I have a 92 with the graphic equalizer on the stereo. It has a very bad hiss when playing a tape with the engine running. With the engine not running, there's no hiss and it sounds great. The hiss does not change with engine RPM's, so I don't think it's ignition related. If there is any when the...

The power steering rack on my 1992 has developed a pretty good leak recently. Not a bad run if it lasted 30 years! I was looking into options though, and quickly my head spun. Hoping to get some advice. I know many people replace these with newer SN95 racks or other "upgrade" options. I...

I have a 1992 that desperately needs new shocks, but it's a looker and may get entered in a competition or two. I'd like to get replacements that are as similar as possible to the OEM shocks it came with but are no longer available. My first question is, does anyone know who was making the...

We are the proud new owners of a 1992 fox body. I might post more about that later. For now, I have a drivability issue I'm trying to do some diagnosis on myself before getting it off to the mechanic next week for some TLC. Symptom: Low power above maybe 1,500 RPM. Taking off from a start...

My father has a 2013 Mustang GT that has what I describe as the strangest problem in the world. We've had two dealerships and about 5 techs look at it and no one can diagnose the issue. I'm hoping some of the brains on here can maybe give some ideas, tips, or tricks. The symptom is simple...

I have a 2003 Cobra Convertible. My dad just took delivery of a 2011 Mustang 5.0 Convertible. I got to drive it today, briefly. I wanted to offer some thoughts and get some opinions. In terms of ride quality 7 years make a huge difference. The new convertible is a LOT stiffer, steering...

I have an '03 black convertible. It's stock, save the hood mod, a Steeda shifter, and a amazon racing CAI. It's got 6500 miles on it. Did I mention it's a weekend toy? I have a lot of fun with it, and my other toys. I have a very simple question. What's the best way to get rid of the...

I've got an 03 Convertable in pristine condition, except for two large scratches on the passenger side. Don't get me started. Down to the metal, no touch up is going to work, but no metal damage, so I don't think any body work is in order. Just a sand and paint. Thing is, I'm extra picky...

I'm back after an absense from this fourm, and in need of some advice. I've got an '03 cobra convertable with 3200 miles on it. Not a lot of driving (or forum time) due to other things going on. Hopefully that will change now. Anyway, I had a vibration from day one. All speeds, worse when...

Ok, I haven't raced him but a guy at the office found this: http://www.turbovan.net/van.html

My 'vert has an interesting behavior, and I want to see if other vert people notice the same thing, and/or if the coupes have the same issue. If you corner "hard", my vert seems to have "two" types of roll. That is, I'll feel one roll axis "stop" first, and then a fraction of a second later...

So you just got a new frozbaz for your cobra and took off the stock frozbaz in the process. Being a packrat you decide to save the frozbaz in case you want to put it back on later, or make your retirement at a swap meet in 25 years. How do you store your stock frozbaz? I have a number of...

I've noticed if the car sits in the garage for a few days when I first take it out there is a definate shimmy (eg, left to right) movement in the steering wheel. I don't notice any tracking problems, and if I take my hands off the wheel I don't feel any other vibrations in the car. At first I...

So, I found on www.karkraft.com the "Mach 1 Heater Radio/Bezel", a metal like trim bit around the AC, radio, and center air vent bit. Well, while I was at my local ford dealership today I asked them about the other Mach 1 bits...namely the lower plate to match (around the shifter boot) and...

In looking through my shop manual today (from Helm) I noticed the following. Page 100-01-5, right in the begining lists the paint codes: B7 - Zinc Yellow (clear coat) CX - Dark Shadow Grey Metallic D3 - Colorado red (clear coat) G2 - Redfire (water based) clear coat L2 - True Blue (water...

Well, my replacement hood blanket came in today. No, not to replace anything, but to go into storage in case I ever want to put it back to "stock". Call me anal. :rolling: Anyway, I couldn't find any good pictures in the archive of the process, so below are a few I took today. I need to...

Living in a state with front plates I guess I have to have one. :gt: Another member on the board made a bracket I bought months before, I forget his name now. Anyway, I finally installed it. A simple arrangement that bolts to the lower intercooler radiator bracket. I added a black frame...

I bought some grill inserts from http://www.jmsproductsinc.com for both the upper and lower openings: I installed the lower as it came, but I didn't like the way the upper looked when it was installed, nor did I like the way it attached. That's not to say JMS didn't make a good...

I took my side scoop off today, as some of you might remember it has a scratch that needs fixing. While doing that I took some pictures for all of you. First, here's what it looks like with it removed: Note the 6 white clips that hold it, and the water shield. Behind the water...

Ok, so my goal here is to make my vert stiffer (if only slightly) than a stock coupe. The factory subframe connectors, while better than on previous cars, just don't do it. So the question is, how's the best way to do it. Obviously full length welded in subframes are part of the equasion...

The only one I'm sure has one to fit the '03 is the Kenny Brown. What other options are there? The interesting details (to me) are is it a two position, three position (one on firewall) or four position (two on firewall), and does it mount around or under the shock mounts?

I got my accufab tonight. Club group purchase. Still haven't worked out my mod plan 100% so for now it will sit on the shelf...but given the price I couldn't resist buying it now. :) Looks like a good piece. I opted for the "polished" finish, and the "power pipe". I'm ever so slightly...

So, how do you remove the side scoops? I need to remove one for painting (has a scratch in it). I figured it would be in my Workshop manual, but under exterior trim it just mentions it's a trim bit but doesn't tell you how to put it on or off. My guess is you take the rear seat out, interior...

I just got back from Battlefield. Good people over there. I bought an F-150 from them a few years ago, and ordered my Cobra from them. After polishing it I found a few minor scratches. Took it back today they buffed two out, are ordering a new taillight (lense is scratched), and when I bring...

The stock wheels are 17x9 with a 5x4.5 bolt pattern, and a +23MM offset. Is that correct?
