    Help! TPS volts reading opposite?

    So I'm trying to rectify the common idle drop issues and have found many helpful threads here. I have checked for vacuum leaks, replaced the IAC. The IAC has helped some but the idle drops below 500rpm occasionally. Usually when coming to a sudden stop. It has not died out. I went to back...

    Opinions on rear control arms and sub frames

    So not only are my bushings shot but the passenger rear upper is broken at the seam around the top bushing! I prefer MM components but I'm on a super tight budget right now. Found this set on ebay which includes rear uppers, lowers, and SFC's. I would order bushings for differential side too...

    Rear upper control arms

    I recently upgraded struts/shocks/coil isolators. My car had 2" drop coils on it for years from previous owner. Therefore now it sits a little higher. Well now my bushings at the rear upper control arms are squeaky. I imagine that is to be expected when you change the geometry of the...

    Those who have MM c/c plates PLEASE read

    Anyone here have issues with strut shaft ending up to close to the edge of the opening in the strut tower? I see not much more than 1/8"-1/4" of clearance at the back/outside portion of the tower opening and bottom plate. Which seems to prevent the bumpstop from going all the way up to the...

    Attn. Short throw shifter owners..feedback please

    It makes sense to me to have some heat transfer to a part billet shift knob like mine. But how hot do yours get?? It was pretty hot after a 50 mile trip. Is that normal? I'm worried because shifts are rather resistant unless your in the rpm sweet-spot. They always have been though which is...

    Props to Tokikos and MM C/C plates!

    Amazing difference! Much more control. Props to Tokikos and MM C/C plates! I bought my car with Intraxx 2" springs all other suspension stock. Finally got struts, shocks, and cc plates. Also did coil isolators and shorty rear bumpstop. Raised it up noticeably but not much, has settled a...

    Anyone here run at Irwindale, CA ???

    There are always plenty of Mustangs there. One guy last week was running low 5's @ 115 range in a KB Terminator daily driver on slicks. He eventually got owned by an old school GTO, but that was definitley not a daily driver. Every Thursday night $10 to watch $20 to run. Not the greatest...

    Suspension opinions and recommendations

    Forgive my noobness...I bought my car used with some mods more tasteful than others. Currently I'm trying to improve the suspension/ride on a budget. Keep in mind it's more of a weekend warrior than an all-out racer. It has Intraxx sport springs (almost 2" drop) but stock struts/shocks...
