    What color should I paint my car?

    My car will be going in for paint in the next few days or so. I just ordered black 17" wheels along with a carbon fiber hood that will remain unpainted. Call it rice or whatever you want but that's not what this thread is about. I want your opinions on what will look best with these black...

    How do I paint my door jambs/trunk/etc?

    I'm getting my car repainted but to save some cash and to ensure quality I'm going to do the door jambs, trunk, and other little inside areas myself. I want them to be flat black. What do I need to do as far as prep? Which paint should I use? What's the deal here, what's the score, what's next?

    Helmets?

    Looks like Santa might be bringing me a racing helmet. What brand do you guys prefer? Are any superior to others? I'm looking in the $200 dollar range, preferably full faced(unless open faced is better?). I want the best protection I can get within the budget.

    I want my front end to lift on launch.

    As the title says, I want to be able to lift the front tires when I launch. I've got the power, what's the cheapest way to get it to the ground? I'm thinking 90/10's, 3.73's, ET Streets, and some LCA's.

    X-pipe versus H-pipe?

    Tonight I'll be ordering either an X-pipe or an H-pipe. I'm looking at the offroad ones that Flowtech makes. I think I'm the only person with a 347 stroker and stock(that's right, all 4 cats) exhaust. Will the X-pipe make more power to justify it being $70 more? People say X-pipes sound more...

    Tweecer help needed ASAP!

    Hey guys I'm running a twEECer with a J4J1 tune on my 94 GT. I tried to tune the stock computer but just could not get it to idle correctly. Well, the j4j1 tune idles great, but at about 4000 RPM the car stutters and misses. Fuel pressure also drops from around 39 to almost 32. This didn't...

    Those with custom exhaust pipes...

    I'm about to buy some Dynomax Bullet race mufflers and have them installed along with 2.5" piping. How much would an average exhaust shop charge for this kind of work? How much have you guys paid? Is it cheaper just to buy a cat-back kit that's already put together, like Flowmasters or...

    Good shop/mechanic in Phoenix area?

    Guys I need to find a good, reputable shop or mechanic in the Phoenix area. Preferably close to Tempe. My car has no oil pressure and I'm fearing the worst. I really hope my engine is alright but I can't do any work to it in the parking garage of my dorm. Hopefully it's just a clogged oil...

    Oil problem, please help!!!

    I was driving on the freeway this evening and all of a sudden my stock oil gauge dropped to the L (which is basically ZERO). I drove the car for probably another 10 miles because I was picking up my mom from the airport and a few other things. The car ran fine during this period. A few hours...

    Installing the Fluidyne tonight, few Q's

    I decided to buy a Fluidyne radiator after researching the work it would take to make a Summit universal radiator fit. I decided that since I'm going to be doing this in a parking garage I wanted something that would drop right in. Also, the Fluidyne seemed to get generally great reviews here...

    Summit radiators?

    I'm really thinking about buying a Summit radiator to fix my overheating problems. How is the fit and quality of these? Anyone know the specific part number I need? I also REALLY need to know - is it a DIRECT drop in, or will I have to do any major work to get it to fit? What SPECIFICALLY is...

    Drove my new 347 stroker 1500 miles!

    Well I just drove from Seattle to Phoenix over the weekend in my 94 Mustang. I've spent over 6 months building the 347 stroker that's in it. To those who say that 347's burn oil, you're wrong! It ran really well, didn't burn a drop of oil. Too well actually... I got a speeding ticket in...

    Pictures of 94-95's with 15" wheels?

    I'm considering ordering a set of 15x8 wheels for the back with ET Streets, and some 15x7 wheels up front with just normal radials on them. I'm looking at Weld Draglites, Eagle 055 and 058, or anything similar to those. If anyone could post some pictures of their cars with these style wheels I...

    Fuel line help!

    I just put a 190 lph fuel pump in to support my 30 lbs. injectors. I know I need to run new fuel lines from the tank to the engine bay. Anyone know the length of the line needed to do this? My dad was suggesting that we use the old delivery line as the new return line, would this work out...

    Valve cover help

    I'm having trouble finding valve covers that will work for my setup. I have Trick Flow 1.7 roller rockers and a Trick Flow Track Heat intake manifold, as well as Trick Flow High Port heads. The engine is being assembled out of the car right now, so I have plenty of room to try things out...

    Throttle Body Selection

    I'm ordering a throttle body for my 347 stroker right now. It has a Trick Flow Track Heat intake manifold, which is listed as having a 75mm throttle body inlet. Should I go with a 75mm throttle body to match, or is that too big? Would a 70mm result in more power? Also, I plan on buying an...
