    i wanna lose some weight!

    I personally removed the A/C (wasn't working anyway) and the swaybar, gutted the trunk, removed the backseat / passenger seat and replaced the driver's seat by a manual seat. Went from [email protected] to [email protected]. Later that day, I went 13.88@91 lifting 150' before the line to avoid breaking...

    where is the best shift point for a 2002 gt ??????

    Managed a [email protected] (2.15 60') powershifting at 5500 RPM. Only mods are Tri-Ax shifter and Borla catback. Ran a 13.88@91 later that night (colder air) letting off 100ft before the line. Ended up with a breakout anyway... :bang: Wonder what I could've run on that one... :shrug:

    need tire recommendations.. maybe i'm asking for too much?

    Love my KDW2, thread looks fantastic and they grip really well. I'd recommend them over my previous set of Michelin Pilot Sport :nice:

    96 Cobra *thump*

    Can it also be heard if you are not rolling ? I had a similar problem 2 years ago and it ended up being the A/C dryer bottle hitting the firewall when the compressor clutch engages... :shrug: Even though it came from the engine compartment, I could have sworn the sound came from my rear...

    Squeaking noise when pushing the clutch

    Thanks for the replies guys. I don't think it's the TOB. I can hear the squeak when I push the clutch even if the engine isn't running. Never heard anything while actually driving the car. :shrug:

    Squeaking noise when pushing the clutch

    Thought it might be the TOB but it doesn't make any noise when cruising around in gear. You think it could only be a cable lubrication problem ?? :shrug: Thanks

    Is 295/45/18 TOO tall?

    I'm running 295/35/18. They are 26.1" tall, which is about 1/2" taller than stock. They fill the wheel wells perfectly in my opinion. I heard going too tall could create problems with ABS and traction control, could also mess your shift points if you have an auto. Here's a pic so you can...

    Electrical problem? - Not PATS (LONG)

    Glad to hear it ! That's what I thought.

    Burning oil

    Well, first of all, you gotta make sure its the rings. Could also be the PCV valve or valve seals. We opened a 6.8 V10 that was burning oil last week and found out one of the pistons had only 1 oil ring instead of 2 !! Straight from the factory !! :bang:

    Danny, do you lose lights/radio when it jerks or only the ignition ?

    '00 GT Won't start

    Mike, if the car runs well at anything above idle, it is the IAC acting up.

    01 cobra front bumber

    Only true for 2003+ Cobra bumpers. Even then, there's a simple fix.

    Help me lower my clutch pedal before I sell my car :(

    Totally agree, if you're about to sell the car, don't waste money on a quadrant, firewall adjuster or aftermarket cable. I couldn't be happier with the clutch I have right now, feels perfect.

    2005 stock dyno numbers 279rwhp 300TQ

    Don't know man, that's what I'm wondering :D You've got every right to state your opinion and I don't have a problem with that. I simply think it's ridiculous to say they don't perform well based on such a video. Haven't you read reports of the auto running 13.6@100 ? I don't remember...

    help with wheels for 99 Gt

    No offense man but I had 16" wheels on my 99 and it looked bad. Ride quality might be slightly better but steering response sucked. If you're so concerned about hooking up, get 9" wide 17" wheels and throw some 275 Nitto DR or BFG KD on 'em. Should do the trick :D

    Seriously, I've ran a few 14.5+ at the track, doesn't mean the car can't do 13.9 :rolleyes: I don't know why but a few people NEED to put the 05 down to feel better :shrug:
