    Roush Exhaust question

    Thanks, I don't think I have too much fade, it doesn't seem that low, but I guess only time and a midpipe will tell. So how about the install. I had the 96 swap down to a science after switching it about 10 times. Is it any easier w/ the Saleen X? How about the studs w/ the shoulder not allowing...

    Roush Exhaust question

    This may not belong here, but it is specific to my Saleen. I had a Prochamber w/ Mac Flowpaths on my 96 and absolutely loved the sound. I can't imagine it would sound any worse with the Borla's. So my question is - with the Prochamber hanging a bit lower than the stock cats, are there clearance...

    Roush 03 Saleen Vert

    Hey thanks a lot guys. Great info. I'll take this off-line w/ Justin. I'll post more pics next month after I move.

    Roush 03 Saleen Vert

    They're the original Saleen wheels that came on the car. Upgraded to 18" chrome. I've heard good stuff about the Adams line. That's a lot for the kit, guess it's worth it though, I'll look into it. Thanks. Do you think the 3M stuff I already have will do anything on the oxidation by hand?

    Roush 03 Saleen Vert

    Hey thanks. Here's the pic of the hood, I'm pretty sure that's oxidation and not clearcoat failure. The only polish I have right now is 3M swirl mark remover for dark paint and Imperial Hand Glaze. Until I move next month and have a garage, I have limited supplies. One of the first purchases I...

    Roush 03 Saleen Vert

    Sy1172 - sorry man, your vert sounds awesome, but I just picked up the black 03 tonight. Yours sounds a lot cleaner, but I'm such a sucker for a black vert. So the car has some imperfections, a little oxidation on one part of the hood, the chrome is peeling on one spot on one wheel, it was...

    Roush 03 Saleen Vert

    Hey, thanks so much. I actually talked to the guy tonight and verified the info you gave on the options. I'm going to look at it tomorrow. Here's the thing that concerns me...I know the car is only worth what I will pay right? It's an '03 with 36,000 miles. Seems pretty high for a Saleen. Being...

    Roush 03 Saleen Vert

    He lists it as an 03. I do believe the seats are the Riccaro leather. That sounds right about the hood, I found a couple of other pictures of 03's with the stock GT hood. Thanks a lot guys, anything else I should look for?

    Roush 03 Saleen Vert

    Anyone? The hood is my major concern right now and I'm not finding much on the net.

    Roush 03 Saleen Vert

    Looking at a black '03 convertible, hoping to get some opinions. Here are the specs: This is the non-SC version. The window sticker is on the dash, shows a $47K MSRP, he's asking $23,900. Black/black top - paint is slightly faded in some places (I'm being extremely picky though.) Grey leather...

    99 GT CONVERTIBLE TOP & SIDE GLASS INTERFERENCE?

    Is it the original top? I replaced mine myself last year and had a similar problem, only the passenger side wouldn't shut properly without cracking the window. I lived w/ it for about a year and finally took it to a shop cause I thought it was a bad top. Another $500 later (after the first $400...

    Why in the WORLD would you ever do this?

    One of the funniest things I've ever seen, saw that episode three times and laughed my azz off every time he slapped Charlie.

    Vert Replacement Tops?????

    Just my .02, I replaced my top on my 96 about a year ago. Took me 15 painful hours to put on, looked good but...Long story short, it was worth the experience if you have a day to kill, but I'd advise against Key Tops. Mine doesn't fit correctly (have to crack both windows to open the doors.) I...

    Mach 460 CD Player SUX

    My Mach CD player in my 96 just started acting up. When playing burned CD's, I get static that gets progressively worse. Oh well, in any case, I'm selling the stang soon so I have a Peripheral interface w/ four channel gain control and the Ford harness available. Everything you need to hook an...

    Spending $500-$600

    Quote: Also, get a radar detector to be on the safe side Unfortunately, not legal in VA :notnice: I'm gonna sound old here, but I think you should work on suspention and styling then add performance once your parents see that you can handle the *ehem* "massive power" of the 96 vert. I plan...

    Just bought a 98 Stang GT 5spd

    A friend of mine was selling his B&M Ripper shifter a while ago. He put it in my car to see if I'd like it. I never took it out, would never go back to a sloppy stock shifter. Sounds like you've got 4.10's. How easy can you light em up? I've got a speedo gear and I'm still about 10 mph high...

    X-pipe Nightmare

    Patience and a LOT of PB Blaster Here's what worked for me. Spray the nut with PB Blaster (best penetrating spray IMO) let it soak, spray, soak, repeat, etc. Use a lot, it will come but the stuff has to soak for a while. I learned this the hard way. Use a 18 mm (I think) 6-pt medium-well socket...
