    Carpet Replacement

    Well, taking advantage of my time off, I decided to finally replace my worn out factory carpet. Got the old carpet out without breaking any trim and minimal cutting. But the new and not exactly factory carpet needs more cutting than I originally expected. Has anyone here successfully replaced...

    replacement buttons

    Is it possible to replace my worn away/faded buttons on my shaker 500? I'm trying to do a mini restore and was wondering if this is feasible or would I be better off just replacing the whole unit. Lemme know. Thanks!

    Rough idle/stall

    Hello my Fellow Ford men, I'm having an issue with my mustangs idle RPM. It becomes weak, erratic and eventually dies if you dump the clutch to aggressively or stall the car completely. If I try to restart it immediately, the symptoms persist for numerous start attempts unless I can raise the...

    oily spark plugs

    This evening I decided to replace my spark plugs. While it's miraculous all 8 came out in one piece after 100k miles, they all were fairly covered in oil. Ive never lost too much oil between oil changes and I've always used mobil 1. One spark plug even had dirt on the sleeve of the electrode...

    Low/irratic Idle rpm

    I'm having an issue with a low idle rpm when the A/C is on and Unstable/ Irratic rpm when I let off of the throttle.Yesterday morning my car was very hard to start and had a low rpm when any kind of load was placed on the motor. If I revved it then let off the gas it would die. So I changed the...

    Differential question

    I have a progressive whine/howl that I'm pretty sure is coming from my rear end. It starts as a low pitch wine from 20-50 mph then by 55-60mph it turns to a higher pitch whine that sounds like its coming from up front near the trans tunnel. I jacked up the rear and turned the wheels. When I turn...

    front end "groaning" sound

    Any ideas on what this sound could be on my front end. I get it on slow tight turns usually when I'm turning to park. Its not a popping sound like strut mounts would produce although I wouldn't rule them out. Its not the T-lok diff groaning since I'm running a trutrac posi although it makes a...

    Bumper removal and install

    Hello people. Today some faceless asshole hit my bumper and knocked it out of alignment. No real damage that I've noticed but the bumper is knocked out of postion. I don't feel like going to a shop and forking over cash if this is something I can do myself. I hate people. Especially those that...

    Frame Stiffness?

    I know the S197 chassis is the stiffest Mustang platform yet, but how does it compare to the rest of the automotive world? Are there any ratings or test data out there to compare? Just curious.

    E85?

    Whats everyones take on E85? I understand you'll a fuel system capable of running it(more corrosive?), takes alomst twice as much to make the energy of gas (high flow fuel system) , and isn't much cheaper if any cheaper than gas. But it also is high octane(105) and better for the enviorment. Its...

    Saleen Extreme 6-speed

    The Saleen extreme is apparently avail with a 6-speed manual. Which one is it? I'm assuming it a T-56 since it was availible before the GT500 and the T-6060 but I'm not really sure. Just curious.

    Sway bar installation

    It kinda late in the game and I can't do anything since my car is on the other side of the globe but can u install the rear swaybar upside down or wrong and it still function? Mine seems to sit really low, the lowest I've seen on any S197. Its noticeable from a distance. It's been on there the...

    Finally strapped down to a dyno

    Well I've been running Evo's tune for a year and a half and I finally got to get it on a dyno today. 291.95RWHP and 292.36 RWTQ. Better #s than I was expecting but my A/F was kinda high averaging about 13.8:1 On the first run the power and torque seem to dip at 4600 and 5400 rpm. The A/F also...

    Cams and emmisions?

    I have a question for cammed folks, especially those of you in Cali. How hard is it to pass emissions with cams or ported heads. Normally I'm all for FI since you get more bang for the buck but lately I've been kinda obsessed with the idea of cams and juice. Cams and a direct port setup hidden...

    tranny issues?

    I think either my syncros are going or maybe it's just as simple as a clutch needing to be bled but for the 2nd time today my car wouldn't shift into gear. Today it was third gear, about a week ago it was 5th. Also every so often when I'm coming to a stop and I put the car in first while still...

    CHE LCA people

    How many of you running CHE LCAs with the poly/delrin bushings that are squeak-free get squeaks anyway? I started to get noise, more like a creak sound, about a month maybe month and a half ago so I called CHE. They told me to squirt a little WD-40 on the bushings and it should clear up and it...

    N20 & the 3V

    With some new plated dry setups coming about, which is better or at least has more potential for the S197? The Zex which is a wet setup(I'm pretty sure) has been around for a bit and I haven't heard any complaints but some folks, at least Edelbrock, seem to think that a dry setup is better. But...

    Dash and A-pillar removal?

    Are there any good how-to's on dash and A-pillar removal? I'm thinking of dynomating the whole thing in hopes that it will reduce or eliminate all these rattles and vibes that I get in the dashboard.

    BMR front D/S loop?

    I'm trying to decide on a front D/S loop and I really like BMR's but I remember reading that BMR's wasn't NHRA legal since there are only two bolts that hold it on when the requirement is four. Is this true. The only one I've seen with four holes is GMS.
