    Got new Fluidyne 3-row radiator, water temperature gauge still the same. Normal?

    I just got a brand new Fluidyne 3-row radiator :) I definitely wanted to replace the stocker with plastic tanks (my friend's radiator cracked where the plastic tanks are). Though when I had it installed, I noticed my water temperature gauge is at the same position as when I had the stock...

    Spark Plug Recommendation for a 2001 GT

    It's just about time to change my plugs again. I have the "cheapy" $1.99 NGK spark plugs that seem to be durable with no problems. Are there any noticeable advantages to using a "premium" plug? I saw review on E3 spark plugs and they seem to be negative for the most part. Anyone have any...

    Brake pedal feel

    My brake pedals don't feel great anymore. It feels mushy and not as firm as when I first got my new brake kit. Would a brake fluid flush help?

    How long are Mustang exhaust tips?

    I have Magnaflow exhaust tips right now (since they came with my cutback set). I personally think they look terrible and I want to get rolled tips with a 15 degree angle cut. Since I have to get welded on (or screw on tips), how long are tips for the Mustang? Are they 12" or 14"? Anyone...

    Possible Engine Detonation? Please help.

    I hear this sound in which I thought it was my exhaust rattling. It sounds like metal vibrating a bit loudly and it's been going on for about more than 3 months. It just hit me yesterday that what if that sound I hear (in which I think is my exhaust rattling) is actually detonation? I...

    10W-30 Motor Oil okay to use (in California)?

    My dad has 5 quarts of Mobil 1 10W-30 oil lying around the house. The car that it was meant to be put in died so I want to use up his oil. I know 10W-30 is thicker than the recommended 5W grade but since I live in California (where it's never cold), would using the slightly thicker viscosity...

    Steering wheel vibration when braking

    When I press on the brakes, my steering wheel begins to shake. I thought my rotors could be warped but I just got my 2-piece rotors like 3 months ago. My installer told me that it's the front control arms because my 4 piston brakes are doing something to make them flex (I forgot what he...

    Pictures of custom brake job (SSBC 4 piston + Baer 2 piece rotors) and my new car

    My SSBC rotors warped (so soon too!) so I got new Baer Eradispeed Plus 2 piece rotors. The only thing was that SSBC was "smart" (or stupid) enough to re-engineer the system from Cobra 13" so the Baers wouldn't fit. I had to get spacers produced and shave the rotor a bit to make it fit the SSBC...

    Any mods that improve ride quality?

    I first had the H&R Super Sport springs. I loved the aggressive and low stance but the ride quality sucked like crap. I then changed to the Eibach Pro Kit and the ride quality is still craptacular. I have Bilsteins for my dampers. Do any of you know any mods that will improve ride...

    I already set up a 4 piston front kit but does anyone know where I can purchase a 2 or 4 piston fixed (not floating) brake kit for the rear?

    Help! Car squeaks like crazy!

    Okay, this problem started occuring about 2 days ago. As I drive, my car is squeaking (sounds like a high-pitched, metal sound)! The squeaking sounds like when you get a new set of brake pads and rotors and they'll "squeak" for awhile then disappear. Everytime I step on the gas to go, the...

    Can someone school me on what a new diff will provide me (benefits)?

    I'm getting new Ford Racing gears installed on my car to replace the Motive ones that whine. My installer also recommended replacing the diff (i.e. Detroit Locker, Auborn Differential, etc.) and he said that I will gain traction to both wheels at once. I don't quite know what that means, can...

    Massive amounts of brake dust with new SSBC 4 piston kit. Normal?

    I have massive amounts of brake dust with my new 4 piston SSBC Force 10 kit. In just 9 miles worth of driving, I get the same amount of dust I do in 3 weeks with the old Cobra 2 piston kit. Is this normal for 4 piston kits or is it just the pads? SSBC said they included Hawk pads with my...

    Does anyone have pictures of Mustangs with 4 and/or 6 piston brake kits?

    I'm looking for pictures of your (or someone else's) Mustang with 4 and/or 6 piston brake kits. I'm looking to see which one I would ultimately prefer in areas of looks, cost, and practicalities. Thanks guys!
