    Mustang a "chick car"?

    I can guarantee my wife would not agree with the "chick car" thing. She would like nothing more than for mine to go away. Something about spending all of my time and money, talking about it, working on it, watching videos, trolling forums....blah, blah, .. blah, blah, blah......... :shrug...

    Is Hotpart.com reliable?

    I will be installing mine this weekend as well. Let me know when you are starting your install and I'll race ya. :rlaugh: +1 on the laptop also, I am definitely NOT a mechanic so I always keep it close by for reference.

    Another reason not to street race

    The worst part of this is that some sucker is going to end up buying that car for a lot of money and never know what he is getting himself into.

    Is Hotpart.com reliable?

    I don't want to take food off of anyone's table so I thought I would let everyone know that my LCAs have arrived. A little later than expected but it was just a simple oversight, I wouldn't hesitate from buying from them again. I am kind of surprised that they don't come with instructions...

    meizrie electric water pump

    I thought this would be a good mod also but is anyone using it on a DD? I don't remember where but I read recently that Brenspeed reccomends them for track use only. I would like to know what the downside to having one of these on a street car would be.

    Post Pypes O/R H pipe install

    I don't have a torch so I just cut a little notch in each bracket with the cutting wheel on my dremel. It isn't the prettiest fix but it worked. I would be very surprised if this isn't the same issue you are having.

    Is Hotpart.com reliable?

    I got a call from someone at Hotparts a little while ago and they said they will get the LCAs out to me on Monday. Sounds like I should be all set. I guess everyone is entitled to make a mistake once in a while, not a big deal as long as I get them. I should check to see what else they sell...

    Is Hotpart.com reliable?

    Thanks and good luck with yours. I will definitely keep you guys up to date if I hear anything. I am guessing it won't be until Tuesday though since they are obviously not going to get back to me today. At least the relocation brackets look like they are good quality pieces.

    Is Hotpart.com reliable?

    I ordered J&M LCAs and relocation brackets from these guys about two weeks ago. They screwed up the order the first time when they processed my check card and took a few days to contact me to get it right. They charged my card for both parts but I just got the package and it only contains the...

    whats ya'lls take on hid conversion

    I can't help with any info but I would appreciate it if you can post your thoughts after the install. I am considering getting the 6000K H13 BiXenon kit from retro-solutions.com but I would like to hear some feedback about this kit before I do anything. Thanks and good luck with your purchase.

    UDP Install Question

    Good to hear that you got 'em on. I am assuming you took it out for a test run so what do you think?

    UDP Install Question

    I used the Chrysler puller and everthing went pretty smooth.

    No jacking on the rear diff.

    Thanks guys, that is really good to know. I have always been afraid to use the differential since the manual says not to. When my J&M relo brackets and LCAs come in this week I will have to give it a try.

    Muffler Install

    I just had a tough time getting to some of the bolts. It probably doesn't help that I have pretty big hands but I would think that they could have made it easier to access the bolts. I am assuming it has something to do with the fact that all 4 brackets are identical to save money in manufacturing.

    Muffler Install

    I put in my Flowmasters last night and I really would like to thank the engineer at Ford that designed the hangar brackets. I am not a mechanic by any means but I thought I would have had an easier time doing this. I was crying so loud that my wife thought I had Hillary Clinton in the garage. I...

    What gears for a 08 GT

    No doubt about it, 3.73s are not enough with the 18s. I had mine installed before I took delivery of my car after test driving one with the 17s and 3.55s. Using that as a guideline I ordered my car with 3.31s and had the dealer do the swap when it came in. I have regretted it ever since, these...

    Help!!!...Please Look

    I was actually hoping that someone was going to tell me it is from acid fumes coming from the battery or something else. Wishful thinking I guess. My wife picked up some sticky traps and mouse poison for me today (she still hates the f...ing car though, something about me being obsessed with it)...

    Help!!!...Please Look

    I have my car covered up in the garage for the winter and I pulled the cover off the other day to show someone the car and I noticed some of the material on the battery blanket is frayed. My first thought was that something is rubbing on it but I don't think that is the problem. Could it be a...

    trunk release button mod

    I like the fact that there isn't a button. If some jackass breaks into my car he still can't get at anything in the trunk. I park my car with the top down a lot and even though my alarm has a perimeter sensor and an interior motion detector you never know if some sneaky bastard could manage to...
