    Smog Check Question - west coast

    Does anyone know how to reduce the NO(nitirc oxide) level readings on a smog check? I have fairly new plugs, cap, rotor, new fuel filter, and recent oil change. The more expensive route to fix the problem is to get new cats. ANy other suggestions? Thanks!

    Coupe Quarter Windows... Arghhhhh!!!!!

    It's so hard trying to find a good set of replacement quarter windows and molding for fox coupes! I've only seen moldings that glue onto the existing ones and I haven't seen any on ebay. Is this part no longer made anymore or can I still get this at the dealer (probably for an arm and a leg!)?

    Doing front brakes soon, need some answers...

    I'll be replacing my front brakes soon (1990 Coupe) and have a question about the rotors. I know there's an inner and outer bearing in the hub but I heard there's a washer (aka bearing race) that holds the bearings in place and I need some special bearing press to install these? I plan on...

    What if ..................

    I wonder how sales would be if Ford brought the Fox 5.0 back for one year. Have all the models LX(hatch/notch), GT, but no Cobra but only with the 302 V8. Would people buy them or would ford be making a mistake? Pricing would be similar to a base 2006 6cyl considering Ford would probably still...

    Which seats fit a Fox?

    I have a 1990 Notchback and want to know what seats fit my car. I have the velour seats and want to swap them out for the cloth seats with the adjustable leg bolster or maybe a new seat from an SN95? Question I have is if this is a direct bolt in or do I have to do any mods. Also, if the SN95...

    Stereo Question

    I'd like to replace my stock deck with an aftermarket cd/player. Is there a deck out there that will fit with just a new wiring harness? I've checked crutchfield and it states that I have to do a bunch of re-wiring work to the factory amp for any new stereo that I buy. I don't really care to...

    Tweeter Question

    I have a 1990 Notch and I'm in the process of replacing all the speakers. Which aftermarket speaker is a direct fit for the dash speaker? I've heard 3.5" is the correct size but when I searched crutchfield they only listed only one speaker that would fit the dash. I'd like more options, so if...

    Rear Seat Question

    I'm tearing apart part of my car (1990 Notch) to install some sound deadening (Damplifier) and noticed the jute/padding behind the rear seats. The car is 16 years old so this padding is just plain falling apart. I've searched around and can't find a replacement so I'm wondering if people have...

    Stock Speaker replacement

    There hasn't been to much help in the sound and shine forum so I'm posting this here. I have a 1990 coupe and I wanted to swap out my old speakers and get a set of aftermarket replacements. I'm not really into heavy bass, just wanted a nice set of replacement speakers. I've pulled off the...

    Stock Speaker replacement

    I have a 1990 coupe and I wanted to swap out my old speakers and get a set of aftermarket replacements. I'm not really into heavy bass, just wanted a nice set of replacement speakers. I've pulled off the door panels and the wiring there seems straight forward (unplug the two small wires and hook...

    Brake Question... Pads/bearings

    I'm going to be performing a front brake replacement (rotors/pads/bearings) and was wondering if I'll need those special bearing cup removing(ie. D80L-927-A , T77F-1102-A etc.) or installation tools( T73T-1217-A) to get the job done, or, can I use a punch tool of some sort instead? Also...

    Another 5-Lug Conversion Question

    I'd like to convert my 4 lug to a 5 lug and have searched this forum for pictures of the install/set up but can't find any. I've heard of the cheap way to do it by retaining the stock brakes but I don't want to do that. I'd like to upgrade the braking as well. Is there a kit out there...

    T-5 Transmission Fluid Question

    I've searched this forum and it seems everyone uses different fluids for their T-5's. I have a 1990 lx 5.0 with a 5-Speed ( I think that's the T-5, correct me if I'm wrong) and I'm about to change the fluid. The manual asks for mercon but people have suggested using Royal Purple Synchromax, GM...

    Clutch Quadrant Question

    I've heard some stories about the stock quadrant breaking while driving and I don't think I want that to happen to me. I've read that the Steeda adjustable quadrant/firewall adjuster works quite well. The question I have is will this R/R involve a lot or is it fairly manageable for a...

    Front Rotor R/R

    So I'm planning on doing a front brake job with new rotors. I've read in a repair manual that I'll have to install a new set of bearings/race/cage for the new rotor assembly. Can I do this on my own with a brass hammer or should I just bring it to a garage and have them press it in?
