    1999 Mustang VIN Location

    I'm in the process of (attempting) to give my '99 Mustang to my cousin. Unfortunately, she lives in PA and this is causing some issues. The car is currently in NJ, but it is not registered, inspected, or insured. So I sent her the title so she could take care of the registration and such...

    Evap Leak? Not my week for car repair.

    Well not only am I getting a busted cat replaced that's gonna put a dent in my wallet, but my car is also putting out a code for an evap leak. The code popped up last week and my mechanic replaced the gas cap, hoping it was a simple problem because he felt the gas cap was a little loose...

    Stock Cat Busted - What to replace with?

    I meant 3.8L, just a typo. Its hard to forget since most toilets are 3.8L per flush (Kind of comical). And by an aftermarket exhaust, I meant more getting them both replaced. Looking online, a brand-new MAC H-pipe with two cats is $369, and I saw one site that priced an OEM Ford cat at...

    Busted My Cat - What to Replace With?

    I don't know how I did it, but I busted my drivers side cat. I noticed a rattling noise, and yesterday I knocked on the cat and it rattled like a can full of rocks and the heat shield seems pretty solidly in place, so it seems like the guts cracked (the passenger side cat is still fine). The...

    Stock Cat Busted - What to replace with?

    Sorry to invade the 4.6L forums again, but no one posts in the 3.6L forums anymore, and when they do, they don't generally know too much it seems. I don't know how I did it, but I busted my drivers side cat. I noticed a rattling noise, and yesterday I knocked on the cat and it rattled like a...

    Transmission leak

    Just for the record, what would that seal be called? I'm having a similar problem and if I start looking around "for that seal between the trans and the drive shaft" it might be a pain to locate :)

    Uneven Rear Brake Wear

    Thanks :) I didn't even think about that. THe wear is even across the pad, just not between the two pads. I'll just clean everything up and hopefully it works out. Thanks again.

    Uneven Rear Brake Wear

    Sorry to invade, but no one seems to look at the V6 forums anymore, so I'll steal some expertise from you guys. Brakes are brakes :) Went to change my rear brakes yesterday, and two of the 8 brake pad clips were broken, so I had to leave it up overnight till I can get some new clips. Because...

    Uneven Brake Wear

    Ok, went to change my brakes today, and two of the 8 brake pad clips were broken, so I had to leave it up overnight till I can get some new clips. Because of the delay, I was looking at the old pads, and noticed that the inside drivers side pad was noticeably more worn than the outer pad. Not...

    First ticket in the stang :(

    Well, it took about six months, and at least I was smart enough to do it out of state so only 2 points get brought over to NJ instead of the 5 I would have gotten here. I was going between Cranberry, PA and Butler, PA at a paintball tournament Friday, and just me in the first in the car so I...

    Rice Gone Wrong...

    Yeah its hard to tell whats going on in a few of the clips. The one where they both just stall out at the track is a classic :)

    Snow Handling

    I'd reccomend snow tires, at least in the back. I had some problems with traction this winter (first winter with the car though, so maybe toss it up to a learning curve for the extra power and RWD over my old saturn) I live on a hill, though, and trying to get up that hill if it isn't...

    Eaton M90 SC

    I actually looked at this a while ago because I could have gotten an Eaton cheap. Basically, the "easiest" way to do it involves changing your engine back to a single-port, but this causes you to lose the 40ish HP gain the 99+'s had over the pre-99 models. So you are giving up 40 HP right...

    2000 Mustang Vs. Sentra SER

    Hrm it'd be close. Remember, his car is going to be lighter than yours by about 300 lbs. You could take him off the line, but there'd be some close moments I think. Those SE-Rs are quick, had I not gotten my mustang I would have gotten one of them. It'd be a close race, I'd like the...

    Chrome Spinner? WTF?

    They'd look a lot better than the stock rims on my 99 v6 too, but I heard a rumor they don't fit.
