Ultimate 1979-2007 Mustang Parts - Buyers' Guide
'79-'07 Ultimate Mustang Parts
The late-model Mustang phenomenon continues, with plenty of thanks to the latest S197 model. The newest Mustang stands alone as the only remaining ponycar-at least for the moment. Since 1979, and especially since 1987 when the factory 5.0L engine reached 225 hp, the Mustang has been America's hottest performance car. From there, the aftermarket sprung into action. Hopping-up Mustangs became one of the hottest automotive trends from 1987 until the end of the Fox-body era in 2004.
Now we have the '07 Mustang, which was introduced in 2005 as a new model. It's also a bona-fide hit with hardcore Mustang enthusiasts and everyday Joes on the street. That's great news for the aftermarket parts industry, which has been working overtime for the last three years to create performance pieces-from LED taillights to superchargers-for the hottest car on the market. The current Mustang ranks right up there with the '57 Chevy, the '67-'69 Camaro, and the Fox-body Mustang as the most modified cars of all time. Even Ford dealers are getting in on the act by installing aftermarket wheels and Le Mans stripes on new '07s.
In this special Late-Model Mustang Parts Guide, we're showcasing many of the products available for '79-'07 Mustangs. Get your credit card ready and check out these great new pieces.
'86-'93 Stainless Exhaust
For a great-sounding exhaust system that lasts, Latemodel Restora-tion Supply now offers a stainless steel exhaust kit for '86-'93 5.0L LXs and '86 GTs. Each kit includes a set of polished 151/48-inch shorty headers, a 211/42-inch off-road X-shape crossover, and 211/42-inch after-cat mufflers with polished tips.
New from Currie Enterprises are heavy-duty rearends for '79-'93 Fox-body Mustangs. Available in four- and five-lug wheel-bolt patterns, they're designed to replace the original units with a stronger assembly built for high performance and dura-bility. The Fox-body rear-ends feature Currie's 9-Plus round-back housing and 31-spline axle package built to the stock overall-width and pinion-offset specifications. Heavy-duty leaf-spring pads are installed in the stock location for easy bolt-in installation. For the four-lug bolt pattern, specify PN FDM7993X4; PN FDM7993X5 for the five-lug.
25 percent Underdrive
Auto Specialties Performance's three-piece pulley set for the '79-'93 5.0L engine features a 25 percent underdrive for reduced parasitic drag and more usable horsepower. Available in red-, black-, blue-, and silver-anodized, the pulleys are perfect for Fox-body Mustangs with the air conditioning and power steering removed.
Hurst has added another Billet Plus short-throw shifter to its line for five-speed Mustangs. The newest shifter (PN 391-5033) fits '83-'01 Mustangs with Borg-Warner T5 or T45 transmissions. Engineered for positive and precise gear changes, it reduces throw by 30 percent to provide quicker shifts. It also features adjustable gear stops to prevent internal transmission damage and comes with the traditional Hurst chrome-plated stick and classic white knob.
Got You Covered
Sometimes all you want is a flashier version of the factory valve covers. In that case, Ford Racing takes care of the 5.0L engine with these die-cast chrome covers (PN M-6582-D302). They're perfect replacements for plain factory covers. Ford Racing also offers a number of finned, aluminum covers.
Steeda's full-length subframe connectors have been improved with a new one-piece reinforced crossbrace. Unlike other subframe connectors with individual gussets or no reinforcements at all, the Steeda full-length bars have the gussets built in for greater strength and less welding. The company's connectors run the full length of the floorpan for increased chassis rigidity, better handling, and improved ride. Available in bare steel or zinc-plated, the bars include torque-box reinforcing plates for a stronger attachment to the rear subframe.
TMI Products has created a new line of replacement upholstery for '87-'93 Fox-body Mustangs. Designed to replicate the original factory look while delivering today's standards of performance and wear, the TMI Fox-body upholstery is available in authentic cloth and vinyl-with some leather also offered-at most Mustang parts vendors.
With JBA's Cat4ward headers for 4.6L engines in '96-'04 Fox-body Mustangs, you can bolt on a significant increase in horsepower and torque. Engineered as a performance replacement for the restrictive factory manifolds, JBA's dyno-proven header design features 151/48-inch mandrel-bent stainless steel primary tubes, 31/48-inch CNC laser-cut flanges, and JBA's sealing-dome technology. Each kit comes with the necessary hardware, gaskets, and instructions for a professional, no-leak installation. High-temperature ceramic coating is also available.
New from Mustang Project is the first LED sequential kit for the '99-'04 Mustang that doesn't perform false sequencing during braking. The brake lights sequence only when the turn signal is activated, and all three sections of the taillight illuminate during braking. All connectors, instructions, and LED modules for both sides are provided. No wire cutting or harness change-out is required for installation; just pop the modules in place of the factory lamps. The LEDs are brighter and redder, and they will last forever.
If the stock 28-splines aren't cutting it anymore, American Muscle offers 31-spline axles to mate to 31-spline differentials for 8.8-inch rearends in '79-'93 5.0L Mustangs. The axles feature machined C-clip grooves to fit OEM applications. They're non-tapered and come with hardened bearings for durability and performance under high-stress conditions.
Performance Distributors' 5.0 computer distributor is now available for '84-'95 5.0L applications. Built with a full-length, oil-impregnated bushing, the unit assures durability compared to stock distributors, which have only one upper bushing. The new distributor also improves shaft rotation and magnetic pickup coil signals. The included Dyna Module provides more electronic dwell time, allowing the coil to saturate further for a more intense spark. Powdercoated in blue, the unit is ideal for those who want the stock look with Motorcraft distributor housings.
Performance Automatic has reissued the throttle pressure cable (Ford PN E7ZZ -7F042-A), for Fox-body Mustangs. Discontinued by Ford, the cable fits '86-'93 5.0 Mustangs and is the critical connection between the throttle body and the AOD transmission pressure-control circuits. If damaged or stretched, transmission failure can occur, often without the driver knowing.
TRZ Motorsports offers a complete suspension package for '79-'04 Mustangs. All components are TIG-welded using chrome-moly tubing, premium Teflon-lined rod ends, and high-strength delrin bushings. The lower control arms are either single or double adjustable, while the upper control arms are double adjustable and feature extra gussets. Spherical bearings can be added to reduce suspension bind while providing a more solid pinion movement. TRZ's antiroll bar welds between the framerails to prevent body roll, significantly reducing 60-foot times.
Lethal Performance's Speed of Sound pillar pods are a direct replacement for '96-'04 Mustang A-pillars. Available to hold either two or three standard 211/416-inch gauges, the pillar pods are perfect for mounting boost and fuel-pressure gauges. No cutting or painting is required. Injection molded with the factory-correct texture, the dual pods retail for $119.99; triple pods are $139.99.
Severe-Duty Axle Kit
Latemodel Restoration Supply's severe-duty rear-axle kit for '79-'93 8.8-inch axles provides everything to build a bulletproof rearend. Kits include a Dura Grip 31-spline differential; hardened 31-spline, five-lug axles; chrome-moly 3.5-inch studs; heavy-duty 3.73 gears; a master bearing kit; an axle bearing and seal kit; a carrier bearing cap stud kit; a heavy-duty differential support and cover; a pinion flange; and Royal Purple 85W140 synthetic gear lube.
With some 5.0L Mustang header applications, burning spark plug wires is a concern. WrenchRat's new SparkArm spark-plug boots and wire-relocation product permanently stops the problem by moving the wires away from the header's heat zone. The SparkArm is 4-inches long with a 11/42-inch-diameter, adjustable pivot point. It features a high-temperature, ceramic exterior, which houses conductive stainless interior components, to safely conduct sparks between the wire and plug.
Owners of '96-'04 Mustang GTs now have an aftermarket intake for 4.6L Two-Valve engines, exclusively from Texas Hot Rods. The HPS 4.6 Hardball'r aluminum intake is a direct replacement for the factory plastic version and works well on all applications. It provides an additional 15 hp on naturally aspirated engines and up to 25 hp for blown or nitrous cars. The unique two-piece construction allows for additional porting.
Ford Racing's topside clutch adjuster (PN M-7554-A) allows clutch cable adjustment without going underneath the car. The adjuster mounts in the firewall, where the forward wheel can be turned in or out to move the cable. The adjuster also eliminates the factory rubber bushing, providing more precise clutch action.
Xada Racing Products has introduced its line of CNC billet-aluminum shift knobs. Anodized, chromed, and polished, the knobs come with adapters for '79-'04 Mustangs to provide an OEM fit that integrates with the factory shifter boot. The Spinner version comes in a chrome-and-black finish with a ball-bearing-supported spinning center ring. The Lonestar sports a hidden and sealed compartment, accessed by unscrewing the chrome top. The Piston model provides the feeling of a true muscle Mustang.
American Muscle's new race-inspired GT4 wheels feature enhanced interior clearance for larger brake caliper and rotor kits that require larger aftermarket rims. Available in Hypercoated (shown), black, or chrome, the wheels measure 18x9 for '94-'04 Mustangs.
If you're looking to dress up the exterior of your Fox-body Mustang, check out the Stalker kits from Cervini's Auto Design. Available for '87-'93, '94-'98, and '99-'04 Mustangs, the Stalker body components add a muscular appearance to any Fox-body Mustang. Components are available separately, but to get the full effect, bolt on the complete Stalker kit-the 7-piece for '79-'93 or the 10-piece for '94-'04. Major components include the hood, front bumper, side skirts, rear bumpers, and rear wing.
High-Flow 4.6 Pumps
Inspired by top 4.6L engine- builder Sean Hyland, the new EMP Stewart Components water pump fills an industry void for a 4.6L high-performance pump. Perfect as a cost-effective replacement upgrade, the pump is available in long and short versions to fit the Two- and Four-Valve engines. There are two options: PN STE50046L for '96-to-mid-'01 Mustangs and PN STE50046S for mid-'01-to-'04 Mustangs. The pumps work with either stock or aftermarket underdrive pulleys and come with a stainless steel impeller, heavy-duty bearing, and carbon-graphite seal. The EMP Stewart Components' water pumps are available from companies such as Steeda Autosports, Mustangs Unlimited, and Summit Racing.
Fidanza has expanded its product offering for the Mustang GT with adjustable, lightweight, aluminum cam gears. Available for the 4.6L, the cam gears are constructed from 6061-T6 billet aluminum for increased horsepower and fine-tuned cam timing, offering 12 degrees of CNC-etched adjustments in each direction (advance and retard) for street and racing enthusiasts. They're unique because the inner gear is held to the outer by tightening stainless steel nuts to stainless steel screws, not by threading into aluminum. This allows the user to put more torque onto the fasteners, creating a solid construction able to withstand high-performance conditions.
For more than 80 years, water-methanol injection has been proven to add power to everything from the P51 Mustang fighter to diesel land-speed record holders. For naturally aspirated '79-'04 Mustangs, Snow Performance's high-pressure/ high-volume injection system allows for maximized torque and safe power by adding octane rating and intake charge air cooling in gasoline engines. The new Stage-2 Boost Cooler water/ methanol injection system uses a digital variable controller that varies the quantity injected with vacuum and rpm. The kit allows for full timing with pump gas for race-gas power all the time. Because the correct amount is injected at all rpm states, power and driveability is improved over the typical on/off systems. The kit comes with everything needed for installation, including a high-pressure/high-volume pump and specially designed nozzles to atomize the mixture.
Lowering springs are one of the most popular modifications for Fox-body Mustangs. Not only does it enhance appearance, it provides the added benefit of improved handling, especially in conjunction with performance struts and shocks. Because lowering changes the suspension geometry beyond the adjustment capabilities of the factory strut plates, a recommended modification for lowered '79-'04 Mustangs is caster/camber plates, as offered by Steeda Autosports. Available in several different configurations, the plates provide additional adjustment to allow proper front-tire alignment for increased tire wear and handling.
Wheel and Tire Kits
One of the quickest and easiest mods for adding killer looks to '79-'04 Mustangs is bolting on a new set of wheels and tires. Latemodel Restoration Supply has taken the hassle out of finding the right wheels and tires by offering kits that include the whole setup-mounted, balanced, and ready to bolt on. A number of wheel styles are available with optional add-ons such as chrome, locking lug nuts. A road-hazard warranty is also offered.
Performance Automatic now offers three new manual shift levers for Ford automatic transmissions, including two for Fox-body Mustangs. Difficult to obtain and out of production from Ford, the levers are now available for common applications, including '94-'04 Mustangs with the AODE/4R70W transmission. The lever, PN PA4594, is an exact reproduction of the factory piece. A second lever, PA5380, fits AOD-equipped '80-'93 Fox-body Mustangs and can be used to retrofit an AOD transmission into an early model. With PA2665, Performance Automatic has reproduced the shift lever for the '65-'69 Mustangs.
Stainless Steel Brakes Corporation has released a kit to convert '87-'93 Mustang front and rear brakes from four-lug to the more durable five-lug setup with the popular 5x4-1/2-inch bolt pattern. Included are all the parts needed for the rear-drum-to-disc-brake conversion, complete with new five-lug rear axles. The front rotor/hub assemblies are designed to slide onto the stock spindles without modification. The complete kit includes 11-inch front five-lug rotors, 10-1/2-inch rear five-lug rotors, rear pads, a dual-bowl master cylinder, an adjustable proportioning valve, rear caliper mounting brackets, rear five-lug axle shafts, and all the necessary hardware.
Carbon Fiber Taillights
Now owners of '94-'98 Mustangs can upgrade their rear panels with the new three-light carbon-fiber taillights from American Muscle. The high-quality taillights are direct replacements for the factory version, giving the SN-95s a more modern look. Sold in pairs, they retail for $139.99.
Lethal Performance's Hubcentric wheel spacers and extended lug-nut kit was designed for running wider tires and wheels on '99-and-later IRS-equipped Mustangs. Typically, larger wheel and tire sizes don't have enough clearance from the subframe bolt, leading to dangerous rubbing. With billet-aluminum spacers, the wheel and tire have enough clearance and a more aggressive stance. The kit, available for $75, includes a pair of wheel spacers and 10 extended lug nuts.
Get a Grip
For racy good looks with the added benefit of grip, dress up your Fox-body's pedals with billet-aluminum covers from Brothers Performance. Easy to install in 10 minutes, they brighten the floor and prevent slippage, especially when the bottom of your shoes are wet.
For increased horsepower, the '93 Mustang Cobra used a special intake manifold that became a popular upgrade for '87-'93 5.0 Mustang owners. A replica version is now available from Ford Racing. Offered in a standard finish (PN M-9424-Z51) or polished (PN M-9424-Z51P), the two-piece Cobra intake flows enough air for engines up to 350hp.
UPR's chrome-moly K-member and A-arm for '79-'04 Mustangs provide greater strength and weight savings compared to mild steel competitors. Fully TIG-welded, each unit is powdercoated in silver for a show-car look while offering maximum corrosion protection. The unique under-frame design allows maximum header and oil-pan clearance while retaining factory wheel and engine locations. A coilover kit utilizes an exclusive setscrew design to maintain settings. Premium Eibach springs are included.
In the Clutch
Fidanza clutches are available in four different levels of performance, from mild to wild, for '83-'04 Mustangs. They come with everything needed for installation, including the pressure plate, disc, throwout bearing, and pilot tool. Best of all, there's only one part number to reference per kit, making selection a quick and easy process. Performance clutches are available for the '86-'95 5.0L, '96-'98 4.6L Cobra, '99-'04 4.6L Cobra, '96-'04 4.6L GT, '01-'02 4.6L GT Bullitt, and '03-'04 4.6L Mach I. Separate kits are available for vehicles with the 26-spline TKO transmission.
Steeda reinvented the short-throw shifter when the Tri-Ax shifter was developed for the early Fox-body 5.0Ls. Now versions of it are available for all production Mustang five-speeds, as well as the upgraded Tremec 3550 and TKO. Tri-Ax benefits include a precisely calibrated spring tension that finds Third gear for you, two-position adjustable height, an exclusive BootGuard to prevent damage to the factory rubber boot, adjustable positive stops, and CNC-machined billet construction. A Tri-Ax shifter handle and hardware are included.
Now you can get rid of those dull, foggy, or yellowed headlight lenses with Latemodel Restoration Supply's reproduction six-piece headlight kit for '87-'93 Mustangs. Available with factory-style amber or clear sidemarkers, the headlights are made for a long-lasting finish, unlike the originals. At $79.95 per kit, you can't go wrong.
The Mustang rear-seat delete kits from K Dezines Audio are designed to allow removal of the rear seat while keeping a clean, custom look. Available for '79-'86 hatchbacks, '87-'93 hatchbacks and coupes, and '94-'04 coupes, the kits are designed with removable doors that allow access to the space created by removing the rear seat. The kits are constructed of either 1/2- or 1/4-inch MDF board and are covered in your color choice of carpet. Kits can be special-ordered to fit specific needs. Also available are stereo enclosures that fit the rear-seat delete kits. They fit a 10-inch subwoofer and amplifier, two 10-inch subwoofers, or two 12-inch subwoofers.
Master Power now offers a complete 9-inch Ford rearend assembly with disc brakes for '79-and-later Fox-body Mustangs. Available with standard and nodular cases, they include stock suspension brackets, a limited-slip differential, 31-spline axles, a big-bearing nodular pinion support, a yoke, and a choice of 3.50, 3.60, 3.70, 3.89, or 4.10 gears. Drilled and slotted rotors are optional.
Canton Racing Products was the originator of high-performance and conversion oil pans for '79-and-up Mustangs. Today, Canton's competition and high-capacity oil pans are used on Ford Racing and Roush Performance crate engines. Available for 302, 351W, 351C, FE, 460, and 4.6/5.4L applications, the Canton oil pans are available in aluminum and steel, and with or without power pouches and main supports. Multi-baffles are also available for road-race applications.
Clutch for the Extreme
SPEC Clutches and Flywheels has introduced the Super Twin clutch setup for street and track use in '03-'04 Cobras and Mach 1s with extreme horsepower and torque. It has set a new standard in near-stock driveability, tremendous life expectancy, a no-shimming setup, bolt-in installation, and maintenance-free operation. With all-billet construction, the units are smooth and quiet. Friction is provided by dampened, full-faced, carbon-graphite discs. Organic or full-metallic options are available.
C&L Performance's 4.6L upper intake plenum was the first available for '96-'04 GT Mustangs. It still makes gains of 8-12 hp. Designed, developed, and made in the U.S., it's best used with a 75mm throttle body. Prices start at $119 for the standard cast finish. Super-chrome or charcoal finishes are also available.
Since 1968, the Cherry Bomb glasspack muffler has been easily recognized by its bright red color and throaty performance sound. Now it's available for most car applications, including Fox-body and all other Mustangs. Insulated with high-temperature fiberglass to absorb high-frequency sounds, the Glasspack's reversible, straight-through design allows for the classic glasspack sound and reduces back pressure to maximize horsepower. Its round, linear shape creates a universal fit, making installation a breeze. The Cherry Bomb Glasspack is made of 100-percent-welded, aluminized steel and is finished in a high-temperature-resistant, red finish for long-lasting construction.
Mach 1 Intake
C&L Performance's '03-'04 Mach 1 intake assembly is the only aftermarket intake that replaces every component from the throttle body forward, including the mass airflow unit. Mach 1 owners can expect an average gain of 11 hp with a maximum improvement of 14-17 hp and 22 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. The system retains the function of the original factory Shaker-hoodscoop assembly.
It's a fact: Factory configuration small-block Ford engines are limited by cylinder head airflow efficiency. Racing Head Service (RHS) has changed all that with the introduction of the new Pro Action Windsor and 5.0L cylinder heads, available in either aluminum or cast iron. Compatible with all original equipment and aftermarket performance parts, the Pro Action cylinder heads offer several unique features, such as high-volume exhaust ports, a dual-bolt pattern, and superior port-to-chamber transitions. Available in 180cc, 200cc, and 215cc intake runner volumes, the heads use 2.020-inch and 2.080-inch diameter intake valve sizes, dependent on runner volume. Exhaust valves are 1.600 inches in diameter.
PA Performance has improved the already-popular 3G alternator. Initially available in 95-, 130-, and 200-amp ratings, the new design provides a massive 60 amps at idle (120 amps max), 80 amps at idle (170 amps max), and 100 amps at idle (200 amps max), respectively. Applications and upgrades are available for all Mustangs, including Fox-bodies and SVOs. Available finishes include chrome, polished, and powdercoated color. The PA Performance alternators are sold in easy-to-install kits and are available directly from PA Performance or through participating dealers.
The new Freedom Series small-block Ford aluminum heads from Patriot Perfor-mance are custom-engineered with 185cc intake runners to flow 260 cfm. Available from $895 per pair, the heads come assembled with 2.02-inch intake and 1.60-inch exhaust valves, 3/8-inch studs, guide plates, and hydraulic roller springs.
C&L Performance's air intake assembly for '03-'04 Cobra Mustangs is the highest-flowing intake available for supercharged cars, meaning it will support more power. At 1,137 cfm, this intake is the only aftermarket system for the Cobra that replaces every component from the throttle body forward. The system also extends the usable horse-power range from the stock mass airflow unit's 485 hp all the way up to 535 hp. Gains of more than 23 hp are typical on completely stock vehicles.
Classic Design Concepts has taken the unfinished, unattractive, inner decklid of the '05-'07 Mustang to a completed state with the new Detail Corral. Not only does it add visual appeal to the trunk, it also provides storage capabilities for first aid and cleaning supplies, CDC's mini duster, and other lightweight items. Installation is a breeze with basic handtools, and no drilling is required. OE materials provide a factory appearance and fit.
The heritage-style blackout panel from Latemodel Restoration Supply covers the rear decklid between the taillights to give your '05-'07 Mustang a great classic look. Available for $39.95, magnetic backing allows for a quick-and-easy installation; the hole for the rear emblem is precut.
In addition to possessing the same patented features as MGW's earlier short-throw shifters-such as adjustable handle and sound dampening centershaft design-the company's new shifter for '05-'07 Mustangs has a variable shift throw so drivers can fine-tune to their personal preference. The patent-pending feature allows the driver to adjust the throw from just shorter than stock to almost a 50-percent reduction. Utilizing state-of-the-art materials and design components, the shifter has been engineered to offer short throw and ease of shifting for all gears. Other features include sound- and thermal-deflection technology to maintain original OEM sound levels, and a strong lateral spring load to eliminate Third gear lockout. An installation video is included.
Quantum Motorsports has announced the addition of '05-'07 brake cooling kits to the current line of Mustang kits. As with the company's kits for '94-'04 Mustangs, they're offered in street and race versions. They're an easy bolt-on modification and feature 6061-T6 TIG-welded aluminum ducts designed to direct cooling air to the center of the rotor, a unique flexible hose with an external wire to stand up to the rigors of racing and street duty, and all the necessary mounting hardware. Quantum also offers front-bumper air inlets.
The Ford Sound
Directly from Ford Racing comes the Mustang GT exhaust kit, which includes a pair of high-flow mufflers with 3.5-inch exhaust tips. Made from T-304 stainless, they provide a proven increase in horsepower and torque along with a louder, throatier exhaust note. The polished tips are embossed with "Ford Racing."
Cervini's Auto Designs has always been quick to introduce new body-kit components for the Mustang, and the '05-'07 GT presents more of the same aesthetic opportunities. This time around, the company is going for the Eleanor look with replacement front and rear bumper covers, hood, side skirts, and sidescoops. All pieces are made from urethane except the hood.
The Carroll Shelby Wheel Company has introduced four classic-style wheels for '05-'07 Mustangs. Manufactured to meet or exceed OEM requirements, the custom alloy wheels are available in several sizes-from 18 to 20 inches-and finishes, including chrome, gloss black, Hyper Silver, and others.
If you remember the staged performance packages from Ford's old Muscle Parts program, Ford Racing's Performance Packs for '05-'07 Mustangs will seem eerily familiar. Ford Racing has brought the concept back with its new Performance Packs program. Although not as comprehensive as the old Muscle Parts packages-after all, the new Mustang provides a lot more performance to begin with-the modern kits add horsepower and handling.
The entry-level kit is the Power Pack (PN M-2005-FR1). Designed for '05-'07 Mustang GT owners who want more power while maintaining mild street manners, the package includes a 90mm cold-air kit with a flash tuner, performance mufflers, and a performance oil filter. Ford Racing estimates a 20hp improvement over stock on a five-speed, but you'll have to use premium fuel after recalibrating the computer with the supplied Pro-Cal flash tuner. The tuner comes loaded with the correct calibration for the engine mods.
The name may sound familiar to Mustangers from the '60s, but Ford Racing's new Drag Pack (PN M-2005-FR2) is more than bigger gears and an oil cooler. The modern Drag Pack comes with the 90mm cold-air kit and oil filter from the Power Pack, then adds 4.10:1 rear gears with an installation kit, shorty headers, and a short-throw shifter. Ford Racing doesn't provide horsepower estimates for the Drag Pack. Instead, with the gears and quicker shifter, expect to shave a half-second off the quarter-mile e.t. with a five-speed GT.
Handling upgrades weren't available from the old Muscle Parts catalogs. With today's emphasis on better road manners, Ford Racing's Handling Pack (PN M-2005-FR3) provides better cornering and a lowered stance. Designed to work with and complement the performance increases from the Power Pack and Drag Pack kits, the Handling Pack includes uniquely tuned dampers, lowering springs (approximately 1-1/2 inches), front and rear sway bars, and a strut-tower brace.
New from SCT is LiveWire, a preprogrammed and custom-tunable PCM flash tuner that arrives loaded with three different dyno-proven custom performance tunes and one fuel-economy tune. It also offers advanced datalogging and instrumentation of more than 15 vehicle parameters. With LiveWire, DTC trouble codes can be read and cleared, affording the largest number of features ever to be offered in a custom or preprogrammed tuning device.
BBK has released its new full-length performance headers for '05-'07 Mustang GTs. Featuring 151/48-inch mandrel-bent tubing, 3/16-inch laser-cut flanges, and OEM-quality components, the headers are built to last. A quick bolt-on with the use of BBK's matching 2-3/4-inch high-flow crossover pipes, the headers provide a 14-20-rwhp increase on stock GTs and even more with other bolt-ons.
Subframe connectors are the foundation of BMR's '05-'07 Mustang chassis upgrades, connecting the unibody-front and rear-subframe assemblies to form a full frame for increased chassis rigidity. Essential for anyone who wants to get the most out of future suspension modifications for cornering and straight-line acceleration, the BMR subframes are offered in two models: heavy-duty boxed connectors made of 1-1/2x2-inch main tubes and 3/16-inch-thick laser-cut weld plates, and tubular connectors built from 1-3/4-inch DOM tubing with 3/16-inch laser-cut mounting plates. Both tie the rear control arm mounts and front subframes together, but the heavy-duty boxed connectors go further by triangulating key structural points for an extremely rigid frame. They both weld to the attachment points but don't require the carpet to be removed.
A well-engineered suspension can shave seconds off time at the track and improve handling. One of the best ways to optimize handling is to install a complete suspension kit such as the one from Roush Performance. It includes handling springs, performance struts and shocks, and front and rear sway bars, all engineered to work together to make your '05-'07 Mustang GT one of the best-handling cars on the road. The components are also available separately.
With Street Scene Equipment's new center dual-light grille shell (PN 950-74590), '05-'07 GTs can take on the look of the '67 Shelbys. Made from durable injection-molded plastic, it moves the driving lights from the outside of the grille to the center. The shell comes with everything needed for installation: a wiring harness, two lights, and all the hardware. Factory mounting locations are used, so no cutting or fabrication is required.
Classic Design Concept's three-piece Ducktail spoiler for the '05-'07 Mustang is made from lightweight, blow-molded ABS and requires no trunk-strut adjustments. Offered with or without the Mustang logo, the spoiler is available unpainted or in all factory colors. To meet vintage design goals, CDC engineered the spoiler without the LED light. For customers who wish to have it, the company created a system that mounts inside the rear window and doesn't intrude on the design of the spoiler. It hard-mounts to the vehicle with bolts and/or acrylic bonding tape. Installation works best on cars ordered without the factory rear spoiler, but for Mustangs with the spoiler, CDC offers an optional stock-spoiler hole-delete kit, eliminating the need to repaint the trunk.
Now you can dress up your '05-'07 Mustang with affordable projector headlights and LED taillights from Dallas Mustang. The headlights are available in chrome or black; the taillights are offered in chrome, smoked, and red/clear. They're also available for '99-'04 Mustangs.
Standing tall at full race height, Steeda's Competition Wing (PN 307-0009, shown above on Steeda's Screamin' Yellow Q) gets into the air stream and creates significant down-force to enhance handling and traction. It's available with Steeda Billet Winglets, sold separately.
The patent-pending Swarr Stick shifter from Swarr Automotive is designed to fit the Tremec TKO 500-600 and T56 six-speed transmissions in '05-'07 Mustangs. Providing zero slop for more accurate and faster shifts, the Swarr Stick is great for the street and hardcore racers. Made from billet aluminum and chrome-moly, it doesn't attach to the body. The kit includes a transmission, a shifter, a crossmember, a one-piece driveshaft, a front and rear yoke, a polyurethane transmission mount, a bellhousing (for TKO), a new hydraulic bearing, and a special fitting to adapt the factory lines so the stock master cylinder can be used.
If you're looking to add to the retro look of an '05-'07 Mustang, Wheel Replicas offers the 469 Magnum. It replicates the appearance of the Magnum 500 wheels used on vintage Mustangs. Unlike the originals, the Wheel Replica version is available in modern sizes: 18x9, 18x10, 20x8-1/2, and 20x10. All the Wheel Replica wheels utilize the latest in casting and finishing technology and are available in many finishes.
Cool Valve Covers
For the first time in years, the Mustang GT comes with highly visible valve covers. Unfor-tunately, they're an ugly, dull, discolored gray. Fortunately, Ford Racing takes care of the problem with new valve covers for the Three-Valve 4.6 powerplant. Available in powdercoated chrome-look, blue, black wrinkle, and silver, the new covers are a direct replacement for the factory ones, and are available at any Ford Racing dealer.
CNC Three-Valve Heads
For improved airflow and more horsepower, Livernois Motorsports offers CNC-machined Three-Valve heads with oversize valves. Fully assembled but without camshafts, the heads flow 300 cfm on the intake and 215 cfm on the exhaust. The stainless valves are 1 mm larger than stock, and the heads come with new valve seals, retainers, locks, and Livernois' exclusive single-coil valvesprings.
Agent 47 has answered the call for aesthetically pleasing mirrors to complement the S197 Mustang's retro styling. Available with a suggested retail price of $395, the mirrors are designed for factory mounting points and electric motors, so installation is a snap.
Past Meets Present
Temple Performance Cars' Legend body package adds retro styling to the '05-'07 Mustang's cutting-edge late-model performance. Available in Legend X (supercharged), Series 1 (also supercharged), or Series 2 (naturally aspirated) models, all incorporate the Legend body package, Carroll Shelby wheels with BFG tires, performance springs, exhaust modifications, billet interior accents, and painted stripes. Each comes with its own serial number and body identification tag. The Legend body kit's individual parts are also available.
Vortech has introduced a new high-output supercharging system for the '07 GT. The addition of the V-2 SQ S-Trim supercharger increases horsepower from 300 to 462 and torque from 320 lb/ft to 419 lb/ft, estimated at the flywheel at 10-psi boost. For '07, a larger capacity cooler is included for improved performance. All components needed to bolt the system to a stock vehicle are included: mounting brackets, fuel system upgrades, DiabloSport handheld programmer, supercharger oil feed and drain, compressor bypass valve, and all required fasteners.
For more camber adjustability, Steeda offers billet camber adjusters (PN 555-8096). The CNC-machined adjusters mount directly to the struts and come supplied with a variety of hardened steel inserts for up to a full 3 degrees of camber adjustment.
Ford Racing's stripe kits add a racy look to '05-'06 Mustangs. A pair of 10-inch-wide over-the-body stripes and vintage-look lower body stripes, with or without "Ford Racing" lettering are included in the kit. The stripes are available in blue, black, or silver.
Functional Shaker Scoop
Specifically designed to fit the '05-'07 Mustang GT's Three-Valve engine, Classic Design Concept's Shaker system is fully functional with a cast-aluminum hoodscoop integrated into a custom engine cover. It's available for use with the factory GT hood or the optional CDC Shaker hood. Added details and application options enhance the appearance to spice up the underhood look. The system comes with all necessary mounting hardware, templates, and instructions.
Paxton has released a new supercharging system for the '07 Mustang GT that increases horsepower from 300 to 470 and torque from 320 lb/ft to 420 lb/ft, estimated at the flywheel at 10-psi boost. This system uses the NOVI 2200 centrifugal gear-driven compressor mated with an integrated air-to-air charge cooling. All components needed to bolt the system to a stock vehicle are included, such as mounting brackets, fuel system upgrades, a DiabloSport handheld programmer, supercharger oil feed and drain, a compressor bypass valve, and all the required fasteners.
Zoom Performance Products has taken the centrifugal pressure plate to a new level with the introduction of the Zoom Variable Torque (ZVT) clutch for Mod Motor Mustangs. Originally designed to handle the torque loads of diesel engines, the patented ZVT is a true centrifugal pressure-plate system that achieves more than 700 pounds of clamp load while maintaining a stock pedal feel. A ZVT clutch cover combined with an organic disc achieves torque-handling gains of more than 300 lb-ft over comparable high-performance covers.
Midwest Auto Gear has introduced four new items to its line of underhood dress-up parts for '05-'07 Mustangs. Shock-tower covers complete the strut towers by covering the nuts and top of the strut. Fuel-rail covers complement Midwest's already-available intake-plenum cover and hide the fuel rails, injectors, spark plugs, and coils. Radiator-cover extensions cover the fenders and give a more finished appearance. A fuse-box cover adds a splash of body color to the all-black molded fuse box. The parts are painted in basecoat/clearcoat and are available in all '05-'07 Mustang colors.
Ford's first photos of the new Mustang's Three-Valve 4.6L engine showed a nifty aluminum-look cover on top of the intake plenum. When the first cars hit the showrooms, the covers were nowhere to be found, apparently cut to save weight and money. Midwest Auto Gear was among the first to capitalize on Ford's last-minute change. Midwest's engine plenum cover adds a high-performance look to the '05-'07 Mustang GT's engine compartment. Made from fiberglass-reinforced Hylon Nylon 6, the covers won't bend or warp from engine heat. Four standard options include silver or black finishes, with or without the GT logo. For an additional cost, covers can be ordered to match exterior paint colors.
The latest Mustang can benefit from cutting-edge N2O technology with the all-new '05-'07 Mustang EFI wet system from Nitrous Pro-Flow. The adjustable 25-150hp system is engineered as a bolt-on, so installation can be accomplished in an afternoon with basic handtools. It includes everything needed for turnkey performance, including braided lines, solenoids, a programmable TPS activation system, a V-Force 2 injection nozzle, brackets, and a lightweight tank. The injection nozzle was designed for injected applications to maximize atomization and N2O distribution for power and reliability. The activation system uses the Mustang's throttle-position sensor to activate the nitrous shot at wide-open throttle only, protecting engine internals and increasing consistency.
Taking the traditional lightbar to new and improved heights, Mustang Racing Technolo-gies' (MRT) new two-tone lightbar is the missing style link for all '99-'07 convertible Mustangs. Adding a full range of secondary color options allows buyers to personalize their droptop in a way never before possible. Constructed with 1-1/4-inch, steel, round tube with heavy-duty, 1/8-inch wall thickness, the MRT two-tone lightbar is built to last. The company incorporates only the finest materials into its colored wraps.
New from Mustang Depot is the '05-'07 Mustang fiberglass hood with a Cobra roadster-style hoodscoop. It's fully functional for ram-air. Mustang Depot also offers 12 other hood styles for S197s.
The newest functional hood from Suncoast Automotive is designed for the '05-'07 Mustang. A true ram-air hood, the forward-placed scoops channel air through a sealed path to the intake system for a cooler, denser charge to increase horsepower. Built in the U.S. from a composite of steel, fiberglass, and structural polymers, the Suncoast hoods are designed for simple bolt-in installation.
Mustang Racing Technologies' (MRT) H-pipe for the '05-to-current Mustang GT is made in America with high-quality 304 stainless steel and the highest-quality, best-performing catalytic converters in the industry. Easy to install with all hardware and instructions included, the MRT H-pipe will add 10 to 20 hp and a deep, throaty musclecar exhaust note.


Why February Babies are so Special
I’m July-born, so this article has been written with no bias whatsoever.
February is regarded all over the world as the month of love, and there’s this characteristic sweetness to February-born people. It’s a short month filled with several holidays, and the most popular is Valentine’s Day, my second-favorite holiday after Christmas and a special day to commemorate love.
February babies are either born with the Aquarius or Pisces zodiac signs. Aquarians are strong people linked with traits of originality, creativity, progressive thinking, and humanitarian instincts. Pisces people are often very sweet, kind, compassionate, sensitive and deeply caring.
February-born kids are creative and artistic
They can use their imaginations widely and come up with stunning original ideas more than people born in other months. It’s not uncommon to find February-born kids creating, building, and innovating at an early age with any materials around them. They love working with their hands and exploring the depths of their minds.
A 2017 review on Time magazine confirmed that this creativity is the reason why some of the most talented individuals in the world are February-born.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Jr., Steve Jobs, George Washington, Rosa Parks, Bob Marley, Shakira, Chris Rock, Nina Simone, Thomas Edison, Charles Darwin, Rihanna, Jennifer Aniston, and the list goes on with world-famous actually-talented personalities.
About 4 million people in the world are lucky enough (or not so much) to be born on February 29, the extra day that makes a leap year. February 29 was added to the Gregorian calendar to make up for decimal approximations. It’s also intended to balance out the ripple vibrations of the earth that cannot be accounted for in the calendar.
February 29 occurs once in 4 years, and there’s a 1 in 1500 chance that a baby would be born that day. February-29-born kids are some of the most unique personalities in the world, born on such a special day with many cosmic and spiritual significances.
This year, 2020 is a leap year, and all leaplings will finally get to celebrate their birthday on the exact day, for the first time in four years.
Excellent at athletics
According to a 2005 study conducted by researchers at Harvard, the season of birth is associated with “anthropometric and neurocognitive outcomes during infancy and childhood.”  In essence, the study suggested that the season of birth of a child could affect the physical dimensions of their body and could also be linked to neurological abilities or disorders.
The study found that winter-born kids (including February-born kids) usually turn out to be taller, bigger and stronger than other babies by the time they hit age seven. They are also found to be longer at birth. They often weigh more and grow to be more sturdily built that those born in spring, summer, and fall. This is why they fare better at sports because physical attributes largely contribute to a successful sporting career (on any scale). So, you might want to consider encouraging that Feb kid to sign up for NBA school club, gymnastics or anything remotely sporty.
The study also reported that “that winter/spring babies are both ‘bigger’ on the anthropometric variables and ‘smarter’ on the selected neurocognitive variables.” This means they are often more intelligent and score higher on aptitude tests. While a lot of parents are taking to redshirting their kids to give them a higher advantage when they eventually go to school, that Feb kid might already be far above her mates.
February kids are truly special… as are kids born on every other month and day of the year. While the studies and sources referenced in this article were interesting to explore, every child born in every month is equally special.
To be a parent (through any means) is to know the purest kind of love in a physical form, and it doesn’t matter when, where or how your kids were born.

DOUGLAS Communications operating in the North West and North East of England, has cut down on its service, maintenance and repair costs, as well as reducing losses associated with vehicle downtime.
The company has saved over £1,000 per month by working with Northgate and building up its rental fleet to 46 vehicles, after adding 16 very recently.
With the ageing fleet it owned, Douglas Communications’ service costs had significantly risen in recent years.
The new deal has brought a 100% reduction in downtime for the telecommunications company, resulting in an estimated total saving of around £15,000 annually.
Brian Fairhurst, Logistics Manager at Douglas Communications Ltd, said: “Historically at Douglas Communications, we have used a number of local garages to carry out our SMR work.
“However, with a sizeable aging fleet, maintenance and repair requirements have been more frequent and expensive, with downtime alone equating to around £500 per day.”
Mark Douglas, Managing Director at Douglas Communications went on: “The combination we have of flexible vehicle hire and owned fleet maintained by Northgate is exactly the mix that works for our business – Northgate is the perfect fit for our requirements.”
Jane Forshaw, Business Development Manager at Northgate Vehicle Hire, concluded: “With our newly piloted out of hours servicing, the telecommunications company has seen an astonishing drop in its vehicle downtime.
“Benefits like this come standard as part of the flexible vehicle hire offering and help businesses stay on the road for longer.”

A person who is suffering from kidney failure will have to undergo treatments and other medications to give cure. Among the most effective treatment used for kidney failure is dialysis. What is this treatment and how does it work? Are there side effects? What are the risks? These are just some of the questions that you have to know.
Dialysis is essential especially since a person cannot last a day if her kidneys are not working properly. The kidneys play crucial role in terms of excreting wastes and balancing fluids in the body. What happens if your kidney fails to do its work? Wastes in the blood tend to accumulate if the body does not have functional kidneys. This can be a really dangerous situation especially since it can result to coma or even death.
Benefits of Dialysis
Dialysis is intended to work as kidneys while your kidney is damaged at the moment. One can get various benefits when you use this treatment. For one, it works as kidneys. Although it does not replace the functions of kidneys, it aids in filtering wastes and blood in the body. For the meantime that you are undergoing medication and treatment, dialysis does the work. However, it is important to note that dialysis is not used to cure kidney disease.
Different Types of Dialysis
Thanks to technology, there are now different types of dialysis. Depending on your preference and the recommendation of your doctor, you can simply choose which dialysis treatment is the best option.
Hemiodialysis: This particular treatment is where a machine is used. What it does is that it aids in filtering the blood. With the help of special filters, blood is excreted out of the machine through a tube. In turn, the filtered or cleansed blood is then injected to the body. It goes back and forth using another catheter. This treatment would last about 3 to 4 hours per week. The time length varies depending on the condition of the patient. You can have this treatment at home.
Peritoneal Dialysis: Another type of treatment is the Peritoneal dialysis. This treatment makes use of a tube that is inserted into the abdominal cavity. What it does is that it makes use of the natural capacity of the peritoneum to filter wastes. With this type of treatment, you can choose as to whether you will go for the the Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) or the the Continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis (CCPD). The first treatment is it does not make use of any machine. There is a dialysate that is used and injected into the abdomen for about 8 hours. This procedure is done every 4 to 5 times a day. Another treatment is the Continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis. With this treatment, there is a machine used. The difference is that the fluid exchange is done through a machine and it can be conducted every night. The Continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis would take about 10 to 12 hours.
What Are the Side Effects?
Taking dialysis may also have side effects and it helps to know these side effects and what you can do if ever you experience any of them.
Muscle Cramping: This is one side effect of dialysis. You will experience cramps in your muscles. A lot of people who are undergoing dialysis are experiencing severe discomfort. There is no known cause as to why a person experiences having muscle cramps. The best way to get rid of this side effect is to stretch the muscles to get rid of the pain. You may also have to undergo certain medications as recommended by your healthcare provider.
Dry Skin: A person undergoing dialysis may also experience having dry or itchy skin. This is the common side effect of patients who are undergoing this treatment especially during winter season. The reason as to why patients experience having this kind of side effect is that it is high in phosphorus. To get rid of this problem, you can use soaps and other skincare products that would not dry out the skin.
Nausea and Vomiting: These are usually associated with people who are suffering from kidney diseases. In fact, they are known to be signs and symptoms. If you are experience these side effects, you should tell the nurse right away so necessary adjustments are done.
Low blood pressure: Having low blood pressure is one of the most common side effects of patients undergoing dialysis. There are two main causes as to why a person will experience having low blood pressure. For one, if you have a weak heart and you are undergoing dialysis, you might experience this problem. Another cause is when you have excess fluid weight. To address the problem, make sure that you avoid eating foods that contain too much salt.
Fatigue: Considering the fact that it takes hours to undergo with this treatment, you will surely feel tired and exhausted. This is basically one of the reasons why a lot of people would often feel fatigue and this is one common side effect. When you have lost kidney functions, your body will experience having fatigue. Since you will be undergoing this treatment, there are restrictions when it comes to the food that you eat.

China blasts Gladys Liu ‘witch hunt’
CHINA'S state media has praised Scott Morrison's defence of Liberal MP Gladys Liu while accusing Australian media of a "21st century witch hunt".
It also issued a thinly-veiled warning to the Prime Minister not to be America's pawn on China relations but to keep "Australia's national interests in mind while savouring foie gras at the White House" for his state dinner with US President Donald Trump on Friday.
The Global Times opinion piece - which calls Ms Liu's interview with Sky News host Andrew Bolt last week a "television lynching" - comes amid new revelations in The Herald Sun today that the rookie Liberal MP promised on Chinese social media that she would write references for foreign students who volunteered on her campaign at this year's federal election.
"The target of this ferocious attack was not Gladys Liu herself, but China," Australian Studies Center professor Chen Hong writes in his editorial.
"By insinuating Liu was a Chinese agent who had infiltrated Australia's federal political arena, Cold War combatants have sounded the alarm once again on China as an evil menace to Australia's political sovereignty and national independence."
The "fear and smear campaign" against China was a "21st century witch hunt" with the "unmistakeable aftertaste of McCarthyism," he writes.
"They ceaselessly split hairs in search of the slightest traces and nuances of the imaginary 'Red Peril'.
"Linkage with any organisation or individual with Chinese connections is misinterpreted as a threat to Australia's interest and has created a Sinophobia among the public and inside political circles."
The Global Times article praised Prime Minister Morrison's "clear reason and judgment" in defending Ms Liu over links to groups with ties to the Chinese government.
"Recognisably, Morrison's justification of Liu is not without partisan motive, but for the 1.2 million Chinese Australians who have been subject to unjust suspicion and bigotry, such remarks are significant," it said.
"In contrast to his predecessor Malcolm Turnbull's reckless spoiling of the Australia-China relations, clear reason and judgment have prevailed for Morrison."
The article questions whether Canberra will "fall for" the US's "heinous trap" and serve as Washington's "legionnaire" in the Asia Pacific, while saying Mr Morrison should keep "Australia's national interests in mind" when he heads to the White House.
It comes as a High Court challenge over Treasurer Josh Frydenberg and Ms Liu's eligibility to sit in parliament has its first directions hearing today.

Now that there's 13 teams in Region 3-A, getting into the playoffs may just be a little bit harder.
TWIN CITY - Emanuel County Institute left no doubt as to who was the No. 1 team in Class A in the state of Georgia in 2007. Now they're ready to make sure no one's asking questions in 2008.
The last two seasons in Metter have been all about building a foundation from the bottom up. In 2006, coach Clay Hill inherited a Tiger squad without much experience, and he has focused on developing the middle school kids and keeping the numbers up. Metter has consistently fielded over 50 kids in each of the last two seasons, and with a strong foundation both offensively and defensively, the coaching staff feels the team is ready to compete again.
When Chuck Conley arrived in Millen in 2005, the Jenkins County football team was struggling.
CLAXTON - The youth movement in Claxton is over.
The Screven County Gamecocks are getting used to being back in the playoffs.
PORTAL - It's no surprise that the Portal Panthers will be offering a new look in 2008.
For years, Statesboro has been synonymous with running the football.
Once again, Statesboro has a serious chance to contend for a state championship.
My friends, it's been a long and wearisome journey this summer.
Whether in the weight room, on the football field or in the classroom, Bulloch Academy senior David Poole goes above and beyond.
PORTAL - Coming off a 1-9 season, the Portal Panthers had a reality check - it's time to turn things around.
Bulloch Academy amassed 3,468 total yards and scored 314 points last football season en route to an 8-3 record.
BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. - The Georgia Southern women's soccer team opened the season with a 2-0 victory over Gardner-Webb Saturday.
SPARTA - Bulloch Academy scored on its first two possessions and stood firm on defense as the Gators beat Piedmont Academy 16-8 in the annual John Hancock Kickoff Classic Thursday.
ATLANTA - Seven months after a racially charged email put the Atlanta Hawks on the market, there's an agreement to sell the NBA team for $850 million.
ATLANTA - Paul Millsap scored 19 points and the top-seeded Atlanta Hawks again survived a tougher-than-expected test from the Brooklyn Nets, holding on for a 96-91 victory and a 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference playoff series Wednesday night.
Grab a cup of coffee and spend some time re-living the Georgia Southern Eagles sweeping the Sun Belt Conference through the eyes of Herald Staff Photographer Scott Bryant.


The Arizona Free Enterprise Club (AFEC) shared its full support for prop 132, which is set to appear on the November ballot and would require a 60 percent majority vote of the people on any ballot measure that seeks to raise taxes.
“Today’s tax increase may not affect you, but tomorrow’s most certainly will. Allowing 51% of the population (who probably don’t have to pay the tax increase) to vote to tax the other 49% that do have to pay it, is wrong. And eventually, you will be in the minority,” said AFEC President Scot Mussi.
The Arizona Free Enterprise Club (AFEC) analyzed the success of the Red4ED movement in Arizona since it launched a little over four years ago, and concluded that after spending over $30 million, the movement not only failed to accomplish anything, but failed to stop historic tax cuts. Red4Ed’s two initiatives and referendum were struck down by courts as “legally flawed,” resulting in AFEC labeling its efforts “the largest, most expensive failure in Arizona political history.”
Arizona Educators United launched Red4Ed in 2018 ostensibly to increase teachers’ salaries and funding for K-12 education. People and teachers showed up all over, at the state capitol and at events and protests, wearing red shirts and carrying red signs. But AFEC said “the movement was quickly hijacked by the teachers’ unions and other out-of-state special interest groups.” It soon turned into “a singular quest to double the state income tax through a ballot initiative.”
Last year, Arizona enacted historic tax cuts, changing the state’s tax code law to mostly a 2.5% flat tax rate. But opponents collected enough signatures to put an initiative on the ballot this fall, Prop. 307, that would reverse the legislation. In response, Republican state legislators are working with Gov. Doug Ducey to pass legislation that would make the initiative null and void — and maybe implement even more striking tax cuts.
State Rep. Jake Hoffman (R-Queen Creek), who sponsored legislation last year that would have repealed and replaced the historic tax cuts with an even more far reaching 1.5% tax rate, told The Arizona Sun Times, “I told the Governor’s office that the 2.5% tax rate he’s pushing for can only be the starting point. With yet another year of record budget surpluses of nearly $4 billion, the people of Arizona are being overtaxed. We must cut taxes even more during the budget process.”
Arizona’s high court didn’t strike down a voter-approved tax increase on the wealthy, but it’s not going to let the influx of new revenue break a constitutional cap on education spending, either.
The Arizona Supreme Court remanded Fann vs. Invest in Education back to a trial court Thursday morning, saying it’s too early to say whether the ballot initiative is entirely unconstitutional.
The Arizona Free Enterprise Club filed a lawsuit recently against Invest in Arizona over the organization’s attempt to get three referendums on the Arizona ballot that would reverse Arizona’s recently passed tax cuts. The lawsuit contends that since the tax cuts “provide for, and directly relate to, the generation of revenues that are remitted to the general fund and appropriated to various agencies, departments and instrumentalities of the state government,” they cannot be the subject of a referendum and are unconstitutional.
AFEC President Scot Mussi, who is one of the plaintiffs, said, “All three bills directly provide for the support and maintenance of the state, were key aspects of the state’s budget, and therefore are not referable by Invest in Arizona.”

After hot sun dominated the practice sessions of the first four Tour-type Modified races of the 2020 World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing at New Smyrna Speedway, Friday’s practice for the Richie Evans Memorial 100 saw a change with clouds, cool temperatures, and a chilly breeze bringing in a change for the teams. In the final practice session, the names near the top of the chart had changed as well.
The one at the top of the charts was that of Dave Sapienza, who is running the entire World Series Modified schedule for the first time in his career this week. The Riverhead, NY native felt good about how both the day and the week have been so far.
“I feel pretty good, there’s going to be a tire change over the long run, and I think I got a good car for the long distance. I do like the longer distance races, I get more focused. But, I just want another good finish with no damage. I’ve learned a lot this week, I had been out of the car for almost the past year with my back injury. But, I’m mostly here to test so I can get back on the Tour with two feet,” Sapienza told Speed51.
While knowing his priorities, the driver of No. 36 is certainly not going pass up a shot at a Richie Evans Memorial win.
“Coming out of here with a win would be the ultimate, bottom line, there’s no better than winning the Richie Evans Memorial. We got a stout field, guys with some power, we’re a little underpowered, I can feel it, but I’m looking forward to a good clean run. Hopefully I can time trial well, stay up front, and hopefully my car comes in late and we can get a win.”
Opposite of Sapienza, Tommy Catalano’s week has been anything but smooth, as he lost the engine in not one, but two of his family’s racecars. In the eleventh hour of Thursday night, the Catalano clan began the hunt for a car for Catalano to drive, with an unlikely ride being offered by the PSR No. 17 team who had run with Jeremy Gerstner during the week, and had originally planned to go home after Thursday night’s racing.
“It was a late-night deal, obviously we were running around last night looking for an engine to buy or borrow for today. We weren’t able to come up with a built motor to get us by for today. The guys at PSR were kind of enough to offer us a chance to use the car, they were done for the week, and offered us the car, it came together, and hopefully we can put on a strong showing tonight.” Catalano explained.
Catalano timed in eighth in the final practice, and was encouraged that the unlikely pairing of driver and team could surprise a few people Friday night.
“It was spur of the moment, they were here, we asked if we could buy the motor off of them or rent it last night. That wasn’t something that they wanted to do, overnight they thought about it and offered to let us use the car today. That looked to be the only way we were going to have a car in field tonight. We had a plan last night and obviously things didn’t come together to pull it off. Just appreciative of what we have here today and we’ll give it a strong run.”
Fans can follow Speed51’s Trackside Now coverage, presented by FK Rod Ends, for live updates during the Richie Evans Memorial and the rest of Friday night’s racing at New Smyrna Speedway.

Breach of Human Rights by HMRC Collector ?
A client who ownes a restaurant has just been visitied by an HMRC distraint officer collecting outstanding VAT which was due and payable. When the officer was on the premises I was telephoned in my office by the client asking for help. I spoke to the collector and asked for a copy of the walking possession order before my client signed it. I was told that under no circumstances would my client be allowed to fax the document to me without it being signed first and if he did not sign it then a van would be immediatly dispatched to collect the tables, chairs and coffee machines that the officer had listed, my client had no choice he had to sign the walking possession order. I was outraged at being unable to view the document that my client was being asked to sign.
Is this practical inability to access professional advise a breach of my clients Human Rights?
Does anybody know if tables, chairs and a coffee machine could be deemed tools of the trade?
Any thoughts most welcome as I am preparing a complaint to HMRC in a fairly short time frame.

More than 400,000 Americans die annually in part because of avoidable medical errors, according to a 2013 estimate published in the Journal of Patient Safety. In 2008, the most recent year studied, medical errors cost the country $19.5 billion, most of which was spent on extra care and medication, according to another report. If a problem such as Thompson’s stemmed from negligence, a malpractice lawsuit may be an option. But lawyers who collect only when there’s a settlement or a victory may not take on a case unless it’s exceptionally clear that the doctor or hospital was at fault. That creates a Catch-22, said John Goldberg, a professor at Harvard Law School and an expert in tort law. “We’ll never know if something has happened because of malpractice,” he said, “because it’s not financially viable to bring a lawsuit.” That leaves the patient responsible for extra costs.

Confidence crushed after 0-3 start to the season, coach Sutton says
“It was difficult from a mental standpoint,” said Greg Sutton, head coach of the Concordia Stingers men’s soccer team, about the 2017 season. “I don’t think we were mentally strong enough after the start of the season to be able to get past [a 0-3 start].”
The Concordia Stingers finished the 2017 season in sixth place out of seven teams in the Réseau du sport étudiant du Quebec (RSEQ), with a 3-8-1 record. Two of the team’s three wins were against the league’s lowest-ranked team, the Sherbrooke Vert et Or.
According to coach Sutton, a mix of inexperience and injuries led to the disappointing season. Sutton said he and the rest of the coaching staff initially believed the season would end with the Stingers making a run for the playoffs.
The Stingers began the season with a series of games against the Université de Québec à Montréal Citadins, Laval Rouge et Or and the Université de Montréal Carabins. Those teams finished in the top three places in the RSEQ. The Stingers lost all three of those opening games, scoring three goals and allowing nine.
While the team missed the playoffs for a fourth-straight season, Sutton said he believes their record this year didn’t reflect their quality of play.
“We lost a lot of confidence starting the season 0-3,” Sutton said. “That can play with the boys’ minds. After that third game, we had to dig deep. We put together a few wins. We had some good performances, and we had some immature performances.”
Injuries to key players, such as defenders Corentin Aussems (fractured ankle) and Mateo Zazo (anterior cruciate ligament injury), early in the season forced the team to rely on younger, more inexperienced players.
“When [we lost] Aussems and Zazo […] we knew we were going to have a challenge defensively and offensively,” the coach said. “A lot of the [play] starts from the defenders and their ability to move the ball. Those guys have an [offensive] quality that not many of our other defenders have. These were injuries to not only good-quality players, but also quality leaders.”
Sutton said rookie striker Simon Malaborsa, who finished as runner-up for RSEQ rookie of the year, as well as midfielder Henry Barutciski and defender Philippe Audy, all played well throughout the season. Malaborsa scored six times this season, accounting for nearly half of the team’s 13 total goals.
“We had some players that we were really high on, and had expectations for them to be significant parts of our team, and for some reason just couldn’t handle the pressure or just couldn’t handle the strain of being a student-athlete,” Sutton said. “I can’t really say who because there were too many, unfortunately. As much as this game is physical, it’s also mental.”
Moving forward next season, Sutton said he believes the team’s success will come from staying healthy and getting the most out of key players. He’s optimistic that, with the growth and development of younger players, the team can bounce back next season. He added that the team’s goalkeepers, Karl Gouabé and Cameron Rae, are the two best keepers in the country when healthy.
“A lot of things you just can’t control,” Sutton said. “It just really seemed like luck wasn’t on our side this year.”

"Like Henry James, O'Hara could create a world where class and social structures are all-important but not openly discussed." --The Village Voice
"O'Hara understood better than any other American writer how class can both reveal and shape character.... [His] genius was in his unerring precision in capturing the speech and the milieus of his characters, whether the setting was Pennsylvania, Hollywood, or New York." --Fran Lebowitz
"O'Hara occupies a unique position in our contemporary literature... He is the only American writer to whom America presents itself as a social scene in the way it once presented itself to Henry James, or France to Proust." --Lionel Trilling, The New York Times
"An author I love is John O'Hara. . . . I think he's been forgotten by time, but for dialogue lovers, he's a goldmine of inspiration." --Douglas Coupland, Shelf Awareness
"One of the great novels of New York in the Depression . . . [O'Hara's] novels of the mid-thirties are his classics, and they deserve to be much more famous than they are." --Lorin Stein, editor of The Paris Review, from the Introduction

Cat dermatology is the study of skin disease in cats. There are actually volumes of books on skin diseases in cats, and that's what veterinarians do.
As you well know, your cat really takes meticulous care of their skin and fur, so if your cat is itchy or scratching or chewing at his skin or you see lesions on the skin, then you know you have a skin problem in your cat, and it's usually caused because it's itchy.
The signs in your cat are that he scratches or bites at his skin or licks excessively. We call it barbering when they chew on their hair, but symptoms are something that just occurs in people, not in cats. They won't talk to us.
You might think you know what's wrong with your cat's skin, but it's really easy to get it wrong. We really encourage our feline clients to give us a call and set up minimally a telemedicine visit, but get their cat looked at by me.
As soon as you notice it. Minor problems usually go away within a week, so if your cat's still bothering his skin after a week, you should call us.
He's going to look, but he's been trained to look proficiently, so he's going to look all throughout your cat's skin between their toes, down in their ears, and on their belly. You just need to get a veterinarian to take a look.
Sometimes antibiotics and anti-inflammatories, and sometimes other kinds of medications. Topicals and mooses, in particular, are pretty commonly used in cats. Your veterinarian will make it easy for you, so you just need to see the veterinarian.
Usually, they are. Cats have an unusual blood cell you might have heard about in advertisements on television called the eosinophil, and because of that, some of their problems are chronic. However, they can usually be handled by using supplements, diets, and topical medications.
The most common skin condition is flea bite dermatitis, but eosinophilic granuloma complex is also very common. There are a number of skin diseases that we see in practice on a regular basis, and we definitely have the tools to take care of those.
The cause is usually diet, environment, or an inborn problem with their eosinophils.
That's a good question. You just need to get a veterinarian to take a look because it could be a number of different things, as I've already talked about.
Absolutely. Allergies can cause skin problems in your cat, both food allergies and allergies to environmental allergens, but your veterinarian is the one who's set up to help you solve that.
I'm glad you asked me that one because that's one I forgot to address. Cats are really sensitive to their environment, and because of that anxiety, they may engage in barbering and chewing the hair off their skin when they get upset about things. It could be such a small like you're having the bathroom remodeled to the problem that you just got a new puppy. That can make them have skin problems.
If you're putting some kind of product on your cat's skin, and your cat gets itchy after you use it, you need to discontinue that and probably give your cat a bath, but that's a whole other subject.
The best thing is to brush your cat on a regular basis, as that helps you look at the skin. Most cats, if you do it on a regular basis, love to be brushed.
If you still have other questions and you'd like to reach out to us, you can call us directly at (913) 912-2319, or you can email us at [email protected]. But please do reach out, and we'll get back to you as fast as we can. Don't forget to follow us on social media https://www.facebook.com/NeighborhoodVets, https://www.instagram.com/neighborhoodvets

Ferdinando Artaria, Gioachimo Bettalli, Fratelli Ubicini & Hugues. From, "Storia Naturale Delle Scimie. Milan 1812  "being a natural history of Apes" engraved L. Rados after N. H. Jacob. Interesting and amusing anthropomorphic depiction with descriptive Italian text below image. The print is in good condition, and set into a gilt-wood frame.
This iconic work shows monkies from both the old and new world. The French painter Nicholas Henri Jacob (1782-1871) was responsible for the originals, from which Luigi Rados made stipple engravings. The work was modeled after Buffon, whose name appears on the title page, along with other great luminaries and scientists of the day. Nicolas Henri Jacob was a student of painter Jacques Louis David and the first professor of drawing at the National Veterinary School of Alfort (1818-1830).
The text begins “The Pinco is a beautiful animal whose voice resembles puittosto the singing of a small Ucello”
This edition is only in Italian language (the first of 1812 had the text in French and in German, but with 73 illus.). Cfr. Nissen, ZBI, 2080 - Brunet, III, 478.
