    91 Convertible Exhaust Suggestions (too Stinky)

    So this is my second Foxbody - the first was an 89, and I had just about the same setup exhaust-wise. I remember the 89 would leave me smelling like gas if I had the windows and or the top down. So me, not thinking, decided to do the same thing with my 91. I guess I just wasn't thinking. I...

    New Clutch Installed - Still Have To Mash To The Floor For A Clean Shift

    My throwout bearing was bad, so I replaced OEM clutch with Ram HDX, pilot/throwout bearings, and bearing housing. When I got the car back it shifted like a dream. I didn't have to mash the clutch all the way in for a clean shift. 24 hours later, it still feels like a new clutch but on...

    Metal On Metal Noise At Random Times - Passenger Front Under The Hood/near Wheel

    I have taken the car to two places and they have no idea what it is. The problem is, when the car is on a lift, the sound cannot be replicated. To describe it, it sounds like a piece of metal tapping another piece of metal. It does it when I am driving slow or fast, hit a bump or on a smooth...

    Just wondering.. When I had my 89, I had 2 10's in a box in the trunk, and it took up the entire thing. It wasn't a custom box. I had a nice stereo and speakers up front but cannot remember what they were. My 91 has 2 6x9's in small boxes behind each seat on the floor with aftermarket JVC...

    How To I Bring My Dash Lighting Back To Life?

    Well, I know the answer is to change the bulbs behind the dash bevels, but does anyone have specifics or any tricks? I need to change out bulbs in the dash above the steering wheel and also where the heater controls are. Some seems very dull.
