    The time has come... I gotta sell her.

    I haven't been around here much lately, as i've been extremely busy with school and work. But I recently bought a new truck. This means i've got to sell the fox. I've had an awesome 3 1/2 years with her and all you guys have taught me a whole hell of a lot about mustangs. I haven't lost...

    Probs with Mini Starter

    I put in a high torque mini starter about 3 weeks ago, and at first it was working fine. After about 2 weeks, and ever since, when I turn the ignition the engine just keeps turning over, and it takes like 10-15 seconds to start sometime. Usually it takes more than one try also. The weird part...

    Got myself a Cobra intake manifold, TB.. etc. Questions...

    I just got it all today. I picked up for $300: Cobra U/L intake, 70mm Ford throttle body, throttle cable and bracket, t-stat housing, egr, all bolts, new gaskets for the lower, stock fuel rails, and 1/2" heat spacer. Is that a pretty good deal? Where can I get just a new gasket for the upper...

    Running hot after putting on electric fan..

    I recently installed a 3.8L Taurus electric fan with a DCC unit, and at first it was running pretty cool. But occasionally the temp would rise up past 200*, and now sometimes it will get up past 200 within the first 2 minutes of turning on the car and driving? However, about half the time the...

    K&N Cleaning kit didn't work...

    So I used the K&N cleaning kit twice already, and my filter is still dark black, covered in dirt. I think it's time to order a new filter. I have the 9" K&N conical filter. I know these filters are like $50-$60 which sucks, but I need a new one. Does anyone know the cheapest place to get one?

    Cleaning C&L MAF sensor..

    Cleaning my IAC made a world of difference! No more rough idle/stalling after long sitting periods. But anyway, this makes me want to clean my MAF sensor. I've heard that rubbing alcohol is the best thing to use to clean it. How exactly do you do it? Apply it with a q-tip or will that hurt it? I...

    Coolant Bottle w/ Taurus fan

    I just installed a 3.8L Taurus fan in my stang, and the stock coolant tank won't fit. Where can I get a coolant tank that will fit? Do I need one from a Taurus?

    Question/opinions on Nittos

    I have had my heart set on buying some Nitto 555r DR's for quite some time now. But i recently discovered that the only sizes they make for a 15" wheel are 275/50 and 275/60. Now the problem is, these tires are recommended for wheels 7.5"-9.5" wide. My wheels are 15x7" Draglites. I know 7" is a...

    Delta Current Controller

    I ordered a Taurus 3.8L electric fan off ebay, and now I am about to order a DCC. Which controller should I order? 35 Ampere, or 60 Ampere? I will be running this fan with a 130 amp alternator.

    7" Drag Radials

    I've been planning on picking up a set of Nitto 555R's for my next set of tires for my 15x7 Welds. I was just checking out the size options for the tires, and the only choices i see are 275/60/15 and 275/50/15. Will these tires even fit on 7" rims? I will shoot myself if I have to get another...

    Taurus or Mark VIII Electric Fan

    I'm looking into getting an electric fan, and running it with a DCC (http://www.dccontrol.com/index.htm). I know the better (and cheaper) route is to pick up a Taurus 3.8L fan or a Mark VIII fan. I would much rather do this than spend $200 on a Flex-a-lite. So which is a better fan to go...

    Tune-up how to

    Hey guys. I've looked all over but I didn't find much information. I was wondering if there is some kind of guide or manual for doing a tune-up. I will be replacing the spark plugs, wires, cap/rotor, pcv valvle/screen/grommet, oil filter, and fuel filter. I don't have an owner's manual, so I am...

    Self-adjuster cable

    About a month ago I had some gears installed in my rear. While my wheels were off, i noticed that there is a cable in my brakes that is broken. I'm not sure exactly what the cable does, but my mechanic told me it is a cable for the self adjuster. Does that sound right? Anyway, it was gonna...

    Smog legal gears? What the...

    A few days ago I ordered a set of FMS 3.73's from DPM. But after I ordered the gears, I noticed this in the product description: "Not legal for sale or use on pollution-controlled motor vehicles." How could gears not be legal for use on pollution controlled vehicles? They have nothing to...

    Ring and Pinion installation kit

    I am about to purchase a set of FMS 3.73's from DPM for $139 and I need to know which installation kit I need to get. I'm thinking I need this one: http://www.buyfordracing.com/Shop_Cart/shopexd.asp?id=262 Is this the right one? It is $80 from DPM, and 50resto has it for $85. Then there is...

    Cleaning a K&N

    Ok I did a search but found nothing. I have one of those big red K&N filters hooked up to my C&L 76mm. Looking at the filter the other day, I noticed it's extremely dirty. I know this robs HP and kills gas mileage, so I would like to clean it. If I take it off and spray it down with an air...

    Clutch pedal stiffness

    Back when I still had my King cobra clutch, I added a new quadrant and adjustable cable (the cable was not by choice). After the installation of these parts, the clutch pedal became extremely stiff all the time. Just a couple weeks ago I replaced the king cobra with a spec stage 1. This made...

    Breaking in the spec stage 1

    Ok guys, i had my spec stage 1 clutch put in about a week ago, and since then i've put about 400 miles on it. Spec suggests 450 miles to break it in properly. Well i've been taking it easy for 400 miles, but still whenever I start off in first or reverse, or when I let the clutch pedal out...

    Spec Stage 1 clutch?

    Right now I have a King Cobra clutch, and it's on its way out. My plan is to order the spec stage 1 clutch. I've always heard good things about spec clutches and this one sounds like the right clutch for me. Would I be better off with the stage 1 or stage 2? As you can see, right now I'm not...
