    Question on NGK Irridium IX TR55IX plugs

    I have been running TR-55IX Iridiums for the last 70,000 miles. They are a long life performance plugs, with the way modular heads are prone to stripping, the less often I have to change plugs the better. Sure copper plugs are good for performance, but look how often they have to be changed. Ike

    Not running on all 8 after intake cracked

    Just seconding the bit about contact cleaner, a couple of mine were so far gone that they needed scrapeing also to get the carbon off. Ike

    Not running on all 8 after intake cracked

    The exact same thing happened to me last friday, I picked up the car and it was running rough on 7 cylinders. I made a U turn and took it back to the dealer, they said it was just some water left in the spark plug holes and should burn off, or I could leave it with them, but it would be the...

    ahh man my clutch

    If you take it to a shop, call for prices, when I had my clutch changed (I supplied the clutch) the install price quote ranged from $150 to $390, I ended up having a local transmission shop do the job for $180. (the $150 place was backlogged with work) Ike

    Hood Latch Issue

    Mine too, but it also pops open from time to time, mostly in cold weather (below freezing). The problem is now so bad that I have a new latch on order, per recomendation of the local dealership. Ike

    Magnaflow x-pipe install

    I found that a stack of short extensions arched just enough to clear where one straight long one did not, without the flopping problem of a universal. I also second the bit about the penetrating oil, even with the oil I had one nut that did not want to move, and probably spent as much time...

    99 KB GT or a 03/04 Cobra?

    My vote is find a wrecked cobra and transplant the powertrain, brakes, seats, etc. I am in much the same position, I am debating major work on my 99GT (complete drivetrain upgrade) vs. new GT 500. Ike

    What kind of shifter handle do you have?

    I replaced the stock rubber one, with a similar leather one (I think off of a '99 Cobra)., handle it tri-ax handle, with Pro5.0 shifter under it. Ike

    Two simple questions...

    To answer your first question, it is a simple T in a slot connection, no force should be required to removed it. Just pivot the T and it falls out. Ike

    exhaust question

    I like my magnaflows with magnaflow catted X, louder than stock, but not too loud. Most importantly it is near stock sound level at low RPM's so it does not wake everyone up when pulling into/ out of my girlfriend's apartment complex at midnight. Ike

    P0401 EGR FLow and Intake Change Help?

    As some of you have read last week I took my car into the local Ford Dealership to have the cracked intake replaced under the terms of their recent settlement. The job was done very poorly, when I left dealer the car was running on only 7 cylinders and very rough. (I took it back in and was...

    99 GT Free Intake Change Recall

    I do intend to call the service manager about this on Monday, I spent a couple of hours this afternoon pulling all the coils, cleaning them with contact cleaner, small wire brush, etc. Three were filled with gunk and I am surprised any spark was getting through, Three looked mostly clean and...

    There was a change in MAF's I think it happend in '02 or '03. The earlier units like on my '99 GT have a seperate AIT conected to the intake hose near the MAF, the later design integrated the IAT into the MAF and changed the connector plug. When this change occured so did an increase in the...

    Midpipe Question...

    I have had a Magnaflow catted X on my car for 70,000 miles no codes yet, but did have to get it rewelded about 10,000 miles ago due to occasional dragging on the ground. Bad roads plus lowering springs even mild ones can have this effect, the magnaflow X hangs a little lower than the Stock H...

    99 GT Free Intake Change Recall

    I just wanted to share my current Ford dealership saga, I have had a slow leak in my plastic intake by the thermostat housing for a few months, and decided I should go ahead and fix it. In doing research for what parts I would need online I ran across the fact that Ford settled a lawsuit last...

    how easy is it to install shocks,struts,springs

    It is a fairly easy job, I did mine in two saturdays outdoors with hand tools in nice weather (rear end one saturday and the front end the next), the car looked a bit odd driving down the road that week. I ran into an assortment of small problems doing the job, the cheap floor jack I had...
