    Cranks but doesn't start

    Alright, here's my situation: I've got a 1987 GT (mods listed below) that has been sitting on my mother's business parking lot for quite awhile now. The battery died a year ago, and up until this point, I've never really had a chance to get out there and jump it/start it. That being said, the...

    Are the GT40s worth it?

    My buddy and I were at the junkyard today, and we happened to pass by a 5.0L Explorer. Now, he has a 5.0L Explorer (I'm not sure which year), so we stopped for a second and he ended up pulling a few things off of it for his truck. Since the Explorer was "fresh in" to the junkyard, it still had...

    ? about pulleys

    My power steering pump is going out. It whines when I'm idling, and it REALLY whines when I hit the throttle. Bottomline, the thing's going to be replaced next weekend. But I was just wondering, has anybody replaced their stock p/s pulley with a lightweight or underdrive pulley...

    Which heads are better? And how can I tell the difference between the two?

    4:11s on the highway?

    Can anybody (who has 4:11 gears) tell me what rpm I can expect to run at on the highway (say around 60-70 mph) if I do decide to upgrade from my 3:55s? By the way, I'm running a T5 tranny.

    5-lug brakes?

    Hey all.....quick question (and I think I already know the answer). I bought my car and I'm pretty sure it's had a 5-lug swap done to it. If I'm looking for new rotors.....then I need to be looking at the SN95 rotors, right?:shrug:

    TSX gone! WRX coming!

    Well folks, I'm getting rid of the TSX. I found a WRX for a grand more at the SAME dealership. They just got it in the other day so I'm taking the TSX back and I will be driving the WRX tomorrow. Whatcha think? :nice:

    WOW! I had no IDEA Ford made these...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w8FJpf-sJ8 I'm pretty sure you can hear a kid crying in the very beginning. I don't blame him though, I would be a little nervous myself. :D

    Flywheel to rear wheel hp loss

    Okay, I'm sure this has been gone over quite a few times, but does anybody know the percentage lost through the drivetrain on an AOD vs. a manual transmission?

    Other forums just can't cut it

    It's amazing how dull every other forum is compared to Stangnet. I recently bought a 2004 Acura TSX and I'm looking to do a few simple bolt-ons for a few extra ponies (my goodness does this vehicle need it). Anyway, trying to get information on an Acura site is like watching grass grow...

    No more RX8

    Okay, so as a few of you may remember, I was highly considering the purchase of an '05 RX8 a week or two ago. Obviously, that fell through (thank goodness). I immediately decided I would purchase an '03 Focus SVT and keep it really really real. :scratch: I guess? :shrug: Anyway, these...

    RX8 as a DD?

    Okay, I'm kinda confused here. First of all, I'm looking for a daily driver here in a few months and one of the cars I'm interested in is the RX8. I love the rotary engine and the fact that it's a roadster vehicle with back seats. Plus, it's got some power though it may not be the fastest...

    Lots of new things for the Fox!

    Man! I can't WAIT to get my car back. As you may remember, I started the thread a little while back inquiring about the BBK intake manifold. After some thorough investigating, I decided to roll with the more traditional Cobra intake. But that's not where I've stopped. While my car is...

    Boss SVT????

    I was on my way to work this morning and I noticed a red Boss Mustang GT vert with a tan top. It was definitely a Boss b/c it had the decals on the side that said "Shinoda" or whatever. Anyway......two things. 1) The car had an SVT emblem on the back upper left side where the Cobra's...

    ATTENTION EVERYONE: I AM a 302

    Don't be fooled into thinking that I'm a real PERSON, b/c I'm NOT! Personally, I have NO idea why ANYBODY would actually THINK I'm a real person, b/c my Avatar CLEARLY shows that I'm a Ford small block. At this point, it should be assumed, that the picture in one's Avatar, CLEARY shows the...

    BBK intake manifold?

    Well.....my car is at my mechanic's house and he's got the intake manifold off on his way to pulling the cam out. We're going to check the cam specs and then redue my whole valvetrain. After I pop started it in first a couple weeks ago I've become nervous about one of my lifters tapping, so...

    New balljoints?

    When I turn the wheel either way, I hear a creaking sound like an old rocking chair. At first I thought it was coming from my power steering pump but it isn't. Is this a sign of bad ball joints? :shrug:

    Pop starting

    Alright.....my car is ****ed. I'm really upset, and I can't blame anybody but myself. All I want to know, is what is the worst that could've happened? Of course I have the starting issues just like everybody else when my car's water temp rises over 200 degrees. The resistance builds up to...

    WOW! Timing makes a BIG difference!

    I FINALLY checked my timing last night.......2 degrees. I couldn't believe I've been running 8-10 degrees retarded for this long. In any event, I reset it back to 10 degrees and the thing feels like a whole new monster. Throttle response is back AND my car doesn't backfire in the low rpms...

    This is my NEXT Mustang.

    This HAS to be the coolest Mustang I've ever SEEN. :rolleyes: Who in the world actually DOES something like this? :shrug: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlDLybhuOH0
