    Kenny Brown Suspension - Who Here Is Using It?

    Kenny Brown makes really good stuff. Personally I use Maximum Motorsports because they are local to me and I have had really awesome customer service from them. If I was starting all over I would consider Kenny Brown, MM, or Griggs for a HPDE build.

    Thoughts On Mustang Fake Hood And Side Scoops

    No interest in auto-x, just open track. I already have the cooling duct brackets on the car for the 00R calipers. I am just going to take the fog lamps out and run the ducting up there.

    Thoughts On Mustang Fake Hood And Side Scoops

    I have thought of trying to make the vents on my 95 do some sort of brake or fluid cooling once it becomes a track rat.

    Thoughts On Mustang Fake Hood And Side Scoops

    You know on 94-95 Mustangs the side vents actually go through to the rear tires.

    Calibration Code

    The cal code should come up in a parts lookup with the VIN. Your car is too old for OASIS to work unfortunately. If you call a dealer and they can't figure it out pm me your VIN or at least post the last 8 digits and I can check.

    Engine 2001 Mustang Gt - Intake Manifold Coolant Nipple Broke @ 121k Miles

    That really sucks, but that is how it happens usually. This is the perfect time to do spark plugs if you haven't already. I did the intake on my mom's 00 Grand Marquis a couple years ago before it started leaking. While I was in there I did new plugs and coils. The coil boots were starting...

    Aftermarket Coil On Plug Sets, Worth It?

    No performance advantage to the aftermarket coils. There are plenty of threads on other forums where people have issues with the aftermarket coils with a higher frequency to the Motorcraft coils. Actually I have seen engines make less power with aftermarket coils, mostly on Terminators.

    Engine Felpro Intake Gasket Leaking Near Firewall

    The Dorman intake uses o-rings to seal against the head. Factory intakes use flat gaskets. Your dealer will sell you flat gaskets which will not work with the Dorman intake.

    Stright Pipe

    What are your goals? Do you live anywhere where they do emission testing? I personally prefer an offroad X pipe with Borla Stinger type mufflers on a mod motor.

    Wheel Hub Failing Again- Opinions Please

    How is the car being driven? I have seen SN95s and S197s puke the grease out of the hubs when driven hard on a road course without proper cooling.

    ARP makes some real nice extended length wheel studs.

    stainless brake hoses, front or front & rear?

    No, it was a lot more. But MM is local to me and since my work's sister store is the dealer that supplies all of their OEM Ford parts I get a good price.

    stainless brake hoses, front or front & rear?

    I have the Maximum Motorsports 5 piece kit that are made by StopTech, very high quality kit.

    Brake caliper clearance

    1/4" is about what I have in-between my 00R calipers and my Steeda Ultralites/Konig Villians.

    Spark Plug Recommendations?

    Motorcraft only, don't waste your time with anything else. We replace so many brand new, boutique spark plugs that make Ford's run like junk. Putting in Motorcraft plugs makes all the issues go away.

    QUESTION: Motorcraft Part # KH-610

    It goes to the inlet hose for the heater core. It is one of those tubes where if you have the intake off, you might as well replace it because Murphy's Law will come into effect and it will leak and the intake will come back off to replace it.

    QUESTION: Motorcraft Part # KH-610

    If you buy that tube, get the 2 replacement o-rings from the dealer. The number escapes me right now, but they are somewhere around $15 each IIRC.

    4.6L Intake Manifold Question

    The Dorman intake manifold uses o-rings around each port in place of the OEM flat gaskets. FWIW we still get a lot of intakes with aluminum crossovers leaking just like the plastic ones, even on -11 Crown Vics.

    Brakes Brake Fluid Question

    Do not use DOT 5, it is silicone based and does not play well with DOT 3, 4v or 5.1. Dot 4 and 5.1 will mix with DOT 3, but generally is thicker. You can pick up DOT 4LV from a Mercedes dealer that will have the higher boiling point characteristics of a DOT 4, but with the lower viscosity of a...

    Intake with gaskets built in?

    The intake with the o-rings built into it is from Dorman, it is not a Ford part. Ford did use that style on late 4.6L 2V's, but never on a -04 Mustang.
