    Improving Clearance For Dash Speakers And Factory Door Wiring On An 89 Lx

    I have an '89 LX 'vert that is mostly stock. After living with the crap-tastic factory cassette player for 20k miles, I finally decided to upgrade it. My car has the 4-speaker non-premium factory system. It has 2 dash speakers and 2 rear speakers, but it doesn't have door speakers. I have a...

    HELP! 1990 LX 5.0--DeAd

    My '90 LX has been acting up. It would run fine, and then die at random. (It was as if the car was turned off....dead.) It usually started again. I changed the fuel filter, cleaned the TPS and MAF. Well, it's still acting up. After work today, it just refused to run. It cranks fine...

    Power Steering problem 89 5.0

    My 89 5.0 LX has developed a problem this year. Once the car is warmed up, the power steering pretty much stops working at very low speeds. It feels fine when I start the car and pull it out of the garage, and I don't notice anything wrong when I'm driving around town or on the highway. But...

    5.0 doesn't fire on first crank

    Hey, I know this is a minor beef, but the stang started doing something over the last couple of weeks. After it has sat for several hours, my 89 5.0 won't fire when I first try to crank it over.

The only problem on the car I noticed before buying it was that the ATF looked like it hadn't been changed for a while. So after I purchased the car, I replaced the transmission filter and gasket, and then did a...

    Top frame allignment problem

    Hey there, I've had my Mustang about a month, and now that the weather is finally warming up, I've been able to put the top down and enjoy the car. The two times I have put the parade boot on the car, the top wouldn't line up afterwards. Both times, the studs for the top were about an inch to...

    Phantom coolant leak/heater core question

    Hey all, my 89 5.0 has developed a mystery coolant leak. After I've driven the car and park it, I can smell coolant. It will leave a few drops on the pavement that seem to be about where the firewall is. I figured that it was the heater core, because this morning the windshield steamed up after...

    Rim weight question: AFS vs Pony

    Hey there, first time post here. I've been lurking for a while. Just bought a bone-stock 89 LX vert w/ 69K miles on it. I'm thinking about upgrading to either the 16" pony wheels or possibly the AFS Cobra R wheels. (Yeah, I know that everyone and their dawg has these on their car, but I still...
