Ok, everyone knows that my motor blew up, so entire under carriage and engine bay are covered in oil. I took a pressure washer to the bay last night and it took off all the big chunks of oil and dirt, now just need to get the rest of it off. I have an entire case of brake cleaner and can use...
Hey guys, just wanted to get your opinion about the belts. I have run the last 40K miles on my car with the regular Gates belt. I was thinking about getting the racing belt instead this go round because it's blue and supposed to be better. When I called Gates the Sales guy couldn't tell me...
Hey guys, I'll be putting my motor back together next week, and wanted to know if it would be ok to reuse my MHG. I put just under 1k Miles on it and it seems to be in great shape. Now I read the thread about not using copper coat, most of the VHT (I believe) is still in tact on the HG. Now I...
I've been wondering if I need these. I'm doing a rebuild right now and was thinking about just sticking with my stock rods and bolts. I have put over 400rwhp on them for the past 4 years and my goal is just to hit 500rwhp at the most when I go to the drag strip and dyno. I don't have any...
I have a motor that has been in my car for about 4 years now. 5 of the 6 JE pistons look fine, the other had some thing (spark plug I think) drop in there, the piston still had 150 compression, just made a scratch in the cylinder wall. I've got another piston in great shape the same size as...
Here is what happened with less than 600 miles on the motor.
Aluminum coating on rods
#6 cylinder

Crap on pump, Hope it's ok
Cylinder Wall
Last but not least the hole in the bottom of the piston!!!
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics...
Just like the title says guys, I'm wanting to know if they are ok. I have rod know in the motor that I have now and the block is rusting away. I've found a place that is going to sell me a short block with my trade in (spare motor) for a good price and a small warranty. But this is the best...
Any of you guys use them? I was thinking since I'm 5spd It would help me load the car a little bit before the launch and help with doing some burn outs. It's not that expensive and pretty easy to install.
Just seeing if you guys have had any success with these?
OK guys, I have run into a problem once again with my tranny. Well ever since I got my new clutch and resurfaced the flywheel, it has been hard getting into first and second. But before I changed the clutch, it shifted perfectly fine. When I got back from the track it was ok, but when I tried to...
Going to the track on Sat and hoping for some good times. I chatted with Slow66 and going to try what he told me to do. I have a stage 4 clutch with a fidanza flywheel and stock r154, stock DS and rear end. Have some MT ET Street radials too!!! Going to try my luck on Sat!!

This is with stock springs, just lowered the perches on the Shock it self.
The jack stand is there because my driveway slopes and I was putting on my new drag wheels.
Oh yeah, who is the guy that has the sig that...
I know that there are atleast 6 of us going out there to see what we come up with. It's the first day that Ennis is open, staging lanes open at 11:30 and close at 6:00pm. If anyone needs some practice for TX2K9 this would be great for you! It's only $15 to race!
I'm going but my car is slow...
As the title says.... What's the excuses?? I have been having a blast lately drag racing! It is a lot of fun to pull up to a domestic and run with them. My car is Basic BPU and I love taking to the strip!!
I'm trying to get with Greddy for making a wiring Diagram for the Emanage Ultimate for the 7MGTE. They have sent me one for the 7MGE but not the
7MGTE. I just want to make sure that I send them the correct one. I've done a lot of searching and it looks like the online TSRM has 2 different...
What is the best way to do this? I just need to roll the inner lip of the rear fender to fit my new MT dr's. A lot of mustang guys use bat and it comes out pretty good, but I have never done anything like this before.
Any suggestions?
Post them up!. I would be nice to start a new thread and have a sticky like on SF. I think it will be very beneficial to the site and it's members. I'll post up mine later today. Have to mount them again!
Wheels: Weld Prostars, 15x8 5.5" back space
Tires: MT ET Street Radials, 275/50/15...
Guys I just wanted to see if the springs on a turbo and non turbo are the same? I was going to post this in the suspension forum, it just takes a while.
I'm picking up my front bilsteins today and have a set of springs that came off a NA non tems car and they are in really good shape.
My...
OK, guys I have installed my rear Bilstein's, (fronts will be soon) with my stock shocks and I noticed that it actually raised my car quite a bit. I had blown shocks so this was to be expected. I have the c ring or clip on the middle ring, and there is still a 2" wheel gap. So if you are...
First off I have searched and read multiple threads. But I didn't really hear any answer for my situation.
I drive my car daily for now(will be getting a new vehicle soon) and I drag race. I have a Weld/MT setup, so I plan on using it. My carrier bearing has gone out, and wanted to know if...
