    Headlight screws/clips/ugh

    So I went to get the pwny inspected a few weeks ago and failed, because my headlights are jiggly. I managed to get the passenger side all tightened up but the driver side is another issue. Long story short, the damn screws that clip into the headlight assembly have come loose so they spin...

    Rotors and pads for 5 lug upgrade

    Hey guys, I'm collecting my parts to finish my 5 lug upgrade. I know I want new rotors and pads, but what do I pick? I'm doing the 10.8" 99 gt/v6 route...I'm thinking the brembo's that LMR carries with hawk pads? Or should I just go with whatever autozone has? I do plan to do some autocross...

    Let's talk Quad Shocks

    Hey guys, I had to remove my quads because I put 03 cobras on ranger axles, and flipping the stockers still didn't fit. Before I did this I had a wobble above 60, the shaking still persists and may have gotten worse but I can't say for sure. I had all my tires balanced but that did not solve...

    Dynolicous iPhone app

    Hey guys, not sure if anyone saw this yet but there is an app out for the iTouch/iPhone that uses the Gmeter to estimate horsepower, 0-60, 1/4 mile times, etc. You have to have the 2.0 software(10$) and the app itself costs 12$ but for the price it seems pretty cool. I just went out and tested...

    Removed quad shocks, have wheel hop, what to do

    I had to remove my quads because I bought wheels with too much backspacing for ranger axles and they rubbed even when flipped. I thought I didn't have bad wheel hop at first but I caught some serious air a few days ago on a bumpy back road which was scary and then yesterday from a stop I got...

    Paint (Maaco) Tips

    So I need paint really bad, and some minor body work from a nice fellow who backed his van into my stang when it was like 2 weeks new to me. Dad said he'd get it painted, but I know he's not going to drop thousands for a professional deal nor would I expect him to. Now I know, Maaco pretty...

    What will it take to make my stang run like new?

    So I bought this car knowing it was going to be a money pit. What I didn't know was that the engine was going to start knocking a few months after I got it home. Since the winter I have developed what I can best describe as a knocking sound coming from the drivers side valve cover area( I...
