    The pedal does not stick to to floor, but the way the motor revs it's as if it does. I will try disconnecting the IAC today.

    F1 is Back

    KR has the know how BUT He can't get a car that won't peter out befort the finish line Yeah, if he has a decent car this year I have a feeling he may take the title. I mean to come from dead last to 3rd in Bahrain was pretty impressive.

    car scared bejeezuz out of me last night!

    I started the car up today after taking off the blower belt just in case. The car idled good. Tried 1/2 throttle and the car was ok. Tried 3/4 and still good but going WOT would cause the car to go to redline and the revs would not come down until I stomped on and off the gas pedal a couple...

    car scared bejeezuz out of me last night!

    Last week I put my stang back on the road after sitting idle for 2 years. The first week I pretty much babied it around. Well last night I went WOT for the first time. When I let off the gas to go to 2nd gear the revs shot up to redline like the throttle was stuck open. It didn't hit a rev...

    installed bassani x-pipe

    After 2 years of my stang sitting non-op in my driveway I am putting it back on the road. I installed a bassani x w/cats to pass emissions. The bassani is much quieter than my old o/r h-pipe. I thought the x was supposed to sound more "exotic" but it really just sounds like a quiet h-pipe. I...

    Smog pump ticking/tapping

    Change it or bypass it quick. I had my pump seize going 75mph. Lots of melted rubber, plastic pulleys and smoke. Leaves you stranded.

    Upgradin front brakes.

    scot 94gt is on the money. I did the upgrade 2 weeks ago. The calipers bolt right up as they come with the brackets but the stock gt lines don't fit the cobra calipers. I went with ss braided lines and the pedal feel is much more solid. I got my stuff from stangsuspension.com.

    Eibach spring install problem

    I borrowed the spring compressor and a tie rod puller from autozone. I ended up not using the spring compressor. If you disconnect the tie rod it is much easier than compressing the spring. With the tie rod unbolted and the ABS cable out of the way you will have enough room to get the spring...

    Wrecked Enzo

    I take PCH on the weekends and let me tell you, doing 125mph on this road is insane. It's a narrow 4 lane winding road that follows the pacific ocean. Their is always a good amount of traffic too and a speed limit of 40mph. Their are plenty of great roads for a car like that in Malibu but PCH...

    Eibach spring install problem

    I just replaced my front springs last weekend. It sounds like you don't have the pigtail of the spring in the groove of the control arm. If it is sitting "on top" of the arm the car will sit about an inch higher. To turn the spring make sure you jack the high enough off the ground to get the...

    Black wheels on black stangs...get in here.

    I'm thinking about doing 18x9 and 18x10.5 black rims on my black vert. I like rims with the polished silver lip and deep dish in the back. The only design I don't like are bullets, not into the retro look. Please post pics of your black rims. I'm looking for ideas.:D

    Cobra brake upgrade

    Got the calipers and lines from stangsuspension.com. The rotors I got off ebay for $55. All in I spent around $325 for the fronts. I bedded the brakes yesterday and I was impressed with the stopping power. They also look great...almost attracts the attention away from my ugly tri-bars:rolleyes...

    Cobra brake upgrade

    Just got done installing a set of cobra 13" rotors, cobra calipers and ss lines. The car brakes much better now. The pedal feel is a lot firmer which I like. Definitely recommend this upgrade:nice:

    Damn brake lines.....HELP!

    You don't have to bleed the brakes if your are only changing the pads. How do you know when all the air is out of the lines? Does the pedal firm up? Do I do this with the engine on or off?

    Damn brake lines.....HELP!

    I'll bleed the brakes tomorrow. My question is how do you know when you are done bleeding the pass side before doing the driver side?

    Damn brake lines.....HELP!

    So today I was supposed to switch out my front springs and put on the cobra 13" calipers rotors and ss lines. I was feeling pretty good about myself after I finished the springs and had the rotors and calipers on. When I tried to remove the stock brake lines I couldn't for the life of me get the...
