| Juiced up Ford Muscle |
10 Feb |
Everyone thinks that juicing in sports is a bad thing, with one huge excepting - auto racing! I’ve been working on juicing up my Mustang for the last year or so to be able to take her down to the tracks and run a few quarter miles. There is some good money to be made making side bets with other drivers. I only recommend doing this if you have full faith in your car. For me, my Mustang should be able to outperform most any other on the track. I’ve only put genuine OEM Ford parts into her so I know the quality of performance is there.
As for the upgrades, there are so many to choose from. So many different brands exist out there that the choices can become confusing. Just remember one thing; if it doesn’t say OEM, don’t buy it! I’ve gotten taken to the cleaners before I knew any better on cheap knockoff parts, so don’t waste your money. You won’t get the performance that you’re looking for out of garbage parts, no matter the price. The next time you’re in the market for Ford racing parts never, and I mean NEVER buy the lesser brands, they will only hurt you in the long run.

The problem for most people when they go in to buy auto parts, is that they feel overwhelmed. Let’s face it - most of us just are not good at cars. There are a few people who are mechanically inclined and if you are not one, it can be difficult to carry on a conversation with somebody who knows their stuff in a big way. That is alright, though. You don’t have to be an expert to know what a good deal looks like. You don’t have to work in a shop for decades to understand when some person is trying to take advantage of you. It just takes a little bit of time and research, coupled with some common sense.
Let’s say that you are looking for some Corolla parts, but you don’t know much about what you need. You might understand that your alternator is broken, but what does that actually mean in real world terms? Your first job is to go to a site like Toyotaparts.com and learn as much as you possibly can. After doing that, you will understand what exactly is broken, how much you can expect to pay, and lots of other details. It will be very hard for someone to take advantage of you after you visit there.
