    Which bolts to pull the calipers for pad change?

    i know this seems dumb but i went to change my pads and don't know which bolts to pull. I pulled out the two obvious ones i would normally pull doing a brake job but the calipers won't move. Do i have to take off the two big bolts holding the entire caliper assembly on or just the outer part...

    Stupid but..how many quarts on an oil change??

    Did your battery die on you every few days from the system draw as well while in storage? Drove me nuts.

    Cleaning K&N Filter

    Thank you but i would think that immersing the entire filter underwater would be a bad idea. This would allow dirt and debris to flow freely through the water and accumulate on the clean side of the filter, no?

    Stupid but..how many quarts on an oil change??

    Yes, i ran it for like 2 minutes, then like 5, then i drove it to work yesterday (40MI). This morning it is only showing like 1/16" over full so i figure that is OK. Thanks a lot you guys, all of you are always so helpful.

    Stupid but..how many quarts on an oil change??

    Thanks a lot. Weird thing is i let her drain till not a drop came out, put some in the filter, and the balance of 6 quarts in the pan. Yet it still reads higher than full. Should i drain some? I don't get it. Thanks

    Stupid but..how many quarts on an oil change??

    I know this sounds stupid but how many quarts should my 06 4.6 take on a change? I put 5 in her and she read low so i put in a 6th but now it seems overfull. Do i need to bleed any? Thanks!:lol:

    Cleaning K&N Filter

    Thanks, if it has debris in it do you just use a soft brush or something to get it all out? I am feeling like buying a new filter each time is a lot easier.

    Cleaning K&N Filter

    The instructions say the filter should be pink after you are done cleaning it, mine is not. Has anyone here done this and was theirs actually pink or just a dingy pink when done?:shrug: Thank you.

    SLP's Loudmouth Exhaust

    +2 Thanks again man for the idea on another thread, cost me like $65 without tips and i think they sound like LM pipes.:nice: It has definite drone though and an almost trailer park/monster truck sound, but when you step on it the sound is wonderful, except it attracts cops i have found...

    Ford sells mustang rights to TOYOTA

    Well when i bought mine about 8 months ago there was nothing whatsoever available in regard to a discount on the GT, apparently that has changed. In fact even here in MI there were not so many of them available. I was unable to find the combination of options that i wanted and had to settle...

    07 Mustang V6 vs 07 Civic Si

    I have read that the V6 has forged internals so it can be pushed quite a bit without as much danger as the 4.6L-V8 (weigh in guys if my memory is clouded). So i would look at what you can gather from forced induction or a turbo system on the V6. Seems like i remember a guy with a 6 on a thread...

    Ford sells mustang rights to TOYOTA

    Insanity Agreed...... Think of the obvious reasons why it would NEVER happen: 1. Toyota would have to pay Ford way too much to get a name that their customers still associate with junk. 2. Supra............. 3. The Mustang is the only car Ford is able to move and not offer rebates...

    Took off my Mufflers...

    I was dying for a sound increase before i get my LTs on so i pulled my muffs a while back and i love it too (not to mention a small power and 1mpg mileage increase). I got the idea from a post about LM pipes where someone did not want to pay for the pipes when no pipes is almost the same. The...

I cant count the times i have lit the tires hitting second and i have cooked 1st and 2nd through donuts many many times with no problems. With stock tune it is hard to get...

    Functional Parts vs. Flare

    You are right, sometimes the choice of words i use offends people. Although i think to be honest people have become a bit oversensitive when it comes to politically correct language, my gay friends find it amusing when i use the term ultra gay, they say stupid things i do are ultra bland and i...

    Functional Parts vs. Flare

    The painfully obvious point i attempted to make for you was that i greatly dislike such parts and think they are silly. My reference to the sexual orientation of such parts was meant as comedy and not be taken literally (i thought that was obvious, even if was not funny Dan Quayle would likely...

    Ever put your pony in a stable?

    I cannot tell where you live now but make sure you take temperature and humidity into consideration as well. When storing my boat for the winter i found cold weather had a negative effect on a variety of different on-board components (leather, fit and finish). I always used heated storage to...
