    What Is This Part Name?????

    As with many hard-to-find new-old-stock parts, Jim at PPI has some, or had some. About halfway down the page here, but you'll fall out of your chair at the cost. http://www.performancepartsinc.com/suspension_79_93.html I would only do it if you're hard pressed for originality. Otherwise...

    Fox Installing Maximum Motorsport 4-point Roll Bar + Low Slung Door Bars In My '91 Vert

    After all that effort and expense, you should have the shoulder belts mounted by having them wrapped around the harness bar, not going over it and tied into the floor. Waaaaaaaay less stretch that way when push comes to crash.

    Fox Expensive Struts/shocks Worth It?

    Struts and shocks really are one of those things in life where you almost always get what you pay for, and it's almost always worth it. All else being equal, if you swapped out brand new KYB's for something like Bilsteins, you'd totally feel the difference and totally be happy with the...

    What Is This Part Name?????

    The technical term is "anti-tramp bar". They're basically slapper-type traction bars designed to limit windup-induced wheel hop. They came on '82-83 and early '84 GT's, after which they started using quad-shocks instead.

    Steering Issues

    As for the tramlining, these cars have what I think is a terrible scrub radius that gives the tires leverage against the steering. The wider the tire, the worse it seems to get, and if the tires have any conicity in their wear (e.g. more tread on the outer edge than the inner edge), it gets...

    Foxbody Vs New Edge On A Road Course

    These days I'm running a straight SN95 Cobra setup front and rear with Raybestos ST47 pads up front (closest thing to magic that exists for brake pads) and Hawk HPS pads in the rear.

    Foxbody Vs New Edge On A Road Course

    I was running Maxxis RC1's, which have a reputation for good grip and for wearing like iron. Unfortunately I'm running them in 235 width in a failed experiment. I was actually faster on 255/40-17 Hankook RS3 street tires, which are just about the best bang for the buck in the current tire...

    Looking To Quiet My 5.0 Down A Bit.

    I installed mine in place of an existing catback that already had Dynomax tailpipes. And I have had so many mufflers on this thing I've had to shorten and lengthen the intermediate tubes several times, so I don't know if they'd bolt right in place of an unmolested catback or not.

    Foxbody Vs New Edge On A Road Course

    I had a great time hooning around with a friend of mine with Arizona Motorsports Park track pretty much to ourselves at a PCA event last saturday. He's a competitive racer in NASA's TTC class, I'm just a longtime HPDE guy. Two very different Mustangs, very evenly matched. My car is a '92 LX...

    Looking To Quiet My 5.0 Down A Bit.

    Yes, those are the Dynomax VT's, and if/when I finally blow these ones, I'm getting another set. They're perfect. This thread is pretty interesting http://forums.corral.net/forums/general-mustang-tech/2240058-dynomax-vts-w-o-r-x-pipe.html Here's how mine sounded when I still had dumps. Way...

    Looking To Quiet My 5.0 Down A Bit.

    Dynomax VT's. Quiet and drone-free at part throttle, louder and snarly when you step on it. /thread

    Water Hose To Alternator Too Close ?

    They all had that corrugated plastic cover for exactly that reason. If yours is gone, you might be able to get some at a hardware or car parts store. They call it "conduit".

    Fuel Need Some Help And Advice

    I had a persistent problem with overheating and aerating the fuel with a 190lph pump...for YEARS. Not thinking it could be the pump, I insulated every line I could find, I shielded the tank, I wrapped the tailpipes, I went to dumps and back, and it wasn't until the pump started to die that I...

    Exhaust Bullet Style Catalytic Converters

    All well and good reasons, but in all fairness to the Mags, that 5 years and 40,000 miles included 4,000 miles of beating the :poo: out of it on road courses. When talking to Magnaflow and others before I bought them, nobody thought any of their available ceramic-substrate cats would last worth...

    SN95 Opinions On Catalytic Converters

    Couldn't be happier now that I have a new set of Magnaflow 59926 Spun Metallic's on my car. Knocked the stink right off, and even passed emissions with an E cam and no air pump. This is my second set of these, and I didn't hesitate to replace them with the same thing, given the road course...

    Exhaust Bullet Style Catalytic Converters

    Another testament to the Magnaflow spun metallics. I still had the old failed ones on the car, but I was tired of the stink, and I came due for another test. Now I have a new engine with an E303 cam that had me a little worried. I slapped in a new set of Magnaflow 59926's, dialed the timing back...

    Suspension Upgrades

    Don't do all that work and leave the crusty old balljoints in it, they contribute more than most people think to :poo:ty ride quality.
