    How to calculate tire size?

    I was wondering how to calculate tire size. I was thinking of picking up 17x9 or 18x9 steeda ultralite satins. What tire size would be best for either combination. What do you think would be the pros or cons of either wheel size? Apparently, the weight difference is only .5 lbs. for each rim.

    Started up the GT500 convertible this morning

    Got a call from my friend and went to see what was in his garage this morning. Not really too impressed. Looks okay, maybe it's just the color... I was hoping it would be louder. Not staying there, just there for the weekend.

    Software for laptop tuning?

    With tweecer do you just install it on a laptop and can hook it up to the OBDII connection? I have a friend who has an extra laptop and just wants to hook up it up and log data. Is the base model tweecer good for that or are there other products or roots you would suggest?

    Do I need anything besides King Cobra clutch?

    Tried doing a search. But my clutch somehow bit the dust in 10k miles. I had a new motor and clutch put in under warranty at 50k miles. I find it hard to believe I tore through a clutch when I babied it for the first thousand miles and then haven't beat on it at all since. Not a single...

    Any likely damage?

    Ford replaced my motor under warranty last winter because the original one spun 3 rod bearings. These past few weeks the car's been like hesitating and/or backfiring between 3k rpm and 5k rpm. So I bring it into my local shop today and they go and pull the spark plus and wires. Ford had put...

    Aerodynamics?

    I was just wondering if anyone had the coefficient of drag for the '05s? I like the way the new style looks, but is it sort of digressing in a sense, with the front end being like a brick wall?

    Smoked headlights?

    I was thinking of getting smoked headlights for my 98. My only issue is, when I had blackout covers on my headlights, nighttime driving sucked. How well do they work with the lights? Can anyone post pics? I think the smoked color would offset my silver and black nicely.
