    Air Pump

    In my Haines manual on page 6-20 they discuss both a mechanical (belt driven), and an electrical pump. The electrical pump was used after the switch to the 4.6 V8, and is located near the passenger fenderwell. (inside or outside I can't tell) As for how to delete this, I'm lost.

    Snow Handling

    I'm wit zoopa on this. I go to school in Rochester, and I did the stock tires as well. I saw about 20 SUV's off the road this winter on my 5 mile drive to school. It's all how causious (sp?) you drive. Best thing you can do when it snows is find an empty parking lot and practice a bit on...

    Autocross in NY?

    I looked it up, and it said you are near Syracuse. If that is so, try contacting someone from the CNY Chapter of SCCA. http://www.cnyroadrace.com/scca/solo2.html That's their webpage, but I can't find the schedule there either. Ooops, rechecked the map, its appears a lot closer to Albany...

    Chin Spoiler...what's the purpose?

    Just for note, the chin spoiler moslty goes down. A splitter goes forward. You need the horrizontal plane for the excess pressure to push down (look at race preped cars like the Viper). Without it, it just opposes forward motion. As for it creating low pressure, that requires generally low...

    removing badges

    I know when my friend sold his car a while back he removed bumper stickers with a spray product designed to remove that kind of stuff from an auto parts store. I beilieve the label should tell you what to worry about, like washing the spot right after, if it needs to be rewaxed, etc. Was...

    going from 15" tires to 17". do i need a new donut/spare other then default one?

    Is there any difference between the GT donut and the V6 donut? As long as you keep the same overall diameter of the tire/rim combination there shouldn't be an increase of problems while running on the donut (I know, run on it straight to the tire dealer), unless you get bigger brakes that the...

    Will this b good for 1st Mods..

    The axle ratio is the speed of the output shaft over the speed of the input. To find out the new RPM all you have to do is divide by the old axle ratio, and multiply by the new axle ratio. So, if you go from 3.23's to 3.73's your RPM in the same gear at the same speed will go up 15.4%, and...

    Ford Service Damaged my Mustang Bigtime!

    Let me start off from anew. Didn't mean to piss you off, but sometimes I go on rants. Anyways, now that I know it is 1 foot long, it definately is a problem, but one I beleive will be easily fixed by a qualified body repair person. Also, it is NOT designed to bend, but would be easily bent if...

    Ford Service Damaged my Mustang Bigtime!

    Let's put into context what you are saying. The jacking point is designed on the car, and although not perfect, it works and is very cheap to add to a car. In saving money by not putting a thick plate there, buckling stresses are created at this point. Wether you are jacking in you driveway...

    Ford Service Damaged my Mustang Bigtime!

    OK, I wasn't going to say anything, but you just posted this on another forum, and its getting annoying because I don't see it as anything major. Almost all of your posts are annoying at the least, and misinforming some of the times. Anyways not to get off the point, you'll miss what I'm...

    Gas Mileage Questions

    I've got a 97 and looking at my spreadsheet I get 24 in mixed driving, about 20 in the winter, and one time I got 32 cruising at 70 for several hours. We don't have the same motor, but close enough to compare I think.

    Recalls?

    Go to your local Ford dealer service desk with your VIN. They'll look it up to see if there are any applicable recals on your car. They can even tell you any recal work that has been done on your car.
