I have a jack under the control arm lifting up just a bit to relieve the spring pressure. I am trying to remove this bolt so I fully lower the arm to remove the spring. These bolts have been there for 20 years!

Hey everybody, I'm trying to disconnect my rear lower control arm from the axle (installing coilovers) and am having a really hard time removing the bolt that holds the arm to the axle. I got the nut off but the bolt just spins when turning and I can't get a swing at it with a hammer to punch...

Anybody know of a reputable Mustang tuner located in northern IL or southern WI. It's long overdue I get a tune. Thanks.

Hey all, Wondering if my 93 notch has factory clear coat paint. I think not due to the amount of red that shows up on my polishing pads. Thanks.

Where can I find a picture of both the deep dish SC's and the deep dish 03/04 Cobras?

Thanks all. It looks like 50 Resto is the best deal on machined 03 Cobras. However, BuyFordParts has the cheapest M2300K brake kit price I've seen ($2199).

Oops. For some reason I didn't think the actual OEM wheels were so readily available. I like the look of the machined version. Any tips on how to clean / maintain the machined surfaces?

Any suggestions? Also, is there a machined version, or only chrome and painted?

How many years of good performance can one expect from a set of quality wires?

Daaaamn! That's nice! What is the suspension set-up?

Thanks for the feedback. I removed the valve cover baffle because it interferes with the roller rockers. Hissin, can you explain this catch can you recommend? Does an oil breather cap still need to be plumbed back into the t-body like the stock cap?

I've had oil creeping into the throttle body ever since I removed my valve cover baffle to install roller rockers. Lately, however, I've noticed oil dripping from my air filter when parked. The oil in is running all the way down from the t-body past the MAF and out the air filter. Any...

Regarding the possibility of carbon build-up, I think I've heard of a chemical (maybe household) that maybe can be poured into the spark plug hole to disolve the carbon. Hmm...maybe that was a dream.

Thanks jrichker. I'll have to check out the EGR then. Don't know too much about it. I assume it's a matter of replacing the EGR valve. Any idea how much $? Although I still wonder about the LT O2 sensor location since the pinging was noticed after LT install. If that is the problem then I...

Did some WOT experimenting yesterday. At WOT the pinging goes away. Hmm...what does that mean? Does it mean the O2's are reading too rich and telling the ecu to go leaner?

No disclaimers now Hissin50! I'll send you my new shortblock bill! Just kidding, thanks for the reply!

Thanks for all the feedback everyone, I really appreciate it. I also suspect it is the new, further downstream location of the O2's. Without the collector geometry fresh in my memory, I would think BBK would have put the O2 bung as far upstream as possible to avoid this problem. Hissin50...

Hey All, Started to notice some pinging after installing LT headers. Happens when loading the engine at low rpm. My O2 sensors are likely original with 68K miles. They've been through many on-road/off-road x/h-pipe swaps (darn emissions tests) and now also have extensions due to LT's...

I'm pretty sure it's not an exhaust leak. I had a leak with my old shortys due to a broken gasket. After the LT's and new gasket - no leak. I recently lowered timing to about 16° btdc (aluminum heads, compression ratio probably lower than stock, 93 octane gas). I do wonder if my timing...

Hey all, I recently went from 1-5/8" shorty headers and O/R h-pipe to BBK 1-3/4" long tubes and catted x-pipe. I've since noticed some engine detonation/pinging under load in 5th gear. The car is quieter now with the cats so there is a slight possibility that I just wasn't hearing this ping...
