    Something New, Before, then After

    That is why I did it in my mom's garage. I drove thirty minutes to get there. It is not heated, but it is insulated, so I opened the door from the house, and shut the garage door, so it heated the garage. It was decent, until she came home and let all the warm air out!

    Something New, Before, then After

    All right, today I spent all day cleaning the interior due to the pig that used to own the car. Seriously, who eats and drinks in their car? He had had a dog in the car, so it kind of stunk, and there was dog hair on my cloth seats, so this cleaning needed to be done. Also, I had not removed...

    Anyone Else Here Sick Of Winter

    I am in Utah. I hate the winter. So much. As soon as I am done with school, I am leaving this horrible, cold place (well, for 6 months out of the year). This year has been really cold, must be that global warming thing Gore has been talking about.

    K Member Comparison

    Would it be safe to assume that it would be easier to either raise or lower the engine with an aftermarket k-member than with the stock k-member? This might be useful in getting to those last top middle header bolts. Why are they a pain? Is there access, but it is just difficult, or are they...

    K Member Comparison

    Would anyone with k-members already installed be willing to comment on header clearance, especially on the passenger side? Is it significantly easier to loosen/remove the passenger side header for transmission/clutch work? Also, is the starter accessible? Also, is it generally easier to access...

    That's good to hear. Not to steal the OP's thunder, but I think that is the road I will be going down when the time comes. What are the advantages and disadvantages of keeping the stock A-arms? I have heard that coil-overs can add significant NVH, so that would suggest that one would use...

    For the time being, I will have to stick with the mail order tunes and try to get them right. I do not have "authorization" to use more cash to get it tuned by the SCT dealer right now. I wonder how good it can get using the datalogging...

    Supposedly the computer went bad. The car wouldn't stay running and then wouldn't start. He said that replacing the computer fixed it. The current mods are: Full PI Swap L/T Headers MAC H-Pipe and Catback Timing Adjuster (which does nothing) U/D Pullies 4.10s Intake Plenum 70mm Throttle Body...

    PI Intake swap postmortem

    Sounds good. I hated that little water pump nipple, as well as the bolts for that coolant line to the back of the block. I am glad you got it all fixed and running. Congratulations!

    96 GT Starter removal

    Drop the K-Member :) Or do what has been said already. Two people will make it easier.

    I ordered it from American Muscle. My local tuner can tune uses SCT, so that encouraged my choice. The dynamometer tune seemed a little expensive from him though, $500 or so. The baseline run is $200 he said. I don't plan on doing that unless we cannot get the tune right using the mail-order tunes.

    For those who do not remember my situation, here it is briefly. I bought my 1996 GT in 2003, did some work on the car, left the country for two years, and then sold the car a few months after getting back. Last summer I found the car again and bought it back. After doing a PI headswap in 2003...

    Speedometer broken but odometer still works?

    I was having the same issue with my speedometer. I found a used cluster and swapped out the module that does the speedometer. My old one for some reason, started working again afterwards. But before, it exhibited the same symptoms you described above.
