  1. Sault Ste Marie

    Not from there, but I've driven through it and ate lunch there one day. I thought it was one of the most beautiful and interesting places to eat. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and I hope you find a friend!
  2. Car drives straight, pulls to the right with acceleration?

    Just to add to the knowledge base, I've had the same issue and have spent a considerable amount of time and money trying to find the problem. After finding this post I was positive I found the problem. I clocked all the bushings, took it for a test drive... and the pull was still there. I...
  3. Anyone using a car refrigerator?

    I've got a pretty cool, 9 day road trip coming up. I was hoping to collect some of the local must try foods long the way. I've used coolers with ice for shorter trips but for a rip over a week, I thought it made sense to look at car refrigerators. Has anyone had any experience with them? Just...
  4. Difficulty removing mt-82 without lift??

    I did my clutch on jack stands in my garage. 23" is about right. I got the Harbor Freight tranny jack and that made it easier to control as well.
  5. When to prefer aftermarket vs OEM parts?

    OEM stuff is usually a compromise. It's made to appeal to the person that bought the car because it's a cute convertible, the guy who drives in city traffic and to the track enthusiasts. Aftermarket can be far more focused on a specific goal so they can be very focused.
  6. When to prefer aftermarket vs OEM parts?

    24 years in sales/customer service at one of the big part stores, my experience is: -You get what you pay for. - OEM stuff will fit the best out of the box and last but may have limitations. - There are trade offs for the high performance parts. A lot of people like the idea of dailying a...
  7. Drilled and slotted rotors

    I was under the impression that European cars still allowed the use of materials that produced gasses which was why some europeans sporty cars still had the drilled rotors... at least this was true 10 years ago.
  8. Ohio Thread

    Beautiful car! I use the big ones for all my parts. I live next to Summit so I'm there all the time. I order from CJ, Steeda, LMR a lot too. I usually do my own installs so not sure about the shops, but Pauls in Cinncy I hear great stuff about.
  9. Installing BMR CBK760, replace the whole arm too?

    I just removed my lower control arm to install BMR's CBK760. I was getting ready to take them to get pressed in and started wondering if it would make more sense to replace the full arm and ball joint at the same time? I've read the performance pack cars eat ball joints and wondered how much...
  10. GT4 Win at VIR (Ford 1st and 2nd)

    I just got to watch the race today. Wow, that was fantastic. Joey Hand and Billy Johnson nose to tail for the win. Awesome.
  11. Abs/advanced/airbag/tractioncontrol/ lights on. Bad speed sensor or thrust washer?

    On my car, its was a ground underneath the airbag in the engine bay. Unbolted, cleaned and reinstalled and everything was fine.
  12. Northeast Ohio s550's

    I'll have to keep an eye open for the green Mustang. Won't mis that!
  13. Northeast Ohio s550's

    Mogadore! Hopefully Summit will have the Mustang show this summer. It would be great to meet everyone.
  14. Clutch install, backyard doable?

    SheepDog, thanks for the advice. I ended up recentering the disc, but really pushing in on that plastic alignment tool to make sure it didn't move this time. It slid together first time this way. I appreciate the response.
