    NEED HELP! Speaker problems.....

    A neat trick we'ld use in the stereo world to connect a small amp to all the speakers w/o running new wires would be to loop the fronts and the rears together at the harness behind the stereo, run the front outputs from the amp to the rear "input" wires going to the speakers, and the rear...

    Cutting Stock Springs

    Ok, basic math here... 1"=450lbs. 2"=900lbs. Since you've essentially cut 1" out of the spring travel, now to make up the inch and the travel of the suspension has taken that inch, you will have to use 900lbs of force to compress the spring any further. That's why it will feel stiffer...

    Cutting Stock Springs

    Cutting the springs and keeping the stock spring rate is an oxymoron. Spring rate is measured by the amount of force (in pounds) it takes to compress a spring one inch. The stock springs are set to 450 pounds/inch. Cut an inch (or more) and that formula gets mulitplied. Now you have an inch...

    CDC Shaker (Mach 1) kit

    I know that the Banshee kit was first to come out, and they (Banshee) was actually looking at using my wife's car (2001 V6 at the time) to make the prototype of the V6 unit. Some things fell through, and they didn't use it. Mainly that they didn't want someone else engineering it (we lived in...

    PN 4363 and 4463 say they come with the adapter and the wire harness. Should be all you need to install, besides the bezel/A-Pillar mount...

    Will console from 01+ fit 97 GT

    Actually, I found a coffee mug that fit perfectly in my 98. Granted, it was only a 12oz mug, but it fit well in the forward holder, with the handle in the groove. Was low enough to clear the shifter (Tri-axe with Fatknob) and didn't move around. I think I got it from Target. When I got the...

    gauge help

    I've got a mechanical gauge on my 98, and from experience with the setup, I would have gone with electric. First, if you don't already have the gauge, it comes with no lines whatsoever. Second, in order to connect the gauge, you must go to a hydraulic shop to get the necessary adapters for...

    CDC Shaker (Mach 1) kit

    From someone who owns a Mach, the scoop is barely functional, but does "pressurize" the box with cold air. If there is a ram-air effect, it would be above 120mph... If the look you want is just for the shaker, it also barely shakes. Only when you stab at the throttle will you notice any...

    rates on the mach 1 struts and shocks

    I'm not sure about the rebound/compression rates, but they're 27mm front and rear. Also, the spring rates are 600 (linear) front and 250 (linear) on the rears. Stock GT: 375-450 (progressive) front and 195-225 (progressive) rear. Hope it helps...

    Are '94-'98 seat tracks the same as '99-'04?

    Also, when you drill the hole for the seat belt, get a bit of 1/4 to 3/8" stock, 1-2" wide, to use as reinforcement under the tunnel...

    Just bought a 98 Stang GT 5spd

    Easy way to tell. Since you need to change all the fluids anyways ( I never trust a used car salesman to do that), when you drain the rear end, take a look at the pinion. It should be stamped on the face. BTW, 3L27 means 3.27.

    Just bought a 98 Stang GT 5spd

    The local ford dealer should have the intake manifold for around 250 beans. I've got the same leak, and am debating wheither to swap the heads (new intake included) or to just fix it as it is. Good purchase, though! BTW, what color?

    dumps...

    I was told by a "respectable" source that the 4.6 doesn't like dumps... Don't know how true the info was, though.

    Serious Safety Question!

    Most roll bars won't help in a T-bone situation. You'ld need multiple cross braces in the door area to get the benefit.

    Real 03 Cobra or No???

    I truly hope you didn't pay 16k for it. More like 12k is what it'ld be worth to me. I don't doubt it's a nice car, but just think, it's already been wrecked. Do you know what the value of it is going to be in a year? A friend has a 2002 GT, and the dealer said 14K trade. Imagine what if it...

    I was bored.

    I got a little bored yesterday. A friend of mine had his o/r h pipe sitting on my back porch from his 95 GT (RIP). Well, I decided to try and fit it on my 92. Everything fit with two exceptions. The air tube wasn't long enough (4 dollars for a rubber tube and hose clamps), and the driver's...
