    Engine Running Hot / Gauge Issues??

    Here's a video of a few weeks ago. This is when it would only jump to the "R" in a few seconds, but it still shows my main problem.. Could it be a bad gauge maybe? I cleaned the metal contacts on the sensor, and it seems to still be doing it. YouTube - Mustang Temp Gauge

    Engine Running Hot / Gauge Issues??

    Thanks for the suggestions guys.. The old thermostat was properly functioning (tested it in boiling water), but that wasn't my stock thermostat.. I used to change it twice a year with a 160* for summer driving and track stuff, 195 during winter.. And my engine has always run cool (with both...

    Engine Running Hot / Gauge Issues??

    A couple weeks back I noticed my temp gauge was quite a bit higher than normal. It usually runs around the left side of the "N" of "NORMAL", but now its hovering between the "R/M". When I start the car everything is normal, then about 6-8 min into driving, the gauge goes from the bracket, and...

    Hazards Don't Work...

    Ok, finally got my car running last night... went to pull out from my driveway to the road and the blinker was going hella fast... so I pull over and check things out, the signals work perfectly, but when my hazards are on, only the front passenger light flashes... I've checked all the fuses...

    Rear Caliper Spring?

    well, I'm talking about the spring here technically, I really need some help getting that thing on... but I can't seem to get the cable on either. I'll let you know if I figure out anything, but in the mean time, I need ANY advice to get that blasted spring back on the caliper! (it's getting...

    E-Brake Cable: Brake Upgrade

    LOL, something simple huh? like recognizing that RH stands for Right Hand? Wow... I need to quit working on my car at 4am... Changed that, but the cable is still very tight... nothing I wouldn't expect a little help with Vice Grips wouldn't solve... HOWEVER, when I was trying to pry the...

    Rear Caliper Spring?

    so, while trying to put the brake cable back on the caliper, my spring went flying into next tuesday! That thing is so tight now though, that I can't get it back on... any tips?

    E-Brake Cable: Brake Upgrade

    It's not binding or frozen at any place... tested that before I got the brake setup installed last week, so that's all good it seems... it's just that since the cobra rotors are larger than GT stock ones, the caliper has to sit farther back, so the cable's position doesn't extend long enough...

    Upgrading to 31 sline axles and have a quesiton

    as far as I can tell, the pin dimension is referring to the little nib at the tip of the axle, inside the dif... right next to where the c-clip would normally hold the axle in place... and since the c-clip states it's narrower in these axles, that all makes sense to me... but I'm very possibly...

    Upgrading to 31 sline axles and have a quesiton

    I'll put a vote down for Superior! they seem to be amazing thus far... driven my friend's with 31sp at the track, and I used the 28sp in my rebuilt with the stock dif... figured I'd input my $.02 (^_^)

    E-Brake Cable: Brake Upgrade

    well, I know it does have a self-adjusting mechanism... I remember that now, but I'm not sure where it is, or how to adjust it out... I only need at most an inch on each side... probably closer to 3/4".

    E-Brake Cable: Brake Upgrade

    Ok, well I'm finally finishing up my rebuild of my car, and went to finish up the rear brakes. I tried fitting the parking brake cable, but realized it wasn't going to rear back far enough to fit on the calipers because they're further back now... (went from stock GT to the Bullitt calipers w/...

    Banjo Bolts... (Brake Upgrade)

    Thanks guys... I'll check them out tomorrow morning... Yes, sadly I did "total" my car, only in the definition of the word, at least... the cost of repairs exceeded the overal worth of my car, but definitely not the overall worth to me... But, since most of the drivetrain had to be replaced, why...

    Banjo Bolts... (Brake Upgrade)

    Ok, so for the few that do know, I totalled my mustang a long while back, but it's my love, so I'm fixing her... been several months too... so anyway, I picked up the red "pony" style calipers (bullitt style), but without the Banjo Bolts... Ford Parts wants $21.72 for each one! (and I don't have...

    Custom Axle?

    yeah, I may be out of the closet, but my car is grounded for another few weeks, it seems... I've even been to the junkyards trying to find a decent axle housing for not too much money, but it's not looking good so far. Once I get the beast running well again, I'll be here a ton again... it'd be...

    What are the biggest Wheels/Tires I can put on my 95 GT

    Do you have any side shots of them? All I'm really looking for is a set of 18" rims that are a wide 5-star design... like the roush, but not $1800 for a set...
