Spreadman, Just curious, but is the first picture of the Vette taken at Slater's in Houston? - Brian

So... Could a '68 GT have a 289 in it? - Brian P.S. I don't know classics...but I'm intersted.

So... The GT package was only cosmetic and did not necessarily mean that the car was running a 390? - Brian

03gtmustang is right on the money. If it is out of alignment and they can't do it through the stock C/C plates when removing the rivets, they will most likely offer to install a camber kit (I have this). This will bring you back into alignment. The only caution I have when purchasing...

I am finding it hard to tell whether the tie rod is bent or not; then again, I have not gone to look at my own car ('98 GT) so I can't compare. If you are suspecting a bent tie rod, you could purchase new tie rods, both inner and outer, both driver and passenger side, and install them. They...

hognutz came the closest to getting the idea of why horsepower/torque can be gained/lost at high/low RPM from performance/stock exhaust systems. As well, the "backpressure" idea is not true at all. A lot of people will equate low RPM torque with needed backpressure - this however is not true...

stangman, What suspension modifications have you done? Springs in particular... - Brian

I don't know how to post a picture of my Mustang witin the page without attaching a really small picture of it. That sucks... Someone could click the link in my signature, pick a picture, and post it for me.. It's Rio Red by the way... - Brian

Origammi, YOu quoted me, and then said something completely different in your post. YOu lost all credibility...

Like said before... Unless you have aftermarket fully adjustable caster/camber plates, your caster is NON-ADJUSTABLE. As far as your camber and toe, it is best to keep your alignment fairly close to the stock specifications. You could requestion a slight increase in negative camber if you...

I installed my Mac Off-Road H-Pipe myself as well, but I used a friend of mine's hydraulic lift in his garage (yeah, that's right, he has 2 lifts actually). I don't know how the installation will be if your car is just on jackstands, but it could be a real pain wil the small space, lack of...

My opinion... Congratulations on your purchase! I just got my set-up, only in Anthracite, and have nothing but good things to say about Bud at Wheel Replicas and the product. You do NOT need spacers to fit 275/40 and 315/35 tires on your Mustang. However, the "technicians" at Discount Tire...

Possible rice alert here...anyone who wants to know if an intake is loud (i.e. like on a Honda Civic!) should be questioned... - Brian

In regards to the shake... My father's '02 Chevy (geez!) Impala had a bad shaking problem under breaking at all speeds. We first believed that the rotors had to be bad, maybe even warped, but on a brand new car (this was in '02) that seemed unlikely. Either way, we had them turned and put...

When my car was in the shop, I was quoted prices like these... Front-end alignment, replace front-right inner tie-rod (it was worn), labor: $350 Front-end alignment, camber kit, labor: nearly $500 (that was outrageous) What I paid... I replaced the tie rod myself for $16.99 (parts) and...

Usefullness of the plates... From what I know, caster/camber plates are essentially just camber plates because the caster on a Mustang is non-adjustable from the factory. These plates are installed after suspension work has been done and are used in a re-alignment of the front end of the car...

As an intermittent solution, I put Mother's California Gold Wax (Paste) on the headlight and it brings back a little more shine and takes off some of the yellow-ish haze effect. - Brian

From a purely physical standpoint, I don't see how an engine "likes" backpressure. It can be understood that Ford designed the Modular motors to produce a certain amount of power based on a certain exhaust system with a certain amount of backpressure. However, if you increase the size...

I have heard that when off-road H- or X-Pipes are put on a Mustang, that the torque goes down. Is this true? If it is true, can anyone explain the physics behind this? All the comments that I have heard say the reason torque goes down is because backpressure is lost. This would not...
