    Power Steering Delete to Manual Rack

    I think the reason for that is with a bad pump, you still have fluid in the rack itself. I've heard if you drain the rack completely, its the same as an aftermarket one (for the most part). I tried to just bypass the pump and it is a PITA to turn....

    Maplight replacement?

    sounds like the clip on it could just be bent out of shape...might try fiddling with that. I say try to flip it around and use it as a shift light :) sounds like it would be cool... or just use some adhesive velcro to keep it up...ghetto, but it would work... ...and paint it

    Power Steering Delete to Manual Rack

    what did you use to plug the rack with? what size bolts/whatever. I've been considering doing this, since my pump is leaking like crazy and I don't want to replace the pump and hose even though I have new ones already. I'd rather just rip that crap out if its easy enough to handle... drove...

    tailights

    the only ones that won't just bolt in are 79-82 into 83-93 (as far as I know)...those just require a little cutting. other than that, you shouyld be fine. all you really have to do is swap lenses anyway

    can't figure out why I use so much fuel..

    Well I still can't figure out why I am using so much fuel. I'm not sure of the exact mileage cause my speedometer doesn't work, but its around 10mpg. It used to be around 16-18mpg until I changed headgaskets and valve springs last October (car sat for about 4 weeks without being started during...

    Any Pictures? (Exhaust Ideas)

    I've seen people cut small semicircles out of the bumper...kinda gives the same effect that the 99+'s have. personally I think the GT ground effects look a lot better with no tails. just put on some dumps and be done with it :)

    Tips and tricks to wire hiding?

    I'd say just do one connection at a time...less confusing and you can do it at your own pace and still use your car

    Would a manual rack and pinion off a pinto work on a 5.0?

    79-82 stangs were available with manual steering. I've heard you can get the rack for like $100 at autozone. there was just a topic on this a couple days ago....

    how do you justify buying a NEW car?

    how do I justify modding? its mine, I'll make it look/handle/go fast/sound/whatever like I want. I personally don't think you should worry about your cars resale value...you're NEVER gonna make any money off of it, and you RARELY break even, so what's the point? and seriously, how many people...

    do you like this 05' photoshopped ?

    Not quite. photoshop nowadays is really made for everything...photo retouching, graphic design, whatyever you want. I'm sure though it started as a "edit a photo and it'll still look like a photo." Of course I use photoshop all day long to edit photos and keep them looking real (cause they're...

    how do you justify buying a NEW car?

    true you can get extended warantees and breaks on finance charges, but you will get RAPED on price at a dealer on ANY used car. seriously, I've been lookin at 01's-04's lately and you can pick up a 20k mile GT from a private seller for the same price or less than you can get a 40k mile v6 from...

    Trading in for 05: The ugly topic of resale value

    which is why I may be getting an 03 or 04 once the 05 comes out...cause they'll be cheap :) though i'm also actually looking at 02's right now too...I have a funny feeling I won't be able to afford a $25k GT, and sept/oct might be about the time I start needing a new car... and I still really...
