    I feel like I'm getting bored of the mustang

    Well I feel ashamed to say it but I feel like im getting bored with the Mustang. I don't know if i could ever sell it, but it seems like these days the mustang just sits in the garage and stays clean, I've done damn near everything i can do to it short of a new motor and don't plan on it. It is...

    Will lowering springs from my 99 gt work on my 87?

    Deleting map light and sun visors????

    Do they make a delete piece or kit for the map light or the sun visors?

    Why switch to 5 lug?

    Well im wanting to put a new set of wheels on my 87 but am debating whether to switch to 5 lug or not before i do. Besides having more wheel options by switching to 5 lug, why do people do it? Is it really worth the money or should i just go ahead and get a set of 4 lug wheels that i like?

    Converting power doors and windows to manual question???

    Is it possible to convert the power door-locks and windows in my 87 to manual? I don't think I have EVER owned a fox that had adequate working power door locks or windows. Instead of fixing them id rather just convert it to manual. Do they make a kit? Has anyone done this?

    3" Exhaust Cat-back, Worth it?

    Wondering if it would be worth the money at this point to get a 3" catback fabricated for my car. Right now I'm running the stock catback with weld-in mufflers. Would I see much of any gains from it? I would think I would see a gain going from the stock 2.25 exhaust piping to the 3" with my...
