    Suspension What Makes That "new Car Ride"?

    We've all felt it, that new car ride. I don't necessarily mean something like you might feel in a 4-door Mercedes or a Lexus or the like. In fact, I can feel it in my wife's 2010 Toyota car and my buddy's 2012 F-150. Somehow cars that still have that "new" ride feel, feel both firm and soft at...

    Least Expensive Catted X-pipe? (or H-pipe)

    Hi all. I'm looking for the least expensive H-pipe or X-pipe that has cats on it. Something like that performance one from Bassani. Also I was wondering how they can actually pass emissions when they have 2 less cats on them than the factory one from my 94 GT. My factory pipe has 4 cats total...

    Tach help

    I got a new tach I'm having trouble getting working. Can I just pop the hood, hook up the negative on the tach to the negative on the battery, the positive on the tach to the positive on the battery, and the signal wire to the negative on the coil? I'd like to test with the simplest...

    A little fuel gauge help

    I have an "electrical" question, sort of. Its on a chevy, but this really isn't a "chevy specific" question, more of a basic electrical question in my opinion. I thought I'd ask cause they don't seem to be of much help over at my chevy forums. So here goes. I'm wiring up some new gauges on my...

    Balljoints on a 94 pressed in?

    I'm looking to upgrade my 94 GT with steeda X2 balljoints. It seems they're good to have if you're lowering the car. Plus my old ball joints are wore out anyway. So I had a couple questions about it before I get started. Are the ball joints on the 94 GT pressed in? How hard is the whole job? And...

    Which block casting number to get?

    I'm about to start my first engine build for my 94 GT. And I had some questions as to which junkyard block I should be looking for. From what I've read there seems to be several different 302 blocks over the years, with several different numbers and sets of attributes. I want to build a 306...

    Suspension Which Isolators?

    I'm getting some new springs but they don't come with new isolators for my 94. The stock ones are probly getting wore by now so I thought I'd get some new ones. There are some seem pretty expensive, others are dirt cheap. Does it even matter? Are there good ones and bad ones like with many other...

    White light halogen bulbs?

    I was wondering if anyone can tell me if they make the typical halogen headlight bulb, in that cool looking white color. Not the blue that hurts everyone's eyes, but I seem to remember there being another color that some people use. The light that comes out is white instead of the typical...

    Car seems a little "cold blooded"

    Hi all. I seem to be having a little trouble out of my 94GT (bone stock) when I first fire it up for the day. When I start the car when the motor is cold, it seems to idle ok. But then when you go to put it in reverse, or even 1st gear, it starts choking up and trying to die. It seems to get...

    Six speed swap for a 5 speed?

    I've always wanted to have a 6-speed transmission in a 94GT. I've seen the prices online for the drop in kits, and they're pretty high and quite franky don't seem worth the money just for one more gear. However, there is one method that might be affordable enough. The borg warner 6 speeds...

    Best set of aftermarket street heads for a 94?

    Back when I was big into these cars, the heads you wanted were the trick flow twisted wedge heads. These days it seems to have switched to a brand I haven't heard of until recently: AFR. Are the AFR street heads the ones I want to get? If so, is there any particular reason why? I assume they...

    A better rear main seal?

    I am wondering if there is a better rear main seal for my 94GT than just the ford house special, or the autozone special. The reason I'm wondering is because I perceive there to be some sort of factory defect going on when it comes to the rear main seal in these cars. I have had two 94 GT's...

    Will the check engine light come on if I do this?

    I am wanting to do a smog pump delete. If I yank all that stuff outa there on my 94GT, will the check engine light come one? If so, what is the best way to make it go off? Do I have to take it somewhere and have them delete the code? I'm not talking about the EGR valve, just the smog pump...

    Lest expensive set of monotube shocks/struts for 94GT?

    Hi all. I have noticed that once you get into monotubes, the shocks/struts for a 94GT take a pretty good price jump. So I was hoping that someone here had already looked around and for the least expensive set, that is actually worth having. I mean I know you got bilstien, edelbrock, KYB, Koni...

    How much power do you think I could make...

    How much power do you think I could make, while still getting something that resembles stock fuel economy? In a 1994 Mustang GT. I wouldn't mind losing a MPG or two, but for right now while I am still in college, I'd like to keep the gas mileage closer to stock than an all out hot rod. So what...

    How to test MAF sensor?

    Hi all. I am having a little trouble out of my 1994 Mustang GT. The engine runs rough and lacks power, and the check engine light is on. So, I scanned for the codes. One of the codes says that the Mass airflow sensor is "Below minimum voltage". So I wanted to know how I can check to see if the...
