    I HATE the 2V spark plug wells...need opinions

    Well, to be honest, this is the first time I had ever pulled the COP's. I should have changed the plugs before 73K miles, but they were fine, so I never took the COP's off. Actually, they sealed quite well. I think my PCV valve is on the way out because the passenger side had some oil on the...

    I HATE the 2V spark plug wells...need opinions

    Ok...this one topic is comprised of two separate questions. I've been tearing down the engine in my '02 in preparation for the KB 2.1L that is going on it in a few weeks. Here are my questions: 1. When I changed the plugs to the TR-6's, I cleaned around the wells and vacuumed out the wells...

    Question about Compression Test and Spark Plug Removal

    Yeah, I was happy with how the results came out. Should be good to go. I'll make sure I check the plugs often then. I have only driven the car 2K to 3K miles a year for the last few, so the plugs may last decently long. I was very paranoid when switching out the plugs. There weren't any big...

    Question about Compression Test and Spark Plug Removal

    So I got it all done finally. Compression test is done and there are new TR-6's in the stock plug's places. Compression came out as 150-153 over all cylinders and I'm very happy with that. It has 73K miles on it, but I wanted to check anyway. Now shes ready for boost in a few months...

    Question about Compression Test and Spark Plug Removal

    Hello everyone. I'm doing a compression test on my '02 GT to double check and make sure the motor is ok (73K miles) for the 2.1L KB i have planned for it in a couple of months. Quick question though. An overwhelming majority of people say that compression tests should be done with the motor...

    Low HP (Tork Tech)

    How many miles are on the motor overall? How many miles are on the motor since you have been running the nitrous? Did you do a compression test before putting the blower on? Just looking at all angles.

    Interested in seeing what an intercooler/heat exchanger looks like behind the stock GT front bumper. I know you can't see it much, but I just want to see what it looks like from the front. If anyone has pics I'd like to see them! Thanks! :nice:

    Any way to find the color production number of a model?

    I called Ford and they have a request in to their research team to give me an answer. They think they can break it down for me, but arent sure. I'm very interested to see how many in my year were produced with the cloth interior since I had to order the car with the cloth interior because the...

    Pics of the 00 with the new wheels

    $2800!?!? I just kinda passed out. I paid $1850 for my 18X9 and 18X10 FR500's with KDWII's. I guess the chrome is a huge amount more. Looks awesome though! Thanks for sharing!

    Any way to find the color production number of a model?

    Hey everyone! I'm applying for some stated value insurance with American Collectors and the form asks for the number produced of the model. Mine is a '02 GT Mineral Gray Deluxe Coupe. I know they made 26,898 MG Mustangs in '02, but they made a total of 33,093 GT's in all colors. I really...

    Photo shoot (9/2/09)

    Great pics Dustin. Thanks man! Nothing like getting the foxes out a little! One quick question...did your buddy have a seat shop do his Corbeaus like that? Or did he order them like that? Classy looking! BTW...Since I'm 6', 210lbs I don't know if I would fit in those seats. Man they look...

    96 GT vs 99GT vs Cobra

    Just an FYI, you are going to end up with the same motor in the '96 or the '99 and up GT if you do the PI swap on the '96. Though, you may raise the Compression ratio with the swap onto the '96 car. Not sure on that though. Either way, they will both still have the weak rods which won't last...

    Reviews of MM's Panhard Bar?

    I second this statement, but both me and a buddy of mine have the MM PHB on our cars (my GT and his Mach 1) with a SLP LM2 catback and have no problems. It took a little adjusting here and there, but the SLP system is in several parts, so it can be adjusted enough to clear the PHB with no...
