    squeaky ball joints fix?!

    I bought the cobra A-arms with the new ball joints... wasn't too bad of a swap. These other methods seem pretty half arsed. Do it right the first time... but if you are going to get new A-arms, think about where your going with the setup, i.e. would you ever go for tubulars w/ coilovers, or is...

    Are our foglights 12v? Can I use the power from one as a power source for nitrous?

    Just something to think about... If you use that line, wont you have to have your lights on to use the foglight switch, or at least the parking lights? I can't remember if the lights have to be on or not...

    Idle problem when warm

    test your 02 sensors. The manual tells me that there's supposed to be a certain ohmage across the sensor. I got that reading when testing the two white wires. I think it's like 6ohms. I bought a new 02 sensor and am installing it tomorrow. btw, I have the same problem as you, but not as drastic.

    lookie what i did!!!

    Hey, Thanks for turning me onto Ken, he's awesome... he did my 4pt rollbar and I'm going back there in the next few weeks to install my subframes and cats on my x pipe. I have a thread on the West Coast forums about him.

    Basic Stang electrical question... capacitor?

    I was going to suggest what Stanger007 suggested... A higher output alternator. I was thinking of that for my car w/ the same issue. Not sure what the tradeoffs would be.... gas from bumping your idle VERSUS money spent on a new alternator

    Roll cage rule info needed

    I think you need a 6 point. I wouldn't think you need to cut anything out... just check out some pics Rhodes Custom, Autoweldchassis, wolfe racecraft, maximum motorsports, autopower... to name a few rollbar places

    Connect RollBar to Subframes ???

    If I remember correctly, you've got Global West full lengths and a 4pt chromoly bar... Is there a reason you didn't do this? Or have you? I'm going to guess and say it's b/c you would have had to weld to the chromoly.

    Connect RollBar to Subframes ???

    Hmm, that's a good point... the main hoop might not even be over the location the sfc will lay. Although I would think that the 6x6" plate under the main hoop would extend to their location. Again, I don't really know where the sfc mounting location is. Too bad I didn't think about those...

    Connect RollBar to Subframes ???

    I probably did... but I just bought the MM full lengths The through the floor SFC seem really inconvenient too, not for the driver, but passenger and rear. But nobody is ever going to sit in the back again. Other than convenience, do the through the floor SFC really provide a great...

    Connect RollBar to Subframes ???

    Cool, thanks for the responses guys... I'm sure we'll come up with something now... probably either 1. run a bar through the floor to connect to the main hoop 2. just weld a plate from the subs to the bottomside of the floorboard of where the mainhoop attatches to the floorboard, so it...

    Connect RollBar to Subframes ???

    Hey stroker, I just responded to your post about rear mounting location. http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=672899 is the address of the pics. What do you think about ProKiller's idea for the subframe to rollbar connection... is that what you were thinking?

    Connect RollBar to Subframes ???

    That is a very good idea, I didn't even think of that. Many "pinch" the floorboard with two metal plates... it wouldn't be very hard to connect another plate on the bottomside since I only connected the main hoop to the floorboard via a plate on the topside. Thanks for the suggestion.

    CARPET

    I got ebay carpet and don't appreciate the quality... i didn't know carpet could shed like that. Make sure you leave the carpet in the sun or heat it up so it settles in better. I'm starting to regret all the "go for the best deal and worry about quality later" attitude I used to have...

    Connect RollBar to Subframes ???

    Is there any reason NOT to connect the rollbar to the subframes? I've searched this topic and didn't find anything on it. I don't like how the rollbar's main hoop is welded to the floorboards, that doesn't sit well with me. So I was thinking, why not tie in the rollbar to the subframes...

    INSTALLED: 4pt 'Vert Rollbar w/ removable crossbar

    I think at a certain point you need a 6 point anyhow... this was pretty much to quell the chatter from the fiancee's mom. Also, if I ever get that fast and have a problem with tech, I'll get the extra side bars and weld in a solid crossbar. After all is said and done, I see no point to a...

    so do I :)... It's been months since I've had a backseat ... and years since anyone's say back there. I don't think anyone's ever going to now.

    INSTALLED: 4pt 'Vert Rollbar w/ removable crossbar

    actually i don't at the moment, when I get the seat in (hopefully within the month) i'll get some good all around shots. the bar is actually mounted quite perpendicularly with respect to the car, it's basically vertical and doesn't really flow at the same angle of the windows. So, that's a...
