    2008 GT Clutch

    SPEC has served me well for 25K plus daily driven boosted miles without a single problem. But I must admit I haven't spent too much time looking to see what other folks have experienced since installing mine.

    Location of fuel filter

    Ouch, neither have I. Not good. It's the simple stuff that slips our minds most easily.

    Help Me Out...hotrod Cams

    Seems there are a number of folks who have done it without either tool. http://www.s197forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=93100 Being cautious, I'd probably get both tools and take my time.

    C D Keeps Running

    Back in the day when I routinely did audio stuff I'd occasionally come across a system that would do this. A number of the units that I had issues with had failed load sensors - they "see" the passage of the disk and when it passed it would turn off the load motor. Not sure if this is your...

    Exhaust What Headers?

    I guess; wouldn't want to have your paws in those cramped spaces. My next project is the front suspension - K-member, A-arms, X-brace and radiator support. I'll get a clearer understanding of your approach then. Thanks for the exchange. I'm sure your advice will be helpful to others.

    Exhaust What Headers?

    Well, my intake isn't a factor (rerouted for my KB), my battery is in the trunk but I didn't try dropping the K-member, removing motor mounts (which are really what's in the way with regard to the passenger side) and don't have a collection of air tools. So if that's what it takes, I'm glad you...

    Exhaust What Headers?

    I don't mean to throw stones, but I don't see how anyone can accomplish an in car LTH install in 4 hours. I called American Racing Headers and asked them if the job takes as long as it did me or if I was just slow. They said LTH install usually takes them 6-8 hours - and I know they're...

    Exhaust What Headers?

    There is no easy LTH install for our cars. They are murder. Plan on 8-12 hours if you're doing it yourself on your back. Using a lift and raising the motor has saved folks some knuckle busting, but it's not much faster. Of course an extra set of hands will help will speed you along. I...

    Electrical Emergency Fuel Cut Off Switch

    I believe it's a push down button - red, like Nobz347 said - accessible through a molded cutaway in the driver's side kick panel.

    Need Help With Stereo Overhaul

    I'd replace the stock wiring - your 4 year old stuff is still far better. How old are the speakers? There's a fantastic selection of reasonably priced speakers - from $69 for something quite nice like Polk DB 5X7 you could replace the rears with and I'd put those 5.25 drivers and tweeters in the...

    Need Help With Stereo Overhaul

    Okay, I’ll start off slow too. You have a pretty big mix of equipment. On the amplifier side, you’re going to have to build a mounting solution. This is a creativity exercise in my opinion. I installed my amps in a rack that I staggered and pushed back as far as possible to maximize trunk...

    Anybody Run Rotrex Supercharger

    I've seen one and the owner was pleased with it. But that's the extent of my familiarity. Found this on their site: http://www.rotrex.com/Renderers/ShowMedia.ashx?i=MediaArchive:a9e636e0-79c3-479b-9e46-d95bfeda45fd

    On3performance Turbo Install On A 2005 Gt

    Good work and solid perseverance. So are they going to remunerate you for your engineering effort and the time you took to document it all?

    Suspension 07 Gt Rear Control Arms (recommendations)

    I'm a BMR guy. I love their components and they've served me very well. I went with the spherical end and fluted polyurethane combo (http://www.bmrsuspension.com/?page=products&productid=159). I do lube them - every 6,000 miles with a synthetic grease. The increase in NVH was minimal and...

    2007 Clutch Issue

    Sounds like the fluid is bleeding past the seals on the master cylinder piston.

    Wheel Spacers

    Shouldn't need any. I am told the fan blade 18s will clear the Brembos. Of course I didn't know that when I used them as an excuse to get Shelby Razors... my fan blades are under my workbench and I plan to put them on when I send my rear Shelby's off to Weldcraft to have them widened. Then...

    Exhaust Bbk Long Tube Headers And Catted Shorty X-pipe Tuning Problem

    I believe it's because the O2 sensor is so far down stream. Never had a problem before the LTs went on. Not much of a problem anyway.
