    Will a 92 DP federal emission stang pass CA smog?

    I'm moving to CA from MA in a couple weeks and I'm replacing the exhaust on my mustang and found that the aftermarket exhaust from autozone eliminates the precat and only has one catalytic converter on it. The CA emission cars require the precat from what the exhaust catalog at autozone was...

    Removing stock exhaust manifold studs

    Anyone ever replace the studs exhaust manifold studs on the outlet of the manifold? Mine were pretty damn rusty but I managed to remove the nuts and get the old exhaust off. Now the threads are nearly nonexistent halfway down the studs. I got new zinc-plated nuts to replace the old rusty ones...

    My old oil filter looks brand new...why?

    Alright, I'm confused. I've had my mustang on the lift for about 5 days doing a T5 swap and I figured I'd change the engine oil today. So I drain the old oil (which was black) and then put the drain plug back in and unscrew the old filter. The filter didn't look too bad on the outside. I...

    Increasing fuel economy on a budget

    As some of you might know, I am going to be moving cross-country to CA and will be driving my stang there. I will be taking a bunch of stuff with me which will weigh me down and reduce my fuel economy. I am trying to find cheap ways to increase fuel economy. It's a convertible so it already...

    New U-joints too short

    I got some u-joints from Advance to put on the T5 driveshaft that I'll be using once I install my T5 that I've just rebuilt and the u-joints are way too small to be used. :shrug: They were 1-0153's which is what they should be from what I can tell. So I got curious and looked up u-joints for...

    I'm selling my red 88 merkur XR4Ti, anyone want it?

    So I've had my 3 merkurs sitting around for a couple years with no money to get any of them back up and running (poor college student). I'm finally about to graduate and will be moving to CA in about a month. I need cash and I will probably never get a chance to get 3 merkurs running so I'm...

    Starter solenoid not turning on

    So in the past I've had an intermittent problem of my 92 stang not starting. I turn the ignition, fuel pump primes, I hear a relay click on as I turn into the start position but then nothing. I checked for voltage on the switching side of the starter solenoid and I'm not getting anything...

    Anyone have a T5 yoke kicking around?

    I was wondering if any of you guys might have a T5 yoke available. I'm in the middle of my T5 swap and realized I was missing the yoke.

    Missing instrument panel lights (Lo Coolant and Lo Oil)

    So I took my whole dash apart and out of the car to find a water leak and decided to take a look at the back of the instrument panel. Mine is missing lights in the "Lo Oil" and "Lo Cool" spots. Are those supposed to be missing? Are they just dummy holes? Did some moron leave them out in the...

    Rebuilding a T5: 1-2 reverse slider is toast

    Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone who's rebuilt a T5 had to replace their 1-2 reverse slider...mine's pretty well worn and so is the one from another tranny I had laying around. Hanlon motorsports wants $85+ shipping, I saw a listing on ebay for $55 + $14 shipping....anyone know of a...

    Custom subwoofer box (work in progress)

    Well, some of you might have seen me mention the custom subwoofer box I'm working on for the stang....here are some teaser pics (battery died after these two were taken). I test fitted it tonight where the back of the back seat used to be and it fits very well (though snug). Tomorrow I'll...

    Rusty floorpan much?

    Apparently the previous owner spilled some soda or something under the passenger seat a while ago... There's a couple pinholes through the metal but most of it is surface rust...I figure I'll give it all a good scraping down, apply some silicone to the holes, throw some rust converter on the...

    Clutch pedal cruise control switch

    Hi there. It's been years since I've posted on here so I'll be surprised if more than a handful of people recognize me but, anyway, I have started wrenching on my stang again and I'm in the middle of the a4ld to t5 swap with an issue. I swapped in the manual pedal assembly noting that there...
