    NBC unveils new KITT Ford Mustang

    sorry, that article wasn't on the homepage yet when i posted btw, i love the bullitt because it's understated. this is the complete opposite and i'm just glad the tv movie will flop and hardly anyone will see it anyways. interesting about the "attack mode" thing too, it's been so long...

    NBC unveils new KITT Ford Mustang

    doesn't the second picture just look like a stock GT-500 with flat black stripes? I'm not positive though, i don't know the GT-500 that well. Here's a better view of the grille and front bumper: ugh.. equally hideous. looks like someone cut some slits in a piece of cardboard and...

    NBC unveils new KITT Ford Mustang

    Apparently, Michael Knight has ditched his trans-am in favor of a mustang for NBC's made for tv movie "Knight Rider." Personally, I don't know what they were thinking when they designed this mustang. The bodywork and odd dual wings are incredibly gawky. About the only nice thing I can say about...

    strange brake noise

    finally got rid of it!!!!!! i found a good install guide for a granada swap, and realized that the anti-rattle clip on the inboard pads need to be installed on the trailing edge (towards the rear) of the pad. i had them installed, but they were on the leading edge (towards the front of the...

    strange brake noise

    one more thing, about how much brake travel should there be for a 66 with manual granada brakes? or is that dependent upon too many factors? i think the pedal might be a bit too soft, but the brakes were so bad before i don't really have anything to compare it to.

    strange brake noise

    i did use this red disc brake quiet stuff. I don't remember if i put an anti-rattle clip on mine. do you need one on the inside and outside pads? geostang- did you use an anti-rattle clip on yours? from the pictures i've seen it seems like that would remove the possibility of the pad moving...

    Recentering a rearend?

    i noticed the same thing in my 66, only its offset to the right. the passenger side rear occaisionally rubs, but there is plenty of clearence on the driver's side. i haven't measured, but i believe its offset about 1". I have no reason to believe that mine was in an accident either

    strange brake noise

    that makes me feel a little better. the problem hasn't gotten worse in almost two years, and the brakes have never lost pressure, pedal has never gone to the floor or anything like that. the problem is, circumstances have forced me to put the car up for sale, and i'd never try to hide the...

    strange brake noise

    I installed everything that came with the kit. I think it was definately a granada swap because the calipers are floating single piston. Also, the spindles that were included had some sleeves in them so that the outer tie rods didn't need to be changed. the problem is frustrating because its so...

    strange brake noise

    sorry in advance for the length, but i want to give as much info as possible. i have a 66 with a 289 and have recently upgraded to a front disc brake setup. the kit i bought was essentially a granada swap with new parts. it came with spindles with sleeves in them to accomodate the original...

    please help with hard shifting tranny

    i bought my mustang a couple years ago looking to drive it on the weekends and fix the minor problems it had. one of these problems is a very hard 3-2 downshift in the c-4 tranny. I was told it was rebuilt about a year or two before i bought it, but the problem seems to be getting worse...

    help needed...tire rub in a bad place

    beautiful car! love the location too (i'm living in downtown long beach right now). maybe someday i'll get my car show worthy and see yours in person. sorry, wasn't trying to get off topic. i'm having the same problems with my front tires. i've decided to go from 225's to 215's up front...

    front wheel scrub, can i have them machined?

    good call ron, thanks for all the help guys. i guess i'm gonna have an extra set of rear tires very soon. this calls for a few burnouts :nice:

    front wheel scrub, can i have them machined?

    i did consider it, but i think i'll try getting a realignment first. if that doesn't work, i guess i'll have no choice but to get either new wheels with more backspacing or skinnier tires. i hope the difference between 215's and 225's is not that noticeable, i love how agressive wider tires on...

    front wheel scrub, can i have them machined?

    you were right dodgestang, they are 3.75 and you were also right ron, the paint is worn on the lower front edge of the fender on the passenger side, but the driver's side looks like its rubbing it the top of the fender. what about removing some material from the disc rotor where it...
