    98 GT Not Starting

    Well seeing as how I don't really have the tools, time, or workspace to attempt any work by myself, I gave up and got it towed to a nearby dealership today. They've already called me back giving me some typical great car news. They told me my fuel pump is out and needs to be replaced, and so...

    98 GT Not Starting

    You don't think maybe it could be something as simple as spark plugs? How rough it is when I get it to rev makes me wonder if all cylinders are actually firing.

    98 GT Not Starting

    About a week ago my car started up rough a couple of times and I just attributed it to the cold weather. Yesterday I tried to start it up and it wouldn't turn over, just sits there cranking. Just now I tried to start it up again it cranked and I gave it a few pumps of gas and got it "started" I...

    frontend renew Pics Inside!

    That looks awesome. I think the 1 piece headlights look pretty good, but still not totally sold on them. I wish someone would make one piece headlights that still looked like the original 3 pieces....so you get the simplicity of the 1 piece headlights, but the original OEM looks of a 3 piece set.

    FIRED!!!!

    Just more proof that it's hard to find honest, trustworthy mechanics with good character. Not that you don't do a good job on cars, but finding a mechanic that actually treats you and your car right almost seems impossible.

    Which Mufflers to go with?

    Probably doesn't even have a Mustang anymore. Last I heard he had just sold off his business for 9.5 million dollars and was living it up. Yeah I just made that up.

    guys with weld-in mufflers

    I got 2.5" Spintechs welded in. It's really not a big deal for an exhaust shop. They can either stretch out the catback part or make the muffler openings smaller.

    What are the tell-tale symptons of a worn clutch?

    Yeah I have to let mine out a ton. The thing is I've always heard people say that just means you just need a new cable.

    C-springs and KDWs installed - pics!

    Now how is the ride? I remember my C springs on my old coupe were rough as hell on bumps.

    Loosen Your Shift Knob

    I don't get how loosening it will help you shift better? Like the other guy said...then it rotates.

    need a new clutch but im on a budget

    I had a King Cobra in my old 5.0 and after a while I got used to the super stiff pedal and I kinda liked it. A Spec 1 is going in my 98 soon. I've had the clutch for over 2 years. I don't hear much about Spec anymore, but back when I bought it everyone used to talk about how they loved Spec...

    What are the tell-tale symptons of a worn clutch?

    The funny thing is I've had this clutch since August 2004 because it was gonna go in my 89 coupe. That plan didn't work out when the car got stolen and was never found.

    What are the tell-tale symptons of a worn clutch?

    I can't really tell...and I don't really floor it that much...this is just my daily driver. There's no way it's worn out that bad. I have to let the clutch out pretty far to get it to grab, and it seems really noticeable while trying to go up hills. It also seemed to get a whole lot...

    What are the tell-tale symptons of a worn clutch?

    I'm gonna get my clutch replaced, but I'm starting to get paranoid and thinking that maybe it's not so bad. What are the main ways you can tell a clutch is starting to go? I'm not talking like totally going out...my car still drives.

    Getting Hole Plugs for 98 GTs Sucks!

    None taken, this is a temporary deal. It's gonna get all that done soon. I don't feel like putting the wing back on because all it does is get water in it and make the paint underneath it even more screwed up. Seeing as how this is my daily driver, I don't want to take the chance of getting...

    Getting Hole Plugs for 98 GTs Sucks!

    Well I took my wing off and getting hole plugs to fill the holes seemed so simple when listening to everyone's description (two 3/8" and two 5/16" plugs). Well the back holes on mine aren't circular, they're more oval like two holes drilled right next to each other. Then the top right hole is...

    How to clean off gunk from wing delete?

    Well for the most part all it is now is a ring around where the base was and there is also some plastic crap surrounding the bolt holes. The ring looks like it's from water sitting around it and the paint in the middle looks real dull.

    How to clean off gunk from wing delete?

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to clean off this dirt/gunk stuff on my deck lid left from my stupid wing? I don't want to damage the surface, but I don't know what to use...this is some thick nasty crap.

    Making tires fit around wheels better?

    Well I was shopping for 315s and I didn't see any Khumos on the list so I didn't get those.
