    California Emissions Question - If I move, get 2.2 KB, then move back

    My KB for the 5.0L was smog legal, but the only way the smog shop knew was because the KB had a CARB sticker on it.. now what would the smog shop say if you were able to put that same CARB sticker on the 2.2L? :D

    anyone ever cut their springs?

    Yes, 1 coil cut* (not with heat-use a dremel) typically equals 1 inch. Be ready to get knocked around riding that low though!

    Help me pimp my ride!!! please

    $3000 a month to blow, and you want more power. Rid yourself of the Gt, and get yourself a 03/04 Cobra. Don't walk, RUN! :D

    cobra or keep s281sc?

    You've found 03/04 Cobra's for under 25k? :scratch: I'd have one already if I could find one in my area for that price. As long as the Cobra won't take you out of a comfortable financial situation, go for it. I wouldn't put the Saleen kit on the Cobra though - they look perfect right out of the...

    Seafoam is teh *****!

    After reading all the fuss about seafoam here, I went out yesterday and bought a bottle. For those of you having a difficult time finding a place to pour this stuff, take a look at your upper intake (plenum). Facing the plenum, there is a hose coming off on the bottom right corner that attaches...

    Lighted Cruise control buttons.

    Good idea. :nice: It may be possible if you yanked your steering wheel off and replaced all the cruise control circuit/button/etc with the Explorer, although I've never compared the two so who knows if their compatible with one another. I'd be surprised if anyone here has tried this, so I...

    front end not even

    My car sat a little uneven after my spring install. Give it a week or so.. that's how long it took for my car to level. While my ride height is not perfect now (good luck with that!), it's very close and only noticeable with a tapemeasure. If your car still isn't close to level after a week...

    Car sizzles when I shut it off...

    I love these kind of posts. :D It reminds me of just how many different sounds my car makes. I have squeeks over some bumps, the occasional sizzle when i close the door, a particular squeek when i turn right after backing up in the morning, and a rare air conditioning related "pssssssht" sound...

    4.10's any problems w/long drives?

    I was a little fearful 4.10's would make my car a toy, and take away from the daily driver routine I bought it for.. but after having them for over a year now, I would recommend them to anyone who cares about acceleration. Driving for hours on the freeway is no problem, though I do drive a...

    Squeaky Squeaky (ball joints)

    Might as well get the X2's if your going to lower it. Hope your able to get a decent quote for the install though - the best I found was around $300. I'd rather replace the whole control arm for that price.

    I hear Novi2000's will eat KB's???

    Yeah, no kidding. I hate seeing this kind of cr@p talking on stangnet. As far as supers go, there really isn't a losing species. The market for these things is vast enough to appease anyone with the right stuff in their pocket. :nice:

    4.10's In An Auto "Video"!!

    How many of us are using our 4.10 geared cars as daily drivers? *I do* On occasion, I wish I had a slightly lower ration out back.. first gear is a bit short, and sometimes I wish I had a 6th gear, but overall 4.10's really do bring the 4.6L to life; this truth has been spoken over and over...

    180 Degree Thermostat Question

    :stupid: I believe the stock setting for the fans is 220*. A 180 t-stat with the fans coming on around 200* works well for me.

    Headlight units "peeling"???

    My lights flaked too. You can buff them out to make them look better, but the flaking won't stop. I slapped some new lights in, and I'm hoping using wax this time around will buy me more life out of this set.

    cobra instrument cluster into a gt?

    You don't have to calibrate anything. What you do need is to have the PATS and mileage programmed into the new cluster.. or you could also forget those steps and swap your GT circuit board into the Cobra cluster (assuming it's a 99-01 cluster) and accept the 10mph difference.

    Painting H-pipe?????????

    I used engine enamel on my off road h pipe (when I had one) and the paint only stayed intact in a few areas. The paint I used was rated at 500 degrees though - there are higher temp versions that should hang on longer.

    Mach 1 Owners: How do you keep the shift knob from burning your hand in the summer?

    I use an all-aluminum version of the mach 1 shift ball (i hear the bottom piece of the true mach 1 ball is plastic), and even on hot summer days in direct sunlight, the ball never gets too hot to handle. :shrug:

    Does this quote sound right to you?!

    I agree, but I had no idea ball joints were that expensive to install, especially when I'm providing the parts. At the rate of $70 per hour, I'm being charged for 4hrs of work; it seems ridiculous, and I'm not even sure the ball joints are my issue. :(

    Does this quote sound right to you?!

    I have a creak in my steering, specifically when I back up, and start moving forward turning to the right. After that initial sound, it never happens again until I let the car cool off. I suspect its my ball joints, and I've been quoted $300 for the install by 3 different shops in my area -...

    00' - 01' Mach stereo swap - Is it possible?

    Is it possible to change out the stock Mach 460 radio and cd player for the 01 model 6 disc changer? Obviously I'd have to change out the console too, but would this work?
