    The Terminator and Fair Market Value

    Note: I posted this a few months ago in a KBB argument thread. There was some really good feedback from the community, so I finally decided to post it as its own thread in hopes that the mods will sticky it. Maybe this will help curb a lot of the discussions/arguments about how much people...

    Nitto 315s NT05 = Good Street Tire

    I bought two 315s and had them installed about a month ago to replace the treadless 275 555RIIs the car came with when I bought them. They were bought with the intent of being street cruisers/pullers and I'll have another set of drags for the track. I've been nothing but happy. The road noise...

    Advice: The Driveway That Tried To Murder My Cobra

    03 Cobra Stock ride height 275/40/17 all around The driveway below murders cars. My Cougar and my wife's Stratus (she had it before I met her!) rub regularly but they are DDs. To prep for the Cobra, I built some ghetto-rigged 2x12s to help get the car into the driveway. It works but...

    Plan My Stance

    This is the car the day I got it off the truck. Ride height looks stock to me. Rims are SVT chrome 17s. Not sure if they are OEM or not. Chroms on the two front wheels is peeling badly on the inside, the rear ones are ok. Front tires are: Riken Raptor ZR 275-40-17 - Tread on a scale of...

    I Need to Replace The Valve Cover Gasket?

    Some of you might remember me from such recent threads as "that guy who just learned what a Helicoil is" and "My wife naked for your car advice". I'm back with another question. :) I swapped the old plugs out (I think they were OEM; gapped at 45) and put in new NGK TR6 coppers. Here's some...

    Sparkplug Sleeve?

    I just came in from the garage after pulling the old plugs out of the car and dropping in the NGKs gapped at 35 (coming from what appears to be the stock, original sparkplugs). The biggest question I have is: what is up with the threading on the second one from the left? I thought...

    Mustang Delete on Pass Airbag Cover?

    The last thing in my car that identifies my car as a Mustang by name or logo is on the passenger side airbag cover. I'd like to figure out the best way to alter this, while maintaining a "stock" look to the cover. Any ideas would be appreciated. I want to debadge the car from its Mustang...

    Coolant Disappearing Act

    Busy morning for me :) I'm trying to track down a possibly major problem in my new car. The other day, I popped the hood while filling up at the wallet sucking station and noticed a small little trickle of coolant coming out from under the cap. After wiping it off, it persisted...but it...

    INFERRED_EGO_TEMPERATURE vs. EGT?

    Hello all, I'm aware that INFERRED EGO TEMPERATURE is not the same as a true EGT tap. So far as I have been able to tell from reading patent applications, Inferred EGO (or inferred exhaust gas oxygen temperature for all those using Google search to find this thread later) seems to be a...

    Datalogging and Normal Temperatures

    I've been trying to find any information I could on what could be considered normal temps when datalogging. I have datalogged both my Cougar and Terminator for a nice baseline between the two, but we're really talking about apples and oranges here. Would it be possible for someone to share...

    New from MN

    I just posted my welcome post in another forum, but I'm John from the Twin Cities. Here's a pic of my car the day I got it, right after I cleaned her up a bit. I'm still going to strip and wetsand the entire girl, refresh the interior back to showroom quality, and do whatever I can without...
