4.6 Thunderbird
Are the 4.6s in the 94 Thunderbirds the same as in the 96-98 Mustangs? A corworker of mine recently got a good deal on a 94 Tbird LX (I assume its a 4.6). However the car does have a couple problems...

That one reminds me a lot of the FR500s on the Mustang. I know they make that one in my size but the offset is just a tad off from the factory, but it should still work from what I was told. Those...

Re: What is in style now??
Is it illegal to have a small strip of tint across the top of the windshield? My Mustang had a strip like that and it was installed by a state trooper.

Re: am i over waxing?
You need to try to get bugs off as soon as possible. If you let them set too long, they will become set into your paint and actually will eat away at a little bit of the paint. When this occurs, the...

Re: am i over waxing?
Im not too sure about using the Turtle Wax stuff that often. Many OTC 'waxes' are synthetic waxes with some cleaning agents mixed in with them. Each time you use an abrasive product, it takes off...

Re: Bugs on front bumper
Ive used the Turtle Wax spray on bug remover before. It does OK, but nothing super special. Once bugs have been on there long enough, they get baked into your paint and you will have to use an...

Re: claybar ??
I seriously doubt it will. Most 'carnauba' wax you buy in a store doesn't have the concentration of carnauba as products like S100, P2S1, and Pinnacle Souverian. I doubt you want to buy Pinnacle...

Re: claybar ??

Re: Tires.....ASAP!
I would say the GSD3s are the better tire out of those two choices. C5 guys really like them as an upgrade from the stock Goodyear runflats, but they can be a little pricey. Another option, if your...

I like the Clay Magic clayber. You can pick it up from Autozone, so you will save $$$ and hassle from not having to have it shipped.

Re: New tires for the SVT focus.............
Im really thinking about going with Kumhos on my C5 too. You can pick up a Kumho MX EMT tire for around $170ish each for my fronts and $230ish for the rear. Thats pretty good for a set of runflats.
