    Newb with fresh stang

    The body looks pretty intact, but judging from the condition of the car, I'm going to go on a whim and say most if not all the mechanical parts are shot. And if they aren't shot, they probably will be soon. Strip it down. Build it back up.

    Exhaust manifold gasket change = headache, how?

    The bolts weren't on there tight at all. I was able to break em lose and unthread them with my finger. This is a really baffling situation.

    Exhaust manifold gasket change = headache, how?

    Yeah they're all the same length. I really have no idea what's going on. I stuck a toothpick in the hole to see how deep it was and its deeper than the bolt is long. I'm just running out of threads.

    Exhaust manifold gasket change = headache, how?

    So... I can't get 2 bolts to thread all the way in. They just don't get hard to turn. They just stop. I've sprayed some solvent in the holes thinking there might be some anti-seize gunked up in the back, but that didn't fix the problem. You guy think I should try running a tap through it?

    Tie rod installation

    How do you adjust tie rods to the proper length if you don't have the original tie rods to use as a measuring device?

    RS Rack and Pinion Shot

    So I blew the seals on my rack and pinion, and apparently the only to replace those $2 blue rubber seals is to spend $260 on a new rack and pinion :bs: As a temporary fix, I was thinking about getting a short serpentine belt and just not use the power steering pump. Bad idea? Anyone...

    4.6? gt?

    You dont wan't a v8. Mustangs with real power have v6s ;) Anyway, I'm thinking the 03-04s will have 2 valves. I know the new 'stangs have 3 valves.

    Product Warning!

    Poly-eurythane is very crappy rubber (for suspension purposes). If I'm not mistaken, the rubber around our windshields is poly-eurythane. Poly-urethane is the stuff you want for suspension components.

    Finished the interior conversion

    Did you do your carpet or did you get a shop to do it?

    Painting underside of intake?

    I'm with Grady on this one. While white does reflect more electromagnetic waves than it aborbs, I think the proximity of the intake to the source of heat would negate any possible heat reduction. The white would reduce heat transferred through convection, but you must also remember that...

    Hello ladies

    Would insane compression ratios keep pump gas from even being an issue at some point? I've always heard that about 12:1 is the most you can get out of pump gas. And 30psi would be way over 12:1 unless those cars have a 6:1 (or something like that anyway) compression ratio before boost. Is it...

    Hello ladies

    I believe that's called sarcasm guys ;) I don't know how fast stock 350Z's are, but I've seen some pretty fast ones. And they use a V6 so... I've been watching some videos on youtube... how the hell is it that imports (ie Supras) can run like 30psi and still use pump gas? That's freakin'...

    What was Ford thinking when they put together the rear suspension?

    The swaybars have more to do with understeer and oversteer than they do with wheel hop and squishy suspension. After-market lowers, poly bushings, and shocks/springs are your best bet for tightening up the rear end. The panhard bar would be good as well since it reduces torsion and...

    The 98 is a 4.6. It's also a t45 transmission i believe.

    EXTERIOR ACCESSORIES QUESTIONS

    As far as headlights are concerned, go to the 94-95 5.0 forum and check out the HID conversion a guy over there is doing. It's a real HID conversion and not those fake kits that only consist of new bulbs. Looks nice. Decent amount of fab work.
