Bad drivers
Automatic gear box
Quirky factory solid axle geometry inherent to S197
Tires
Too much power
Improper suspension mods
Traction control making this worse

Afraid of voiding warranty, car has 37k on the clock, if something was wrong with the engine it would have shown up by now. So praying the boost gods it will be good.

Looking for pics of cars with rear mud flappies removed and beefy to the fender tires. I feel like our stock mud flappies make the cars look less agressive. Any side effects from removal? Ford gave it to us for free I wonder why.

Are wheel arches a larger diameter on later s197 or is it my imagination. Ford used 17 and 18s and they did the job, but 18s on the later cars dont look good. I feel it has to do with the arch size between the cars.

Ford is going to fix my corrosion for the second time, first time no charge under warranty, now out of the 3/36 they will pay for some of the cost and the dealership that fixed it the first time will use some of their good will funds. I service my car there and bought a Fusion from them.

I guess I need to start a new thread. I would like to know if the Black Ford Racing STB fits over a whipple. Part number M-20201-C
I seen numerous TVS cars use it

Does anybody know if the lower manifold from a TVS kit will accept a GT500 TVS or Ford Racing/Whipple 2.3L
Essentially did ford use the same lower manifold for the roush kits and the whipple? or are there two different castings. And is the GT500 TVS the same dimensions and manifold bolt...
Whats up guys, figure I share my stupid wheel widening project. I say stupid because in the quest for being original and different I ended up spending too much. Regardless, Ill follow up with some pics of the final project but for now Ill give you the run down of what I have so far.

Wanted to post up my little research and results from my quest for lowering springs.
Having a convertible it was important to not kill the ride quality on my car. Trying to avoid bringing in additional cowl shake and other shimmies. Convertibles typically need a softer suspension (Springs...
Ive been looking for lowering springs but before I purchase a kit for a 5.0l id like to know if I should do GT500 spring kit to compensate for the supercharger system. Is this should I be thinking like this so I get the advertised drop and not more or looked raked or even have springs upfront...
Back in a mustang since my Terminator days 9 years ago and obviously the stock power of the coyote gets old quick. My local FRPP dealer wants to charge me $6,800 for the FRPP kit and $100 spark plugs, no procal just ford downloaded, and roughly $1,100 to install. Id love to do it myself buy as...

I have a Eaton/Detroit True-Trac in my car, I am also using Alum bushings. I am trying to see if this is normal operation or if its a problem with the unit.
Beause of the Alum bushings I can hear everthing that happens back there. I am using 80W90 oil from what i remember...
Alright guys I love my car to death but how can I love a car that rides so bad due to cowl shake and trembles. I have done many things to try to eliminate this problem. I have a roll bar, strut tower bar and MM full length subs. I went to H&R SS springs for the bling, and went to 285 35 18s for...
I must say they look awsome, but I wish the quality is higher. The rubber surround was loose and not glued right, and they are already dry rotted. They are also too heavy for the factory mounting, the light shakes when going over bumps. Also A little condensation was there in the morning but it...
I know there is somone asking what is the age of the Terminator owners.
