    Regular tokico shocks/struts ok for lowering?

    I had the Tokico Spring/Shock Handling Kit on my '02 GT for a while. I thought it was a great improvement over stock when I did it, and I had no clearance issues with my wheels and tires (Front: 18x9 w/ 275/35/18 Rear: 18x10.5 w/ 315/30/18). I was also able to align the car without C/C...

    Tremec 3650 TSBs???

    You really should describe your issue better than this if you want to get a decent diagnosis. Try again, but this time, with words. EDIT: quote clarity

    That happened on my 02 GT once. I did what trinity_gt suggests and it was no longer bothersome.

    hardwire radar detector help included

    The fuse won't be bypassed unless some threads of his wire made it into both holes of the fuse slot. I've done the same thing with a couple of other interior electronic pieces. I like this method because it's easy to do and if the fuse dies, you are more easily able to isolate where the short...

    coilover noise - help please

    I think you meant softer than stock means less dampening. I also think that there is more to what's causing the squeak than a relatively stiffer spring rate; I think what he is describing is the contact noise between the steel spring and the aluminum seat. Here's a thread on how some of the...

    Custom Catback for MM Panhard writeup - Pics

    It's not so bad to do yourself. Just grab a friend. The only part that was hard to find was a 5/8" drill bit that would fit my drill that only accepts up to a 3/8" shank.

    Do X pipes have to break in?

    To check at engine/exhaust manifold for leak: Open the hood, start the car, and move the throttle with your hand while listening closely. If the hissing noise becomes less noticeable at higher rpms, then you have a leak there. If not, you have other problems. Lots of people find their...

    Check Engine Light came on....HELP!!!

    Don't get all excited just yet. This sounds like something that happened to me. When I replaced my H-pipe with an MRT H, I didn't notice that the new location for the O2 sensor was right below the A/C drain spout. I was driving one day and the my CEL came on. The dealer told me I had shorted...

    Custom Catback for MM Panhard writeup - Pics

    Header wrap is an insulator. The principle behind their use is that you can keep the temperatures in the header higher to increase scavenging. In this case, the wrap was applied as an additional safety measure to keep the heat from the pipes away from the fuel tank. Thanks for all the postive...

    Custom Catback for MM Panhard writeup - Pics

    Because I haven't seen many threads on the subject, I thought some of you guys might like to know how I went about the exhaust clearance problem with the MM Panhard Bar. It was an ordeal to say the least: After putting in my MM PHB on my Mach, I had dumps put on the exhaust just before the...
