    Painting Brake Calipers?

    I have mixed feelings on this. How does everyone feel on painting brake calipers. My car is torch red and I'm thinking about painting my brake calipers the matching color. Any thoughts?

    Basic suspension setup? 99 SVT Cobra Vert

    I have a 99 SVT Cobra Convertible and want to put some new suspension on it. I am obviously looking to improve both the handling and the appearance (lowered). The problem is, as many of you experience, "money". I'm getting married June 3rd and will have a hard time justifying a large chunk of...

    My 99 - Hydraulic or Mechanical Clutch?

    This may be a stupid question that I could figure out myself but I'm busy at work and can't go look at the car right now. On my 99 SVT Cobra do I have a hydraulic or mechanical clutch? I'm about to pick up a new clutch before I take my car to the shop. The mechanic suggested an SVL Clutch...

    99 SVT Cobra Suspension Suggestions

    I have a 99 SVT Cobr Vert that I bought several months ago. I absolutely love the car and the performance it gives. The one thing I feel I NEED to do however is upgrade the suspension. I think about 1.5 inch drop would work nicely. Does anyone have any suggestions on what springs, struts...

    Wheel Lock lost

    On my 95GT the special "key" for the front right lug nut wheel lock has been lost. This pretty much makes it impossible for me to get the wheel off. Does anyone know another way to get the wheel off or where I can buy a new "key" that will work on this car? Thanks for any input.

    Clunking in front of car

    My car is going into the shop tomorrow to be looked at but I wanted to know some of your thoughts. My car has this clunking noise (not rattling) in the front left of the car. It is not associated with the engine or transmission. It is often but not necesarrily associated with bumps. It can...

    OT: Anyone going to Epping tomorrow night?

    I was just running Regular since I've had the car but today I just filled it with Premium to see if it makes a difference. Hopefully it will. Secondly, I'm still learning more and more each day but don't know how to adjust my timing yet. I've seen many posts on pinging in 95 Mustangs but...

    OT: Anyone going to Epping tomorrow night?

    I'm wanting to go. I've been there once before with a different car but am still pretty new to the whole race scene. I really want to run my car (probably only low 15s is my guess) but it needs to be tuned up first and I don't think I'll get it done in time. Its pinging pretty loudly in the...

    Wheel size considerations?

    Thanks everyone for the help so far....that last post addressed one more issue I forgot to ask. I am installing Eibach Pro Kit springs (lower 1 1/2"). Will that create a problem with that size wheel?

    Wheel size considerations?

    I am looking into buying new rims (once I have the money) and would like something around the size of 18" x 9". I currently have the stock GT wheels(16"). If I get 18" x 9" is there anything else I would need to consider? Will those wheels fit with no problems or are there extra parts or...

    Installing new exhaust, any help?

    Thanks so much for the help guys. Me and my friend installed the exhaust on Sunday and it worked great. I have to re-tighten one of the bolts because the drivers side tailpipe is hitting the frame a bit but otherwise it is perfect. I really like the sound and am happy with the exhaust...

    Suspension suggestions?

    I just bought the Eibach Pro Kit springs and am now looking for shocks and struts for my car before I start the installation. Does anyone have suggestions? I was looking at Tokico or Koni's but they are real expensive. Is it really worth the extra price or is there something cheaper with...

    Need estimates: rwhp, 1/4mi, next mod

    I also have a 95 GT AOD. Thinking about gears. I see you suggest a 4:10 because it is an AOD. I've heard elsewhere that I should choose 3:73s because it is my every day driver. Any clarification on the suggestions and the reasoning behind it? I'm still fairly new to a lot of this. Thanks.

    Installing new exhaust, any help?

    I also meant to ask, will we need any type of welding done? Either to cut off or for installation? Maybe thats what the sawzall is for. I didn't think we would need welding but I wasn't sure.

    Installing new exhaust, any help?

    I went with the American Thunder, need both power and sound :nice: We opened the box last night and it looks pretty easy. Flowmaster.com also has a short installation video. I'm sure it will be no problem (hopefully didn't jinx myself)
