    Who sells a shim kit for the T5 Bearing Retainer?

    I'm putting in a new clutch and I decided to upgrade to a steel throwout bearing retainer while I am in there. I bought the Ford Racing M-7050-A part from Summit. It came with a seal already pressed in, but no shims. I called Summit and the only shims they have for it are part of the T5...

    Losing all gauges over bumps

    Subject pretty much says it all. It appears that my entire gauge cluster (minus speedo) drops out when I hit a bump. The needles jump back to their normal position really fast, so it's hard to tell if every gauge is actually falling out. Even my blinking air bag light stops blinking. Where...

    new cobra 31 spline diff - do I soak clutches?

    I have my rear end gutted and ready for assembly. I bought the Ford Racing 31 spline diff and US Alloy 31 spline axles. Do I need to disassemble the carrier and soak the clutches? The carrier is obviously already assembled and I'd like to not have to mess with the S-spring if I don't have to...

    Is this a open diff or limited slip? (pics)

    Help. I feel like an idiot. I purchased 31 spline hardened axles and this diff - which I was told was a limited slip diff out of an explorer. Once I got it home and looked at all the pieces I found no S spring and no clutches. This is my first time doing rear end work, so I apologize for...

    1/4 MPH vs. Air Temp

    First off, I don't make it to the track very often. It's been once a year for the past three years. Last year, after my engine was built and dynoed (see sig), I was trapping 106.5 MPH in the spring (65F outside). My 60' times were horrid b/c I had a stock suspension. I was also breaking...

    Finally got some decent pics of it all back together

    I've been driving this for the past few weeks, but I never took any good pictures of it. These pictures still aren't the greatest, but atleast I have something to show off my work... And a picture from a week ago when I had the black rims on it...

    Stainless Steel Brake Lines - alternate to MM?

    Maximum Motorsport wants $80 for the front brake lines and another $45 for the rear line to the axle. I found these on Summit's website and wondered if anyone has used them: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=EAR%2D28B040ERL&view=32&N=700+4294908331+4294908282+4294924927...

    Anyone on here w/ a red 89 notch in WV?

    If so, I was the idiot in the minivan pacing you for about ten miles near the toll on 77. I'm traveling for work right now (company vehicle). The car is really sharp. Well done. Made me wish I had mine out!

    Oil Pan Gasket Change - Prime Oil Pump?

    I'll be attempting this with the engine still in the car. All I'm doing is dropping the pan far enough to snake in a new gasket. In my searches on this board, I found a couple posts where jichker has copy and pasted his how-to, and he states its necessary to prime the oil pump after this job...

    Hey look - another progress thread!

    Since it seems like everyone has a winter project going with a thread documenting it, I figured I would join in. Some of you might remember that last winter I smoothed the engine bay and painted the front clip. Well, this winter I'm painting the rest of the car. It's a rust free car, but it...

    What color vac line is from intake to cluster under glovebox?

    There is a junction point under the glovebox of my '92 which has red, white, blue, and black colored vacuum lines. What line is coming from the intake? During my hide everything and delete heat and a/c last winter, I cut the line going through the firewall, and now I have no vacuum going...

    Roof line question (w/ pic)

    Doing more body work this winter and I have a question about the edge of the roof on hatchbacks, right above where the quarter window and drip moldings come together. I haven't done any body work at this point, but after I got it in primer, I noticed a slight bulge - and it's the same on both...

    How loud are your aftermarket control arms?

    I have Pro 3i lowers with spherical bearings at one end (they mimic the MM design), and Ford Racing uppers. New bushing in the rear axle. Welded torque boxes. B-springs. At low speeds, especially stop, go, reverse maneuvers, I get a light thunk/clunk sound. I can't weld, so I payed to...

    New life to some old Pony rims (pics)

    I bought a used set of these at the beginning of summer for $200 with plans to put drag radials on two and sell the other two. Then I got on this black rim/polished lip kick and decided to try it out. Two of the tires they came with have about 60% tread and were 215's - so they made good...

    M/T Drag Radial tire pressure?

    I'm finally buying a pair tonight and wondering what tire pressure everyone runs - both track and street. These are 255/50/R16's going on pony rims. Thanks!

    Rear Control Arms - adjusting wheel position in well (fwd-aft)

    I've been reading through posts about different upper/lower control arm setups, but I can't find the answer to this question: "Adjustable" lower control arms adjust the ride height, correct? I was wondering if any company has a control arm that will allow me to center the wheel in the wheel...

    Tune complete and Dyno results inside...

    Hey guys - combo is in my sig. I had a tune done Thursday night - the difference is incredible. No more surging idle, no more rough cold starts - driveability increased 10x. If anyone is on the fence about a tune, I'd recommend it. If you're in Northeast Ohio I'd also recommend Akron...

    Finally all painted (finished pics, DUW)

    Well, I'll let the pics do the talking this time. All body and paint work was done by me in the garage where it sits. If anyone remembers from a previous post, I also did an HCI and engine bay cleanup this winter too. Tuesday I get it dyno tuned and have lowering springs put on...
