    Steering got sloppy today

    I got the car up in the air today and there is a bushing that is about halfway between the rag joint and the universal joint on the shaft that looks like the headers cooked it and it has recently came loose because it is all shiny where it used to be. The rag joint looks fine. Would this cause...

    Steering got sloppy today

    Today after making a turn at a redlight my steering became really sloppy. I can move the steering wheel about 1.5 to 2 inches in either direction before I get any resistance or the car begins to turn. Any suggestions as to what happend?

    Hurt my car tonight... Need advice

    Well I just found out some really bad news... The engine chipped a piston which bent the valves. I had a bad feeling that this may have occured since the spark plug was smashed. I guess I am going to go with a new longblock since both the top and bottom end have damage. What company(s) have the...

    Hurt my car tonight... Need advice

    I've known this guy for a couple years now and he had worked on my old car several times. I've known a lot of other people who have gone to him and have nothing but good things to say about him so I'm pretty sure I can trust him. I am going after work today to see what the damage looks like...

    Hurt my car tonight... Need advice

    They did a full compression check on the engine. After pulling the plug that cylinder had very little compression at all so it is more than likely a bent valve. My mechanic is thinking what hotmustang331 said.... Carbon buildup caused detonation. Car was plenty warmed up when this happend. I had...

    Hurt my car tonight... Need advice

    Well I just talked to my mechanic and it is definitely at least a bent valve. The spark plug was also crushed. There may be more damage...They are taking the head off tomorrow to see if there is any more damage. He said there was a ton of carbon buildup on the piston.

    Hurt my car tonight... Need advice

    The car has been dyno tuned with a safe tune so it shouldnt have detonated but if it did I'll have it retuned for sure.

    Hurt my car tonight... Need advice

    There is no check engine light. I didnt have a chance last night to see exactly which cylinder is missing. I know it is on the drivers side though. The car is bealching raw gas out the tailpipe whenever its on the dead cylinder. I had the car towed to my mechanic so hopefully he can look at it...

    Hurt my car tonight... Need advice

    My friend mentioned that I should look into the Patriot heads if it is really a bent valve. I figured I might as well upgrade while the car is apart too. I would really like to get a forged bottom end while I'm at it but I dont have the cash for all of that at the moment.

    Hurt my car tonight... Need advice

    Tonight I was giving my friend a ride in my Bullitt I just purchased a few weeks ago. I ran the car up to about in 5800-5900 rpms in first and shifted and when the car reached around 4500 and 5000 in second the car fell on its face so I let out. When I put the car back into gear it was missing...

    Predator will not recalibrate speedo. Need Help!

    I have tried that several times and it does not work. The speedo is off by about 10 mph at 65 mph. So when it says I am going 75 I am really only going 65. I havent checked it at 2700 in 4th. I will do that tomorrow on my way to work.

    Predator will not recalibrate speedo. Need Help!

    I recently bought a 2001 Mustang Bullitt with 3.73 gears installed in it. I have a Predator handheld that came with the ATI Procharger kit and it will not recalibrate the speedo even though it says it does when I modify and install the tune. I have also tried changing the tire revolutions per...

    Problem with factory pulley rubbing on ATI P1SC housing

    That also had me worried about getting the belt out of line. Hopefully the pulley is just loose and I can tighten it back up.

    Problem with factory pulley rubbing on ATI P1SC housing

    I just bought a 2001 Bullitt with an ATI P1SC on it. The factory ideler pulley that sits right below the supercharger pulley towards the passenger side is rubbing the back of the supercharger housing. It apparently has a little play in it and it moves in and out and touches the supercharger...

    Need advice on Sumitumo HTR Z 315's

    I may just have to stick with the DRs... It spins them a lot of the time in second if I floor it around 3 grand but its freezing cold outside right now too though. Any thoughts on the BFGoodrich KD's? Those were gonna be my second choice.

    Need advice on Sumitumo HTR Z 315's

    Yea I know I'm not going to get the same amount of traction out of regular tires but I can't run DRs all the time. I drive entirely too much to have them plus I don't like the fact the tread depth is so shallow. It rains a lot around here. Another question: What kind of mileage do you get...

    Need advice on Sumitumo HTR Z 315's

    I am buying a supercharged 2001 Bullitt tomorrow that has a set of 315 Nitto 555 DRs on 10.5" Bullitt replicas on the back. This is going to be a daily driver for me so I need something that will last longer than the Nittos but still have good traction. Has anyone on here used Sumitumo HTR Z's...
