    Troubleshooting help needed. 89 LX won't run, driver side headers cold.

    Ok, I'm posting this for my younger brother. He owns an 89 LX that he just recently replaced the head gaskets on. The car has been put back together but we're still running into some problems. Our first problem is that when we attempted to start the car, it was running extremely rough and...

    Electrical problem

    Ok, here is the situation. Right before the broken water pump bolt fiasco, my car had developed a weird electrical problem. What would happen is that whenever you would turn on the blower, headlights or press on the brakes, the oil pressure and temperature gauges would start to read higher while...

    Tell me about this Quarter Horse tuner

    So I've been slowly getting back into the Mustang game here lately, and it appears that in my time away, this Quarter Horse thing popped up on the scene. Can anyone give me a breakdown (in layman's terms) how this stacks up to the old Tweecer, which I have been considering for some time now...

    Spring isolators...to use or not to use? Pros? Cons?

    (Disclaimer: I ran a search but came up basically empty handed and didn't feel like digging through the thousands of spring threads for bits and pieces of info) I'm starting to get back into modding the Mustang, and one of the first things I want to do is lower it with either some H&R...

    Charging/electrical issue. Any ideas?

    Well, it looks like I've been bitten by the electrical demons. I'll explain what's been happening and then maybe someone here can tell me where to start. I've been letting my younger brother drive the car lately since he's about ready to graduate high school. Just recently he gave the car a...

    Worst products you ever used.

    Since we got all these threads talking about good products, lets talk about what DOESN'T work. I'll go first. Black Magic Interior Dressing - Can you say g-r-e-a-s-y? You'd be better off smearing cooking oil all over your interior, and it'd probably smell better too. This stuff was pure crap...

    Stang projects for this year

    So now that most of our northern brethren are coming out of winter and getting back on the road, I thought it'd be a good time to get a thread going to discuss what we'd like to get done to the stangs this summer. Personally, I want to install some subframes, UCA/LCA with some Steeda Sport...

    Terminator suspension kits?

    I'm a few months away from starting a new career, and with that I'd like to get me a Sonic Blue Cobra coupe. I want to upgrade the suspension when I get the car, and I'd prefer to get a "kit" rather than buying a bunch of individual pieces. What would everyone recommend, seeing as how the...

    Woohoo! This should make things easier!

    Today we got news that we will have to be moving out of our house because the landlord was transfered back to Clearwater and will have to move back into the house. The timing kinda sucks, but that is how the world goes. Now for the car related part... I bought my car in June 2004 when I...
