    Dilemma to keep or not to keep

    Id get rid of it. Its just a Fox, yeah its got T-Tops, but its in shoddy shape. You know you'll always be able to find another. Sucks to have to get rid of it though :(

    please help with massive coolant leak (pics)

    From what it looks like, it was the EGR spacer with the coolant lines that go through it. Be sure to drive the car for at least 10-20 mins and get it nice and hot, that will let lots of coolant flow through the passages.

    Use the stock intake?

    Performers are great manifolds for the street, id take a dual plane over a single plane any day for a street car. Also, they are pretty cheap.

    Shock install?

    You need air tools to "shock" the top bolt on the struts. I took my bottom bolts off with a breaker bar, but it was like 4 feet long and a huge pita.

    My S197 Rental Car Impressions

    I dont know if the car had the pony package, I would assume not since its a rental. The seatbelts were my only real gripe with the interior as far as "using the car", but it felt ultra cheap. Id assume a GT with some more oomph and a stick would be kinda fun to play with.

    My S197 Rental Car Impressions

    The interior actually felt pretty big. The seats were comfy, but of course the rear seats were useless. It was just the sheer size and weight of this thing that put a bad taste in my mouth. It just felt huge. The V6 was somewhat peppy if I manually shifted the thing, but driving in OD or D was...

    My S197 Rental Car Impressions

    So me and my GF visited Hawaii last week, it was a great trip. We had the option of upgrading our rental car from an econobox to a S197 V6 Drop Top. I figured what the hell and spent the extra 60 bucks. Like everyone says, they are a way more "refined" car, decent to cruise in and ride...
