    Another rear disk question-with a twist-sorry

    I already have the cheap 5lug swap. I'm going to drop my car in class from CP to ESP with the removal of a few mods, including cutting off my MM full lengths SFCs :notnice: In the process, I'd like to add disk brakes. (ESP allows Fox updates from '79 to '93) The Cobra has rear disk...

    Cruise Control broke any ideas?

    I'm a cruise control nut. I use it all the time, it helps me keep my speed under control and avoid tickets. I was driving home from the drag races with the cruise on and going about 75 mph. No probs. All of a sudden I hear a pop in the steering column or dash, smell that elecronic burning...

    Our shop has inherited a project. A 1999 Explorer 5.0 in a 69 Mustang- MAF, AOD, not electronic transmission. Everything's in place except for wiring. How best to proceed? We found a place that will customize the harness and computer for $1500, just wanted to check and see if this was...

    What upgrades from an '87 Turbo Coupe

    This guy is parting out an '87 Turbo Coupe. Are there any upgrade parts for a fox body? I'm thinking rear disks, but I don't know for sure and I couldn't find it in a search. Thanks in advance.

    Ford oil pump design flaw???

    In May, my '90's oil pump seized up during an autocross, no oil pressure/ticking lifters. Dropped the pan and found that a small disk, (1/8" across and 1/16" thick), had seized up the pump. I replaced and played with the car the rest of the season. Last weekend during our final autocross...

    2003 LCA to fox body-ANSWER

    FYI. I purchased stock UCAs, LCAs and swaybar from a 2003 GT for $20 to replace my 1990's worn out parts. After a couple hours, I had them swapped out and they worked 100%, even the stock '90 sway bar bolted right up. The LCAs were physically identical and I could only guess that the 1999+...

    UCA/LCAs from a 2003 into a 1990

    I have rear UCA/LCAs from a 2003 GT. I hear they will work on a fox body if the sway bar is also used, can anyone confirm this??? THanks, Vic

    Mustangs in STX? AUTOCROSS

    Can Stangs run in STX? I think so, but what does a maxed-out STX Mustang look like? My '90 GT vert has panhard bar, LCAs, alum d/s, cc plates, braces, SFCs, 4.10s, O/R H pipe, pullies, what has to go in order for me to run STX? Thanks,

    Exploding headlamps

    '90 GT. I replaced my passenger side headlight and within 2 weeks it was out again. I bought another and when I pulled the broken one, I discovered the bulb glass was shattered. I went ahead and swapped it and the same thing happened. Three different bulbs bought from 3 different places all...

    Want loud with stock cats-Jade, I did search, really!

    My wife likes the way my '90 sounds with O/R H + Flowmaster 2 chambers. Loud and strong. She'd like the same sound in her '95, but we race her car in autocross and have to keep the stock cats. I'm leaning towards one chamber flow masters or bullets. Any thoughts on how to recreate the same...

    AODE vs SENSORS -need answers please

    I've been searching for help with my AODE without any luck. Here's my problem: with the cruise on, driving 55-ish, the tranny will get a mind of it's own shifting from OD to 3rd sometimes even to 2nd then back to OD. :bang: This happens consistently and often. It's as if a sensor is telling...

    zero oil pressure, lifters tickin'-whattya think?

    Just before my last race, I started the car and no oil pressure, tickin lifters. Shut it down and pulled the distributor to find my oil pump drive shaft twisted like a licorice stick. (BTW, I used a prestone anti-freeze tester hose to pull the broken shaft.) Ok, so my pump is seized up...

    Strut swap-90 to 95?

    I'd like to take the Koni SA struts and shocks from my 90 GT and put them in my 95 GT. I know the numbers are different but it looks like they would swap. What would the effect be? Anyone ever try this? thanks :nice:

    How stiff?

    Added Koni SA (yellows), MM CC plates and MM swaybar poly kit this weekend. Springs are stock. Wow, the car is stiff, but on the road they don't feel bad at all. My 200 lbs can't budge the fender when the konis are max firm. For those of you with this combo, is this the norm? BTW the MM...

    Swaybar removal

    I changed the endlinks on my swaybar, then tried to change the bushings. I can't get the bushings off. The nuts on the top side of the bolt just spin and I can't stop 'em. Thanks!

    I know, I know. I'm supposed to search first, but my last 10 searches revealed nothing. I'm installing Koni SAs next weekend. Need step by step instructions on replacing struts. Does someone have a link? Many thanks.
