    Nitrous Tank Blew!!!!!

    The car is a hatch but I installed a blow down tube-thank God!!! The car was in the shade and I've had the car in 100 degree temps before with no trouble. It was both scary and also pretty *****in' cool-except that i just filled the bottle and was watching my $40 float away.

    Nitrous Tank Blew!!!!!

    I just filled my nitrous tank, 10lb bottle and they only filled it with 9 1/2 lbs. Its 68 degrees with high humidity and the tank was filled about 3 hours ago. It sounded like a a tire explosion and then covered the ground with a real creepy fog. The safety valve is 9 months old and the...

    I miss my fox

    I know how you feel but exactly opposite. I used to have a 01 Bullitt and loved that car, sold it and bought a 91 and restored it fully and think its just "okay." But that's good news for you because its now for sale-check out the classifieds or pm me. -Andy

    Dying Seat belts, Anybody done this?

    What would have been his injuries if he had not been wearing a seatbelt? Don't use Rit Dye, it won't work on the seatbelt because they are nylon (I tried). Use black vinyl spray, you'll be very pleased. Also, use your seat belt, you're not smarter than major car manufacturer engineers.

    Dying Seat belts, Anybody done this?

    I painted my grey belts with black vinyl spray, Granted they are not black but rather charcoal grey, similar to my 03 cobra seats and the seats in my old Bullitt. They are holding up well after several months and several thousand miles and would require a simple touch up to look great again.

    Cool new Driveline mod (Reduce vibes)-cheap!!

    I've done all the normal vibe reducing stuff, in fact just replaced my 4.10's to 3.55's and that made a big difference. This mod was just a shot in the dark and it worked! Props to me. Seriously, somebody else try this.

    Cool new Driveline mod (Reduce vibes)-cheap!!

    I just picked up a tranny tailshaft vibration dampner from a Mazda 929. It bolts to the tailshaft of the tranny and is a heavy metal plate with two large blocks of rubber. I used a piece of angle iron to bolt it to my T-5 tailshaft and just tested it out-it works great!! It greatly...

    Fuel injector leak question

    Yep, that was almost me. I pulled over when I smelled the gas and discovered the leak. I twisted the fuel injector and it stopped leaking. I did drive it about one mile home (I know, I know). After reading some threads I discovered the broken tab. I fabricated some brackets to hold the fuel...

    Fuel injector leak question

    I just found the problem, the metal mounting tab on the fuel rail is broken allowing the entire rail to move back and forth, looks like I'll be replacing that.

    Fuel injector leak question

    While driving tonight i smelled gas and pulled over and discovered a fuel injector leaking just under the fuel rail. When I wiggled the rail it sprayed gas out in a neat stream. While waiting on a tow I decided to twist/spin the injector around and when I started the car-no more leak! I was...

    Which gear? Not usual question I promise!!

    91 LX with H/C/I with 100hp nitrous. I've got 4.10's now. I've always had a vibe from the rear end, used to be BAD now its tolerable (normal solutions). I've developed some rear end noises recently along with needing the trac loc to be rebuilt. Now, I've read about the "critical speed"...

    Griffin aluminum radiator install

    So, the aluminum radiator dropped the highest temp from 230 degrees to 210 degrees in traffic but it went right back down to 190 when moving, big improvement in 100 degree heat. Seems like I might need more fan but I've got the Black Magic "S" blade fan rated at 3300 cfm. I think I'll live...

    Griffin aluminum radiator install

    Just installed a 2 row Griffin Aluminum radiator. My car's been running hot since H/C/I install. I first replaced the stock one row with a 3 row replacement off e-bay. Worked fine until 90 degress or so and then the temp would creep to 215, even 230 once!! So far, so good, had the car idle...

    86 earlier 1/4 window on 87+

    Would the sail panels attach to the newer style glass? Meaning, keep 1991 glass and attach the louvers to the outside of the glass? Thanks

    86 earlier 1/4 window on 87+

    I think most people go the opposite route but I like the louvered look. Can I put a 86 and earlier louvered 1/4 window on my 91? Who sells them? Thanks Andy

    Can't get my O2's out!

    Try PB blaster again. Soak them every 30 minutes and let them sit for hours while occasionally banging on the side of the O2 nut. PB blaster will break the rust free but it can only work on the rust it touches. All that rust acts as a dam to block the oil from getting to the lower threads.

    How can you trace down something in the car drawing power from the battery?

    Check the sunvisor lights if you have them.

    seat belt conversion

    You can use newer seat belts, I did when i swapped in some 03 Cobra seats. I was able to simply bolt the passenger side in after bending some tabs to get the right angle. However, I couldn't get the driver's side to work correctly. So... I put the 03 buckle on the 91 seat belt. I had to...
