    2017 V6 Exhaust Sound?

    I'm going from a 1989 GT with a good number of mods and am used to a pretty loud rumble when the car is running. It really sounds great. Today I test drove a 2017 V6 today and it was quiet and just seemed like any other car, nothing special. I'm wondering if anyone here has 2015 or newer V6...

    Cobra-R Hoods for a Fox Body

    I've got a 2011 Range Rover Sport. I imagine its similar in size to the 90's Explorers. Might have to take some measurements then just in case. Or rent a trailer. @Stroked88 - Also do you have pictures of these you can share?

    Cobra-R Hoods for a Fox Body

    Interesting... what price are you looking to get for both? Brand new? Any idea if you could fit the hood and bumper in the back of a mid-sized SUV with fold down seats? Unclear how big it would be, especially if boxed up. I had the stalker front end previously but got into an accident and it...

    Cobra-R Hoods for a Fox Body

    Anyone ever install one of these Cobra-R hoods from Trufiber or Cervini? Any idea how they compare to each other? There is about a $300 price difference between them so something must be pretty drastically different. Open to other brands or other places to buy them from... these are just the...

    Lost Engine Nameplate Screws...

    I didn't see it, but I didn't know what to call these either. We do have True Value stores around here, but I already submitted the order and don't feel like dealing with returns.

    Lost Engine Nameplate Screws...

    Excellent, thanks! $9 is a lot for four screws but I guess next time I need to take better care where I leave these :)

    Lost Engine Nameplate Screws...

    I lost the 4 screws that hold on the nameplate to the intake manifold on my 89 GT... I don't know what size they were either. Anyone have a link to where i could order replacements or specs so i could go looking myself? I actually have the upper intake off a Ford Explorer on there now, but it...

    Interior and Upholstery Rear convertible window won't go down

    Not two windows, the two switches stopped working for the same window.

    Interior and Upholstery Rear convertible window won't go down

    >> How about checking the fluid level? If it's low the top won't rise. Rear window, not convertible top. >> Simple check, pull the rear panel and gain access to the motor, find the pig tail, add power and see if it moves, if so, it’s the switch, if not, probably the motor. The fact that...

    Interior and Upholstery Rear convertible window won't go down

    Starting last week, when I press the down button for the rear window on my 89 GT convertible, I just get a slight clicking sound and that's it. I believe that indicates I'm getting power to the window motor but either the motor is shot or something is out of alignment so that the window can't go...

    Is This Oil Pan Salvagable?

    I've got a few different sort of plugs to try... if nothing else, I need to get it plugged enough that I can drive it to somewhere to get the oil pan replaced. Long term fix will be a new oil pan most likely but I'm trying to avoid that right now... needs new brakes and tires as well :/

    Is This Oil Pan Salvagable?

    I am actually OK doing some kind of McGyver fix if it saves me having to replace the oil pan entirely... I only drive this car in the summer and I have an SUV I use as my daily driver, so I really only do one oil change a year. If I were to get something, either a plug or even a dowel as...

    Is This Oil Pan Salvagable?

    Yeah its not a full two layers, there is just the area that it screws into behind the outside metal and those two have separated.

    Is This Oil Pan Salvagable?

    Let me add that I have no idea how to weld or have the tools to do so.

    Is This Oil Pan Salvagable?

    So I think the place I had my car worked on last year put in the wrong sized drain plugs and it looks like it caused the outside portion of the oil pan to separate from the inside portion (the below image hopefully shows that well enough). I'm thinking it went through the softer outside and then...

    Check Oil Light After Oil Change

    Well, it went off on its own when I went out to get my lunch... I'll look under the car if it comes back where you suggested. Thanks!

    Check Oil Light After Oil Change

    Where do I look for the wire at? Must go to the oil pan some place I suppose.

    Check Oil Light After Oil Change

    I changed the oil on my 1989 5.0 a few days ago and after about a half hour of driving, the check oil light came on. I checked the oil then and again later once the engine was cool and it looks fine. The oil pressure looks normal too but the light still stays on... I've driving about another...

    Where To Find Convertabile Interior Panels?

    Yeah I wonder if I just took the old ones to an upholstery shop, if they could do something to them as well. Fiberglass could be an option to make my own as well, but it's nothing I've ever done before. Thanks for the idea.

    Where To Find Convertabile Interior Panels?

    "New? As in 30 year old car but I want..............new parts?" It's really not crazy at all, you can buy new interior parts for pretty much everything in the Fox body Mustangs besides these quarter panels :/ "Yeah, they used to...but not any more. Here is the page...
