More so doing this to get a tally going on what all I have done and get a ballpark on what I've spent on this thing (I'm sure it'll...

    45 degrees and sunny today, went for a drive for the first time in a while!

    took my car for a drive today for the first time since hub swapping and doing the brake upgrade. Sure felt nice to drive it after 2 months of it sitting! Cobra calipers and rotors, we'll see how long the calipers stay nice and clean.

    brake problems..already

    As some of you know I converted to mustang hubs and put cobra front cobra brakes on my car..well I'm having some issues with the brakes now, I don't believe it has anything to do with the front brakes though, I think it is the rears that are giving me issues. To start with, when I pulled...

    changing plugs and wires..question

    Done a little searching and I've seen a few different opinions on the procedure. I bought some autolite 764s and a set of new motorcraft plug wires. Just so I get this right, plugs should be gapped at .054-.056, torqued to 7 ft/lbs correct? Also I've seen some say to use antiseize on...
