    IAC Valve Pricing???

    I'm looking to replace my IAC valve because my car has been idling erratically. I called the Ford parts dept. and found that they want $108 for it. I've found off-namebrand versions on ebay for about 1/2 that price. Has anybody ever bought a replacement, and if so, did you go with an...

    horrible startup & idle

    thanks for the replies...as far as the 'hanging rpms'...this is worse than I've personally ever seen it...say I rev the engine upto 3000...it'll sit there for about 3-4 secs before it starts to come down....now when I hear you guys talking about 'hanging rpms', I generally would think that just...

    Black wheels. why?

    black wheels are definately just a 'preference' issue...I like the contrast on my car w/ the black mirrors, molding, chin spoiler, tinted lights....there are lots of black details on the car for the wheels to blend in with...and the overall appearance becomes 'dark' and 'mean' looking (IMO)

    black cap on IAC

    the black box that you took the filter out of and cleaned is simply a 'noise dampener'...it does something to quiet the intake of the car I believe...there has been talk circulating that you can remove the box and connect a longer hose directly from the IAC to your intake...(not sure what good...

    horrible startup & idle

    Here are the problems I'm seeing: start the car...rpms jump around a bit and either drop until the car turns off or I can press the gas and they'll hang dramatically for a while and then do the same...a few presses of the gas for about 20secs generally cures the low rpms....but even a 10-15...

    New wheels for my car and my DD

    after a good wash I'll snap new photos...then I have to get the suspension dialed in again and fix my throttle response problems before I shred into the new drag radials only other appearance mods for the car will be black/silver '281' badges for the sides, and possibly tint overlays for the...

    New wheels for my car and my DD

    ***As promised...here's some pics of the last couple days' progress...I appologize for the crappy quality (camera battery was dying and it was raining) To get things off...my border collie was very happy to see the MM coilovers go back on the car...they'd been sitting in the garage near his...

    New wheels for my car and my DD

    quick update here...put the new wheels on the car last night....needless to say I was happy w/ the fit...the tires come out to the edge of the fenders at all four corners...may have to put some spacers on the front but not sure yet....I'll roll the car out of the garage tonight and snap some...

    13" ROTORS...where?

    Where is the best place to get a deal on some 13" slotted/drilled rotors and either cobra, or mach calipers...I see the pieces to build the kit on ebay but wasn't sure if somewhere else already had something like this pieced together for cheaper...anybody know where to get the best price?

    Rims...

    I've had both the deep fr500's and deep dish bullitt's...both 18" versions. My personal opinion is that the FR500's have the better spoke design and look cooler when in motion...but I never liked how the front (18x9's) didn't have a lip on them...when you go deep dish bullitts, the front has...

    New wheels for my car and my DD

    sold them in preperation to sell my car.......shortly after I realized it was a big mistake....I love my car, and if I sold it, I'd just buy something else to pour money into (probably a cobra)...so I made an executive decision and decided to keep the car and just start driving it more (only put...

    anyone have coilover pics

    That setup is simply the 'full coilover set' from Maximum Motorsports w/ billstein race rated shocks/struts...and the 4 bolt Caster Camber plates to help line everything up...don't remember how much it was but I do remember it being rather pricey

    anyone have coilover pics

    This is the lowest I ever wanted my car....but the front had a lot more travel left on the threads...and the rear had even more....Maximum Motorsports will allow for upto 5 1/2" of drop if you ever so desired (although I don't think it's even possible)...and you could even lift the car a bit if...

    Which rims will look best on my car

    I have trueblue...which is close to your color but a little darker...I'm on my 4th set of rims, but IMO, the hypercoated FR500's would look great on your car...Not as flashy as chrome, but still has 'stand-out' appeal...would have sold you mine but they're already gone now I'm waiting on my...

    focus fuel pump didnt fit

    Also...i've always heard that it's a good idea to drill some holes in the bottom of the white plastic housing...to allow more gas in there...someone was complaining that you shouldn't go below a 1/4 tank of gas when you're FI w/ a Focus Pump before...so I've always been cautious w/ mine and fill...
