    mounting an aftermarket amplifier in 93 mustang gt

    The main problems with floor mounting amplifiers are foot traffic and garbage and moisture from a dirty/wet carpet. That said, there is very limited room in the 5.0, so alternate places are not always feasible. Don't worry about the bottom of the amp, it is not designed to mainly dissipate heat...

    ACC hatch area carpet.

    I put mine in a few weeks ago, and the fit didn't seem factory, the backs don't fit the same way and the floor is over cut compared to stock (i think). I just lined it up as good as i could and screwed down the backs and pushed and pulled the fold point until it looked okay. It seems like a few...

    map pockets in a '90?

    I used left over black vinyl to cover that pocket panel, pretty easy to do if your actual door panel isn't too shot.

    If you had 0%, then you wouldn't be able to see through the windows because 0% of light is transmitted through? :shrug:

    After talking with a few companies...

    ^^^ There is a difference betweeen being smog legal and being carb legal. In CA, any aftermarket parts have to be CARB legal, and the Helion kit isn't on the list as far as I can see. CA also involves a visual inspection as well as any aftermarket performance parts have an EO number. I only...

    Fox Body Prices

    +1 It seems like the prices are good for a nice 5.0, but the ones I see for over 4K+ are still for sale. If you have the room for 3 cars, I would put it NOP (non-operational) or collector car status and hold on to it if you can, it's already paid off whats the hurry to sell, I doubt it will...

    m90 blower pulley size

    Isn't that just the Thunderbird SC supercharger? If it's the stock pulley I don't think you'll see more than 4-6 psi on the stock pulley from what i've heard so you will be ok. If you can fab it I don't think you can go wrong for the price though. Personally I would like to see a 460 w/ twin...

    tattoo?

    I wouldn't. IMO I think the reason Mustang, Nascar, sports tats, etc. don't turn out good is because it is such a recognized symbol that no matter how good the artist is, it will NOT look exactly like the original, and will be slightly distorted because your skin isn't a perfect canvas...

    what to use to pull steering wheel?

    If I remember you are right, but there is enough play between the shaft and wheel that it will be noticeably off unless you mark the wheel/shaft first.

    swirls on black stang

    ANYONE that would wetsand a two year old car for some swirls... :eek: Wetsanding should be your VERY LAST RESORT bc of heavy heavy oxidation usually found on a 10+ year old car, not a two year old car. Jim D. and Matt's 03 GT are right, get a real polisher like a portercable and some stuff...

    Passive Crossover Network???

    Basically it keeps your tweeters from playing low sounds and your mids (door speakers) from playing high notes, so your speakers don't sound like poo. They come with most aftermarket component speaker sets.

    CARB Aftermarket Parts Database Do your homework before you buy anything! Trick Flow heads and intake are smog legal, cam is NOT that I can find. Plan on keeping the stock cam, most supercharger kits are legal though. Keep the one you have, I see the modded ones on Craig's list and half...

    Stock height with draglites

    Don't want to hijack the thread but I'm in the same boat except I would like to rotate all four tires, would my stang look like a truck if I have the same size tires all around on draglites? I'm looking to do a TC rear end swap so that may put the rears out enough to make it look ok, right? Pics?
