Guido almost bit the Dust today.
happens every day around here, ill give you a tip. dont lock up the brakes if you want to steer, i slam on the brakes all the time but i dont try to lock them up. usually it happens so often (illinois drivers really are horrid) that i often just leave myself a space where i can run off the road instead.

Removing/replacing rear diff... need advice

Northern tool MIG 135 review
if you have a nice "stick welder" what i would do, and am eventually, is to buy a wire feeder for it. sure it wont have all the bells and whistles of a normal mig, like spray mode etc, but it will get the job done.

another Q about the fly wheel
the light flywheels vary from manufacturer. they should clearly specify the weight. they also should provide the surface area. but its almost always the same as oem.

Ebay lights.
those ebay lights arent very good, the beam pattern is pretty bad. stick with a name brand like hella or cibie, and make sure you get them in E codes, NOT DOT.

I'm on a RallyAmerica Crew!!
sounds like the mustang's driver was very good. no matter what he was running in it i still cant imagine that chassis as anything but a handicap. no evos? are the times published somewhere?

I'm on a RallyAmerica Crew!!
so um how well does a mustang do? those cars have a pretty bad suspension geometry from the factroy, as well as being really front heavy i imagine it must have been a handful!
