    Little Gs3 Video Of My Last Day With Magnapacks.

    Switched to SLP Powerflo's. Took this before a lunch break and a couple friends and myself ripped into it to start the install. The audio will have plenty of wind noise since I just threw my phone into the cup holder. Lol.

    Alternator whine and battery flashing..

    Well my 163k mile Vortech Mustang just has a little problem. Took a turn a little spirited today and noticed the battery light come on and flash a few times before going off. Now alternator has a whine that increases with engine speed. I ordered a 160 amp off of eBay. Is the car okay for the 10...

    Trying to find some recommendations for replacement radiators

    Looking at taking my car for some open track events and I'm becoming a little concerned about my cooling system failing while on the track. I have no issues currently with the OEM radiator leaking, but haven't had a coolant flush in forever, although it has been drained several times (cracked...

    ABS Module Fun!

    I hate being so sarcastic. Well, the dreaded on and off ABS has hit my car. Will come on at various times during my commute, stay on for several miles and go off while the car is still "hot". I have discovered the other threads and evolution311's YouTube video. My car is throwing a C1266 and...

    Anybody Here Use Torque Pro On Their Phone?

    I recently came across a couple guys using it to monitor IAT's and other things in lieu of having 40,000 gauges. I bought the app $5 and a $25 bluetooth OBD2 adapter. It can read codes as well and link with your navigation apps to plan out routes and so forth. I can view things like instant...

    Yay! Weird Idle Problems!

    First of all I have a stock motor with a non intercooled Vortech setup in a 156k mile untouched motor. My problem: Strange higher idle, although it will occasionally idle down to normal (750)ish rpms. Replaced IAC with an extra one I had laying around (brand new part store closeout). And it...

    Another Iac Thread...

    Yes, another one. Sort of. Well, I believe my IAC is sticking, it usually gives me a high idle and I've gone and checked for vacuum leaks finding nothing. It is a part store brand that is out of warranty, so I am thinking it is going to buy the farm here soon. Looking online there is a...

    Grille Emblem Changeup

    So I've been thinking about switching my grilled emblem. I currently have a plasti-dipped pony and am getting bored with it. I really like the skeleton air brushed ones but not $170 like. Just seeing what people suggest or have or would like to see. I'm not putting a snake of any kind on my car...

    Door Handle Issue

    Hi there, for some time now my passenger side door handle has been extremely loose and fragile. I think the hardware or bolts underneath that are used have either stripped or backed out. Can I just remove the handle and replace the hardware? Or do I need to remove the whole handle and get a new...

    I've Been A Bad Boy...

    I've neglected to change the plugs on my Stang here. I've been supercharged and have gone more than 12k miles on the copper Autolite 103's that are in it. Seeing maybe 16.5 mpg city and only 21 on the highway. Car still runs good, but it will run better with different plugs, I'm very sure of...

    And bored with nothing to do. Had a crack and it has been getting bigger and bigger for the last two weeks. I'm off from work and bored as hell. So I took this picture after I swapped my new SVE Drift wheels on. I know it needs a wash, but I cannot wash it cuz I'm waiting from 12-5 for the...

    Factory Battery voltage sitting stuck (?) at off?

    Recently noticed an issue with my battery gauge not turning on or moving at startup or during driving. I'm not having any charging or starting issues either. About 2 weeks ago I replaced the cluster bezel and lens as well as my head unit. The cluster was unplugged and replugged in without...

    Strange, but good (I guess) tune issue?

    Okay, heavy rains hit hard over the weekend when I was out of town. Come back in town and it rains some more during the first drive to my girlfriend's house. Hit some heavy puddles, not too deep, and car stalls once I arrive in her driveway. Pull out my tuner and check for codes. Gave me a...

    Yay! My rear calipers are sticking..again..

    So, about 18 months ago I did the brakes on my car, well my shop did them when I was out of town for a weekend. The passenger rear was locked up on the back of the rotor and killed the rotor and the pads. Now, it is doing the same thing. I had new slide pins installed with a ton of grease, new...

    Thinking about replacing my Balancer

    Alright, so my car is steadily approaching 140k miles and I'm still running the OEM balancer. And I've recently seen some threads about guys who had theirs come apart from old age. My balancer looks fine, but I'm really a kind of person to replace it now rather than later because I know my...

    Who here has done the cruise control stunt on a friend?

    So, I let my friend borrow my car to run to Ace to pick up some hardware for a little computer project we were working on. So, he comes back, we finish up the project and head out to grab some food. I'm driving my car now and I make the car buck by tapping the gas a little. Then I get out of the...

    Received hate mail about starting my car..

    I still live with my parents and today arriving home from work I see a letter that doesn't contain a return address. So I open it and find some threats to me and my parents because I start my car and leave for work between 4:30 and 5:30 on some mornings. I don't rev it or speed in our...
