    Wheels-Tires Front Wheel Fitment. Will A 9.5" +20 Fit?

    I'm looking at new wheels for my car and I'd like to step up to 18s. Well, As you can tell, I'm looking for something different, so I found some 9.5" wide +20 offset wheels that I like a lot. However, I want to know if they will fit up front. I'm pretty sure the rear will be ok, but I don't know...

    Engine Observations While I Changed My Pip Today

    Well I got another OEM PIP for my car recently, and I figured today was a good day to finally change it. I have made numerous threads stating my issues with them over my ownership of this car, but the most recent was here -...

    Engine Does Anybody Make A Distributor For Our Cars That Isn't A Piece Of Crap?

    I bought my car about 4 years ago and it had a distributor problem. It took some work but we changed the PIP and hey, the car was good for a good chunk of time. So a year ago, being that I still have pinging issues at times, I bought a new RichPorter distributor off of Amazon and stabbed it in...

    Bogging/hesitation At Highway Cruising Speeds

    Recently I have noticed while after driving the car for a good period of time on the highway, I've felt that I've been getting a "pulsing" out of my car while steady-state cruising at highway speeds. It seems to happen while around 1500rpms-2000ish rpm with steady, or very light throttle inputs...

    Air Injection System Issues

    First of all, the car does not have a CEL on or anything, and it overall is running well. It does ping when it gets up to operating temp however, and it also seems to idle a little higher when warm too. (around 700 as indicated on the tach when cold, 900 or so when warm). I've always noticed...

    Drivetrain "clunk" When Letting Out Clutch

    For the last year or so, I've been getting a clunk when I let out the clutch on my car. Well, sometimes. To break it down, here's what it does. - Clunks when I'm letting the clutch out - It has ONLY done it when I'm first leaving somewhere after the car has been parked a bit. - When it...

    Install front spoiler.... better MPGs?

    Ok, before you think I'm some kind of nut.... well, I keep pretty accurate fuel economy records.I use Fuelly primarily, but even prior I used to check my MPGs EVERY SINGLE TANK to track it. Here is the Mustang Fuelly page for example...

    03/04 Mach460 head unit

    I've got a stereo 6 disc cd changer from a 2003 that I'd like to sell. I bought it a long time ago to replace the one in my Mom's 2002, but it turns out that 2003-2004 had different plugs on the back of the unit. Lucky me. Sooooo, I finally got a 2002 stereo today to replace her bad one. Which...

    Suspension Add Me To The Broken Rear Sway Bar Club...

    Well, I got under my car today to replace a rear shock that I damaged irreparably last weekend, and to install a Mach1 style front spoiler. All of that went smoothly, but when I was under the back of the car, I noticed that when I was jacking it up the sway bar was moving somewhat...

    Wiper problems.. Multi-Function or Control box?

    Well guys I have had issues with my wipers basically since I've owned the car. I swapped out the Multi-function switch a while back and didn't really get much of a change in how they operate so I thought I would try and ask. What they USED to do was when I would turn on the wiper to any of...

    I sure did. Got a smokin' deal on them on a pair from a connection through my old job, I dig 'em!

    Exhaust tip idea (relocate and raise)

    Well guys I haz an idea! Let me know if it will work. I have always liked the look of the Lexus LS460 style exhaust tips and after seeing them more on the road, I started to wonder they might look integrated into the rear bumper of my car. Well, I finally decided to photoshop them. If you...

    Are these Saleen tail light covers?

    I just got a pair of these. Are they legit? Can anyone tell or is there a logo or marking on them somewhere that can give it away? They need to be refinished because they are faded but I plan on doing that soon (with real car paint of course).

    LED Fog bulb review of sorts...

    I was taking a few pics of the car one night when I noticed that I had a burned out fog lamp bulb. Dammit, I hate when that happens but much like the average car guy, I decided that rather than cry about it, this would five me the chance to try out something new. Well cruising Ebay I came...

    Motorcraft PCV Part Number..

    I put an Autozone PCV valve in my 94 GT a few months back and well, being an anal retentive prick sometimes makes me uneasy about things. I don't like that it has two ports on it. I don't like that it has a 90 degree bend on it, and I don't like that since I installed it, the car seems to be...

    Got a pic of an OEM PCV setup?

    Anyone have a pic of the OEM PCV lines and how they are routed? I changed my PCV valve a few weeks ago and while under there one of the hoses seemed too long, and there were a few other things that seemed just... not right. (worm clamps and whatnot) Anyone got a pic of a total OEM setup...

    Starting to ping a bit

    Well it was warmer today than it has been and I drove the Stang around a bit. Well, I noticed today when I would nail it I would hear some pinging again! Damn. Well, it would ping a bit and the temp gauge would rise after (to be expected) but while cruising regularly it is fine. Do our...

    Woot! Got my Cobra front brakes on!

    I bought the kit a few months ago, but we only got them on about 2 weeks ago. Well, that was on a Saturday and I went and sprained my ankle that Monday at work so I couldn't drive the car for 2 weeks. (that's one of the few times an auto is better than a stick..) The brakes feel great! We...

    RIP Joe Gosinski of Chicane Motorsports

    I didn't see this posted anywhere here so I thought I would. Pardon me if this is a duplicate thread. I remember Chicane primarily because when I used to work at a paint store back in the day, a friend of mine worked with me and had an 88 GT. He would always request the routes and any...

    Exhaust (tip) options on a cat back

    Well I am thinking about getting rid of the stocker exhaust and getting a cat back system down the road. The problem is, well, no offense to anyone here, but I don't like the tips on most of the aftermarket sets I see out there. I think the 3.5" tips are too big looking for my tastes, and I...
