What Toma said regarding the Mustang vs. Dynojet numbers and the differential on my MD600 vs. his MD250 is accurate based on my own back to back testing. The Porche example cited indicates that...
A map, directions, and contact information are on my web site. Just do a google search, then go to the contact page.
It will help things go faster if you guys do a couple of quick things before...

My others are an 02 GT Convertible with heads, cams, intake, headers, exhaust, pullies, and gears, and a 90 coupe with a 351W that ran 11.93@116 last year on motor. I also have a V10 super duty, a 98...
You guys are right - the price is at the upper end of the scale for a Fox3 Mustang, however as I said, the car is at the top of the scale condition wise as well. If you're serious, give me a call and...
1991 Ford Mustang LX, 5.0, 5 Spd, Every mechanical part is new or reconditioned, including new brakes, suspension, oil pump and every gasket in the engine. Ported E7TE heads, ARP head bolts,...
If you are talking about beating an M3 in the 1/4, you might do it with just a Novi 1000 which is about $2500. A Novi 1000, TFS heads and intake, and some exhaust work will run you $5000 to $6000....
Tell her to call Ed Wan at Cam Clark Ford in Airdrie. I always buy my cars with a telephone tender, and somehow Ed always wins the bid because he is the cheapest. I've bought a couple of Mustangs...
Is it a carb car? If so, it's possible that a piece of crud got in the bowl and is making the float stick, possibly flooding it. Just a wild guess.

Plug it in where you would have plugged in your cable. If your antenna is 300 Ohm, get a 300-75 Ohm converter from Radio Shack.

The users of this board are not exactly representative of the general gas buying public, but the number one reason why Canadians buy gas where they do is location, followed distantly by price. Every...
What Ford dealership was this?
Your friend should talk to the sales manager at the dealership. Failing that, the problem can be referred to Ford's ombudsman for resolution. The procedure for...
An example of double clutching for a 3-2 downshift:
- Step on the clutch
- Shift from 3 to neutral
- Engage the clutch
- Blip the throttle
- Step on the clutch

I have to tell you, my Ford dealer cheerfully solved a major out of warranty issue for me on a Mustang, and has always been cheerful and prompt in dealing with any warranty issues, including the...
I built several 1.6TB single cabinet systems like this using both striping and JBOD to get a single logical drive. A cabinet that will hold 10 drives, with power supplies costs around $400. Try...
The funny part about this law is that my factory Mustang is not technically legal, but my '90 coupe with the 3.5" dual exhaust is because it's quieter than open headers, and the dumps are the same...
I've spent some time reading the law on exhaust systems since I have an extensively modified system on my car. The basic requirements for exhaust under the new Traffic Safety Act in Alberta (and it's...
One side benefit of EGR is that the car will run a little better right after startup on a cold day. It's almost not worth mentioning though.

That's friggin' hilarious! An air chisel ... :)

Maybe your fuel pump is bad. If you put a little gas in the carb and it starts briefly but won't keep running, a fuel pump problem is a definite possibility.

I personally think that 8000 rpm is a more realistic goal for a 302. In most cases the reason for these kind of revs is to make power with a naturally aspirated engine, so I question your combination...

You are right, the diesel example was not the best one to use. On the other hand, it is simply not true that larger displacement engines will always get worse milage than smaller displacement engines...
Grunt:
The first thing that comes to mind is that your speedometer might not have been recalibrated after you changed the tires. What is the stock size and did you adjust the speedometer after the...
The Navigator and Aviator are different vehicles. Also, unlike the Explorer, the Aviator uses a 32 valve DOHC V8 with a variable geometry intake. With this engine, you could call it the "Cobra" of...
I don't think Ford will be offering a manual transmission in the Lightning any time soon - the new F-150's are all automatics too.
I kind of agree with the opinion that it seems a little out of...
While I realize that Fords are not a popular choice among the users of Beyond, it doesn't change the fact that vehicles like the Lincoln Aviator are extremely competitive with the Infiniti FX45.
...
The first suggestion that comes to my mind is to get a Ford. :)
Outside of that, I'd get the V8 and stop in at Map Town on the way home and buy a portable Garmin GPS receiver.

I'm going to suggest that you should run Linux if all you are doing is internet and typing. It will handily meet all of your stated requirements for performance and reliability on the platform you...
I was in Seattle this summer, and was amazed to discover that this is the standard method for getting rid of stuff because there is no Bargain Finder!

The thing that I think is the funniest about all of this is a recent claim I saw from a satellite provider on TV that satellite piracy poses a public safety risk because it may cause interference...
Put it in bargain finder as a freebie. Someone will come and take it off your hands.

Another thing to check, probably before the MAF and O2 sensors, is the idle air control valve, EGR spacer, and throttle body. You can get some nasty buildup in this area on older motors. A can of...
The sony tech center in Calgary will swap your unit for a refurb on the spot for $100. You can reach them through the 800 number on Sony's site.

I'm using a Hauppauge WinTV Go and an Nvidia GeForce4 MX-460 video card. The Hauppauge card uses the BT878 chipset, and although this is a pretty basic card with no hardware encoding, it's about as...
Asus Pundit, or the new Digimatrix. See the ASUS web site.

What really matters on a clutch break in is the number of engage/disengage cycles. You definitely need to drive a few hundred kms of city driving before using the clutch aggressively, like wide open...
I was just wondering if anyone else on here is running Myth TV on their linux system?
