    Buy a T-Top car even though the other options aren't ideal?

    I haven't posted in the section in quite a while. I had an 87 Hatch and an 88 notch (if i can find some pics i'll post em) before getting into a couple different new edge rides. But I've always wanted a t-top foxbody and I saw one for craigslist that is very local. Here's the craigslist...

    Anyone ever swap just mufflers?

    I just bought another mustang (pics to follow in another thread once it's detailed and some hideous decals are removed) and I don't really care for the exhaust. It has the SLP LM2 on it now with the stock mid-pipe. My previous cars always had Mac exhaust, which I loved. But buying a new...

    Favorite year: 99-00 or 01-04?

    Hey guys, I'm going to be back in the market for a mustang again soon and I'm trying to decide which year to focus on. Obvious differences would be the body pieces, cd changer, transmission etc. Budget will probably be between 7-10K depending on my exact finances in a month or so...

    Mongoose finally on, Pics

    Well it was quite a process to get this thing on. Between having to fix a brass insert in my intake, spending too much time figuring out vortech's directions, and having to grind a little bit off the idle pulley to keep it off the intake, it was an adventure. Finally got everything set-up last...

    42's/MAF/Chip but no blower?

    Ok so I have some time this weekend and I have the part of the mongoose kit that comes from MPH. I'm wondering if I can install the injectors, MAF, and chip and still drive the car around. I don't have the vortech stuff yet, but I figured I might as well get started. My reasoning is that the...

    Need a new ABS Harness-Part #?

    Hey guys, When i did my S/S/S last spring, i noticed that the bracket that holds the ABS harness in place was bent pretty good, though i have no idea how it happened. I bent it back a little bit and figured that would be good. Shortly after that, my abs light came on but i never got around...

    Picked up my rims today, couple teaser pics

    Decided to go with 18's and i found a set of used saleen 18x9 and 18x10 in the hyperblack finish. Unfortunetly he had drag radials on the rears so i only bought the front tires. Fronts are BFG KDW's 275/35/18's. Unfortunetly, i can't seem to find a set of 295's in the same tire for the back, so...

I found a good deal on an OEM set near me and its really tempting to just pick them up. The pics in the other thread with the silver car...
