    Car won't start - P0190 & P0193 DTCs - HELP!!!

    Figured it out! It ended up being the fuel pump. I installed a SVT focus pump. That should take care of me when I add the blower next year. While I had it up, I installed my Griggs Racing LCAs, koni coil overs, and the axle mount for the PHB. I'll install the over half of the PHB next week...

    Car won't start - P0190 & P0193 DTCs - HELP!!!

    Thanks for the replies thus far. I've already checked the IFC Switch in the trunk. Additionally, the fuel pressure gauge is showing zero pressure. I'll start trouble shooting the electronics this weekend. Any possibility of the timing adjuster playing into this issue due to the...

    full suspension: suggestions/thoughts?

    Most important thing for you to consider is spring rates versus the valving on the shocks/struts. I have Bilstiens all around and the ride is okay. My problem is that there's a little too little spring for the valving on my Bilstiens. If you go through MM, their sports valved Bilstiens...

    full suspension: suggestions/thoughts?

    For potholes and rough surfaces...that's a hard one. If you lower your car and increase your spring rates, etc., your car's NVH will go up. I'm not an expert with spring rates and bump/rebound settings for your dampers so I can't comment on what an optimal setup would be (perhaps others can...

    where to install gears in oc/la

    I provided the gears, diff, TA cover, and change-out kit. With axles, it was close to $700. Labor was probably $300 to $350. Axle bearings & seals, 31-spline axles, and fluids were the remainder. You might be able to get a better deal elsewhere but J&S Gear specializes in rear ends so you...

    full suspension: suggestions/thoughts?

    What is your application? What are you trying to acheive? Before you start piecing together a suspension package for your car, think long and hard about what you are trying to do... Drag racing? Road racing? Better street handling? Smooth ride? Each will have a different answer...

    Rear end Girdles

    I have the regular TA cover on a lowered Stang so you can imagine what my spare tire well looks like! I found that out a couple weeks ago while changing my diff oil... Not too happy with the clearance issue!!!

    where to get gears done?

    Chicane is expensive. Also, check other folks regarding Chicane's timeliness. They do good work but I have heard they take their time (probably since they're so busy). Joe is a good guy though. Changing your axle bearings and seals is good preventative maintenance depending on how many...

    Installed MGW's New Short-Throw Shifter and Cobra Steering Wheel Today!

    I've got the blue "short" handle installed and the reach is much more comfortable than my Pro 5.0 (see picture for handle). Since it was so comfortable, I didn't even experiement with the red "long" handle (I bought both as part of an introductory deal). The MGW unit allows you to rotate the...
