    Sub problem, questions before I start spending cash

    The problem started back when my voltage regulator blew and I overcharged everything. Ever since then(new alt.), I have been having a problem with my sub. I have since replaced the head unit, and have gotten another sub. Details: When key is in the ON position, the sub will hum a bit, and...

    cold start, good idle.....warm start, no idle

    On a cold start, my car idles like it should. It hangs around 1100-1200 rpm until it kicks down to about 750 or so just like it should. On a warm startup however, the car will start up fine, and then start surging a second or 2 later. It will jump up and down from about 1300-500 rpm a couple of...

    Question about new exhaust vibration

    Before you go cutting everything off, make sure you double check everything. I've had many different vibrations coming from my exhaust. One was a o2 sensor that backed out a bit. Another was the smog pump tube was hitting the h-pipe only while driving. Also, if the tailpipes weren't welded...

    temps rising at HIGHWAY speeds?

    Excellent. So what would be the easiest, jamming the garden hose in the lower radiator hose and then just letting it drain out of the radiator there?

    temps rising at HIGHWAY speeds?

    Out of curiosity, how do you backflush the system. My car has been doing the same thing for a while as well. The second I come off the highway it will cool down as much as 20 degrees sometimes. I was told about the spring in the lower rad hose might also be the problem. I still wanted to...

    Fuse blowing problems

    Well I didn't realize it until I went to get a new harness and one of the installation guys told me it is the exact same harness. I might mess with it tomorrow, possibly pick up an inline fuse for the wire. Thanks for the help. Chris

    Fuse blowing problems

    Well when I got my original head unit, I bought the wiring kit that just clipped together, and needed no splicing. The old head unit was a sony which gave me no problems. The new one is an aiwa, which has the same plug as sony's. So I didn't have to rewire anything, I just plugged it in. I'm...

    Fuse blowing problems

    I've just recently starting having a problem with fuse 13 (I think). It's a 5 amp fuse thats for the dash lights and the radio lights. I never had the problem until I put in my new head unit the other day. The old one never blew it, but its shot so I can't put it back in. If the radio is...

    How do I determine what pushrods to buy?

    I think the best way to find out is to do a mock up using a pushrod length checker. I got a trick flow checker for 11 and change I think. Put some grease on the tip of the valve, or use a sharpie to color it in(thats what I used). Tighten the rocker and then hand crank it a few times. Adjust...

    Opinions on type of box in a fox hatch

    Sealed box huh? That's what I was thinking. I was going to make the box so that I could point it forward, or just take it out and flip it around if I felt like it. I was also just going to mount the amp on the backside of the box, so it doesn't matter which way it is pointed. How much volume...

    Opinions on type of box in a fox hatch

    I got a box with two 10s off of my buddy. It is a bandpass box with vent tubes. It sounded pretty good for a while, but it started rattling apart, and I couldn't cover it with the vinyl pull over cover in the hatch. I don't like people being able to just look in my back window and see all of my...

    What head gasket should I get?

    Which head gasket works good with e7's? They are ported with gt40 valves. I am looking for better than stock, but my compression will be the same, so I don't need anything crazy. I was looking into gasket kits, and came upon the Ford Racing kit(part number FMS-M-6003-A50). Are the head gaskets...

    H/C/I swap soon, what gasket set?(couple other ?'s)

    Hey guys, I just about have all the pieces now for my swap but don't have a gasket set yet. I am using ported e7's and a cobra intake, so what gasket set would you recommend me using? Is there a set that gives every gasket I would need? I never really looked into it much at all. Please let me...

    Will scorpion 1.72's fit under stock valve covers?

    They are pedestal mount rockers. I don't have the cobra rockers, I was just comparing the two for fitment purposes. I don't have any rockers right now, that is why I am looking for them. The cam is from Comp, XE270HR-12, which is made to go with the 1.7 ratio rockers. That is why I was unsure as...

    Will scorpion 1.72's fit under stock valve covers?

    Just wondering whether they will fit because I had a decent offer. Will it just be the same like the cobra rockers where I need to get rid of the oil baffle? Still undecided though since my cam is made for 1.7's, not 1.72's, but I just wanted to see my options. Thanks, Chris
