    Rear Brakes????

    I'm with Urban. I think the rear calipers are all the same. My Chilton manual shows the rear caliper as the same. Also, I have seen other postings where this is noted.

    95 Mustang...smoke/sulphur smell

    First, let's figure out why your Check Engine Light is on. Get a code reader like this one: Amazon.com: Equus 3145 Ford Digital Code Reader: Automotive or do the paper clip trick. Gettting the codes can help narrow the cause and keep you from spending your hard-earned $$$s on things...

    Oregon DEQ and Headers

    I sure would like to run Long Tubes but I have to take the car through DEQ. Any of you have any experience with this? On pre 1996 cars, I know they use mirrors and check for cats. That's what they did on mine last time. Do they fail you if they see the LTs? Thanks, B

    who has bought their stang new

    The first day you could go drive a 94 GT, my dad and I went to check them out. Now, mind you, I grew up with Mach Is and older MOPARs and I had my 89 LX 5.0 w/ mods at the time so my expectations were skewwed. I'll never forget the poor guy's face when my dad takes off out of the...

    higher gear?

    My first mustang was an 89 LX 5.0. I installed 3.55s and hated them. I couldn't get any traction with them. BTW, this was back in the pre-Internet days so I REALLY didn't know anything!!! In my 94, I went 3.27s. It's a good gear but I NOW know with all the suspension mods being done and in...

    You may not remember me, but you have to see this!

    I've been on that Turnpike. The Police have Dodge Chargers to run people down. Doesn't sound like they could catch your car!

    Cannot decide

    I voted gears but I wanted to make you aware that a lot of K-members will require you to go to coil-overs up front. I just checked and this is one of them. Your Bullitt kit and your cobra control arms won't work with this so now I REALLY vote GEARS!!!

    EEC + 180* T-Stat + Cold Weather = Bad Cat Conv

    Hey '87 Rock, Thanks for the response. I have reposted this in the tech section but, yes, I'm thinking along the same lines as you. In fact, I ordered a new ECT sensor but am holding off until I pull the codes. A tweecer or TwEECer, as the tuning dudes write it, is a tuning device that...

    Three Catalytic Converters Blown Now

    I don't know if you guys remember, but my car was damaged when moved from Texas. The guy backed my car into the ground of the trailer, damaging my X-pipe and the cats. The exhaust shop here cut out the old cats and put in new ones so I'm not concerned about location. All my EGR stuff is...

    Three Catalytic Converters Blown Now

    I'm working on pulling the codes. I was convinced I had found the cause with the bad T-stat. Damn. Hissin, killing the cats is just an expression.

    Three Catalytic Converters Blown Now

    Happy Holidays everyone, I'm having trouble staying emissions friendly! Here are the facts: 1) Original t-stat was stuck open causing car to run super rich, killed hi-flo aftermarket cats :notnice: 2) Installed new 180 degree t-stat, new O2 sensors, and new spark plugs, new...

    So where's the glass roof option for us?

    Mine has sunroof. It's great although I need to replace the weatherstripping on it. There's a very small leak. I've had the car since 1996 and it's just now starting to leak. I'm the second owner so I don't know if it's an option that was installed at the dealer or if it was done elsewhere.

    Lets see your hoods

    This is hood looks great. Is this the Saleen heat extractor or some other company's version? I like the other hoods as well. Kepp them coming!

    EEC + 180* T-Stat + Cold Weather = Bad Cat Conv

    I'm not sure that I've lost a cat anymore. I'm not smelling rotten eggs like before. I need to isolate the tapping sound. It could just be an exhaust leak. A Tweecer is next on the purchase list. I need to see what's happening.

    M5400-A - Finally got one!

    No CC plates needed with this kit. Also, I'm going to be getting the Cobra arms as well. I'm going back to the same place I got the kit, re-performance.com. He quoted me $159 shipped.

    EEC + 180* T-Stat + Cold Weather = Bad Cat Conv

    Gentlemen, I've recently moved from the heat of Texas to the rain and cold of the Northwest. Since getting here, my gas mileage has plummeted (18 --> 13 mpg in city). I eventually burned out a catalytic converter (Magna flow Hi-Flo Cat).:notnice: I suspected that my T-Stat was stuck...

    TIPS or NO TIPS?

    Tips = Yes As insulting as it is, tips are the only way my wife will know your car is a GT.

    M5400-A - Finally got one!

    Well, it's going to be a good X-mas! The Bullitt suspension packages are no longer on back order. The best deal I have found is $479.99 including shipping from re-performance.com. He doesn't have it listed on his page. I had to shoot him an email and ask if he stocked it in and he said...

    how to pass emissions???

    Hey 89OctaneStang, Dude, sorry for all the problems. Three questions for you. What spark plugs are you running? A lot of guys run colder plugs for nitrous. If your running these, they will not help your emmissions. BTW, brown plugs are symptoms of running rich, white is lean. Next...
