    Thumbnail images

    I've seen this elsewhere and I think its a good idea. It seems to help cut down on the clutter when someone posts a large image or replies to a post that contains pictures. The pictures in the quoted message are automatically given [thumb] tags rather than show the same image full size. If...

    Rear track width (stock)

    One thing I have always disliked about these cars is how far in the rear wheels sit. Is there anything that can be done to bring the stock wheels out a bit more? Are there any Ford models with a similar lug pattern that can be sourced? I suppose just adding longer axles wouldn't work because...

    Close call.

    So it's a nice day out and decide to take a little cruise. I'm at a major intersection waiting to make a right turn. A pedestrian was crossing so I had to wait for them to clear when I suddenly hear tires screeching. I glance up at my rearview mirror to see a Black Charger barreling towards...

    Mavromont, back in business?

    edit: Err, I hope it's ok to post this. I got an email from them saying they'd receive the first shipment of 17x8's by July 2nd. Hopefully they can keep it going but I will be jumping on a set asap. http://www.ponyr.com/ Here's the email for those interested:

    2 fast Mustangs

    Even with the chassis mods, I don't think I'd want to be in a Fox Bod going that fast. :shock: Sick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbXGfcs_yuQ

    Installing driveshaft

    Seems pretty straightforward but any tips or hints I can get will be helpful. Are there any smaller parts, lube, etc that'll I'll need? I ran a search but didn't find much on actually installing them. I have the FMS Aluminum unit.

    converter vs street radials

    Looking for some input from the guys running aftermarket converters. I'm looking at something in the 2000-2400 range for my daily and I'm wondering if traction will be a big issue. The car is a commuter first so I don't want to go overboard but it needs some help getting off the line if the...

    Changing all black ponies to silver lip

    I noticed a couple guys have the dark ponies with silver lip. I think it looks much better than all black/argent so I want to try it out. What would be the best way to strip the lip down to silver? FYI, my wheels are powdercoated not painted.

    5-lug conversion post #4,080

    I plan on looking for used Aerostar/Ranger axles. However, I read that the SN95 axles, which are 3/4" longer on each side, can be used. Will they work with a drum setup or only a rear disc setup? I want to use these axles to bring the rear wheels out a bit. FYI, I'm going with 17x8" AFS 03...

    Custom cams ...

    I would've posted his in talk but I suppose it's tech related. This is an email I got from a mechanic/friend talking about custom cams. He doesn't mince words so fair warning to those who might not like it. I'm not posting this because I have an agenda but I'm interested in seeing a...

    Too much oil pressure? If so, how/why?

    Over the past 1 1/2 weeks I've had two major oil spills at the filter. Apparently I'm having a problem with excess pressure. My filter looks like an unopend soda can that's been in the freezer too long. It doesn't actually "burst" but the damage obviously allows oil to escape. I was told...

    A sign of aging, modding...?

    Back when my 5-speed was basically stock (see sig) and had about 200k LESS miles lol, I could just fire it up cold and go. I suppose that's not good for a car but let's not get off track here. lol No matter how "cold" the engine was, I'd have full power immediately. Now I have to let it warm...

    Replace smog pump cannister?

    Let me get this out of the way first: if you don't need one where you live I am very happy for you. :D Does anyone know if the cannister should be replaced after so many miles? Are there any elements inside that clog or corrode over time? My modded Mustang passed the smog test with 280k on...

    ? about holding 2nd in AOD

    Ok, after spending a good hour and a half browsing the aod posts I have a simple question. In normal driving, does it harm the tranny to: Start out in "D", allowing it to shift into 2nd gear, then manually shift back to "L" so it'll hold a bit longer? I suppose this isn't much different...
