    MAC cat back

    Same here. Had a set on my notch when I first got it. Didn't care for the sound at all - Flowmaster-ish, but with more "gargle" to it - and the highway drone was driving me nuts. I'd pick MAC over Flowmaster just for tone, if I was forced to choose between the two, but I'm not a fan of chambered...

    LED Tail Light Conversion

    It's been tried and done successfully only once or twice before by a couple of guys - the threads are in here somewhere if you search far enough back. Takes a TON of work, though, lots of fabrication, some serious electrical know-how, and it's fairly cost-prohibitive. And before you even...

    1990 5.0 LX HOT inside of the car..normal?

    I think it's just RWD cars, in general, that have this issue. The only reason we notice it more is because the seats in a Fox sit lower and closer to the center driveline hump than in other cars. FWIW, I had the same issue in every F-body car I ever had, as well. If you wanted to heat up a...

    Xenon light bulbs and Plasma light bulbs for headlights?

    The bracket weighs something like 20 lbs., actually. It's a big honkin' chunk of metal.

    Xenon light bulbs and Plasma light bulbs for headlights?

    Actually, I see more GT Foxes with NO foglamps AT ALL than I do ones with installed AND functional foglamps. Either they've got them in and they work, or they yank them suckers out and remove the foglamp mounting bracket to save weight. Being that so many people have problems keeping foglamps...

    Xenon light bulbs and Plasma light bulbs for headlights?

    Yeah, $20 for a fog lamp is insanity. I've always wondered ... does anyone ACTUALLY use fog lamps FOR DRIVING IN FOG? Always cracks me up to see people with them on around in Arizona in the middle of friggin' summer, for some reason. :rlaugh:

    Ready To Cry?

    Why bother? It's beat, broken, and scarred. Nothing "Saleen" or special about it at all, anymore. If I had money to waste and the time/working space to deal with it, I'd save it ... but not for $2,500. I paid less than that for my notch, and it was in better shape that that sucker. :notnice:

    Xenon light bulbs and Plasma light bulbs for headlights?

    No, Sylvania XtraVision bulbs are just regular OEM-type bulbs of a slightly higher output. Not sure how they achieve this, either with slightly higher wattage or a different gas fill other than halogen, or whatever, but it definitely does work. GE sells bulbs like this that are equivalent...

    Ah. Cool beans. :nice: Sorry for getting grumpy on y'all. I was just getting a bit irked that it was going on for so long and I was starting to assume it was being left active for a reason. Not all of us have real lives outside of Stangnet. :D

    So far, no pop-ups with using the Dark Sweet Blue color scheme that Lynn suggested - makes things hard to read, but better than Zwinky and Classmates ads every few clicks. But then, I haven't been on here near as much lately, so it could be that I haven't been clicking around enough to trigger...

    Xenon light bulbs and Plasma light bulbs for headlights?

    They do make true HID systems for '87-'93 Mustangs. However, their performance can either be so-so or a complete waste of money, depending on which kit you get. Some have a fancy adapter to plug into the stock wiring harness and fit into the stock lens housing; these tend to suck because not...

    I hate the darker color scheme because it makes it harder to read long posts or multiple posts/threads because after staring at a black screen with white or light gray lettering for awhile, you look away and you have these ghost lines floating around in your vision for awhile afterward. Can't be...

    I switched. I'll see if it helps. Sucks 'cause now I have to get used to this drastic change after (literally) years of the same color scheme on here. I hate change! :fuss: But I hate Zwinky ads even more! :fuss: :fuss:

    So ... I guess Stangnet's admins are just lookin' the other way on this one, huh...? :shrug:

    The Black Pearl - Progress Thread

    UPDATE: Not much new, but here's the latest... 1. Re-balanced the tires on the 10-holes ($25 ... probably got another 5,000 or so miles left in 'em, and can't afford a set of tires for awhile, anyway) and I swapped 'em back onto the Black Pearl. Looks better, handles better, speedo reads...

    Now I'm going to know what is going on. *pic*

    Did you make the radio/gauge bezel, or buy it from someplace? Looks pretty good to me. :nice:

    Anyone else not liking short gears with their 5.0??

    If you think 3.73's with a T-5 are bad and 1st gear is "useless" in YOUR car, you should try driving my notch with 4.10's and a T-5. The only thing 1st is really good for is taking off from a stop on really steep inclines or putting the car up on ramps, otherwise I honestly think taking off from...

    It's weird how this whole thing is almost selectively occurring, and only with certain people. Lynn insists she hasn't come across a single one yet, and we're sitting here right next to each other clicking all around on the same damned website. I'm thinking it has something to do with HOW one...
