    installing 03 cobra front a-arms.

    Yes I have stock springs and they are a pain to get back in. A big pry bar and alot of pushing finally got the spring in. I believe I'll try to find some way to compress the spring on the side I havent done yet.

    installing 03 cobra front a-arms.

    Well I got the passenger side on this evening. It went pretty smooth only problems were I had to cut the ball joint nut off because it would just spin with the joint. Also I had a heck of a time getting the spring back in the car. Are there any tricks to getting the spring in any easier? I...

    Car backfires when shifting.

    If you are not running cats and still have the smog pump hooked up that is the problem. Mine would pop a little when I shifted and if I shifted hard it would be worse. I removed the smog pump and that fixed it.

    HG Help (broken bolt)

    I took my heads back off after tourqing them down. I had not started the engine though. You will be fine as long as it wasn't started.

    Smog pump info

    You can just buy a longer belt and run the AC and leave the smog pump off. I run everything except the smog and with underdrive pulleys I use a 89.5 belt.

    Steam or smoke, that is the question...

    My car does the same thing only when it's kinda cool out but goes away after the car warms up good. It started that about 30,000 miles ago so I would not worry If I was U.

    Should I get the upgraded front controll arms?

    I don't have any other suspension mods at all. Will the updated controll arms cause my front alignment to be way off. What I am saying is, will my NAPA service center be able to align my front end correctly without me getting adjustable caster and camber plates? I don't want to put the arms...

    Disappointing performance after installing 2-cat X-pipe!

    It's hard to compare the performance of a car at the track after an entire year. It's impossible to have the exact same conditions two days apart let alone a year. the only way to correctly compare the x pipe, is to put the stock pipe on and run, then switch straight to the x pipe and run the...

    FPR question and comp question

    The fuel pressure regulators are different but maby you can use the fuel rail off the fox car and then the regulator would work. Also the computer will not be just a straight plug and go. You will most likely need an adapter harness often referred to as a performance improvement harness. Or a...
