    Spring Break-in?

    Hey, just had a new Maximum Motorsports sport suspension kit installed. Went to the alignment shop to button everything up, they said they won't do it until the car has been driven for some time to break in the springs. Problem is, the installer said do not drive until aligned, it was jsut setup...

    Smokin'

    So I've noticed some smoke coming out of my tails, seems to be worse after the car is warmed up. I noticed that it is at its worst when the car is warm, I shut it down for a few, then restart. Does this sound like rings or valves to anyone? I forgot to mention: I've been using oil, that's why I...

    Problem?

    So I'm driving home yesterday and was waiting at a light. I went to go and 'fumbled' the shift a bit and almost stalled. I got it into first, but it wouldn't go into second. Fourth and reverse were no good, either. Then thrid was out, and eventually fifth. I was around the corner from my house...

    Some brake questions

    I had my brake system in my '90 upgraded with a Baer 4-wheel disc kit with 12" rotors all around. A couple of quick questions: when the time comes to replace these rotors, what am I replacing these with? Standard 94-95 size rotors? I assume that these calipers would need to be replaced if I...

    Could a bad hose near the t-stat that allows bubbles to enter the cooling system screw with a t-stat's ability to function properly? I have done much trubleshooting yet, but I think I have a bad hose since I've been finding coolant next to my water pump. I my fan controller has been actinig...

    Vacuum Tree

    So I have my car put back together, and sent it to the machanic to button-up a few things. I noticed over the weekend that the vacuum tree by the firewall is totally busted up. How involved is it to redo the vacuum lines? Also, what impact does this have on the car (performance, problems, etc.)...

    Old problem resurfaces

    So I figured I'd take advantage of the nice weather yesterday and get the stang out for a drive to fill the tank with some gas. Car was driving fine. One thing I notiiced was that the car doesn't get up to operating temp with the new t-stat, perhaps it's stuck open. I had the car idling to get...

    Spindles

    I ordered and installed Baer's front and rear disk brake upgrade for my '90 which came with Fox front spindles which are modified for 5-lug. As a result, we needed to use spacers on the fronts so that my Bullet wheels would fit. Since I'm not appy with this spacer situation, I want to upgrade to...

    Dumping Fuel?

    So I have the beast back on the road. It's been two years. Anyway, I have a bit of heavy exhaust coming out. Not heavy smoke, light smoke, but it smells a lot like fuel. New plugs, wires, sensors, etc. What else can cause this? FYI: no cats.

    New Baer Brakes

    So I got my Baer brake kit installed on my '90 GT. So far, the braking isn't very good at all and the pedal is very stiff. Is there a break-in period? I mean, I couldn't lock those brakes up right now if my life depended on it.

    Brake upgrade problems!

    OK, this is going to be a part vent/part I NEED HELP situation. I got the Baer brake upgrade for my '90 from Steeda. I also got Ford Bullitt wheels (17x8). My mechanic is telling me that not only will I possibly need a spacer in the front, but also the wheels are going to be sticking out about...

    Bad head gasket = low oil pressure?

    I overheated last week and had a boil-over from a fan dying on me. Now, I noticed my oil pressure is low. The oil looks clean and so do the antifreeze, but there are mad bubbles in my radiator. Anyone?
