    Focus Fuel Pump on a Stock Engine?

    I'm using a SVT focus fuel pump because the stock one broke. Works fine without any issues. I data logged using xcal2 and the pressure is exaclty the same as the stock pump (when it worked).

    Problems with the 6 Disc in my 02 GT

    If you have some technical skills, take out the radio and remove the front face on the radio. Clean the rubber roller that pulls in/pushes out the CD with rubbing alcahol. Your radio should work untill it gets all gummed up again.

    which throwout bearing to use...spec or ford?

    My McLeod clutch kit from Maximum did not come with any TOB. I had to but it separately. I did not want a ford one so I'm trying out the centerforce.

    Battery/electrical help.

    Once your car gets started you can run it directly off the alternator without a battery. If that don't work, your alternator is bad. Sounds like the problem is the voltage regulator, but that's built into the alternator.

    which throwout bearing to use...spec or ford?

    Maximum Motorosport sells the stock OEM TOB. I called and verified. I'm using a centerforce TOB from Summit but it's too early to tell if it's good (Only got 1K miles on it). I hear the Timken TOB's are good but Autozone don't sell them anymore. If you can find it, use a Timken.

    What are some good performance tires?

    If you drive in weather below 50 deg. F, don't even look at the Kumho Supra 712's. I just picked up KWD-2's as replacements.

    Quick Electrical Question

    looks like a molex connector. Maybe you can use two 2-pin connectors from Radio Shack. http://www.radioshack.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=2032286&cp=2032058.2032231

    Afraid to tweak with my Xcal2... help please..

    detonation sounds like your valves are making noise. My mail order tune had the air/fuel mixture at 12.8:1. I leaned it out 2% and got 13:1. I could increase 2 deg of timing (Max my tune would give me) without a problem too.

    XCAL2 Help

    What mods have you done with your car? My Xcal2 was tuned by Kenny from Modular Depot and its pretty good. Most tuners will turn off the rear o2's by default. I bet yours are off too. http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/8732/dyno2cg.jpg The blue graph is my 93 octane tune The...

    Who has replaced their clutch in their driveway?

    I replaced my clutch at 102K miles and it had another 30K miles left on it. I made about 40 passes down the 1/4 mile too. I replaced it because my TOB was messed up. Be sure you replace the pivot ball and arm where the clutch cable attaches to ($40 for both at dealer). My pivot ball had a...

    Who has replaced their clutch in their driveway?

    It's a 5 hour job at the dealer, so it's going to take you 2 full days (if you never done it like myself). I changed my clutch last weekend and it sucked. Took me 2 full days. I don't have an transmission jack so getting the tranny back (by myself) took a while with 2 jacks. I will never...

    To start loading your tune, start with the key in the OFF position and turn it to ON when the XCal tell you to.

    transmission fluid level

    You will notice tranny fluid in the shifter housing. The new mustangs use 3 to 3.2 Liters of regular (non synthetic) dexron III ATF. That's what I used when I changed my clutch. From all the threads I read, the synthetic is too slippery for the synchros to grab so tremic switch to regular...

    HARD CLUTCH!!!

    The shaft that the throw out bearing rides on is probably dirty. The missing cover is not helping. Even with the cover on, it's gets all gunked up.

    Be sure you have a magnetic stick handy. I dropped the socket in the tank while I was putting in a SVT pump.

    I already experienced the mix. My 93 octane pings at all RPM's. I'm running a 87 octane tune to make it go away.
