    Brakes Locked Up

    I had a brake master give out on me. Seals leaked, brake fluid everywhere. Cool. So, per recommendations around here, as my S5 had its booster bypassed long ago, I ordered and installed a Series II master. Bench bled. Installed. After what seemed like too little bleeding, I had solid pedal...

    Photo Contest

    It's getting close to that time of year again, when we freak out because we haven't been given enough photos to do a calendar. That's right. We'Be asked and asked, and we don't have 12 photos. And I have two cars. We need photos now! So I'm making a unilateral decision and opening a photo...

    Saggy Rear End...

    ...Not just me, but my car as well. I've got a conversion outfitted with an 89 Mustang rear end fitted with 89 Mustang 15" wheels. Either the previous owner didn't narrow it or didn't narrow it enough, so on big bumps, the tires rub on the inner lip of the wheel well. It hasn't been a huge...

    Dear Previous Owner...

I've already read a few things here on the forum over the years, but let's see what else is out there. So let's write the letters we wish we could send to...
