    Buying first SVT need some advice

    96's had some cooling system problems right at the start, but I don't know how to tell one that has been updated from one that hasn't by looking at them. Just from the mileage, I think I'd go with the coupe.

    Brake rotor replacement

    As a technician, I've seen plenty of drilled rotors with heat cracks @ the drilled holes. It's not a certainty that every drilled rotor will develop these cracks, but it's more likely than with a non-drilled rotor. I haven't seen any increase in warped rotors when they're drilled &/or slotted...

    Hardtop or convertable SVT?

    If it's not gonna be a daily driver or see a lot of track time, topless all the way. Color....I'm not big on either choice. :shrug:

    I've only had it done thru Ford. It ain't cheap, but they're the only game in town. :shrug:

    Why Does No One Post In Svt Forums?

    I just figured it was because people didn't know how to post in the correct forum. ;)

    Looking at a 97 cobra

    I had the top replaced on my '90 LX back in about 2000. I went with a canvas top (looked much nicer than stock). New glass, new pads, etc. Cost about $1500 if I remember. This was in the San Jose, CA, area.

    Looking at a 97 cobra

    Hmmmm...no real common issues that I can think of. Just the usual stuff, check for signs of accident damage, repaint, etc. On a ragtop, make sure the top goes up & down ok...can't really think of anything out of the ordinary. The only thing I didn't check out that bit me in the butt on my '97...

    Installing an after market CD/reveiver

    I recently replaced my Mach 460 deck with a Pioneer & that adapter, both from Crutchfield. The black plug coming out of the adapter connects to the speaker harness in the car. It was not a good fit; the wires kept pushing out of the back of the Scosche plug, losing speaker connections as I was...

    Cai.....

    Who's got dyno numbers pre & post screen removal with no other changes? I wouldn't be concerned with it on a driver unless there's a dramatic drop in performance.

    eibach on an 04GT??

    If you haven't bought them yet, price H&R's. I've much preferred them over Eibachs on my Mustangs.

    End of an era, 1999 #3636 is leaving me today

    Sad to see it go, but it'll be interesting to see the next ride! I've enjoyed a bunch of your writeups on your site. :nice:

    I use Mobil 1, because I can get it at Costco.

    55k, daily driver/commuter. Bought it in 01/02 w/36k.

    So I replaced my IMRC actuator today

    That was a fair PITA. I've never had the intake off before, & had never done it while working at Mustang shops back in the day. Book time is about 3.5 hours if I remember, & I was able to just barely beat it. Not bad for 1st attempt. And no spare fasteners! :D That's how I judge a successful...
