    Overhaulin' brakes...

    A weekend of thrashing the beast has resulted in the pads settling in... Thanks for the info! ...and no, I haven't bled the brakes properly. I never feel like I am quite done. Anyone have an opinion on the 'one-man' bleeders? I have used the Mighty-Vac and "hose in the jar" method in...

    Possible Bad coilpack?

    Hum... I don't know about the 'work/no work' state of the coil pack. Dang CEL is useless. I changed plugs on the '01 that I just picked up and found the previous owner had them gapped really tight. New plugs at 0.54" and the beast ran like crap - rough idle, no power - but it ran. New...

    Bullitt Wheels on 02 Mustang, are spacers needed?

    Teaching the daughter to drive in the 2001 with 17" Bullit's off a 2007. The tires drag with the steering locked in either direction. What kind of spacer do I need to get the correct offset? Thanks!

    Bullitt Wheels on 02 Mustang, are spacers needed?

    ...and then rub on the anti-sway bar on one side and the fender on the other. Still look cool! I have 235/55/R17's that end up about three inches taller than the 205/50/R16's that were on it before. Really fill the wheel well nicely.

    P0402 Code

    Pretty much same story... I picked up a 2001 V6 for my daughter. The dang thing had all sorts of codes at first. I ended up with a DPFE, plugs, wires and a new coil pack. It idles at about 700 rpm now!

    2008 Wheels on a 2002 Mustang? How do they look?

    I just picked up a 2001 'barn find'. It had been stored since '07. Craig's List in my area has a good selection of '05-'11, factory 17" Bullitts and split mags that the racer-boys can't wait to get rid of! The good news for me was the set I grabbed included four good tires! the...
