    4.10 gears illegal in CA??!!

    No actually they are right. Changing the gear ratio means that they might have to shift out of 2nd gear on a loaded (dyno) smog test. Also you have to reprogram your computer to account for the new ratio, and any programming must have a CARB EO number.

    got shafted

    Whats the complaint here? Seriously anytime i have bought or used a "used" or "junkyard" rear end assembly i have had them rebuilt. There is no telling how long they have sat with or without fluid and what other contamination in there.

    So I noticed this when I was filling up..

    going off of memory, but the Ford number should be 2R3Z-9072-AA if you go into the dealer. Whenever i sell a fuel pump assy. on a mustang i sell one of those grommets.

    2002 - 2004 PCV Valve

    both the Ford parts lookups we have at work, SnapOn and Microcat both show both those as being possible for the newer stands. When i even go into Ford's Historcal Vehicle Build of Materials and put a VIN in it says "multiple service parts" and to compare to the vehicle. Which sucks because...

    can I use a fox body rear in my 96 gt

    suspension pick-up points are identical. the housing itself is narrower and hte axle shafts are shorter. using a fox body rear end in a SN95 or New edge lets you run wider tyres generally.

    brake light comes on?

    btw youre never supposed to top off brake fluid. low brake fluid on a vehicle with disc brakes generally indicates the caliper pistons are extended so you most likely have pads that are thinning out or else under spec rotors.

    MGP Caliper Covers

    I have some serious concerns about these in the area of brake fade. The S197 is already woefully underbraked and prone to brake fade on road courses, and it would seem these covers block airflow over the caliper and store heat in them. Just some clarification would be nice.

    The best octance for GT ?

    Tell me about it, Volvo says 91 is technically below the minimum the car was designed for. If i drive it hard i average 18-19mpg, if i try to save gas i get maybe 21-22.

    Oil weight and car smoking

    In Australia they run 5w40 in modular motors that are built in the US. Sounds like leaking valve stem seals or worn guides, changing oil weight or adding a bottle of snake oil wont fix it.

    need to replace my rear axle seals.....

    Also in keeping in spirit of the tech section it is not helpful to tell someone to not do the job they are asking how hard it will be to do. It might be over the OPs head, but just flat out saying its too hard and requires special tools shows arrogance on your part. Truth be told a seal...

    Serious 4v N/A Horse power opinions?

    O i know the factory stuff is all that and a bag of chips, but if built right this motor should last at least 4 or 5 years of hard track days if properly maintained.

    If i were doing a serious N/A 4v build here is what i would do assuming this would not see street use or very little street use and smog/emissions were not an issue -Aluminum block, doesnt matter which one they all work without boost -Darton MID sleeves bored to 3.70", allows the valves to be...

    Can't align / bad vibration

    Interesting they didnt have enough range on the camber plates. I had plenty of adjustment on my mustang with MM coilovers front and rear no matter how far i lowered it. Did you orient the plates correctly, ie they have positive and negative. Wheel weights are supposed to be closest to the...
