    So none of my friends know the answer to this question, so I thought I would throw it out here and see if anyone knows. As some of you know, I am looking at buying a new car. My question is what will I get taxed on? The price of the vehicle (27, 590 - 2,500rebates) or the remaining sum of the...

    Question about tune...

    I am thinking about taking my long tubes off, and just running an offroad h pipe with stock manifolds until my transmission issues are fixed. I realized this weekend that I can't drop the tranny with the long tubes on, so I don't want to keep dropping the k member to drop the tranny. Will this...

    Anyone here into Jeeps?

    With winter around the corner I have been researching jeeps, so I can leave the mustang in the garage when it snows. What should I look for in a jeep? How many miles are the motors good for? I'm not too picky, so I have been looking at the wrangler, cherokee and grand cherokee - most of which...

    Who has done a T56 swap?

    I was originally going to install a used TR3650 for as long as it would hold up, but there is no way I am going through all that work, just to do it again. Now I am thinking about going T56.... as cheap as I can. I know I can get a rebuilt unit for 1700, a shifter for 200, and a crossmember for...

    Questions about the trans swap....

    Ok, I finally found a donar trans for my car. Its a used 3650 out of a 2002 mustang, just like mine. I was looking at beefed up tansmissions to swap in, but my employer put my on a 3 day work week, so $350 for a used tranny was all I could muster up. I have never done any tranny work before...

    Ethanol question..

    So last night I was filling up at a brand new quick trip in town. After My tank was about half full I saw a sticker on the pump that said "May contain up to 10% ethenol". Is all gas like this now, and I just hadn't noticed? Or should I not get gas at this quick trip any more? This might be a...

    Will a T-45 work??

    I am trying to figure out the best way to get my tranny fixed. I am BROKE right now and have no money to invest into my car. I have seen that pro-motion has built T-45's for less than the 3650's... can you do a direct swap on these tranny's? Or is there a cheaper alternative? I am not sure about...

    Another wonderful saturday night at the track...

    Last night was the first time I have been out at the track with the mongoose kit, I was stoked to see what she would run! On my first pass I took it fairly easy, cleaned the tires off- but didnt do a huge burn out. I ran a 13.4 @ 108 with a 2.1 60'. I thought this was pretty damn good, because I...

    Subframe connectors- Some questions...

    So I am thinking that a set of subframe connectors would be a good idea. I am going to go with the Maximum Motorsport's XL connectors- but I have a couple of questions.... Is it worth it to get the powder coated ones, since they have to grind some of it off? Of should I get the bare steel...

    My 3rd Bosch wideband sensor since November just crapped out on me!!!!! I am so pissed! The first two, I THOUGHT, were because my intercooler piping came apart, and now I'm not so sure...
