    WY tracks?

    Hey all, I'm currently relocating to Cheyenne and am wondering what the local scene is like. I don't expect to set any land speed records at this elevation but would like to play once in a while. BTW I want to retune m chip as well. If there are any good shops in the area please let me know.

    I got the call to pick my baby up the other day, they replaced the input shaft, pilot sleve, clutch etc.. So I rushed to the dealer to pick it up. Washed, detailed.... nice :-D . So I jump in to drive off. I push the clutch in and WTF!! :cuss: The pedal falls to the floor. The cable came off and...

    Well I had another clutch ordered today. My baby is smoking hard when you nail 4th all the other gears seem fine....... for now. I wonder if I should change my alias one of these days. :lol: Maybe my luck would change. Anyone else killing clutches this fast or is it just me?

    I love Carlsbad!!

    Well I got my wish and cracked 11's attached is my best slip (3rd run). I'm still a touch confused as to why I don't trap faster. I ran a 12.2 @ 114 on the firt run and an 11.978 on the third run @ 116.28 so I got my back-up run for the nay sayers. :-p It was nice seeing everyone again don't be...

    Help, parts ordering question !?

    The SFP site has a 6# lower crank pulley listed for $149. Is this advised or should I get the entire assy? Cost isn't really an issue but if I can get the same results for cheaper I will.

    Where to buy...

    I'm looking for a So Cal shop that sells the 100mm aux idler puller and a 6# lower. I already called X2C and they're back ordered on the idler. I'm feeling a little impatient and don't want to do mail order but will if I have to. I want to be able to get the mods done before the 29th C-Bad run...

    I took my car in Monday to get it's 20K maintenance done albeit early @ 18,500mi. I need to get ready for my cross country trip so all is well, or so I thought. The morning after our SoCal cruise I found a puddle of oil under the diff and oil all over my tail pipes. I had my diff resealed by...

    Stock Clutch Cable PN#

    I've been searching the internet all day and come up empty. Ford parts network doesn't have it either. I'm looking for the part number/source for the stock clutch cable/quadrant and I'm sure we all know the dealership will bend me over the counter to get one. I'm looking for a low cost way to...

    Something weird---- opinions?

    Lately when I try to open my drivers door fron the outside it takes some serious effort. I lift the handle and pull but the door doesn't move. If I give it a good tug it pulls open. It's not a pressure difference because it does it if the window is up or down and if the car is hot or cold. I...

    Question for track junkies

    I was just wondering, I've read about how some of you are running 11's on stock tires etc and even seen back to back 11sec vids... Just how many people are modifying thier cars to conform to track regulations as they get faster. The tech nazis always check my car and I've seen others get kicked...

    Thanks mjchip!

    Every now and then a thread rolls along that thuroughly documents a rare problem. After reading mjchips's thread about fuel issues, I became worried because many of the things he was seeing were eeriely familiar. I sucked it up and pulled my injectors last night and...... 3 were clogged. 2 of...

    Question for the experts-- Help needed

    Here's the scenario: Once my car warms up my throttle is starting to stick open when I take my foot off the gas. It's definitely not the TPS as I can feel it in the pedal. During my last trip to the track I took my OEM TB with me anticipating problems. I needed to swap it out after my second...

    Hot tip for you guys with aftermarket headers from personal experience: Oct '02 I got an SES light that scanned as bank 1 lean. af few days later the passenger side header gasket blew. At the same time the light and code repeated. Flash forward to about a week or so ago. I tripped an SES...

    ADJ Clutch cable ????

    I've had an brand new adj clutch cable in my garage for a while and was wondering...... I originally bought it for an '87 I was working on but could it work on the Cobra? The label on the box says 87-01 mustang though. I checked all the mags and distributers and no one sells an '03 Cobra only...

    New rims+315 BFG's What do you guys think?

    Well the rims aren't Brand new but I never put the full set on the car . Figure I'll see how I like them for a bit. Also went to the darkside and mounted the 315/35/17 BFG DRs instead of buying my 3rd set of nittos (racing is starting to get expensive). So what does everyone think of these rims?

    Those that ordered the 17" MT ET Streets....

    I called to check on my order today and.... MT is not delivering to their distributers until mid June now. I'd placed my order back in April but the wait is too long. So I had Summit sub a pair of 315/35/17 BFG DRs instead. Bottom line wait till the end of june for delivery or have tires by...

    Joined a club that I didn't want to

    Well I figured I'd give the pop~klunk TSB a shot today, since my car does it. I wiggle under the car and what do I see... Oil all over my diff, exhaust etc.. The gasket squeazed out from the cover, atleast it didn't crack. Right about then I felt really stupid. I'd been having a vibe at low...

    Anyone received the 17" ET streets yet?

    Just wondering cuz the wait is killing me. I ordered from Summit a few weeks ago and their not expected to arrive until May 25th now. This is almost as bad as the wait for my car to get built was.......

    Ahhh Noooo, Darn Sonic Booms!!!

    We just had one of our many daily sonic booms and I've goten quite used to them. But this one took the cake. I was hanging out B/Sing with a few of my co-workers in the smoking area (no I don't smoke) and I heard my alarm going off. Usually I let it got but I figured I'd disarm it since I was...

    Front Fasica ?

    While washing the car yesterday I noticed that my entire front fasica I.E. front bumper moves up and down considerably. It's almost like it's barely attached. I haven't hit anything (parking stops, curbs etc..) so it really concerns me that something may have broken loose. I can't see any reason...

    Decent night @ the track

    Those of you that follow us Cali folks exploits at LACR know what a challenge that track is. Especially on “slip-n-slide” night as Tetge so fondly puts it. On a whim I figured I try out my rebuilt tranny and new clutch. Wed night usually has a light crowd so I pretty much ran when I wanted to...

    Exhibition of power?

    I've been searching and come up with absolutely nothing. The closest reference to this statute (Cali) is exhibition on speed. This one though addresses side by side racing etc. basically street racing. My reason for the search is that I've been pulled over twice for "exhibition of power" but not...
