    Ride quality liars!!

    my mustang rides like crap. best way i can discribe it would be to say it rides like a rigid chopper. i think it is going to cause problems throughout if i keep it up haha. bbk specifics with stock dampers is definitely not the way to go. though the ride height is what i wanted it to be, it just...

    can i stay smog legal by switching to carb?

    Very odd starting issue im having

    a lot of people are saying solenoid while it makes sense...i dont see how it could be the solenoid if a proper working relay would not allow power to the starter. im hoping very much its my relay, and since i had a lifetime warranty on my starter, i was able to get a new one free. just gotta...

    Very odd starting issue im having

    should have some time this weekend to mess with it...i think what i'll do is remove the starter and bring it to autozone or advanced. think they do starter tests for free. also if it isn't the starter...how would i check the relay? and if it isn't the relay (hope its that if anything) then would...

    o2 siezed, looking for removal tricks.

    i have a o2 sensor socket...it has a split down it for the wire. because of the split it warps on the seized o2s. the o2 sensor spot on my o/r hpipe happens to sit so that i can't easily access the header nuts. but on the stock hpipe it wasn't a problem. im hoping i can just chase the...

    o2 siezed, looking for removal tricks.

    acutally i used a propane torch, but i was under the car and it was awkward. i guess i can give it a go again. i do have access to a cutting torch but i can change the handle to use it for heating up.

    Horn not working....

    Gotta get my cars safety inspection done soon. My horn isn't working and it hasn't worked since i dropped a penny in the cigar lighter lol (started to smoke) which doesn't work either. In my manuals they don't say what fuse goes to what, and the electrical diagrams are confusing as hell. By...
