Eric, you can rebuild that thing for about $70 worth of parts and make it better than a new one. Hell, I just sold the one out of my LX recently for $100 and it was freshly rebuilt with an extra clutch pack in it. I wish I had kept it now.

Yeah, I just found that out about a minute ago.

Say, what about the parts shopper stuff? Any more detailed ideas on what to get? I already think I'll get the Pro3i CCs and some steeda pullies. any other suspension goodies i should look at?

Actually, I went looking the other day but the server was down. I just went and perused though and other then the cc plates, I wouldn't bother with anything else suspension wise that partshopper sells. If you're looking to spend money, maybe a timing adjuster?

Alright, cause everything else there looked like Steeda and KB junk. And no timing adjuster for me. I don't like running premium gas.

The pro3i LCA's are also a good deal. They're basically MM rip-offs. The Steeda 5-link is a good set-up in theory, but IMO hasn't been track proven yet. Too pricey in Pro3i anyways.

Yeah, I looked at the Pro3i C/C plates and they looked exactly like the J&M Products ones I have on my Cobra. Which look exactly like the MM plates, but for over $50 less. Check them out here: www.hotpart.com

The Pro3i's and J&M's are, as far as I can tell, identical. However, the MM plates are vastly different (at least as far as 94+). Here are the MM plates.

On Edit: The D&D plates are quite similar to the MM plates, to the extent that there's a lawsuit over them right now. MM is fighting for patent rights to the 4-bolt design and rumint says they're going after D&D specifically for ripping off thier exact design. That's just what I've gathered through the grapevine, and is one of the reasons I'm not patroning D&D until I hear more on the subject.

Hmmm, yes those do look different. I must have been thinking of an earlier design or one from another manufacturer. Seems like anymore there are a lot of imitators in the Mustang aftermarket industry. I have heard a lot of bitchin and gripin about how UPR copies Steeda.
