    Alright folks, I've officially joined the 4.6 crew! PICS!

    Your brother's '00 has a T-45 in it with (very) slightly different gear ratios. If it is getting into 5th sooner, I would find out if the rear end gears were swapped in the '00. The T45 does have a .67 OD ratio, so if you both still have the stock 3.27s in the rear, the '00 will tach slightly...

    oem gasket from ninosport

    I ordered a Ford passenger header to mid-pipe gasket from them a while back and it was indeed a Ford part in Ford packaging.

    Alright folks, I've officially joined the 4.6 crew! PICS!

    There are a few variants to the 3650. My 02 has the .62 OD and it's the original tranny. It seems that Ford mixed and matched the ratios a bit.

    Someone tried to break into my 00 GT - Had some questions!

    There is a saying, maybe you've heard it... "When seconds count, the police are only minutes away."

    Someone tried to break into my 00 GT - Had some questions!

    I don't see the money I spent on my weapons as a waste nor do I consider my weapons offensive. God forbid, should I ever have to use them, it will be in a defensive manner. The US Constitution provides for certain powers to be enumerated to the Federal Government and all other powers are...

    Clutch Issue?

    My 02 is finicky going into reverse as well. I just put it in 1st, then reverse and never have a problem. As for the rest, are you still using the stock shifter? When I put my MGW shifter in, it cleaned up a lot of the sloppy shift feel.

    LRS having an extreme sale!

    I didn't buy 2 sets, just one. When I added it to the cart, it said 2 sets left. I also went back and checked after I placed my order (when it should have said 1 left) and it still said 2.

    LRS having an extreme sale!

    I am SOO glad I opened this thread. I just ordered one of the last 2 sets of H&R SS springs. I've been putting off lowering my car because of the total cost involved, now I have less of an excuse to do it!!

    ~Few Pics From Todays Detail~

    If you think this car looks good in pics...you should see it in person. I saw it up close this last weekend at Cars and Coffee in Plano (Dallas). 04 Sleeper, I think you were the one explaining to me that the 03/04 Cobras had the running pony emblem in the grille from the factory.

    grinding noise from rear

    My 02 was doing this when I bought it (~55k miles). We started with changing the fluid, didn't help one bit. So I wouldn't waste my time with that. It took replacing the LSD clutches to fix it, but mine had apparently been doing it so long that it had chipped the spider gears, requiring...

    Odd noise in 5th gear after short throw shifter install

    bullit 736 is correct. The TR3650 transmission has internal shift stops. TSB's and Special Messages

    Hood + bumper opinions

    x2, except for the 2nd choice...I just can't stand the 00R hood. That said, it's your car and however you do it, I'm sure you will like it. It's not about what everyone else thinks about it anyway. If you like it, that's all that matters.

    stock clutch cable and adjustable quadrant

    Ok, you've interjected your opinion, now let everyone else put their $.02 in without blasting them. Personally, I HATE the stock mechanism, but haven't upgraded it yet. I CAN notice the inconsistent clutch engagement when I am spiritedly driving. This inconsistency IS caused by the plastic...

    How do I tell if my diff is slipping?

    I think 75-140 is the now correct weight. And yes, Royal Purple already has a friction modifier in it, so you don't need any extra. Also, if they are completely rebuilding the diff including bearings, why not go ahead and put new gears in it and save the money?

    How do I tell if my diff is slipping?

    That's how mine started, then as I let it go longer, it turned into a grind that required new spider gears.

    WHERE is the LOVE for 02 GT Brakes?! (PS I need help finding new pads for my 02 gt)

    Just for a little info... The Cobra rear brakes use the same caliper as the GT...you would still need the tool to turn the pistons in. But why not go ahead and buy it? It's only like $10 or so. I don't know about the aftermarket kits.

    TRICKFLOW heads?

    From my understanding, the biggest advantage of the TFS heads over a ported PI or NPI head is the bigger intake valve. Trick Flow achieved this by rotating the intake valve in the chamber, but leaving the top of the valve in the same location so not to require a new cam design. This was a huge...

    Strange A/C problem

    Not everyone is made of gold Mr Moneybags. If he wanted to spend a ton of money on it, I'm sure he would have taken the car to a shop to rake him over the coals. I just don't see any sense in telling him to spend money that he may not have to. If you want to replace a compressor just for...

    Strange A/C problem

    First of all, it's R-134a, not R-13a. Second of all, the molecules of R-134a are smaller than the R-12 molecules, which is why you should replace any rubber lines with updated pieces on some retrofits. The rubber used with R-12 has larger pores and allows the R-134a to escape easier. This...

    revs per mile, help please!

    For some reason, I was thinking that PI*(R*R)=circumference (Pi*(Rsquared)). But I was wrong. On another note, I have found this calculator to be very helpful, even if it IS on a Miata site! Tire size calculator
