    Removing spoiler ?

    The grommets will be temporary as I will be filling the holes if I decide to keep it wingless. I would do a V6 trunklid swap but I'd have to buy it and keep the stocker if I went that route. Trying to keep all the stock parts in case I need to put her back to original for some reason.

    Removing spoiler ?

    Hey guys I've fallen in love with the wingless look so I'm going to remove my spoiler and see if it looks alright for my ride. I've done a search and maybe I didn't use the right search options but I can't seem to find a thread where people have talked about the grommets they used for...

    Power Impressions of 5.0 5sp Vs. 4.6L 5sp

    I had a 83 lx 5.0 and I had to practice and learn how to drive my 99 cause they are 2 totally different beasts. The old Fox bodies were generally lighter by a few hundred pounds plus they made their torque down low which gives a much different sotp feel. When I first raced my 83 at the...

    Thoughts on hood "scoop"

    Trinity just go put the 35th edition scoop on I test drove a 2002 before I found my 99 and it is a big difference in size. You will have to change the drill holes for your scoop on your hood but as long as you seal it right shouldn't be a problem. Soon as it starts getting warmer out I'm...

    Knocking sound- ideas?

    Don't follow ya mine is a actually knock from the engine no matter if the defrost or heater/ac is off if it's below 40 degrees it will make that noise till it's fully warmed up but only in that spot on the rpm band.

    Knocking sound- ideas?

    almost the same with mine except it's on light acceleration between 1500-1800rpm's it doesn't do it on deceleration. If anyone know's I'm sure both of us would be appreciative

    I might as well forget the bolt-ons!

    Some people prefer to go the N/A route it's harder costs more and takes longer to get there than a forced induction motor. However those people probably like doing things the harder way or saying that hey look at my e/t and compare it to your e/t and they are as fast with no power adder, you do...

    whats the difference between power shifting and just shifting fast?

    I powershift anytime I'm getting on the gas, I can't justify speed shifting for the feel of powershifting. If your really good enough no one can tell if your a auto or stick. Yes it will blow up your stock clutch eventually, I learned to powershift on my old ranger and I mean I musta...

    3/8 or 1/2 Extension Bar/Swivel for X-Pipe Install?

    3/8 would be better easier to get up in past the bellhousing and starter on the passenger side. I used a 1/2 to 3/8 adaptor so I could impact one of the bolts off worked pretty good although I wouldn't recommend this with a cheap tool as they might snap pretty easily

    Should i get an 03cobra!!!

    I know lots of people that can afford a 03 cobra including myself why don't we have them? Cause finances come first you need to plan for your future if you make good money save as much of it as you can put the rest into the GT. Get a house equity is key. I dug myself in debt with cars just...
