Ok, well my buddy and I changed out his front calipers on his 2000 v6 stang, and I was going through the routine of using C clamps to put the brake pistons in so I can fit new pads in. Well I noticed a leak, and it appeared to be brake fluid. Sure enough I followed it to the master cylinder and...
Someone From Msx Needs To Call Me Or The Shop Right Now And Answer Your Phones.
You all remember my other thread posted about the multiple delays about shipping, promised failed shipping dates, etc. Well that all got straightened out. My motor was FINALLY shipped, and it got here today (4/12)...
Before I start, let me say this post is in no way meant to slander anyone at MSX, it is just to inform the Lightning community of my aggitation as I have no where else to turn (I will talk about why).
First of all, I wanna reiderate that my complaint is not with the people directly. Billy is...
I lowered my car about 6 months ago. ever since then, slowly but surely my passangers side front ball joint has worn away. The truck makes a creeking noise when I execute full point turns, and it pulls hard to the right while driving.
I lowered my car by putting shackles in the rear and...
hey guys...i recently bought a set of fog lights off ebay....the fitment was good, but the bracket to hold the lamp in was obviously NOT made directly for the lightning...it seems I got a generic kit. So, I took them off. I made that mistake, and am now just looking to buy a set of stock fogs...
I put these stupid aftermarket fog lights in. They had their own wiring harnesses. The lights hook up to my battery. After I hooked everything up, my car wouldnt start. Battery power is fine, though (radio/lights/etc work). But now whenever i try to start my car, it just makes a loud rattling...
Some peice of shit stole my clear corner lights off my truck sometime last night. I woke up to go to class and walk outside and my right side corner is gone. I guess he got spooked cause he didnt take the other side. This is the 3rd break in of a car in a month....and lake mary is supposed to be...
My 1st motor spun a bearing because it burned up all it's oil and ran on very low oil undetected for too long. (I had no pulley or anything on this motor). I got it replaced less than a year ago with a remanufactored factory motor from ford. Now this one is starting to burn oil as well. I change...
My little brother has a 96 Cobra and he needs a new transmission. He was offered a t56 with bellhousing for $1,200 by Lamotta Performance. He wants to know what else he would need to make it work in his car, he heard he would need a new mount and driveshaft... is that all?? Thanks
Pics do NOT do it justice. It looks SICK SICK SICK on a black lightning, it contrasts the black paint perfectly. It's sooo shiny now, the chrome finish is mirror I can see myself clearly in the reflection. anyway heres the pics
Ok, so About 3 weeks ago my brake pad had worn down into nothing. The shop told me I had "at least 25% left on my pad" which is why I kept it on. Well it turns out there was nothing left and I was running on no pad, just metal on metal. Of course this warped my rotor, but as a side effect rusted...
My truck was pulling to the right before I got an alignment, and it still pulls to the right just as much after the alignment. I took my baby in last thursday to get new ceramic pads, a new front rotor and an alignment. I thought it wasnt supposed to pull to the side after an alignment. :shrug...
Ok guys so some of you remember my post about the projectors in the off topic forum, and most of you liked them. Well I decided to order them. They came in a few days ago and I installed them and finally got some pictures up.
Current Cosmetic Mods: Red Calipers, JLP Shackles in rear, 1 coil...
So last nite my Idle would start to get rough every now and then...it would drop to around 550rpm and lope up and down, sounded like I had cams. So I thought a hose was loose. I popped the hood and THIS IS WHAT I SAW
I dont know how the hell it broke but as you can see the...
We got the stock lights off easy. Now I bought these:

The bottom strip on the main two peices has two bulbs and wires running out of them that...
So I did the oil seperator mod, and ever since that little seal on my head has been leaking. I think I accidentally pulled it outta the head while doing the mod and ever since I put it back in it has been leaking.
A picture is worth a thousand words so here are three:
What should I do?

I love the way they look but can't decide if they would look tight on a black Lightning, or a little ricey. :shrug: Now that i'm...
So my friend just recently got an 04 Lightning, and put exactly the same stuff on his truck that mine has + a 180 degree thermostat and the VB tranny mod. He took his to the exact same shop to get the mods installed on the exact same dyno. His truck dyno'ed at 398rwhp/500rwtq, and mine dyno'ed...
I went to the gym, came back expecting some quality feedback and it's gone. wtf? :shrug:
Well anyways, I am a big boy and can do a pretty good job of controlling my emotions. I don't see the harm of possibly hanging out with her. I'm not looking for a quick f#ck or anything. At the very...
So I cut my coils up front about a month ago. We cut 1 coil off each stock coil. When we put the shock back on, we took off the rubber boot that goes on top of the shock (STUPID!). We also failed to remove the bumpstops. ALSO the bolt underneathe the shocks got lose and one of the metal peices...
So I went ahead and ordered those projector headlights that half of you like and dislike on April 21st. I paypalled the ebay seller immediently after the auction closed. I bought it from "Proexhaust <[email protected]>"....well on their site right HERE it allows you to track the status of...
Ok, so I downloaded the DS downloader and the updated version 10 release. I saved them both to my desktop. I have my predator plugged in to the sereal port in the rear, with the power adaptor OFF. When I run the DS downloader I use advanced tuning to try and upload the v10 release file on the...
After about a month of searching for black housing headlights, and finding none exactly how I like, I gave up on the idea and settled for a pair of diamond cut clear ones. Now the only question was, which kind? I didn't want to get replacement stockers b/c thats boring, but I didn't like most of...
Well I installed JLP shackles in the rear. That went flawlessly. Then I cut 1 coil up front. That didn't go flawlessly. It kept making clunking noises when I went over bumps, and the truck bounces up and down more when I hit bumps. Also, when I execute full point turns (or sometimes not even...
