    I'm in love!

    Well said. Yes, it is comparing apples to oranges, whereas I'm comparing the thrill of performance to the thrill of performance. To each his own, but very few of us only enjoy performance in a Mustang, we would get a woody driving a Viper or Ferrari and generally enjoy going fast. Would most of...

    I'm in love!

    PEACE, people! :nono: It's a MOTORCYCLE, not a fragmentation grenade! I have a friend who has a Busa and I do have the utmost respect for this machine. As for all the rhetoric about "a big, heavy bike" anything bigger than a 250 weighs 350-450 lbs, the Busa weighs 478. Hell, some of the big...

    what to get to lower my car, plus a paint question

    P.S.- Love Steeda lowering springs, looks good without being all stupid down in the weeds and snakes foreskins level and are designed to HANDLE well. I got the stiffest (competition) springs they have and the car corners like a go-kart- a lane change typically scares the caca out of SOMEBODY...

    what to get to lower my car, plus a paint question

    Actually it is made by Dupont, I assume you could get some from someone for the right price. G6/7099 Mystic Chrome Effect it is called for 2004 Ford Colors. Call your local (brother-in-law maybe) bodyshop and have them find out what it costs before you decide! :jaw:

    No one will install my SFCs or H pipe in Columbus

    A local muffler shop did my SFC's for not much money, and I did the H-pipe. Just make sure you have several different length extensions and a cheater pipe to bust those nuts loose. After 17 years my were a bit recalcitrant...

    no throaty sound with new 40 series flows

    I put my Delta Flows on my stock H-pipe and it sounded ten times better and twice as loud as before. THEN when I put my offroad H on and dumped them it sounded WAY badass! :nice:

    Clutch Firewall adjuster Q'

    Highly recommend the firewall adjuster. Stock adjuster is a piece of shiite. Install is about an hour of pure cramped tedium, but well worth it. Couple hints if you don't do a search for the full install instructions- If you are over 5'8" or 165 lbs, take the seat OUT. If you are under, lean...

    Targa top fox body Mustang?

    As a T-Top owner, I would say don"t even THINK about the targa unless you are putting in a cage. With the (lack of) torsional and longitudinal stiffness in a Fox body my guess is it would snap in half lengthwise. :rlaugh: Seriously, before I installed subframes going across railroad tracks at...

    lowering springs ?

    Steeda. Huge improvement in appearance, and these guys tune their springs for performance as well as looks. It's not all about "slam it down in the weeds" with no regard for handling.

    best places to jack car?

    (Trying VERY hard to keep a straight face) Not to "jack" the thread, but my car is similarly close to the ground, and I use a simple two-step process. There's this thing called a "jack" in my hatch area, I put it under the "jacking rail" on one side closer to the end I want to raise, and raise...

    Having issues with my 87

    Hey, welcome to the board! Never heard of synthetic making a car run hotter, most likely just some function of your cooling system such as radiator aging and clogging up with gunk. The reason the tach doesn't work is because even when they are functional stock gauges are pieces of ****...

    Thinking of new Battery

    My red top just touched the hood liner on the front corner when it was in the stock location. Relo to trunk of course makes it a moot point... :) P.S.- Almost stock- that under-hood is just CRAZY!!! Now we know what the engine would look like if Monk drove a Mustang....

    X-pipe or H-pipe?

    Ah, the debate goes on.... Fact: power is the same within a single-figure range +/-. Essentially it comes down to sound preference, H is more deep and ballsy-sounding and X is more snarly, raspy European in sound.

    Headlight fuse (#4) blowing, why?

    Thanks for the info- replaced it with a 15 and the same thing happened! Something must be in direct short, what do I check?

    Headlight fuse (#4) blowing, why?

    I searched, but with the legendary suck factor of the Fox lighting systems I was buried in so many threads I couldn't find this particular problem. Every time I replace my #4 fuse (10 amp) it blows as soon as I install it. Can someone please tell me what and how to check to find the short?

    battery relocation tech Q:

    If this is true, it is not applicable with the Optima. They have circular wound substrate material, think of 6 slim rolls of toilet paper packed inside the case. You can mount it any position you want to, it doesn't matter.

    install catback w/o car off ground

    I don't mind working under one end of a car, but getting the entire thing up high enough on jack stands to work under makes me paranoid as hell. All it takes is too much push one direction (and the torque numbers for some under-car components are three digits!) and the entire thing falls on...

    Car is way too loud! wats wrong

    i did the exact same thing you did, drove it to the muffler shop with open pipes (can you say NASCAR sound?!?) and after the flows were installed it was about a quarter as loud. Something must be seriously screwed up with that install, take it back.
