    Hey guys I'm about to buy some new Tokico Illumina shocks and struts tomorrow for my car. Since I will be lowering it with C springs... do I need to buy the 87-93 shocks and struts, or will the 94+ ones work fine (they won't bottom out?)? Or do I need to have two of one kind and two of...

    Port matched PI intake

    Will a port matched PI intake fit my NPI heads or will the ports be too big? Will a superchip programmed for a PI w/ gears, o/r midpipe and advanced timing work for my NPI GT as well? :SNSign:

    Best place to buy gears in Canada?

    Hey guys I was wondering where the cheapest place to order gears was in Canada? I was thinking of getting them from AmericanMuscle... but it's $97 to ship here plus I'm sure there will be duty taxes at the border. It comes to about $407 CDN total. However I don't think it comes with bearings...

    Where to buy tires from?

    I'm thinking about buying rims and tires for my car this summer. I just looked at Canadian Tire and for Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 a 275/40/17 tire costs $383 and a 315/35/17 $481 each. That's f--king crazy money to spend on tires. Where's a good place to buy/order tires from in Canada?

    Weird Noise by Center Console

    My car is making this weird noise sometimes when I stop or put on the breaks enough to get a bit of "body movement" with the car. It doesn't do it on a gradual stop. Today for the first time it did it while I was accelerating from a stop in first gear. The sound is like if you take a long...

    Rough clutch pedal or grindy shifting

    Before my clutch pedal was depressing smoothly, but then my transmission was shifting like crap, especially when cold. It would grind and just not go into the gear that nicely. Now I read on here about adjusting the clutch. So I did the press it down, then slide my foot off the pedal thing...

    Revving at other stangs

    I was just wondering what peoples opinion is on this. If another stang is driving by you, and they give their engine a rev... do you view that as an insult or just a friendly gesture amongst stang owners? I mean, if you see the guy glaring at you and revving his car, then obviously it isn't...

    Gears in the winter?

    What gear ratio would be best for a 1997 Mustang GT 5spd that is winter driven and has the occasional highway trip (upwards of 1.5 hours) (edit: driven in summer too)? I'm tempted to go 4.10's... but I don't want to get them and regret it in the winter or while driving on the highway. I've got...

    Any 94-98 V6'ers want a Rio Red GT spoiler?!

    I've got a 97 GT trunklid with a GT spoiler on it that I want to trade for a V6 trunklid with no spoiler and no holes in it. My trunk is Rio Red and in good condition and so should be the trunk to be traded. I'm in the Melfort area right now, and travel to Saskatoon once in awhile. A...

    Shifter vibrations

    Hey everyone. I have a problem with my shifter in my 97GT. Whats wrong is that when I'm driving it in 3rd gear, and accelerate around 2000rpm, my shifter vibrates quite a bit. It moves back and forth about a 1/4 of an inch very rapidly. It moves enough so that you can hear it shaking, and it...

    Launching Problem w/Exhaust

    My exhaust revs up fine with the clutch in, as well as if its in neutral. But whenever I am driving in 1st gear and accelerate fast my exhaust seems to kind of bark rapidly. I think it started doing that after I was driving on a rough gravel road and it scraped under my car. I went underneath...
