    There are guides to make portable PVC ones that are pretty sturdy, almost built one myself. You don't need all the suspension gizmos. Wheel, monitors, and everything 1-2k depending on what quality you get. Thats if you have nothing. Already have a g27 wheel and computer. You can also build...

    hatch cover clip questions

    Anyone know what the part is called for the roll up cover that hides your junk in the hatch? I broke the clip on the drivers side and can't find the part through latemodel or cj pony. They're the two biggest for restos I can think of. Or if anyone has a parts car I'd gladly buy the clip from ya.

    New times for the fox

    Went back to rockingham last night, air was nice and cold, 40*, great for power, bad for traction. Previous best was a 12.9 @ 108, only addition is 2 more degrees of timing and u/d pulleys. Ran that with a 1.9 60'. 1st pass I launched way to hard for the cold weather, and just roasted em in...

    pulled on a 99 z28

    One of my buddies with a pretty nice 99 z28 wanted to have a run on the highway last night. We were on our way to eat, so he had two others in the car, and I had two others in the car. I was fully expecting to lose by around a car length due to me being a couple tenths slower in the 1/4 and...

    PC on a car without a clearcoat, and what about this combo?

    Will a PC be fine on a car without a clear coat? I want to make the lx shine and I'm looking at a PC. I have some pretty nice swirls in my paint, and a couple waterspots so I'd like to help them out as much as possible. If it won't hurt the paint I was thinking about using this combo...

    Those with xbox live

    Hi guys, just thought about considering xbox live. I have forza and halo 2, and was wondering if it was worth it over saving money. I was going to do a 2 month trial, but I think it expired. I was probably going to play forza more than anything, because I play bf2 as my shooter game. Any...

    Theoretical race question, mostly stock 5.0 lx vs mostly stock 4.6 gt

    Not sure if this is the place to post this, but I decided it was the best since there not cobras*. Basically, I had someone claim that someone's 96-98 4.6 GT could "wipe the floor with me," and I was wondering what my LX would do against a 96-98 GT. I really doubt I would run him, and if I do...

    NC Traffic Accident, am I screwed?

    This morning, around 8:00am, I was heading to school. I came upon an intersection that I have crossed multiple times. I waited my turn, and looked both ways, after allowing for a car to pass. Seeing what believed to be clear (as it was rainy and foggy, and real drab, grayish day) I proceeded...

    Exhaust Questions

    Posted this on fox-body cobra forums but noone answered I have a few questions pertaining exhaust. I recently received a VRS o/r x-pipe and a Mac cat-back with 2.5" chrome tips. I was wondering about a few things. A car wouldn't pass without an airpump would it? I sorta need mine, so I'd...
