    lug nuts to narrow

    I noticed after finally bleeding my brakes that the lug nuts are really wearing on the wheel. When I tighten the lug nuts some of them cause metal shavings to come off the wheel. The holes where the studs come through is just barely smaller then the diameter of the lug nut. Is this normal for...

    Opinions please!

    Im ready to buy a mustang only have 3-5k to spend. I would prefer a car with a lot of the maintenance already done and some decent power. I emailed the owner and he said it went 12.8 @ 110mph on slicks. Does this seem like a good buy if i can get him down closer to 4k. Does that ET seem...

    Tire Questions

    Hey, I think I finally decided to get the Chrome 18inch Saleens from American Muscle. Are the Sumitomo that AM has good? I would rather get BFG's. Is it better to buy the wheels and tires in one package or buy the tires separately? I think I want the 285/35/18 in back and 255's in the...

    So I bought a mustang three weeks ago and just now found my camera cord, so I could upload some pics. It is a 2003 GT 5spd. I wanted a Mach 1 but determined they were out of my price range. This is my 3rd "New Edge" Stang. This one has the least amount of miles, of any of the others (23k)...

    Clutch pedal hard to push in

    I just got a 03 GT and noticed that the clutch is hard to push in. Ive owned a 99 and a 01 in the past and neither felt this stiff. The car only has 23k on it and my mom actually has a 03, and her clutch is not as stiff to push in. Is there something that needs to be lubricated or is it...

    Help Deciding on midpipe

    I need to know what will sound better with my loudmouth :hail2: exhaust. I am deciding to go with a catted mid pipe to pass emissions. Will the Magnaflow catted X, the MRT catted H, Catted Prochamber, or something else sound the best. Most of these cost an arm and a leg so i want it to be...
