    Drilling holes in frame, now battery dead.

    Will drilling into the frame cause the battery to die out?? I was drilling holes in the frame of my car for my new strut tower brace and when I went to start it up the battery was dead. I had the stereo playing as I was working on the car and all of a sudden it started going on and off...

    Hissing injector after AFPR install

    Me and a buddy installed my AFPR this weekend. Now when I turn the key and the fuel pump comes on there is a quick hiss like air is escaping. No gas is found or smelled. Also the fuel pressure is held any more. It goes up and comes right back down unless I start the car. We did remove the...

    TC rear disc noise

    I noticed that my rear disc brakes sweak when rolling. (loudly!) when I apply the brakes it stops. I checked the caliper and I saw that I only have one anti rattle clip for each rear caliper. Would this be the cause of the noise? I did a search on the net and couldn't find a place that sells...

    Changing springs in shifter

    I have a pro 5.0 shifter and my friend just brought a B&m shifter that came with two small extra springs for added side to side firmness. Well my pro 50 seems a little worn out and I was wondering if it made if difference if I used these springs?

    Installing sn95 interior light

    A friend of mines gave me a sn95 interior light (the one inside on the ceiling). I remember reading somewhere that this could be used in the fox. It looks better and they have switches that turn on the light. Do I have to mod up anything for it to screw in? Any special wiring work needed?

    Front coilover alternative??

    What springs would be a good alternative vs. doing a coil over for the fronts. I wanted to coil over the front but all my money will be going into my stroker project. I already have bbk caster camber plates and I plan on getting bliestien struts and shocks. What springs (and other parts) can I...

    Slotted/drilled myth?

    I was thinking about doing the slotted and drilled rotor look front and back. I did a search but didn't really turn up anything. I was told a number of things. -do it just for looks because performance is no different -they crack easy and don't last at all -they will help keep braking...

    Funny Alt problems.

    I think my car has been running on the battery for the past couple of days. The Alt gauge is low and the needle doesn't move when I rev the car up. I also notice the electric fan isn't spinning full speed either. Well today I got in the car and the alt seemed to be charging just fine...

    What is the Shuttle valve??

    When I did my rear disc conversion my PV broke when I was trying to tighten the Tee in to it. So we bypassed it and put the lines right into the Mater cylinder. I email Matt (the brake guy) asking him if this was cool and he said he would recommend putting the PV back on because of the safety...

    Vacuum Reservoirs?

    These canisters suppose to help out vacuum issues with your brakes when you're running a cam. DO they actually work? I've never seen anybody with it on there cars or even ask about them. I'm looking at the ones from summitracing.com (part# sum-g1464). I did develop an issue when I had my set...

    Need storker opinions

    Need stroker opinions I decided to go 331 but people at the races are telling me that it isn't good for a everyday street car. It would only last me about 7-10,000 miles. How true is this? I was told it's better to bore to 306 and I can get good power and possibly high 11's with that. Low...

    MM Vs. Russell???

    I'm about to upgrade to SS brake lines but I don't know what brand to get. I know the Maximum Motorsports brand are good but what about Russell? Russell is alot cheaper and if they do the same job than I'm all for it. I'm putting disc in the back so I might as well change the brake lines...

    Crown vic calipers??

    I was told that the front calipers of a 86 crown victoria is 73mm, comes with steel sleeves and they are a direct bolt on for a 87-93 stang. Can anybody confirm this? They are pretty cheap and it would be a steal! I'm getting ready to do the rear disc in the back (turbo coupe) and I want to...

    No spark/No fuel makes Johnny a dull boy.

    A buddy of mines went to start his stang up one day and it wouldn't start. He didn't here the fuel pump start up so we thought easy fix. Well he went and got one and the pump still won't turn on. So he tested the wires and everything. He even hard wire the pump to see if it would start and...

    Upper torque box fell off!

    I knew that it was going but the whole damn thing just dropped one day! I saw that it was cracking sometime last year. I upgraded to the MM torque arm suspension a couple of months ago so I didn't need the upper control arms at all. One day I was hear a loud rattling and I jack the car up and...

    Rear bumper question

    Would a rear bumper from an 84 gt fit on a 90 gt? I want to get a lx bumper and add the rear peice so I can have the tail pipes coming straight out the back and still have the GT look like in the pic. This is the bumper I was thinking of getting.

    The disappearing coolant trick!

    WTF! Every two weeks or so my radiator is only 3/4 full! The car doesn't run hot so I really don't know it untill I check it. I don't see any leaks. The radiator and hoses are new. I did my h/c/i last year so I have new gaskets. I don't puff any white smoke and the car runs fine. Where is...
