Hey all, It's been a looong time, but I finally have some time and money to throw some more money at the stang before I head back to school. After searching and researching threads, it looks like wilwood's have the best reputation. I found a front brake disc kit from summit for 650...

Hey guys...been a long while but I'm outta school and back to the stang. First project is putting a new front valence on. Simple as that may be, I've gotten stuck. The old valence is unbolted and is only held in by the parking lights. The bezels for the lights can't fit through the hole in...

Alright, I know I've been talking about it for about the last year, but I'm finally ready to change my valve springs out, I've got em bought and sittin at my feet. IM REALLY GOING TO DO IT THIS TIME. Thing is, my shop manual says to screw in an air hose into the the CC through the spark plug...

Just put in a b&m transpak, all is done and together, with one minor problem... it won't go into Low. Goes fine through the rest of the gears, but won't go down into that bottom gear. I do NOT have the fluid in yet, I'm making sure it's hooked up alright before I add the 4 quarts taht takes...

Well, awhile ago I had a new cam put in, and rather stupidly didn't put in matching springs. I finally have some money and a little more experience to the point I feel I could put em in without a problem. My question is, should I just put in new springs or go with kit with the retainers and...

Drivin to lunch today when I start to hear a loud rumble. Don't think much of it, there's a lot of big trucks around, when suddenly I see a cobra start to come towards. And another. And another. Six total, two blue with white stripes, one flat blue, two all black, and one was white. One of...

Seems like suspension is the project of the month, but I'll go ahead and post a few pics anyway. Put in all the parts in my sig, took about four days, bout one and a half of those trying to get the spring compressor to work, and I still didn't get them out in "textbook fashion". Car rides...

Got the uppers off and the coils out (that was fun) and am now in the process of drilling for the Shelby drop. The instructions say to remove about an even thickness of 1/8" to 1/4" worth of shims to compensate for the added positive camber. I noticed my front tires are definately wearing more...

Well I'm just about done getting the suspension out, rear came with no problems. I have the front shock out and the spring compressed, but now I'm stuck trying to get the upper arm out. There is very little clearance between the bolt and the headers in the engine bay and I'm havin quite a bit...

Put in the 1-wire yesterday without a hitch. Two questions: 1.) Can I get rid of the external voltage regulator now or do other accessories need it? 2.) The new alternator whines...not too loud, but noticeable right above idle, sounds like a quiet supercharger. Is this normal? Kinda of like...

Just got done helping a buddy install $4000 in parts on his 300ZX TT...and let me say, after working on that thing I will never pay a mechanic a single cent to work on my car. I always took the engine bay space we have in our stangs for granted. Dropped the tranny put in a new clutch...

Reading through my newly aquired shop manual I was reading up on my next task, suspension. It seems like I have to go through the trunk to get my rear shocks out...is this the only way to do this? If so, I have a bit of a problem as my entire trunk is carpeted and has subs semi-perminantly...

Sorry, I know people have done them, but I can't seem to locate one wherever I've looked :shrug: My car has had a reoccuring problem of having the electrical system die every couple months. Just stops starting so many months after a new battery. I've tore the thing apart looking looking for...

I can't take the squeeking and the scraping anymore, so it's time to get rid of that sagging suspension. I'm goin with the Mustang's Plus Street Heat, figure might as well go all out (on a budget "all out" :) )for an extra hundred bucks. I've searched to get as much info as I could, but I...

Well I dropped in my cam in late August, and foolishly didn't put in new springs while I was at it. I don't rev the engine high, and it's just a street/dd, but I'm wondering if having the lower tension springs is hurting my performance, even at lower rpms. I just read on a site that "As long...

...very quickly Hey guys, I've got a 66 with a decent system in it and was wondering how most cars can have their systems blaring with the car off for a long time and have enough power to start it later. Is it something newer cars have to prolong the charge or simply that my system draws a...

Couldn't find anythin in search so here goes I'm going to be buying a 4 row brass radiator custom fit for a mustang as soon as no one here says I'm making a huge mistake. I'm lookin at this one: 4 Row Radiator I gave up on finding a nice aluminum one because all the ones I've seen...

Well...I've posted a few times that my car seems "weak" at times and hesitates occasionally. I'm starting to think this may be due to my alternator. When I got a brand new battery about two weeks ago, the car started quick, the exhaust seemed louder and more "peppy", and the car just seemed to...

Went to a few dealerships today looking at cars for my friend. He's only 18, but due to a relative passing away and a car accident, he has quite a bit of money to spend on a new car. First we stopped by the nissan dealership to check out 350Zs. Personally, I don't really like em, but he liked...

Hey guys, I'm weighting my options of what my next upgrade should be...im stuck between suspension, exhaust and valvetrain. It's lookin as suspension is gonna be too expensive so I'm either gonna go with an O/R H, 40 flows and new tips OR roller rockers, new springs and hardened pushrods...
