Ride Home Track Times Dynoe Runs F.A.Q.

 
      Frequently Asked Questions:
 

Welcome to my frequently asked question page, I’ll try to answer to my best knowledge all the questions I have received thru out the years of modifying my car. If you have any question that wasn’t answer on this section please feel free to leave a question on my guestbook and I’ll try to answer this question as soon as possible. I do check CarDomain section frequently so it won’t take me long to answer you. Thank you again for checking out my ride and please don’t forget to rate my ride.

 

How did I do the layout of this CarDomain page?
How did it? Now that CarDomain lets you use more than few html tags in their website you have more freedom on what you can do to your page layout. The way I did it was using Dreamweaver which is a web design program used by professional on the industry. When I was satisfy with what I wanted I copy and pasted the code into the CarDomain page. There is an icon label HTML; click on the icon and a new window will pop out for you to modify the html code. Did I mention I'm a web designer? :)

Where did I get my muffler tip from?
The tips for my muffler I got them at a local exhaust shop when I was living in Miami, FL. I believe any local exhaust shop should have them. You can always check eBay.

Where did I get the pods from?
I purchase the fiberglass pods from PFYC.com. They have pod for 2 and 3 gauges. I believe they have 3 colors to choose from.

Does the high speed fan switch help much?
The speed fan switch does help you out specially if you are stock on a heavy traffic and your car temperature goes up. You just flip the switch on and the fans starts cooling you car; not much but you do see some temperature drop. Also is good after running a ¼  mile that the car needs to cool off faster.

I'm I planning on getting a turbo?
The answer is YES. I’m currently on the process of getting the parts that I need for the setup. I’m planning on doing a rear turbo setup were the turbo is on the back were the muffler is located. I’m using this website as reference to do my rear mounted turbo. Check it out if you want to do a setup like this one; is very useful.

How did I get the gas door on my car and where did I get it?
To get the fuel gas door on the car I fallow the instructions on this website. The only thing I did different was to purchase some bicycle fasteners that you can get at any bicycle shop. The reason I got this fasteners is because the Mustang fuel door only comes with two screws and they are to short to safely secure the fuel door to your car and this fastener are much longer that the ones you get with the fuel door.  The fuel door that I issued was from a Ford Mustang 94-04; just do a search on your favorite search engine and you will find them. I use an original Mustang fuel gas door, no aftermarket.

Does the gas cap improve your 1/4 times? Any the rims you have are going to hurt your times because its just that much more weight the engine has to turn over
