Have a 2003 Vert, 28k miles, with subframe connectors, built IRS, H&R race springs, OEM Bilsteins. It doesn't really feel sure footed under acceleration or around corners. I expect some of this due to the vert but wondering if replacing the OEM shocks and struts is a good idea, they were old...

I'm on Hot Rod Power Tour, many states away from home, and am experiencing a no start condition where we believe fuel pumps are the issue. A day ago I got a CEL for code P1090. The car would continue to start and run without trouble so I cleared the code. I went WOT today on the freeway and lost...

I posted recently after replacing my front/rear with LEDs and flasher with the LED slow flasher module. I guess I forgot to test with the lights on. The signals don't blink at all with the lights on, but do with the lights off. The module sounds like it's going haywire. I swapped in the original...

Trying to find the right combo of LEDs in the front, rear, with the sequential tails and LED flasher. What's your setup? I filmed across four options, which looks right to you?

I have a 2003 Cobra convertible with full length subframes and FTBR IRS rebuild kit with Ford Racing diff cover and Baer 6p big brake kit up front. It's a summer/nice-day car only, have never been to the track. The car has 30k on it and dynoed 620rwhp. It floats under acceleration. I used to...

Car is sitting on the street in front of my house. I had a spirited run before I entered my neighborhood but when I put the clutch in the car stalled and wouldn't restart. It turns over quickly and tries to start, even stumbles and sparks a few times, but will not stay running. Am thinking fuel...

Have installed a TVS 2.3 with GT500 single-blade throttle body. My original Cobra CAI wouldn't fit because this TB is just huge. I was able to have a VMP 5" intake for the 03 Cobra (VMP 5" INTAKE KIT FOR 03-04 COBRA) which includes a slot style MAF housing and sensor. With this huge intake, my...

I'm in Cleveland. I have the stocker blower with a 2.76" pulley, stock MAF and fuel. I have a VMP TVS 2.3 2nd gen, VMP MAF, VMP BAP, injectors waiting to go on. I'm having a shop install it but they do not have a dyno. There's a shop near Columbus, OH, about a 2 hour drive, that I'd like to tune...

One of the big things I noticed after installing the Baer 13" Pro+ front brake kit (13" rotors, 6 pot calipers, stainless lines) was a shift in brake bias. It will stop on a dime if I'm hard enough onto the pedal but the stock feel felt more dialed in. I've noticed alot of rear pad dust. I'm...

Swapped out my halogen bulbs for LEDs using these bulbs. I have a sequential taillight plug-and-play harness and the AM slower flasher. As expected, the turn signal hyper flashes because the LEDs do not provide enough resistance. I ordered the AM slow flasher for LEDs and installed it. With the...

Has anyone installed an aftermarket mirror on a convertible? There's power to the mirror already, am hoping an aftermarket mirror with compass/temp/dimming and map lights is available and someone has tried it.

I haven't posted in awhile, but I still have my 03 SB Vert. I'm sort of thought about what is coming next since I haven't done much. It has a 2.76" pulley, tune, CAI, high flow midpipe, Borla catback, H&R springs, subframes, heat exchanger, IRS brace, and shifter. This year I participated in...

Recently learned that an oil separator (catch can) or breather is cheap insurance on our cars. What's the verdict on a catch can or a valve cover breather? Or both? http://jlttruecoldair.com/ZenCart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=378&products_id=1035...

I'm a big fan of Doug DeMuro, have read his book Plays With Cars. He has a hilarious Viper review up now that he bought his first one, an iconic '97 GTS in blue with white stripes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BovcC2jQPlQ

I bought my 2016 XSport a week ago, but I haven't had a chance to really clean it up until today. Full wash/sealant/wax job on all painted surfaces, wheels. This one has the 401A equipment package (cooled front seats, ambient lighting, etc), twin-panel moonroof, and second row bucket seats...

SOLD! I used this setup on my 2013 Edge before I sold it. I have since sold my Edge, but have a full roof mount kit that 100% works for 2006-2014 Edges with the Vista roof. I ran the roof rails with my Vista roof for about a year, but only used the crossbars and bicycle mounts once. They are...

I know there's some bias here toward Ford products, but wanted to get your opinion anyway. I am cross shopping new and CPO'd 2016 Explorer Sports w/ 401A package/moonroof/2nd row buckets and 2016 GMC Acadia Denalis. I'm less familiar with the Acadias but have driven a '16 XSport and a '17...

With all the shit happening in the world... take a moment to read about Andre the Giant and his drinking escapades. http://www.foxsports.com/wwe/gallery/best-andre-the-giant-drinking-stories-072516 The guy was a monster.

Anyone know of a busy Ford Fusion forum? I'm looking at '10-'12 Fusion Sports and want to ask some questions.

I've noticed recently that my clutch pedal feels spongy. It's not a smooth linear movement when I push it in. Sometimes at stops, I hear a weird mechanical noise when the clutch pedal is pressed. It's really quiet, goes away when I let the clutch out and starts moving again. After a hard run it...

I stumbled upon this episode on netflix and watched a few more about the 2005-2006 Ford GT. Outstanding cars. Wish I was in a position to buy one. The new GTs will be worth a fortune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpIpUqwaNcY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UAnlMNvK8Y

Getting my CCW soon. Interested in compact carry firearms for every day carry (to the mall, craigslist deals, etc). I have a Beretta 92A1 already so 9mm is a plus but not required. I know everyone will have an opinion. Let's hear it.

Super interesting. https://vimeo.com/128373915

Didn't see another thread about this, but I found it to be too interesting to not make a thread about it. The Big Short is a book by Michael Lewis. I read it twice, then saw the film last weekend. Regardless if you see the film or not, the book is worth reading. It provides you additional...
