Hey guys I need your advice...I need to get a new windshield installed since I got a ticket for mine being cracked. Also, I've got a bunch of electrical/wiring problems and an exhaust leak that needs to be looked at. I'm wondering where you guys go to get work done in the Western Suburbs...I'm...

Guys, this doesn't seem all that serious, I'm pretty sure it's the alternator, but all of you know more than me so why not access that knowledge. My car had trouble starting; classic electrical characteristics...lights dimming, declining cranking power. I put a new battery in becuase the...

My car (mods in signature) vs. '02 GT with intake and a catback. I've ridden in it; I think I have him down low but that 4.6 really screams around 4 grand. We both have good tires and short shifters btw.

I'm thinking of going WAY cheap here and asking TMOSS to port a stock lower intake manifold off of eBay...is it worth it with my mods? Is it worth it at all for the $?

The headers have been leaking for way too long now and I've decided that it angers me enough to reinstall them...I'm wondering where I can find replacement gaskets and (preferably) locking bolts for the BBK 1 3/4" chrome shorty unequal 5.0 headers. Thanks. -Kevin

...with a stock TB on an 86 5.0.

Simple question. Planning on having a catted x-pipe but its stock for now. Will it pass with either setup? I've heard as long as you have cats you'll pass. Yes this is a D/D and I'm in IL. :shrug:

I'm ready to move my battery and was wondering if anyone remembers the steps or can provide a link so I'm not doing this by sight alone...I know everyone suggests an Optima battery and some have a fabricated trunk floor that hires wires...I'm more concerned about where to run the wires and how...

So my car is up on jackstands right now...and I noticed a gray burnt smelling oil coming from where the driveshaft connects to the transmission. Which sucks. How urgent a problem is this? Secondly, I can't find the filler or drain plugs on the tranny. What I see is the speedometer cable and its...

First of all...will a (for example only) BBK X or H-pipe make more power/sound better (power being more important? Secondly, are either one of these worth $399.88 like in the Summit catalog? Are there any worthy alternatives? If it helps your input, I have BBK unequal shorty headers and a...

Is there anywhere I can find directions on how to completely remove the smog pump? And by that I mean capping off all needed vacums and hoses to make the car run as it did prior to the procedure. Also, is any power gained by doing this?...or is it just a small parasitic power thing that bothers...

I'm getting new tires for my pony rims. What does everyone have on their ponies and are they a good all season tire? Good launching and cornering? Also, where are some good places to buy from around the Chicagoland area, considering Tirerack.com completely lied to me about my Pirelli P-Zero's...

My 1986 GT is getting new BBK shorty headers...and after searching the forum I've found nothing but bad news about headers in general. Let's settle this crap...will the gaskets and bolts that come with the BBK headers work or will they be a vagina for the next couple years? Someone also said...

Pulled codes and got a 676 - transmission in malfunctioning in 1st gear and reverse. As sad as it is considering that I bought this car not too long ago, I was wondering what the next step would be. Thanks. :nonono: :nonono: :nonono:

Spill the beans on your short shifter...this is the only one I found on eBay...sorta skeptical. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33736&item=7938013889&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW :shrug:

I just bought some BBK shorty headers with gaskets and bolts (not equal length) and have a bad leak in the current ones...want to make sure it gets done right obviously...does anyone know of a good exhaust/mustang shop around Chi-town?

I paid two thousand dollars for this car. That's really all that need to be said. Enjoy. http://hilltop.bradley.edu/~award/ :nice:

My car stutters frequently like it has no gas and theres a loud hum from the back of the car when it is stopped. It is a 5 spd 86 GT with a rebuilt 5.0. I'm guessing pretty uneducatedly that it is the fuel pump but I know that people here might have alot more to add and other ways to...

Battery drained...accesories come on the first time but the second and third times trying to start it everything is dead. My radio stopped coming on about a week ago. All the fuses are fine though. Battery was supposedly good and all. Is it a loose connection? Bad starter? Grounded wire? Bad...
