    anyone else with throw-out bearing problems?

    OK, but this noise you can hear pretty good, I mean someone standing outside the car would probably hear it, and it does it from the time you abrely put ANY pressure on the pedal, even setting my foot on the pedal makes it start, minute I take my foot off, it stops???? So youre saying it might...

    anyone else with throw-out bearing problems?

    interesting... I've got a fairly quiet noise than sort of sounds like a power steering pump growling, but only when I push in the clutch, minute I take the clutch our, it stops... I was thinking TOB... anyone else with a noise like that? or always a whine?

    another stage vt stage 2 cam video

    gotcha. ok, springs, so that's a pretty expensive upgrade for the VT's then, how's it feel driving, does it seem to rev quicker? I'll be installing my own cams when the time comes, just thought I'd get a heads up on what to prepare for!

    4.10 Gear videos in daily driving

    Once again thanks for the awesome vids, I'm installing FRPP 4.10's (already on order) thanks to your cids helping the decision along. I agree, that with the 4.10's the rpm will be slightly higher, enough to get away from the 2100rpm drone area... I just put 1-chamber flowmasters on my car...

    another stage vt stage 2 cam video

    you absolutely RULE!!!!! :nice: I have been investigating cams for the purpose of making my car have an agressive idle, rather than the stock smooth idle. and the VT Stage II is exactly what I've been considering. Your video is a HUGE help in making this decision. I have a few...

    Installed 1-chamber flowmaster's

    That makes some sense, it could break in, I've only got about 150 miles on these mufflers right now, just driving around town. I'm trying to get the time to make a video. Perhaps after they have 500 miles or so, they might be louder?

    4:10 gear tech & speed cal.

    Hi, I do all my own work, so I son't know for sure how much a shop would charge to install the gears... but I've been told around $250-$300. From what I understand, the FRPP gears are made by Ford and cut the same way as the stock ones, so 99% of the time you don't have to mess with the...

    Installed 1-chamber flowmaster's

    you mean extremely loud having both, the one chambers and the O/R pipe...? so, define EXTREMELY loud? like it'll actually sound good at idle and it will sound mean, or like it'll wake up the entire city block? I definitely want it louder than it is... just can't upset the wife TOO much...

    Installed 1-chamber flowmaster's

    Installed the one chamber flowmasters a few days ago, and am quite disappointed. I was hoping for/expecting loud and powerful sounding. It does sound healthy, and pretty deep. BUT... it's not loud, it's not a whole lot louder than the car was stock! It's my belief that the herd of...

    Downshifting

    everyone mentions shorter clutch life, but noone mentions LONGER brake life!!!! saves on brakes a lot by doing that! depends on if you drive a lot of hills and so forth, but it's been proven brakes on a stick car last longer than on an automatic car!

    Cam suggestions needed...

    since we're on the subject of cams :D I'm after a radical idle sound for my car, some people have suggested ideas, but does anyone have like a part# of a cam set that would sound good at idle for the 4.6? I want it to sound like an older musclecar

    Functional Roll-Bar

    Hey Ya'all, I'm wanting a light bar for my vert, but I was wonderinf if there's a such thing as a functional roll-bar for this car that wouldnt look silly, a traditional 4-point bar would look dumb on a vert with the top down, but some kind of single bar???? I can do welding/fabricating, so not...

    Custom Steering Wheel?

    Hey y'all I was wanting this Grant GT steering wheel I saw at Summit, but I realized that in the stock steering wheel, is the airbag and cruise control buttons. I don't care about removing the airbag, that's fine with me, but what about the cruise control, can those be relocated to somewhere...

    Vert questions?

    I've got a '97 GT Vert and love it, I would have nevr thought I would like it, but I actually love it. It does make some more road noise than usual, there's less insulation over your head, but all in all it's worth it. we have cold winters here, and that's not even really a problem, just...
