    Am I gonna blow up?

    There is a hose that runs from the fuel tank to the filler nozzle; I believe that it is just merely a breathing hose for the tank - it's different from the filler hose. The problem is that last weekend while I was having a custom catback made for my Mach I to go around the panhard bar, the tech...

    Lean Condition

    I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that your car is running lean, more likely is that you smell unconverted emissions from your exhaust. I have dumps with a catted h on my Mach and I still smell it sometimes. If you find a solution to stop the smell from entering the cabin, please share. As...

    How do i remove my pony emblem?

    I confronted the same problem. I went to the dealership - it wasn't even an SVT Dealer - and asked them to borrow the bit for 30 seconds. The service rep told me that the technicians didn't like outsiders handling their tools, so I asked the rep if he could do it. This was a strange and new...

    Got Suspension?

    He's right.... ....they're both right. I agree with san~man's answer the most. However, the best thing that you can do is research for yourself (search button). I always check for reactions, both good and bad, from multiple sources when I am considering a new setup. Check out that link...

    MRT H-Pipe - excess smoke after install

    I just installed the MRT H-pipe w/cats and after starting it back up, I noticed a lot of smoke coming from the tailpipes. I would have thought this to be normal w/ an offroad midpipe, but not from a catted version. Is this amount of smoke normal (there was enough to make me a little...

    car pulls to the right and other stupid problems help please

    1. If you just had the tires and wheels put on, take it back to the shop and let them fix the pulling issue. If a wheel is out of balance, they should fix it for free. It is possible that your new, wider tires are revealing a misalignment in your suspension that you didn't notice beforehand...

    Here's what I'm putting on the car right now: Tokico Advanced Handling Kit (contains springs that drop 1.5" on a GT and Tokico blues shocks/struts) and MM 4 bolt C/C plates. This is on my Mach 1. The MM directions for a lowered car say to set the spacers up so that you raise the top of the...

    what springs should i get?

    Clearing things up... Of course you will most likely need c/c plates for alignment purposes... Steeda wanted you to also buy the balljoints because your w/o them your front A-arms will no longer be lever and parallel, but slightly angled upward. The balljoints fix this issue. Without the...

    Play in the driveshaft: should it be there?

    A while back I noticed a clunk from the rear of the car on the highway. It would happen while I was already in 5th gear, let off the throttle completely, and then reapplied the throttle. The noise was never loud enough to bother me or make me corncered that something was wrong... So the...

    How important is tire rotation?

    This site will help pick the right size tire and tell you how much your speedo is off. Tire sizes wheel dealers recomend: 18x9: 265/35/18 18x10: 285/35/18 These are not the only sizes will fit well or look good, it is just the suggested size. Although most people go bigger...

    Got subframes welded on today, stupid ?

    Hey I just got a supercharger installed today, from vortech or somebody, and I know it makes your car go faster, but how does it work? The guy it the shop called it a blower, or something, so does it blow air out the back of your car like a jet engine to make you go faster?
