    re-assembly on the CHEAP!

    my plans for the mustang have DRASTICALLY changed from my original ideas. i'm now simply going to do a basic reassembly and repair/replace the broken/worn out pieces. i'm going to use the parts i already have (exploder intakes, and a pair of off brand "racing" seats) and put the car back...

    DIY junkyard turbo kit

    is there a noticeable difference in a chinese turbo kit? i've read a few posts about different kits but i haven't noticed any specific problems mentioned. is a reliability issue over a long period of time or do they make less power? also, something else i haven't seen is the mention of...

    DIY junkyard turbo kit

    DIY junkyard turbo kit

    have any of you guys done this or know anyone that has done it? i was reading through another forum that referred to it. it didn't get very specific other than mainly listing a TON of cars that came with factory turbos and stating that it's not a project for the timid. any ideas on the total...

    another possibility.... '84 GT350

    i got pics from the owner of that car this morning in my email. no front shots but from the side it looks exactly like a white aero LX hatch. the body is is multiple shades of white. it looks pretty rough and would definitely need a fair amount of work to make it nice

    t-bird, lincoln and pickup truck heads...will they work?

    will these heads work on a foxbody from either of these cars? are they different than what came on a fox 5.0? a friend of mine was at the local bone yard yesterday and said it looked like the heads on those cars are aluminum. are they better than stock? will they bolt up? what about the...

    MMs road/track box

    that's what he told me. apparently they are not made for severe "articulation", such as entering or leaving driveways. he also said the ride quality for the rear coilovers was very stiff. he told me the springs that come with that setup will drop the car about an inch. he also stated...

    MMs road/track box

    i'm sure Shaolin will pipe in here. i've talked to him a couple of times about MMs stuff. i haven't found ANY bad reviews of their pieces/parts. i was looking at doing a torque arm as well but it may not be needed, especially given the very limited track time the car will actually see. i'm...
