    Im scared to change my plugs

    Ford quoted my buddy well over $100 to do a plug swap, and it takes a lot to make any dealership man up to something thats their fault anyway. I have a leaking oilpan from a new engine THEY warrantied and installed, and they won't fix the gasket on the new engine because of my aftermarket...

    Im scared to change my plugs

    Isnt it 15 INCH pounds? You only turn it with the drive a TINY 1/16th turn after youve done what you can with your fingers. I disagree with teflon tape usage as well. If anything, I put a tiny dab of dielectric grease on the threads, perhaps particularly if you feel grit in the threads while...

    Why my cars never will never go through a drive through carwash

    There was a post on this very forum where someone's antenna was ripped off and the roller literally beat the sh_t out of every panel on the car. It was AWFUL looking.. O'Reilly has a commercial like this too. Its great, some ricer drives into one and it beats the hell out of his car and rips...

    2000 GT engine rattle, clip inside

    Oh, this is way late, but the problem here was the timing chain tensioner had seized up and the chain was literally eating through the guide. I think the repair bill was around $600. Seems to have suffered no other problems though, car went 13.0x after the repair (4.30s, CAI, exhaust, drag radials).

    Show me your ET

    If it's in limp-home mode, the SES light will flash and the car will have no power. The only thing patching the O2's (which, btw, arent even O2s- theyre catalytic efficiency monitors) will do is fix the error code. Get gears! :nice:

    Front end damage (need advise as in to fix)

    "just" holds the front of the car on? oh my. you will have to have a whole new front clip, and this will involve completely rebuilding the front end geometry and front-to-rear relatated geometry. if not done to the perfect specifications on a frame machine, the car will never drive right. if you...

    Show me some pics of how you mounted your bottles!!!

    I have since put my back seat back in and the bottle is completely hidden even if you look in the trunk. It just barely fits behind the seat in the area where the top goes down into.

    A Convertible and Hard Rain Leak.

    Mine was doing this and I fixed it with a $3 tube of windshield sealant RTV. The edges of where the rear glass meets the fabric was pulling away and dripping in the corners. It's not permenant, but it will probably outlast the life of the rest of the top..

    new manifold

    The aftermarket ones will hurt a stock car without serious head/cam work or at least forced induction..The OEM piece is actually pretty good flowing, and the plastic is good for heat convection..just weak for backfires or insane boost.

    How to push-start a car?

    If you have the ignition in the "run" position, you forcibly start the engine over by using the tires to drive the engine (translating power backwards through the drivetrain) instead of turning the key to "start" where the starter turns the engine at the flywheel. 1st gear is fine for jump...

    I picked up some 13" slotted/drilled/zinc plated rotors for just over $100 on ebay from iRotors (www.irotors.com, but they sell much cheaper on their ebay store)
