    Something curious that happened tonight

    Agree with above. May need to add fluid.

    Some very good information in here. I still have the winter to decide. The things I'm looking at is reliable power. I want something that will hit easy 12's with bolt ons, and still drive every weekend. No one thinking I should switch up to the S197 platform?

    Help me decide on wheels!

    The FR500 are my favorite wheel. That being said, I'm not a fan of black wheels. I'd rather have a set of wheels that stand out instead of looking like steelies.

    I have talked about this same thing before. It will cost way more than $5k to get the kenne bell on the car. The kit itself is $5,500. Then you have to look at the additional upgrades, the tuning, and how long the clutch will hold. No love for the S197? It already has what, 60 more hp...

    That's a few good points. Not sure how much my 5 speed will like the thrashing. Not really an all out track guy, but do enjoy going a few times a year. Not a fan of nitrous, and don't plan on putting that to my stock motor.

    THANKS FOR THE FLASH STRANGER

    You have to keep in mind what the main goal is for running a speed trap. To slow vehicles down on a certain roadway. They are set up at places where speed is an issue (accidents or complaints mainly). With the above in mind, if you are flashed about an officer sitting a head, would you not...

    Clutch noise

    Throw-out bearing. This is the bearing that rides between your clutch fork and the clutch diaphragm. They normally make noise when there is no pressure on them (clutch pedal out). They will also make noise when they are moving back and forth. Replacement means you have to drop the trans...

    I just have minor bolt ons right now. Can't justify spending tons of money to fully bolt on the car, when a blower will be about the same price with way more power. I think that a 5.0 swap would be a giant waste of money. I don't think they would bolt up to the trans, and I would basically be...

    Clutch noise

    Other guys will chime in, but that sounds like a TOB going bad to me. These cars have a bad reputation for bad TOB. Personally, I've driven with a few making similar horrible noises for several thousand miles without problems. Literally 20k on a bad TOB without problems. Edit: Forgot the...

    Headlight out warning and HID's

    For anyone searching in the future: Apparently the Mustang headlight socket is set up different than most other 9007 headlights. Not sure why. I was able to get them to work properly by changing the positioning of the three wires that plug into the stock harness. They all have random...

    Need Advice

    So here's my dilemma: The power levels of my car have been disappointing me lately. I have saved the $5,500 for the KB kit, and am currently saving for the tune, extra parts I may need, and then reserve money for another motor if needed. The thing I'm caught up on it that with all the...

    injector/fuel pump

    That's a bad tune. If the car runs fine and has power after it starts, then it obviously isn't the fuel pump.

    Clutch noise

    That sounds like someone being murdered. What's the deal with your car? How many miles, bolt ons, and any recent work to the clutch? Sounds like something really needs oiled.

    Whats causing my wheel wobble?

    I had a similar issue, and as the tire wore down I was able to see a flat spot. Apparently a belt had broke. Did you check the wheel bearings?

    Whats causing my wheel wobble?

    How old are the tires? What is their condition? Any number of things could cause this.

    Are my rear shocks worn

    Get under the car and look? Mine were leaking at 70k and turned out to be a replacement set. If yours are stock, they need done.

    over heating and coolant loss

    Answer all the questions darkside posted. How did you fill the coolant system. Normally a thermo gets stuck open causing the car to run cool. Who told you to change it?

    2003 Roush Running slight rough, and really slow 1/4 times

    The red line is there for a reason. There is also a rev limiter in place to keep the motor safe. Do not worry.

    v6 to 5.4 swap

    Agreed with above. Not really sure what you typed in. You may benefit from using Microsoft word next time. Pictures and numbers stamped will help us determine what's going on. Take some of the motor and engine bay. The swap may not be finished causing your problems.
