    Valve cover?

    Patience, plain and simple. They are little dinky 8mm bolts I think, maybe 10mm, the passenger side ones closest to the fireware are a real PITA to get off, and even worse putting back on. Try getting some different size wrenches, maybe the self ratcheting kind and try it again another day...

    Matching gauge and dash colors?

    It seems like they are just lit up around the edges, but they are not, its just brighter around the edges that all. They are autometer ultralite's with the same blue led bulbs that I used for the dash. Although it may seem like some parts of the dash lights are brighter than other parts, its...

I got the following parts from the following places 1 year ago because they were the cheapest at that time... heads - steeda head changing kit - steeda intake - mustangtuning.com gaskets...

    Matching gauge and dash colors?

    If you just take out the cluster there are some bulbs in the back that are just twist off, well they were in my 98 at least, you may want to confirm that with a 99+ owner for sure. Anyway, mine were size 194 bulbs and they are from varad, 3 leds in each bulb. You can get all kinds of cool...

    Crashed into a ditch!!!

    It may even be cheaper to get an aftermarket bumper, something classy not overdone of course, and some aftermarket fenders from a place like mrbodykit.com ...just a thought, it may save you some money in the end cause if you want to buy factory ford parts, good luck $$$$$$$

    Matching gauge and dash colors?

    Are you talking about the changing the lights on the stock gauges...something like this.... You can do that just by swapping out the bulbs in the back of the cluster. Its quick, easy, and cheap.

    Spring Question for Convertibles...

    I have the C springs and they work fine on my 98 vert. It lowers the car more than I expected. I love the springs, the only thing I dont love is bottoming out on the k-member every other day....oh well, looks 1000x better than before.

    If I have a blown headgasket will the car still run w/o symptoms?

    Upon closer examination, it is coming out of both exhaust pipes. Would the plugs be messed up if something was going on? Also, If I am not losing coolant, then how bad of a problem do i really have here? I mean, the end all be all indicator of this problem would be losing coolant from an...

    If I have a blown headgasket will the car still run w/o symptoms?

    Well, steamy smoke...hows that for a vague description. It doesnt linger long at all, and its not there on start up, only after a few minutes of idle. I pulled the plugs and they look pretty normal, also no bubbles in the coolant reservoir and coolant level is totally topped off...im fresh out...

    If I have a blown headgasket will the car still run w/o symptoms?

    Thanks for the help guys, I am gonna try that trick and watch for bubbles and I am gonna pull the plugs to see what kind of condition they are in. I hope its not a headgasket, but if it is I guess I am not even that mad because it wasnt that hard to take apart and now I would have all the more...

    If I have a blown headgasket will the car still run w/o symptoms?

    Okay, here is the thing...my driver side (and only driver side) exhaust has had some white smoke coming out of it for a while now, maybe a month. I dont know if it happens during acceleration, but I noticed it today when the car was at a stop. Then after I turned the car off, the smoke was...

    Pics of recent engine bay mods. –long-

    Looking good...have fun cleaning it weekly. I painted all my engine parts (intake, valve covers, timing cover, coolant reservoir, etc etc etc) and it looks good, but its hard to keep perfect and of course when you are showing off whats under the hood you want it to be perfect.

    Anyone run Nitrous with 4.30 gears?

    Dunno, just depends on the tires really. Traction is the only issue, I am running nitrous and I plan on going with 4.10's only because its still a daily driver and I cant afford the gas with a gear steeper than 4.10. But I plan on runnin nitto DR's in the spring once the gear is in

    Leaking Convertible when rains

    Sit in the car next time it rains like that and watch, I gurantee its right where the top meets the window and the top of the a-pillar. This is my third convertible (not all mustangs) and they have all leaked in the same spot. My mustang will do it from time to time, its annoying, but get over...
