    Will this work on our cars?

    I need to replace my noisy smog pump! I looked on 50resto and they have the one that fits the fox body cars, and it's fairly inexpensive. Will this work on my 95 GT? http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=LRS-9486B%20%20%20%20%20%201&comp=LRS

    no smog pump + stock H pipe = problems?

    Long story short, my smog pump is squealing and I want to bypass it with a short belt to get rid of the noise. I would rather do this than replace it because I have to pass emmissions later this year. After I pass emissions this time all that crap is coming off, offroad stuff going on, etc...

    Clutch concerns

    So I put a ford motorsport HD clutch in my car over the summer. I was happy with the way it felt when I put it in. Earlier tonight, I was driving a buddies car, a 2002 GT, and the clutch very springy compared to mine. When I got back in my car, my clutch felt horrible. It was very spongy...

    thinking about bypassing my smog pump......

    My smog pump is making a squealing noise which is getting to be very annoying, so I am thinking about running a short belt and bypassing it. I was advised not to do this because it would cause the cats to get very hot and could possibly cause problems, like destroying the cats and/or O2 sensors...

    How to adjust parking brake?

    My parking brake will hold the car, but I have to pull the handle up waaayyyy farther than it should have to be pulled (about a 60* angle). I've looked under the car, the braket near the driveshaft looks like it's in good shape and all the cable are attached and where they should be. There...

    Good lowering spring/shock combos

    Well I just put my 17" 98 cobra wheels on and they look great. Only problem is now my car looks like it's on stilts! I wasn't planning on dropping it for a while, but it needs it bad so looks like I'll be dropping it as soon as I get a couple more paychecks. Anyway, I'm looking for decently...

    Question about stock intake manifolds

    I need to know if the stock lower intake for a SN95 is the same as the fox. I know the upper is different but what about the lower? The reason I ask is I'm thinking about picking up a used lower for dirt cheap and getting it ported. Only thing is, it' off a fox. Will it work?

    How much do wheels way?

    How much do wheels weigh? Anyone know how much stock wheels on a 95 GT (the 5 spoke ones) weigh? How about the weight of stock 98 cobra wheels? The reason I ask is because I'm probably getting some 98 cobra wheels but I dont want them if they're heavier than stock.
