2003 Torch Red Mach 1 Mustang 4.6 32 Valve V8 5-Speed 94,000 Miles $11,500 OBO I purchased this car new in 2002 and have been the only owner. I am looking to sell as I am starting a family and I just don't have the time to enjoy it anymore. Performance O/R H Pipe Steeda Triax Shifter...

No it doesnt. I was talking about Compustar's remote start. On their unit it needs to see that the car is in park using a ground connection before it will activate. What you did is fine, so long as you remember to flip the switch. You can use a relay to send out a trigger that will...

Use a compustar remote starter if you are putting it on a manual, because they have a neutral safety switch built in. Then you need to hook it up to the parking brake for your ground. The easy way to get around the clutch is to just connect the two wires for the clutch switch and the car will...

I have been thinking about it too, but only because I bracket. Im not looking for faster ET's, I just need a little insurance. Say I have a bad 60ft or I am a little late/early on a shift and got out of my powerband. I want a little something that I can spray after the 1000ft mark just in case I...

Another way is to use a jam nut. Basically you thread two nuts onto the stud and tighten the top one while holding on to the bottom one, so it doesnt try to move furthert down the stud. Once they are nice and snug together, you can take a wrench and loosen the bottom nut and the stud will come...

I have a Mach 1 with a stock rearend, M/T ET Streets and Lakewood 90/10's up front and 50/50's out back. I come out of the hole at 4K. I pull consistant 1.80's and 1.75 is my best short time. I had heard that the strut/shock combo would suck on the street, but I never noticed a major differance...

Well, heres what happened. I broke the spider gears in my Mach and a friend of mine had 2 brand new assembled carriers that he had for his and his wifes car. So I ended up just putting his spider/side gears in my trac-loc on a friday night, so I didnt have to miss points the next day. On my 3rd...

Will a trac-loc from a 96-98 stang wok in an '03? I just want to know before I go and bolt it in. I needed a new trac-loc and I got this one for free, but I am not sure if the housings are the same for the two. Thanks for the help Chris

Mine does this too, but I have a theory. When you get a chance, start your car and let it idle for 15min, before you drive it/move it or even press on the gas. If I do this, mine will not search for an idle, but if I just start it up and start driving, the idle will be all over the place. I...

I think that you guys are looking at the facts wrong. It's not that holding a gear longer is better because you make more power in that gear than you will in the next. Holding a gear a little longer SOMETIMES puts you in the powerband for the next gear. Hear is a table, using the above dyno for...

I think the only thing missed is power under the curve. That is what is most important. I work for a dyno and have seen 9.9x cars weighing 3000#'s putting down only 400rwhp. These kind of cars have awesome power bands and thats part of the reason they get down the track fast. An S2000 has...

My car started acting up the other day and heres whats going on. It starts and idles fine when its a cold start, but then when it gets warm after some driving, the idle changes to 1100rpm. I reflashed it with the stock tune and unhooked the battery for a while to try and reset the EEC. It was...

It could be your driving. I'm not trying to say that you are a bad driver, but I would say that your just not that experienced at track. I am saying this based on your reaction times and 60ft times. In that car a good driver should be cutting .0xx lights and 1.8-1.9s short times, since you...

I guess when I snap an axle , it will give me a reason to build it. Thanks for the heads up though.

Sign me up then. I've got 4.30's waiting to install come spring time, and I'm looking for something to help me hook at the track...and occasionally get put on for the friday night encounters. Chris

Sorry to jack your thread, but has anybody tried the Mickey Thompson drag radials (ET Street ?). My buddy put them on his GTO that runs 11.9's and said they hooked better than any non-slick that he ever tried. Its winter time right now in Detroit, so i figure that its a good time to spend money...

i kinda have the same problem with my car. i think it just loses fuel pressure quickly after shutdown. it never happens if i turn the key to run for a couple of seconds and let the fuel pump cycle to build some pressure. just my .02 :shrug:

interestingly enough i found myself having to sleep in my car this past saturday night, and it sucked when i found out that the seats did not fully recline. :shrug:

I work for a GM dealership (i know :notnice: ), and the sales department can order new window stickers for like $50. i assume Ford might be the same. Go to a dealership, then beg and plead with the sales manager.
