    Ever use Lucas ATF?

    Bought some and it's a universal ATF, like Amsoil.

    Ever use Lucas ATF?

    Sure-Shift Semi-Syn ATF (Quart) [10052] - $4.55 : LucasOilStore.com, LUCAS OIL - IT WORKS! Just wondered if anyone has ever used this in a Mercon V application, and how it worked. I've used Amsoil universal ATF and it seemed to work real good, but I've also used Lucas products in the past...

    Best way to lower my 00 GT about 2 inches?

    I went from 28-1/2" ride height at all corners and after the FR springs, and waiting 2 or so weeks for suspension to settle in, I measured 26-1/2" fender height front and 27" rear.

    Best way to lower my 00 GT about 2 inches?

    I went with Ford racing springs and got about a 2" drop. Seems like I went with the (M-5300-B) springs and got more drop than I expected but the ride was still good.

    should i sell my 94 cobra? (just bought a 93 cobra)

    Glad you're keeping it - on a side note, I missed a chance to buy a '94 yesterday that had "9k in mods and a 3k paint job" and the guy was only asking $5,500 for it. Car is probably sold by now.

    Steeda SQ6

    And for v8 guys that don't want to spend 42k for a Roush Stage 1 and only get cosmetic upgrades, they can get a Steeda Q350

    Looking to buy a ranger, need opinions

    I saw the post date, but with no "update" I figured it was safe to reply.

    Looking to buy a ranger, need opinions

    Thanks for confirming the very reason why I did NOT buy an overpriced Tacoma: "power windows/door locks/outside mirrors, remote keyless entry system, cruise control - NOT AVAILABLE" (Unless you opt for the larger cab) Pretty sad when you can pick every single available option on the...

    Looking to buy a ranger, need opinions

    I ordered an '08 XLT about a month ago, should be here June 26th, and I picked the 4cyl engine. I'm driving a "loaner" now with a 3.0 V6 and I'm getting 21-22mpg with mostly highway driving - 4 cyl should get 24-25 mpg from what I'm hearing. The old cam belt 8 spark plug 8 valve 4 cyl felt...

    Turbo kits

    KB for a supercharger, but here's a link for my choice on a turbo kit: http://modularpowerhouse.com/product_info.php?cPath=106_49_64&products_id=124&osCsid=27ba8c20e8e12076b7d0c320c577557e seems like a decent price since it includes install and tune.

    Well I bought it, check out my new toy

    pretty nice. i had an '88 gt with t-tops and never had a single problem with it for 125,000 miles .. even had the original brake pads. only mods were a catback and gears.

    9psi kb

    i bought the kb intercooled 9psi kit along with the kb big tube, tb and 90mm meter and it came with larger injectors and a smaller pulley. i was told by the salesman that with the options i picked a 10psi pulley would be needed to make certain that i make the full 9psi. car still has the stock...

    May be going turbo soon....

    maybe trying to push 21 psi through a stock turbo with no fuel upgrades or computer upgrades, it runs lean and things break. same rule that applies to a turbo 4 also goes for a sc'ed v8 - all depends on the tune. i've seen many s3 and 50-trim stock engine srt's (pos neon) running 21-25 boost...

    May be going turbo soon....

    extremely mod friendly and at 350-400whp (if you go a stage 3, 4 or similar build up) all you really need is a clutch upgrade, assuming that intercooler and exhaust have been replaced already. 400-450whp needs a fuel return line for sure. anything above 450 should at least consider doing...

    confirmation, it's a neon!

    personally i wouldn't call him an idiot, since he's a friend, but i know he likes mustangs even if he doesn't like using the "m" word.

    confirmation, it's a neon!

    when i ordered my kenne bell kit and it was spread out all over the floor my friend said he was looking at a new car and i asked if he was still looking at mustangs and he said "NO! it's a Mach 1!" he finally bought a different car that he had to fly to florida to pick up...when he drove in my...

    confirmation, it's a neon!

    sorry, all i heard was 9's.

    I finally done it....

    probably sounded worse than it looks. it could probably be sanded, filled and color matched good as new.

    confirmation, it's a neon!

    if i understand you, your friend bought a neon? making the exhaust louder would probably be an electronic cut-out that basically lets you run open exhaust right at the down pipe. the high octane was probably on a toys panel if it was a red button with a gas pump logo on it, probably had...

    confirmation, it's a neon!

    pretty sweet times on that bolt-on '06 GT. i noticed a lot of s3's, but no big turbo srt's? 12.1 is probably pretty decent for the small turbo/s3, but i've seen a s3 run a 11.560 and same car has trapped at 121.87 on all boost, no juice. times could reflect changes for high altitude? fastest...
