    Heater Hose Removal

    Well, my intake finally decided to let go last night. The nipple for the heater hose broke off and spewed coolant all over my windshield as I was pulling out of a parking lot. I have the parts ordered, and will be driving my fox body for a few days. My question is ...How in the world do you...

    Installing urethane sway bar bushings

    I'm getting ready to install some urethane front sway bar and end link bushings on my '02 GT. Should I support the car on jack stands, or should I use ramps? The Maximum Motorsports installation instructions say to tighten the end link nuts when the car is on the ground to avoid preloading the...

    Throttle Cable Mod

    I just did the throttle cable mod, and am thrilled with the improvement in throttle response. I no longer have to bury my foot into the mat to get the car moving. I hate to say it, but this simple mod made a bigger seat of the pants improvement than anything else I've done to it. Of course it...

    Gauge Trim Rings

    I'm shopping for a set of trim rings for my gauges. I have found them at 3 different places, and I'm wondering if they are all the same product. American Muscle has them for $35, but there are a lot of complaints of poor fitment and difficult installation. Mustang Chrome Gauge Bezels, Gauge...

    Creaking brake calipers

    I recently replaced my front pads (Hawk HPS), rotors, and all brake hardware including slide pins. I flushed the fluid front and back. I bled all the calipers, and the master cylinder. I used brake quiet on the back of the pads, and greased the heck out of the slide pins, and the contact points...

    Tire size question

    I'm looking at buying a set of Nitto 555's for my 02 GT. The wheels are the stock Bullitts, and I'm running 373 gears. I want to step up from the stock 245 width to 255. I'm leaning towards 255/45/17 because I think the 255/40/17 would look too short. My question is, will the difference in tire...

    Trouble with COP hold down bolt

    I changed my plugs about a month ago, and everything went well. This weekend I pulled the COPS and checked the torque on the plugs. They were all still tight. Everything went well until I got to the passenger side rear COP. I cant get the hold down bolt out. It just spins, and the insert in the...

    Hawk HPS pads too thick?

    I installed new front rotors and Hawk HPS pads. The pads are so thick I had to grind down the little posts on the back about halfway just to get the calipers to go over them. They are so tight now the pads are gripping the rotors. I did a Google search, and it seems like quite a few people are...

    My driver side mirror is loose in the housing and vibrates so bad I can't hardly see out of it sometimes. It's the actual mirror part that shakes. Has anyone else had this problem? What is the fix for it?

    Has anyone painted the running horse on the steering wheel?

    I saw in a thread where a guy used a metalic sharpie to color his horse and Mustang script on the dash. I was wondering if anyone has used a different method, and how it turned out. Pics would be great.

    Placement of engine bay decals for an '89

    Does anyone have a picture that shows the factory placement of the decals in the engine bay of an 89 5.0? I know about the one on the coil cover, and the airbox. I'm mainly concerned with the ones in front of the radiator.
