The alignment has nothing to do with bumpstop clearance.... You may only hear one sound without a bumptop....Once single thud, as the mount bends up, or dents the control arm... And then nothing... Bumpstops are important, do not run bumpstopless.... The front stocks are not ideal for...

No doubt, luckily the shocks on the front have that nice long bar section.... Just right for trimming, sleaving, and rewelding!

It is easy to trim the stops and well worth what you get out of it, but if you are going to that extent its so much better to use a better quality bump stop... Energy suspension has some low profile bump stops that are great! It might take a little hole enlarging with a drill but well worth...

Here are a few pics of my X-Sport before I got rid of it.

Yip sure am, I'll be in town until the 20th of Nov. Well have to get together sometime.... There is going to be a small meet-up on the 1st downtown savannah.... Mostly VW's but you never know what will be there! BTW 4 of my 5 cars are setup with a direct hardwire. The fuse can really bite...

Fuses for the alt to bat line are pretty much a waste. If anything you would want to use a breaker with an external trip light and not a high current fuse. Much cheaper in the long run, and plenty of current overhead!

Correct Sir... Run a piece of 0g from the bolt down terminal on the alt to the positive on the battery..... Also its a good idea to run a strand from the negative of the battery to the frame with a piece of 0g. Then ground your big current devices direct to the frame. Good luck!

Personally I am a big fan of WIX filters. NGK or Bosch Plugs. Mobil 1 Synthetic or Royal Purple for the oil. Redline products for rest of the the fluids, where applicable. I have owned several sets of shocks over the years, and by far hands down the best have been the Edelbrock IAS...

You have the same choice on directional tires, they can be mounted white out or in. Makes no difference, same process....

Correct Sir!

Ive had the KYB GR2's and IAS's on my sport... I had IAS's on my 1st gen... Still haven't seen a shock that makes such a difference as the IAS's. Can't say enough good about them!

For everyone! Whats needed: 2 X 30-40amp Bosch Style SPDT Relays /w sockets 2X 10g Fuse Holders /w 30 amp fuses 10g Stranded Core Wire 16-14g Stranded Core Wire Misc ring terminals, crimp connectors, electrical tape, zip ties, wire cutters...etc The usual wiring stuff. Part 1 - Upgrade the...

Yes, that is more than likely your problem. Ballasts take a lot of energy to arc the bulbs. The standard wiring is not nearly enough to power them properly... Instead of buying a harness you can simply make your own for a lot less... You will need two relays, two fuse holders, and some...

Is your hid kit using a separate fused/relayed wiring harness, or is it the type that just piggybacks onto the OEM wiring for the ballast power? Depending on the setup, it sounds like a bad ballast, have you tried swapping ballasts from side to side to see if that is the problem? The Halogen...

DRL's off is your best bet. 9007's by default are a dual filament bulb... Hid's for the 9007 base come in four configurations. 1. Single Capsule HID High Beam Only 2. Dual Capsule HID High/Low 3. Single Capsule HID Low /w Halogen High Beam 4. Single Capsule HID /w sliding reflector for...

Very worth while, if you plan on making some real power! Also if you like to have a ton of aftermarket parts available its your best choice by far! Good luck, its pretty straight forward!

Tried it once, but its hard to beat dollar store shaving cream.... Especially considering that stuff is like 6-10 bucks a tube...

Here is a little tip to keep your hands a little cleaner.... :eek:SHAVING CREAM:eek: Before you start, apply to your hands and arms... Rub in! When you are finished it makes all that gunk come off so much easier! GoJo or Lava for the really tough stuff! Welcome to the site!

I voted black out.... If you have nice tires with the brand showing its like advertising.... For some idiot to steal them.... At least if they are blacked then you wont see "EXPENSIVE TIRE HERE" from a mile away.... Just a thought!

I use to have terrible charging problems on my Sport. I recommend everyone just bite the bullet and get a higher output alt. You will not regret it, anything is better than coming out to a dead battery. I got a 250 amp setup from motorcityreman.com, like 5 years ago, great service, and...

They are ok, but light output is not focused into the lens directly. With these the light hits the side of the housing. A set of leds correctly aimed makes a world of difference.

Yes, but average bulb life is still around 3,200 hours vs 2,000 on an average halogen. Why put the extra wear and tear on the bulb?

No problem, if its not that then I can step you through more in depth troubleshooting. Feel free to IM with any questions.

Yip, its under your drivers side dash in the fuse panel. Its the round thing! If you need I can take pics, but its very easy to find. Any auto parts store will have it in stock! Just pulls out, and pop in the new one! Simple!

The ballasts aren't affected, they are used for the initial arc of the bulb.... Flipping them on and off will shorten the life though..... The only thing about DRL is the life of the bulb.

When it comes to the flasher problem, check the cheapest part first. If the lights are coming on but not blinking the flasher module is more than likely just stuck in the closed position. Pretty normal for a module that is that age, they just get worn out and finally contact and spot weld...

You will probably have to go to another shop, or have a friend take them in for you.... But either way, if you take in wheels with no center caps, and tell them exactly what you want there isn't much they can do about it. Or just buy the tires from the cheapest location and find a good mom...

Sounds like you just need a new flasher module, super cheap! AC you can do yourself, but best left for a shop.. If its low, its for a reason..

Do you just want to disable the DRL's after the HID install?

Take the wheels off, and take them to them. Don't tell them what they are for, go with specific size in mind. Don't deviate from the plan... A ton of shops wont touch explorers for anything other than stock size. Ever since the whole "rollover" issue. Not to mention the issues with...

Damn, first ones Ive seen like that on the 2nd gens.... My mistake....

Look again guys, it looks like it was mono leafed from that angle....

*Nevermind*

Not hard to do at all, the boards are double sided and cad designed, they use 5mm leds, but ultra bright ones.... They will be fully sealed, with only the pigtail leading from the housing. Direct wire in any combination you choose. There will be no assembly on the users end. There will be...

Direct from ford... http://www.fordracingparts.com/crateengine/302smallblock.asp Sure it is a "built" engine but you need to check your phrasing as well..... Sure the "Stock" can range from 215 to 250, but when you are doing a swap most of the restrictive parts are going to be replaced...

Speaking of LED puddle lamps.... Complete replacement for inner housing and lens! 96 LED's Total 48 LED's Per Side 16 LED's White Puddle Lights 16 LED's User Pref. City Lights 8 LED's Signal Repeater 8 LED's Alarm Blue/Red Flash Ill be releasing them in limited quantity, board...

The 302 crates come in at almost 350 from ford... Granted that isn't a "stock" engine but seriously the 300 range is pretty foolproof on a stock 302 after getting rid of all the restrictions.....

Royal Purple, and Redline Products only in the X's for me!:thumbsup:

The OHV is a 244cid V6.... The 302 and 351W are V8... Stock Numbers 244 is a 4.0L = 160 HP 302 is a 5.0L = 300+HP 351 is a 5.8L = 350~400HP Huge difference in power potential, and available parts. Almost ZERO performance parts for the OHV, but all the parts in the world for the 302 or...

302/351 swap would have been a better choice than a rebuild. The OHV's just aren't for power. 302's are a dime a dozen not to mention the tons of parts available. The 302 is a proven performer! But you are already into a rebuild on this engine, so i'm sure you hate to hear this especially...
