    gasket matching , is it worth it ?

    I just trim the gasket to make sure it fits properly, you probably won't even notice the difference on the street.

    mustang has the stutters

    It's possible, those cats don't last forever, could you pull the exhausts off and take a look? I've also seen where the pipe is composed of an inner and an outer piece, and the inner pipe has collapsed

    mustang has the stutters

    Fuel filter was a good call, I guess it didn't help however. Any possibility of crappy gasoline? although that might show up in the O2 sensors. BTW it does have them right? because that might be the next call.

    results of block inspection

    Pic? The engine was knocking correct? If so we can assume #8 rod, the crank (at the very least) are going to be replaced. OK it's time to do some soul searching, you can get away with just fixing #8, but by the time you pull the heads, replace all the gaskets you are basically into a rebuild...

    Need Help Diagnosing Knocking Noise

    So if you leave the car in drive and apply a small amount of gas pedal the noise really wakes up right? If so it's probably a bottom end knock, but first, pull each plug wire one at a time, with the engine running and see if the knock goes away. This could be something as simple as carbon...

    main cap bolts 15 bux each ?

    See if you can find the bolt length someplace on those bolts and then check them for stretch. You could probably get away with re -using them in a pinch. They are torqued? or are they base torque then torque yield bolts like an LS Chevy? I honestly don't recall and it's been awhile.

    Clutch fork vibrating.

    on some occasions the input shaft wobbles around so much that it occasionally whacks the case. This happens on many transmissions like the T5 and T45 that are abused. Basically the case elongates and creates more end play. Probably not your problem, but check the end play to be sure while you're...

    results of block inspection

    So you can still see cross hatch in the main saddle and their is no other signs of the bearing spinning, correct? You'll probably eat a crank on this if the thrust bearing is wiped. You always wanted a stroker right?

    Hi, just thought I'd bring this thread up to speed, I noticed I last posted here back about 2007. I still have the car. It has a kenne bell 6 psi blower, cobra nose and an 03 IRS with cobra brakes. I saved the stock wheels, brakes and nose, the stock floor mats have been in use since 1999 so...

    Spoiler project

    It's a 99 35th anniversary, I autocrossed it for awhile in a NASA class and did well, especially against the S2000s. My parents owned a house in the Appalachian mountains and I fell in love with the switchbacks but the altitude killed the power. Sooo... in went a 6psi Kenne Bell with a mild 93...

    Improving Power

    Don't get too discouraged, sure the v6 is an underdog and a v8 would be better but you got what you got. Don't spend so much money on it that you could have done a v8 swap, but until you hit that mark there are some inexpensive things you can do. I autocrossed the v6 against the v8s and did very...

    Spoiler project

    Ok I was influenced by a couple of threads requesting small apaerance mods so here's a fast and dirty one. I located a sign shop and purchased some carbon fiber wrap. Removed the rear wing from my 99 and unbolted the struts. Also found a small stress crack in the trunk from the wing...

    Idle problem mustang gt please help!

    Yes clean out the MAF and scrub the crud out of the idle motor as well. A bizzare problem that cropped up in mine was the a/c switch was acting up, it's supposed to kick the idle when the a/c goes on. Low freon can mess with that, the stock switch have a small allen inside them that can be...

    Cheap custom appearence mods

    You could cut the stock springs, just do a little at a time, then put some aftermarket wheels on it. I wouldn't go over 1 coil on the front for starters, same with the rear. You can also switch out spring isos to raise or lower it. I used to run a stock class car and that was the only way we...

    Want 1999-2004 Mustang For My First Car. Need Advice.

    Well the negatives have been pretty well covered. If you can pull off a mustang as a first car (with regards to insurance) and you don't drive like some ricer then they are very dependable cars. If you get one that's not beat to death and has been well maintained you should be in pretty good...
