    Coolant in #4 Plug Hole

    I had one of the heater hoses blow @ 50k miles (one closest to passenger side) and left 2 gallons of coolant in my engine bay, the rear of my car (bumper/trunk lid), and the engine bay. I would def check em before they blow out and make a real mess. Save yourself the trouble and order those 2...

    Question about tuneup and gas mileage

    im still trying to figure out why i get 10mpg on avg. I used to get about 250 miles out of a tank with my 3.27's and now I get about 150 w/ 4.10's. Seems really bad. I've been driving it like this for 30k miles now because I have not had a chance in 3 years to bring it somewhere to have tune...

    Do you torque your spark plugs ??

    The new plug is only for people with the new heads with the longer threads correct? I have 53k on my 01 GT and was going to change the plugs soon. Now I'm afraid to even take the plugs out for fear of them blowing out down the road :P

    Steering wheel shakes??

    dust shield isnt rubbing. I checked clearances about 5 times because I had to use bolts to hold the dust shield onto the new spindle since I didn't have the 1/4" rivets. I'm going to pull the pad off later and see if it looks like it's getting stuck in the caliper. A friend told me he had to...

    Help, Car completely dead

    the churning in the cd player is normal. The first time I heard it I freaked. It does that when the battery is reconnected after power is cut. It will cycle through all the discs in the changer for about 1 minute before stopping after the cd player is turned on for the first time. It sounds...

    Nitto vs BFG vs Mickey ET Streets Drag Radials????!!!????

    I was about to order ET streets for my 01 gt, but now I think I might go with the BFG's. Everyone I know around here hates the Nitto's and uses the et streets, but I drive the car on the street probably about 500 miles a month and would burn through the et streets real quick from what I hear...

    Dome light wont turn off

    I noticed it only seems to do it if I have the dome light on when I shut the car off. Like if I stop and park and turn the dome light on with the car idling, then open my door, turn the car off, turn the dome light off, and get out. it will stay on. Almost seems like a relay isn't tripping or...

    Dome light wont turn off

    I get this in my GT sometimes. Here's the trick that works for me when it is stubborn. Put your key in the ignition and turn the car on but dont start it. Turn the dome light on and off at the switch and turn the car off. Get out, close door. Dome light should shut off. Usually works for me when...

    After putting in smoked headlights + silverstars

    The clear fogs are a bit brighter and they look much better. I have them on my car but they will be coming off when I replace the front bumper with the cobra bumper sitting in my garage waiting for paint.

    Widest tire up front?

    I have 255's up front on 17x9's and a steeda front swaybar. It rubs the swaybar on a full lock or the fender on a hard turn when i hit a bump where the suspension will compress hard. I think I might adjust the spacers on the MM plates so that the car bottoms earlier because there is too much...

    Rear brake caliper tool

    What happens if you don't have the master cylinder open? I just cranked the piston back in while it was still on the car when I put my new rear in the car. I had to use the cube and take a dremel to it to shave it down because none of the ends would fit the caliper right. I also just turned them...

    Front Brake Dust Shields

    I had to change my spindle. Anyone know where to get those rivets that hold in the dust shield? I went to like 3 dealers and they all had no idea what I was talking about. Is it safe to nut and bolt the dust shields or do I need to use rivets? I was told to use rivets so they shear in the event...

    My car hit a curb about a year and I've been having some vibration issues ever since not to mention I couldn't get the camber set perfect on one side so it was suggested I replace the spindle / wheel bearings as I may have bent the spindle a little bit. I went ahead and bought a new spindle...
