    Heh, that site is marketing genius. I see the statistics that are boldly written on the front page are of items purchased, not actual votes.

    Talkin tires..

    Too bad they don't come in a 315 or 335 (or so Tirerack has told me). I'd run them. I'm on the hunt for tires myself, actually. Unfortunately this time I have to do all 4.

    So I did it!

    Congrats! So, is this your first stick vehicle, or just your first fast one? Either way, be careful with it until you get a feel for all of that Eaton-y torque.

    Talkin tires..

    I'd say go for some BFGoodrich KDW2 tires. They grip the best I've ever seen in a regular street tire, don't hydroplane at all, and even go in the snow. Not to mention they are awesome looking. The only downside is they are BFGs, meaning like 15k MAX out of them. That, and if your car is...

    Thinking about buying a bike...

    I suppose I should get one of these, after hearing some of these comments.

    ACCEL coils

    I went through two sets of Accels, and will never buy an Accel product again. They are total crap! I had a bad one right out of the box! I just went through hell in a handbasket trying to figure out why my car was running so bad under load, and it ended up being those stupid coils. A...

    Help! P0174 :(

    I've still got my MIL eliminators spliced into my rear O2s, along with my custom Xcal3 tune with the rears disabled. I've never gotten a light for the rear oxygen sensors, even before the tune. If it were a problem with them, the code would read something like Oxygen Sensor Malfunction Bank 1...

    Trying to decide between 2 different types of Wheels - HELP

    I would have to agree with N8Dogg on that one. That thing looks spotless!

    Ebay Headlights

    That's quite possible. I drive my car like I stole it every single day to work.

    Ebay Headlights

    Unless they are Ford oem, then absolutely not. Every set of aftermarket Ebay lights that I have dealt with, even my own, are currently FULL of condensation. Nothing shy of remeltimg them together properly will make them stay dry inside. One of my lights F$ck!*@ jiggles around in the housing...

    My new blower showed up!

    Nice! So, was that little cut on the cowl the only modification you had to make to the car itself for the blower to fit?

    cobra bumper

    Bondo Mar-Hyde Corp. 3310 Flexible Bumper and Plastic Patch Kit I had a friend that put a Supercoupe rear bumper on the back of a Cougar. He ended up filling in the "Thunderbird SC" with something similar to this stuff and painted over it. The product was actually made by "Bondo" which is...

    Can't push gas pedal more than half way...

    Oh, the inside plastic of my TPS where it holds onto the throttle blade pin was all chewed up. I still consider it an improvement, so thanks for the suggestion in the first place :nice:

    SVT Focus Pump Install

    You could always pry off the fuel sock and remount a new one. There should be a small plastic pinch clip on one side, or a pin with a circular clip that pries off. You can pick up just the fuel sock at most auto parts places. Does your power connector at least clip into the new pump?

    Can't push gas pedal more than half way...

    Well, she's FINALLY all better. After a miserable day at work, I decided to install the new Motorcraft TPS, as well as swap my Accel coils out for the essentially brand new Motorcrafts I had laying around. After dicking around with those stupid TPS screws for two and a half hours, I got the...

    fox 4 banger springs?

    I've run several combinations of Fox 4 slug springs, and they are pretty decent. I ran my best time on cut 4 cylinder rears. Currently, my car sits on stock rear 4 cylinder fox springs, and 1 coil cut fronts. It rides like a rock, but it hooks awesome at the track! Stock 4...

    puked all my coolant

    You shouldn't have to worry about the alternator bracket. That's if you are swapping from NPI to PI. Also, there technically isn't an upper intake gasket. Most intakes have an integrated rubber seal where the plenum mounts. I believe the Dorman intake uses that same gasket style on the lower...

    SVT Focus Pump Install

    I saw that fuel sock on one of the other Ford pumps I was messing around with at work. I think you got a sock for a van...

    Can't push gas pedal more than half way...

    I didn't make the tunes myself; I bought the tuner with 3 custom tunes from LaSota Racing in Ohio. They sent me a CD with the tunes on it as well, and I even re-loaded my tuner with them and reuploaded that, and it still didn't work. One weird thing to mention, I always had my TCS button...

    Can't push gas pedal more than half way...

    Nope. I can run a datalog with my X3, I suppose. I do have a few random gauges that I've collected over the years. I think one might be a boost gauge. Here's one thing to consider.... When I was removing one of my COPs, the little copper bushing that the hold down bolt threaded into was just...
