    Anyone ever change e-brake cables?

    I searched, but found nothing. I need to get my e-brake to work in order to pass inspection. It does absolutely NOTHING to hold the car or slow it down when moving. Last weekend I changed the rear calipers because I noticed they were nearly seized when I changed the pads last year, but it...

    Messed-up DFR500 wheels

    Well, long story short, I had to move for a new job in January, and the car sat outside for 2 months before I could get an underground parking. There must've been some road salt on my wheels while it sat there, and now the machined lip on both rear wheels looks like crap! I tried mother's...

    Air bag code 84

    Hey guys, I tried a search, but didn't find the answer. Anyone know how to clear airbag codes? Without resorting to just taking-out the dash bulb :D I had a hard code 44 showing one time (indicating right front crash sensor bad connection) but then it switched to code 84 after about 1 week...

    FINALLY got a winter "beater"

    Well, not exactly, but its a new DD for me. I know I know.... I once thought I'd be the last guy to ever own any japanese-made vehicular object, but for some reason I really liked this one since it came-out in 2003, and now I own one. All opinions aside, the fact remains that this thing seems to...

    Clunking sound under the hood???

    Hey guys, This just started about a week ago, when I'm drving slowly in a parking lot for example, I hear this annoying clunking sound but it seems like its coming from under the hood, not the suspension, almost like something hitting the firewall or K-member. So I was thinking maybe the motor...

    This is why you DON"T buy EL headers **pics**

    Well the time has finally come today to say good riddens to my old Mac EL headers. Those who know me well enough know that I'm always ranting about how much of a PITA equal-lengths are in general. Well here's a pictoral guide as to exactly why you shouldn't get them: 1: Your spark plug wire...

    Squeeky door hinges

    Once about every two weeks I have to re-lube my door hinges because they'll make an awful squeek when I open the doors. They don't look rusty or anything, is there a particular type of grease I should use on these that'll last more than 2 weeks? I'm just using an all-purpose lube on them now...

    Its christams all over again **pics**

    Well I decided to go on a shopping spree and get a whole bunch of things for the 'stang. I'm so damn happy I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight! The parts: - 17x9" and 17x10.5" FR500's in Anthrocite (These are the sexiest things I ever laid eyes on) - 315/35r17's Sumitomo's for the...

    What grease for polyurethane bushings?

    Hey guys, I'm about to install my MM LCA's this weekend, and MM supplies a packet of clear-looking grease to put on the polyurethane bushings for the chassis side. What type of grease do you guys use in your grease guns to re-pack them later on via the grease nipple that comes with the arms? I...

    I was bored and came accross a fugly 'stang on mustangworld.com and wondered if a thread like this was ever done before. In any case, I'll start: :nonono:

    Jacking front end

    Alright guys, I realise this may be a retarded noob question, but here goes nothing... How do you guys jack both sides of the front with a floor jack to put it on axle stands? Do you lift the car by the center of the front part of the K-member? I have an aluminum floor jack (minimum height...

    Guero?

    I was reading-up on another thread where someone had mentionned Guero... Got me thinking... I don't think we've heard from our fellow mexican gun slinger for a while now. Did he sell the 'stang or something?

    shock install on the ground???

    This might be a dumb question but here goes nothing... I'm about to swap my rear shocks, and I'm able to loosen the bottom shock bolts without jacking the car up. Is there any problem with taking the shocks off this way with the car sitting on the ground? Has anyone ever done it this way? In...

    Hydroboost feasable on our cars?

    I was out checking out an '03 Mach 1 yesterday with a buddy who is thinking of buying it. Upon looking under the hood, I couldn't help but like the fact that the newer 'stangs use a hydroboost instead of a vaccum brake booster. I'm not sure if this topic has come up before but has anyone ever...

    2006 Atlantic Nationals pics (big 56K warning)

    well, I'm back from my road trip to the east coast, where I spent this past saturday at the Atlantic Nationals in Moncton, NB. There were over 1500 cars at the show, and the good news is only about 6 or 7 of those were rice, of both the import and domestic varieties. It was all about american...

    Spring confusion

    Does anyone know if Intrax springs were yellow in previous years? The reason I ask is the previous owner told me the car has Intrax springs on it which are 2" drop front and back. But the Intrax ones are purple, and the ones on my car are yellow. The only yellow ones I can seem to find are the...

    Swapping alternator pulleys

    This might be a noob question, but I searched and found no answer. I am wondering if anyone knows off hand what size socket to get to remove the alternator pulley nut. I am thinking its around 7/8", but I'd like to know for sure to avoid the trial and error method when I buy the socket...
