Ok so I'm changing the rotors and pads on the back of my car. I put the new rotor on and put the new pads into place in th caliper bracket. However, when I try to put the caliper back into place it will not fit. It is as if the outer brake pad is just too thick. The caliper is not big enough...

I just put an 8.8 in my car and I'm pretty worried about it. When I am driving straight, there are no issues with it. However, when I am turning slowly, such as when I'm backing out of my driveway, there is like a grinding going on back there that I can feel. It feels like a tire rubbing, but...

Ok I have a problem and I hope I can describe it well enough to get some help. Whenever I am going down the road at a constant speed, the rattling and clanking sounds under the car do not normally occur. However, as soon as I let off the gas pedal there is a CLANK and if I continue to let he...

My driveshaft is rubbing on my muffler. When I get under the car and look there is less than a cm of space between the shaft and muffler, and whenever I get in the car and drive around I can hear and feel it rubbing and clanking. My car has flowmasters on it, so it's not the stock exhaust...

I'm sorry I don't know what it is supposed to be called, but I'm looking for information about something. I have an 8.8 rear going in a v6 car. The 8.8 has a rubber hose that comes off of it about a foot long with a banjo fitting on it. Can someone please tell me what this would normally...

I have a friend who has the rear brakes pulled off of a couple of his cars. He tried it on one of them as an odd idea of a "free mod" to remove unsprung weight, and has seen no problem running without them. Has anyone here done this? Is it a really dangerous idea or what? He hasn't had any...

My car is originally a v6 model, but it as a 95 cobra engine/trans and I'm in the process of installing an 8.8 in it. I have the 8.8 ready to go in basically and I have the 7.5 pulled and out of the way. After pulling the 7.5, though, I noticed that the brake line attaches to the 8.8 on the...

I was changing the plug wires on my car today, and noticed that on the passenger side header it says "Ford Motorsport." Is that something that came stock on a 95 cobra or is it probably aftermarket? Thanks for anyone who knows.

Ok guys, I have a couple of very frustrating problems at the moment. 1. Fuel leak: I have a fuel leak at the fuel filter on the inlet side. The fuel looks to be leaking right out of where the filter plugs into the fuel line. I changed the fuel filter yesterday and I bought a pack of...

My car has a stock 95 cobra engine. I plan to eventually have the heads and intake ported etc, but right now I only have the funds to do the first part of my project which is suspension/rear end/paint etc. I'll have a little bit of money left over after I buy the stuff for the first part of...

The car I just bought still has the v6 rear end in it. Is there anything that I can reasonably do to build this rear-end up instead of having to replace it with an 8.8? I plan for my car to run 12s on motor, so it'll need to be fairly strong. What do you guys think? Will I have to...

The goal I have in mind for my car is to run 12s on motor and basically be my weekend/whenever I feel like driving it car, as I have a civic that I drive daily to save gas/wear and tear on the mustang. I don't know an aweful lot about how to make a good combo, so I was hoping someone could...

My car's engine and exhaust (along with other things) were both swapped over from a 95 cobra. It sounds really good to me, a lot better than any stock gt I've ever heard. Did the cobra come with different exhaust or is it just the different engine parts that make it sound so much different...

Hi everyone, I'm finally getting another mustang after selling my previous one. I'm buying a sn95 from my brother. He had a very nice 95 cobra which got wreckec, and he swapped the engine/trans/etc over to a v6 car. Well, maybe a year or so ago he started having trouble with it and it won't...

Hey guys, My wife and I sold her 2002 Mercury Cougar a couple of days ago. It was running perfectly for us. However, the buyer drove it about 40 miles and it started shutting off and threw the check engine light. Well, the girl loves the car and wants to keep it, but only if we can fix it...

Hey guys, My wife has an 02 cougar with the DOHC 2.5 in it. It's an auto. We just got her a new civic (wanted something four door) and we want to sell the Cougar but just in the last month it started having an issue. The best way for me to describe it is this: If I am going down the road at...

Hey, My passenger window stoped working on my 93 gt hatch. I want to first check the fuses to make sure that's not the problem. Where is the fuse? Is there more than one fuse box on the car? If it turns out not to be the fuse, how can i force the window up until I am able to replace the...

I'm interrested in getting 4.10s and running either drag radials or slicks, but I'm afraid i'm going to break my rear end. So what's the deal? On a car like mine, which doesn't have much more power than stock, will the stock rear hold up to a good deal of punishment, or should i build it up...

Well i've read through a bunch of old threads and i'm still confused on this. When i remove my AC and smog pump is it absolutely necessary to relocate the power steering pump to where the AC used to go using the Ford kit? Or can i just yank the AC and smog out and run a short belt? Would that...

Whenever i start my car for the first time in the morning or any other time it's sat for a while, whenever i start it up if i dont give it any gas it will die, and then if i start it up again it will die, and it will repeat this as many times as my battery has power to start it. However, if i...
