    I want a Mustang

    Hey I'm looking to get a Mustang after I sold my vert. I'm looking at this 1991 LX right now and need some advice. The ad says "built for blower/turbo/n2o. 306, TFS heads, FCam, 76MM Mass Air, 24-lb injectors, etc. $8500." Does this sound like a reliable setup? I'm looking for a daily driver and...

    Insurance

    Hey guys, I currently own a Fox and want to move on to something more comfortable for a commuter car. I love Stangs so I'm most likely going to get an 01-04 GT and I'm willing to pay up to $18,000 for one. I'm wondering what you guys are paying for insurance. Im asking because im only 20 years...

    binding tie rods

    Ever since I lowered my car with the Eibach Pro-Kit, my tie rods have been binding and I am afraid that they are going to break off or something. Would offset rack bushings help with this? I heard they will but I am not sure. I want to know what route to take in fixing this and it seems as...

    Weird Problem

    So I am driving my AOD and suddenly the pedal feels softer than it usually is (I can get the pedal to the floor much more easily). Then, when I am in first and floor it, it seems to accelerate like it usually does (kinda bucks) but gives up at 2500 rpm and then shifts into second. There are no...

    How are ball joints affected when vehicle is lowered?

    I recently lowered my vert with Pro-kit springs (1.2 inch drop at the front). At the same time, I installed a new parts store tie rod end on the driver's side. After everything was installed, I noticed a popping/clunking sound when I release pressure off the brake while turning. My ball...

    Clunking sound

    I just installed an Eibach Pro-kit spring and KYB strut on the driver's side of the car. I have only ONE corner done. In the process, I installed urethane spring isolators and replaced wheel bearings. When I drive around, I can sometimes hear a clunk. As I am driving... I brake, start to...

    I am in trouble

    I am trying to install my eibach pro-kit springs and I can not get them in for the life of me... I tried using an external and internal compressor, but I can't get them to work. The internal's shaft goes up too high, and I don't have clearance for the external compressor. I tried prying it in...

    wheel bearings

    I am replacing the bearings on my car because I hear a little "squeeky" sound in the front (it might be my brakes thought). When I take the castlenut off, there is a bolt that needs to be removed. I don't have a wrench that large, the largest I have is 1 1/16, but that wont fit. Does anyone...

    Spring Install

    I am getting ready to install my Eibach springs and have a few questions. I have heard of a method for removing the springs, but just want to make sure that it will work. I was thinking about putting the car up on jack stands, supporting the a-arm with a floor jack, removing the strut, and...

    Stock Springs

    I was looking at my stock springs and there is a black tube in them, which seems like it is made of plastic. I am wondering whether I will need to reinstall them with my Eibach Pro-Kit. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I will have to take a picture. Thanks for the help in advance.

    Very slight hesitation

    Here is the story... My car vibrates like many 5.0s that I have seen. Well one day I decide to change out the plugs to Autolite 25s. After that, it seemed to run better (not as much vibration). But now, after about 3 weeks, it seems to have that vibration again. It also hesitates a little...

    Springs

    Well the right side of my car is starting to sag a little bit... so im going to get some new springs. I checked mustangsunlimited and 50resto, but they only offer lowering springs. I definitely would not mind to have a lower car, but I do not want to make the poor ride quality even worse...

    Suspension

    I am really getting sick of the ride quality of my car. The suspension doesn't really seem to absorb anything in the road... you can see the rear-view mirror and side-mirrors shake. The worst part is when I hit a pothole or even a crack. It doesn't seem to like abrupt changes in the road, but...

    Did I get screwed? (tie rods)

    I have included a picture of the tie rods on my car. I had these replaced by a shop, but it seems like they only replaced one... the other one looks stock to me. Good Bad Am I right? Thanks for the help, I dont want to go accuse anyone of anything before I know what I'm talking about.

    Steering wheel vibe

    When driving, I get a lot of "road feel" in the steering wheel. When I go over a bump, I can feel the wheel shake a little bit... almost like it's loose or something is broken, thus allowing the movement to annoy me. I recently installed outer tie rods and ball joints and the suspension is...

    Top problem

    Well I just finished fixing all the codes, mostly EGR related, thanks to everyone that helped! I took a look at my car and the top is not even. It seems like the pistons (or whatever you call them) that push the frame up, do not go up even. you can see what I am talking about in this picture...

    Question about pulling code

    When I did the KOEO test, I got code 22. With the engine running, I got 94, 33, and 44. I then ran KOEO again and just got 22. Shouldn't all the codes appear on the KOEO test? Shouldn't code 22 atleast appear on the engine running test?

    MAP vacuum

    I just realized that there is no vacuum hooked up to the MAP sensor. I know the vacuum comes somewhere from the manifold, but have no idea as to where. I cant seem to find a loose wire anywhere near the MAP. If I am missing the wire, what size do I need? Thanks for the help in advance.
