    Rear end question

    I'm having my rear end gone though and redone along with the Trac-loc. Since the clutch packs have to sit in the friction modifier before they install them. Once it's all said and done for me to come pick it up from the shop, I'll need to add fluid to it once I get it installed back in the car...

    FRPP UCA

    I grabbed a set of FRPP Upper Control arms item # M-5500-A from him. As long as I've know him he said he's had them just never put them on cause he didn't feel the need too. Well when I picked them up last night from them there was a blue and white strips of paint across them and he said they...

    car out of storage-slower?

    Did you put any kind of fuel stabilizer in when you stored it? When I let my car sit over the winter I did have about 1/2 a tank of gas with Sta-bil in the tank. I would go out about every 3 weeks start it and let it run for about 20-30 min and warm up all the way. I changed the fuel filter...

    clutch slip noise ???

    I'd have a squeak/squeal when I'd ship at higher RPM's in my 97. I just went and picked up a new belt, dayco polycog, and it doesn't do it anymore now. More then likely your belt just getting old.

    Flushed my coolant - Now have problem

    Does the light come on and stay on?? When I got my 97GT I didn't have a problem. Once I got the coolant exchanged out it, in the cooler mornings the light will come on for about 1 min then go out the entire day unless it's really cold and it's cooled completely off. I just ignore it caues I...

    Spilled Vinegar in My Backseat *sigh*

    what about some arm n hamer, how ever it's spelled baking soda to sit in there over night or something a few nights? Don't know if it'd work but worth a shot.

    Time to replace parts and have Questions

    I'd agree there but this is stuff that needs to be done. It has just shy of 83k on the clock now. and everything is pretty much factory on the car. I've owned it since 72k. I've rode in a 94 GT with pretty much what I listed above and it felt 100x better then my car handling and driving wise...

    Time to replace parts and have Questions

    can someone atleast tell me if http://www.ninosport.com/index.asp is a reputable company or not? Is there a cheaper place to get the Bassani catback and mid pipe. Is $200 more worth the lifetime warranty, SS exhaust, and the baffles that come with it for the catback? Is the parts shopper...

    Time to replace parts and have Questions

    I'm going to have up to $2,000 to spend on my car if I choose to go that much which I'd like to keep as low as possible. So far I've come up with this list of stuff and would like some imput. Just going to round the numbers off. Bullitt Suspension - $400 MM LCA - $260 MM CC...

    Adjusting clutch?

    look down at the pedal assembly and see if you still have the plastic quadrant on there. If you do you'll see the teeth that adjusts down over time. If you do have it see where it's at and you may have to pull quite a ways to get it to move. I've never head it click going back down and not sure...

    Souther California PLEASE READ

    Turn signals are not an option on a vehicle. Around here I get cut off who knows how many times a day from someone not using a turn signal to at least let you know they want/coming over and end up having to hit the damn brakes cause they wait til the last damn second.

    1st time at track

    I'm planning on some 3.73's here hopefully in the next month and that should help with launching. I'm surprised my car doesn't seem much slower then Texas04silverGT in his post for his 1st time going. His: r/t: .215 60': 2.144 330: 6.168 1/8: 9.393 mph: 76.86 1000: 12.164 1/4: 14.491...

    He actually looks to be around 11.5-12 across the way if the little markings on the left side are going up by 2 each.

    Motor swap and exhaust

    One thing I've been trying to figure out for a while is if I did a PI swap in to my 97GT or swapped in a PI motor what year exhaust would I have to buy then for my car?? If I put in a 99+ plus motor then I need to buy headers for the 99+ even though my car is only a 97?? It's been bugging me...

    how to remove gum from paint?

    What about the gum removers they have that freeze it so it's easier to clean up on different surfaces??? I believe it's like liquid nitrogen that in it. Just freeze the gum and the area around it and should just come right off. What about butter?? might sound crazy but it might help make it...

    Is this BS or No????

    If anything it'd be measured in FWHP vs. RWHP. It might not be false advertising cause they are not saying RWHP. 330*0.85= 280 at the wheels assuming a 15% loss.

    Ethanol blended fuel effects?

    I live in Iowa also, bout a 30 min drive from Green00Gt if he's in Boone. All my vehicles I've owned run on 89 octane with ethanol. Never had a problem with any of them. On the one long trip I've taken with the mustang I averaged around 22.5-23 mpg. It doesn't affect the car I feel at all. Just...
