Thought I'd try this here, as i'm having no luck with the Discount Tire site. Trying to find a certain size/model tire, and it wont let me get past the zip code. Wondering if you have the Maxxis Marauder tire in the 295/50-15 size. Looking for something for my muscle car in that specific size...

Been reading tons and tons about 4V engines lately, with all this data being thrown around about HP figures and speed, i need a frame ov reference. What did my 215HP 96GT come with stock at the wheels? Around 165-170RWHP if i remember correctly?

I know it will work on a 99-up, but how about a 96? Likely a 9" rim, as far out towards the fender edge as possible (thinking tread just under, bulge sticking out). Will it work? If it rubs, what will rub and how bad? I wouldn't normally push it this far, but i can get a wicked deal on a...

I bought my 96 already lowered. Not sure what brand springs, but they are dedicated lowering springs (not just cut coils). They are pretty old (done years and years ago), and are a powder blue in color... no markings i could find. They still hold a nice stance, very slight rake, and they're...

I need to find these locally (near Vancouver BC), so i'm really reaching here, but doesn't hurt to ask. I need a nice set (4), dont need to be perfect, but no rash or bent rims. I seem to be able to find everything but the 98's... Anyone...???

Looking for some new rollers for my 96. I have a few options (i wont go into here), and one is custom rims, and another is widening stock 17x8" rims. The perfect option would be to widen stock rims so i can keep the stock look. I just want rubber right to the very edge and full wheelwells. My...

Maybe a silly idea for a thread, but thought I'd ask. The new 96GT i just bought just wont stop impressing me. Took it for a 500 mile high-speed burn this weekend (already have a total 700 miles on the car since i bought it a week ago) and it just wanted more. Interestingly enough, i've...

Okay, just installed a brand new pump. While the tank was out, we checked the sender, and it checked out fine (resistance check), looked fine, etc. Put the tank back in, and now its working even worse. Before it would register far more fuel than was in the tank, then drop precipitously towards...

Bought a 96 GT, nice lookin' car, but the pizza-cutters have to go. I've decided its in everyone's best interests if i put 335's on the back ov this car. Budget is very low, so i have in mind some 18x10" wheels from American Muscle (9"s up front). Is that too narrow? Tire spec says 11.5" minimum...

Just bought a 96 GT 5-speed. Decent shape, drove beautifully last night. Today, it wont start. Cranks fine, but turn the key and the fuel pump makes no sound. Started up cold in the guy's driveway yesterday. Is there any way to start this thing? or limp it to the shop? Any chance the seller...

Not sure whether to ask this here or in the SN section but here goes. Just bought a 96GT, lowered, not sure what brand springs (HOPING its not just cut stockers). The factory 17x8" pizza-cutters and 245's HAVE to go. My girl's 96GT has 18x9/18x10" DD Bullits w G-Force KDW2 275/295's. She...

Been looking high and low for a solid 4V Cobra coupe... and finding nothing. Then this foxbody hatch comes across my path, its nice, under 100K miles, looks stock, the color i want, 5 speed, has full Eibach suspension mods, full exhaust, a built 306 and 3.73 gears in a rebuilt posi. I wasn't...

Soooo disappointed. I NEEED a good car right now. I'm done messing with 40-45 year old projects to get me to work. Finally broke down, did what i said i'd never do, got a loan, and now i'm in the market for a cheaper 4V Cobra. I DONT want to buy a car i'll want to sell in 4 months. And i dont...

As detailed in the other thread i just dug up from the grave... i'm still looking for an engine for my old hotrod. There is a big block Mopar in there now, but i've fallen outta love with those and want a mod. I also want it LIGHT... and that all aluminum 4.6 4V is just the perfect fix. I also...

I'm on the verge ov breaking down and buying a small good on gas car to commute. I borrow my girl's 96 GT to get around when i get sick ov my Charger's 8mpg, but even that gets pricey on longer trips. I suppose if i really wanted to (read: if it was economically viable) i could swing a lease on...
