    help with clutch cable routing.

    well first off, I did a search and found that basically it in front of the motor mount and thru the K member and there should be a straight shot to the mount. Does it go thru a hole in the K or just in that area? right now I have it passing just beneath the steering shaft and I have a straight...

    uh oh...think I have gas in my oil

    well I was just out changing my oil and I noticed it smelled kinda like gas. I realized that between this oil change and my last I put UV dye in my gas tank, so I busted out the black light. to compare, I looked at some old oil I had laying around still and it glowed kinda blue. then I looked...

    where to get speedo gear?

    Well I need a new speedo gear (yellow), but I can't find it anywhere. I found it at steeda, but I can't order from them cause you need a signature for delivery and the UPS guy comes at 9am and 4pm, and I don't get home till 5 - so no delivery. and I'd have it shipped to work but on your first...

    Anybody know where to get this stuff? The usual local places don't have it, and I've found it online, but only in a kit with blacklight, gloves etc. anybody know where I can just find the dye itself? I'm really getting sick of having a gas leak somewhere and not being able to find it. thanks...

    just watched autoline detroit on speed...

    unfortunately it was taped before the detroit show started so we didn't get much info on the 05 mustang :( chris theodore was on there and the only thing said about the 05 was it would be the best performing v6 under $20k and the best bang-for-buck 300hp v8 (and of course he stumbled thru...

    think I might sell my 86

    Well, the damn thing is just getting the best of me. The shavings in the oil prety much topped it off, and the fact that I was offered a nice deal on a 68 fastback is pushin me towards it (dunno if I can get a loan rounded up to cover the cost tho). seriously, it seemed like I got a good deal...

    hey guys, is there any way to do this? i.e. modifying the brackets or something? I'm just getting sick of how high my seats are; any time I lean forward I hit my hat on the sun visor and its pretty torn up already from it. I have seats from a sn95 cobra and they are power, but not hooked...
