Tech Discussion

final5-0 · Jul 29, 2007

If we were to have a detailed discussion on a subject

Is there any technical topic that relates to our 94-95 Stangs
that you feel we have not dealt with or you would like to
discuss more at length

Feel free to throw out two or three topics or whatever

*Unresolved steering 'dead-spot' problem on many of our cars
*Airbag system reset, or at least a way to clear the system without disabling airbags

hmm...that's all for now

And, to a lesser degree, the tendency for the driver-side rear tire to stick out further than the passenger.

I guess I just haven't gotten a satisfactory answer. Some say worn out bushings are to blame, others, claim they came from the factory like that (low tolerance production by ford?)

TB size, gears, what rims to get I just don't feel it gets enough attention

I have the same problem.

Only on the front AND the back though. :/

On a more serious note I would like more Tranny and Rear end info. Everyone says the Astro T5's/G Force are the easiest swap (direct fit) but are they holding up? I have yet to see a 94/95 Astro T5 or G Force talked about in depth. I know Nobody has one and from what he told me he loves it. Even gave me a vid of a pull he did, but so far he's the only one I know of. Can't think of anything else as this time.

what would cause the 93 and older cars to dyno more power than the 94/95 with the same h/c/i kits

This question had always been in the back of my head. I just never remember to ask, lol.

Mines like that on the front drivers is out further than passenger side. Why?

I am pretty sure the front is basically Fords tolerance allows it. The K-member is shifted over about a half an inch or so. As for the rear, either bent CA's or another example of Fords tolerances.

I would like a really good writeup of a convertible top install (not the PDF thing that goes around)...

Other items:

Get back to the basics, what cah be taken off the car to save weight, what it weighs, stuff like that.

Maybe a what works and what doesn't. What part has been the best quality , instructions, whatever, what has been the worst.

oh and of course, which gears should I get...

WHITE94COBRA · Jul 30, 2007

More agressive timing, the 88 93 mass air cars had a little easier time with bumping timing. The timing tables are slightly higher on the fox cars at the time.

For me, I really like all the suspension discussions, i'm a big fan of corner carving, and one of these days i'm going to actually install the watts link I bought wayyyy back when. Just havent taken the time to clearance the trunk space and reroute my Exhaust pipes. I believe you can get it to work with the rear exit pipes, it'll just be very tight.

Ohh and we need a good write up on old school methods and new school methods for fixing/testing parts.

ehh the cure for dead spot is simple, replace front bushings / steering rack/ steering shaft...

expensive yes, but that solved my dead spot problem..

I think if you willing to search and combine stangnet with that *other* site and the maximum motorsports site, theres not much that has not been covered..

I think we need stickies of the basics what tire size goes with what rims, gearing, transmission specs, block strength,things likethat

blksn955.o · Jul 30, 2007

I would like to see more detailed tech on rebuilding a t5/tloc.

There are several of us who have done all of the above and the problem still remains.

Difference between 302 and 305 (chevy)

Easy. The Chevy is more or less a boat anchor. The 302......well it's just damn good.

No seriously though, Engel saying we just need stickies of all this info makes me want to compile all this information. I mean we all have endless amounts of info at our fingertips through the internet, but it's the finding it that can be the real hang up sometimes. I think it would help everyone out and help clean up the forums cause there'd be less, "What size tires do I need?" or "What size MAF do 94-95 Cobra's come with?" and similar threads.
