    Finally lowered my stang

    I don't really get on here much anymore cause I stay busy with school, but I've had my tangerine stang for over a year now and just got around to lowering it. I did it at school the past two days, along with drilled and slotted rotors, a new rack and pinion, new brake pads, c/c plates, etc. I...

    Engine swap for '96 GT

    I'm not sure where to put this, since it has to do with two different generations of Mustangs, but maybe some SN95 people can help me haha. I have a '96 GT, the motor has over 350k neglectful miles (I've had the car a year and kept up with routine maintenance but it had a rough life before I...

    What an EXCELLENT day

    This is kind of long, but I REALLY need to rant. For the past week or two my clutch has been messed up. A friend told me it was my clutch cable. Got the part but I've been having a hard time getting my mechanic to fix it because he's always busy. Drove my car to school today. Got into town...

    How do you replace...

    How do you replace the rubber around the e-brake? Also, how do you replace the door panel clips? I've looked everywhere and can't find where it's explained out...

    Powder coat wheels or not?

    I'm considering getting my wheels powder coated black. I hate chrome on my car, it looks weird. I'm getting flat black boss stripes (without "boss" obviously) put on my car, and I think the powder coated wheels would look cool with it. A lot of people say I should do it, then it seems like an...

    Finally cleaned up ol'orangey (PICS)

    STILL no wax, but we cleaned up my car today and took some decent photos of it. I have a pony to put on the grille but I'm kinda liking it without anything on the front. Also, I know the front bumper is messed up, I'm working on getting it fixed lol. And finally, heres pictures to prove I DO...

    Ticking in 1st?

    When I leave off in 1st gear, my car makes a loud ticking noise. It's only in first gear, never when the car idles or in any other gears. It needs a tune up/oil change BAD and has an exhaust leak. But if it was skipping, wouldn't it tick all the time? Anyone know what would cause it to tick only...

    Junk in my trunk PICS

    I've had my car a month, but I haven't looked at the roof of the trunk before today. My old car just had a roof like normal, my new car has a bunch of **** screwed to it. I'm wondering if someone could explain what said **** is to me. Is it important? Do I need it? How can I get rid of it...

    Stupid windows don't roll down

    My windows are electric and broken. They don't roll down. I have dreams almost every night that they roll down, but then I wake up and they're still broken. I don't really mind right now because I don't eat fast food and it's too cold to roll them down, but summer is approaching rapidly fast...

    It'll buff out, right?

    My car has really, really ****ing annoying marks on the hood. It looks like someone took an eraser and scrubbed the hood. It was raining when I bought the car so I couldn't see the spots, otherwise I absolutely would have asked the guy wth. I've only been able to wash the car and wax the hood...

    Meet The Tangerine Machine

    Today I bought the bright tangerine GT I posted about in some other thread. It's ****ing awesome. I got it for $3,500. It had 18" Saleens on it, but for $3,500 the guy's wife was like put the crappy wheels on it. I was like YES, I like the GT4's better on it. :D No idea why it has a cobra emblem...

    Leather manual seats

    What do you do when you have seats that aren't electrical but you really want to replace them with leather seats? Are non-electrical leather seats completely unheard of or something? What about having like seats reupholstered with leather? Does that even work? It sounds like it would cost an...

    New :)

    Hiiii everyone! I just joined so hopefully I can finally get plenty of help with my car. My car is a long term project, to put it nicely. This month, last year, I bought my first car. It's a red '96 five speed GT with absolutely no options. It's a pretty awesome car, but it needs a lot of work...
