deal. I would ask some questions......what does "full suspension" mean? I see MM Caster/Camber plates, but what else has been done? Shocks? Springs? Panhard? Have gears been done? Does it have a chip/handheld tune? Otherwise, the engine bay looks...

    Trunk Lid Help

    Can you post pictures? Is the alignment off just near the window, or also off where it meets the rear edge of the taillights and rear fenders (the vertical portions)? I have a gap between the window and trunk. It is "filled" by a rubber flap that prevents me from seeing the bottom of the...

    Rear Seat Delete: Teh Write-up

    This thread.....revived from the dead! LOL Samagler......try to get a local stereo shop to make it. The shipping of the big a$$ box would probably cost more than having a local shop make it. Hell, take the dimensions, go to a school wood working shop, and hire some kid to make it......even...

    Engine Loud Humming->oil Pressure Tanked->rpm Tanked

    First, what year and model is it? 96 GT? 04 Mach 1? That can a huge help since the information here is a bit......vague. What do you mean? When it stops the oil pressure tanks all the way down...... When WHAT stops. The loud humming sound? The engine? You also say the RPMs tank, so I...

    Mustang Aesthetic Help

    I can't see your picture at work, but....... It has been done a couple different ways. The first one I saw was several years ago, but, if I remember right, it was a nightmare. Basically, they took the Cobra rear, and cut out the portion that said COBRA, and cut out the part of his GT bumper...

    Forced Induction 97 Cobra Project With Kb 2.6

    As long as you are comfortable with the cost that is going into this build....then go for it. 1) To stroke or not to stroke. I wrote a dissertation on this in college, so I have done a bit of research. There are 3 ways to look at the engine. Square, oversquare, or undersquare. Square...

    Headers To X Pipe

    If you have the Pypes XFM16 or XFM36, then yes, they will fit the BBK shorties. Now the real question, why? The x-pipe, good idea. Shorty headers, not so much. They don't do crap for these cars. They don't flow really any better than stock manifolds, but they can save some weight. As for...

    Suspension Problem

    The struts would not determine the height, but the springs could. Here are some questions and recommendations. 1) Are the springs installed correctly? The "pig tail" end of the spring has a slot that it fits into on the control arm, is that lined up correctly? 2) Spring isolators. Are...

    Fuel Heating Problem.....questions

    I typically don't go much below half tank, but yes, I understand that concept. I just put in a BRAND NEW Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump, the filter was NEW as well. I think when I said "replaced", it might have been confused with "used". Just wanted to clear that up. I think I have too much flow...

    315 And 215 Tires And Rims

    You will have to go staggered, and even say so by the 17x9 and 17x10.5. Staggered just means different size wheels in the front and rear. As for the dish part, that is about preference, and does nothing for wheel performance, or fitment. The offset, backspacing, of the wheel will determine...

    Fuel Heating Problem.....questions

    I am back in the country for, well, at least a little while. I am hoping I don't deploy again for the next year or so. Onto the car...... It is running great. Short trips, no issues. On hot days, 30 mile trips and I can watch my fuel pressure drop as I am driving. It will dip down to...

    Intake Question

    Hose A is the hose from the CAI to the drivers side valve cover. Hose B is PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) to the intake plenum. They are part of the engines pressures and vacuum system. Metered air comes in past the MAF on the CAI. It then goes into Hose A and is sucked into the drivers...

    Stright Pipe

    I had a friend tell me something similar once....and he came back with straight pipes from the manifolds back, no H or X pipe, and no mufflers. It sounded so bad, I thought I needed to end up in the ER from laughing too hard. With that said......if you are going to get an off-road x or h...

    Gt500 Mufflers On 2v??

    I love the Whipple. It was the best thing I could have done. I am not even working the blower hard for 718/626. @ 18 psi and 91 octane, I am leaving a LOT on the table. It is really weird driving. I use it as a daily driver and as long as I don't floor it, it is very calm. My cams and...

    Gt500 Mufflers On 2v??

    I know I dont have room for a set of mufflers behind my axles. Hell, right now, I am having trouble with just pipes getting too hot and melting my gas tank cover. Hell, the tips have even melted a spot on my rear bumper..... I like "creative" ideas, but I dont get.....it came off of a GT500...
