    It all depends on what you want.This is one where you will have to take it in for an estimate.If you are looking for a custom paint job,go to some of the custom car shops,audio,tint,wheels,etc.If that's no help try some of the Harley shops in the area.They usually know someone in the area that...

    I have the Pro 5.0 and love it.The handle is a little short and forward of where it fits me but that can be remedied by making an adjuster plate out of 1/8 inch steel or aluminum.

    What INSURANCE Company Does Everyone Use?

    I used Geico ins.a few years back and totaled a Merc.Cougar.The adjuster was about 100 miles north of my location.I spoke with him over the telephone and we arrived at a mutually acceptable value for the car.There was no bull*****,no going back and forth,AND he had the check to me in two days.I...

    RPM hang up

    I used a 3/16 inch drill to make the first restrictor,and after installing the Steeda timing adjuster,went down to 9/64 th's.If you start small you can always open it up if the idle is too slow.This gives around 750-800 rpm at idle even in cold weather(around 33*).It did help the 3650 shift...

    Parking Brake question

    If the rotors are not overheating you are probably alright.The parking brake is adjusted by turning the pistons back into the caliper.It's not really an adjustment but you do this when installing new rear pads.

    Need help identifying tranny part

    Although I can't see what your talking about,more than likely it's the plactic plug Ford uses to block the dipstick tube during assy.It keeps dirt from getting inside and they push it through when they install the dipstick.It's a plastic thing with an O ring around it?If so,use it as an...

    Throttle Response

    There is a 1/2 inch inside diameter hose with a rectanglular black box set in the middle.Where this hose goes into the throttle body is where you pull it loose and slip in the pipe cap.Sorry,no pics but if you go to any hardware store and ask for a 1/2 inch copper pipe cap,they will know exactly...

    Throttle Response

    Yes there is and it costs 29 cents.You can go to your freindly neighborhood hardware store and get a 1/2 inch copper pipe cap.Drill a 3/16 hole in the end and slip it into the hose that goes from the intake tube to the IAC valve.This limits how much control the IAC has over the amount of air...

    Smell the Rad - Don't See Anything

    There's a coolant tube that runs out the back of the water pump that could be leaking.If so,it will show up as coolant under the intake.A pressure test would be in order.

    How often should I drive her....

    Drive it at least 30 mins at a time or don't drive it at all.If you decide to mothball the car,change the oil and filter,squirt motor oil into the cylinders and crank the engine without spark plugs,if you hold the gas to the floor,it will disable the injectors and no fuel will go to the...

    Intermittent Driveline Screech Noise

    Try raising the rear wheels and securing them on jackstands.Run the car and see if you can figure out whats causing it that way.You could also tear the rear end down and look for what would probably be a severe wear pattern on something.

    Wierd whine coming from rear. HELP!!

    Whine=something that spins fast.Squeak=something that spins slow or has dried out.It sounds like dried out universal joints???These will squeak slowly at first and speed up as the car speeds up,to a point,then they quit.

    guys, will getting p&p heads change my exhaust or

    No your exhaust sound won't change.Except at wide open throttle.This will be due to the fact that your engine will be revving at a much higher RPM. :D

    High Milege 97 GT

    If it's an automatic trans,look at the fluid.If it smells burnt then that is a red flag.It could only be old or it could mean the trans is ready to go.Try to find out what kind of life it had.Owned by a kid with a heavy foot or driven by someone who actually cared about the car.Look under the...
