    Rear seat delete...What does it entail?

    Has anyone made their own hatchback rear seat delete? I just removed my seat, and am thinking about simply buying a yard of carpeting from Home Depot and cutting it to fit. I don't need a spot on color match, it's not like my car is a show car. I just want it to look better than the insulation...

    what size torx bit to remove seat belts?

    It is a T50. I bought a T55 first and tried it out and it was way too big. Went back and got a T50. I guess you guys are right, maybe I should go to Sears and get a good one. I figure I'm only going to use it a few times so I didn't think that it mattered too much. If the Sears one is only $7...

    what size torx bit to remove seat belts?

    I saw the torx sockets at Autozone going for $5. I can spare $5 for a socket I'll be using quite a bit since I removed my rear seats and will be installing them again when needed. Thanks everyone!

    Summit radiator people, quick question!

    I was hoping to use the stock overflow bottle. I just need to know how to connect the hose from the overflow to the radiator, since the radiator has no place for it to go.

    what size torx bit to remove seat belts?

    I would do that, but I don't think I could get enough torque on an allen wrench to remove and then reinstall the seat belt bolt. I need to buy a torx socket so I can put it on a ratchet. Thanks for the suggestion though!

    what size torx bit to remove seat belts?

    Just like the title asks. I need to buy a torque bit (or whatever it's called) to remove the seat belts. Just want to know what size I need to buy. Thanks.?

    Summit radiator people, quick question!

    I have the Summit two-core aluminum radiator in 31x19. Anyway, I noticed it doesn't come with a way to connect the overflow tank to it. What did you guys do? Did you drill a hole at the top of the radiator? Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks. EDIT- Nevermind, I'm an idiot. There is a...

    HELP! My car weighs 3620 lbs. Put it on a diet!!!

    Don't expect the aluminum driveshaft to save many lbs. I think they weigh like 5lbs less than stock. They are mainly there just to save rotational mass, which is useful, but it's not gonna be noticeable on a scale. But since you need one anyway, go for it!

    HELP! My car weighs 3620 lbs. Put it on a diet!!!

    The GT ground effects pieces might be 50lbs, but the foglights and foglight supports are like 70lbs alone, or so I hear.

    HELP! My car weighs 3620 lbs. Put it on a diet!!!

    Yes I know school books weigh a lot, especially college ones (I'm also in college). They don't weigh 100lbs, unless you have a library in your car. I mentioned your mechanic being your brother to illustrate a parallel with trust, but it doesn't really matter anyway, this is getting off topic...

    HELP! My car weighs 3620 lbs. Put it on a diet!!!

    Basically I think what everyone is saying to you is that there is no way your car weighs over 3600lbs without you in it. Honestly, I don't care if your mechanic is your brother and that the scale was brand new and zeroed right before you got on it, it's impossible. Just go to another scale...

    smog pump eliminator

    You can simply remove the smog pump and then get a shorter belt. Make sure you route the belt correctly so the water pump is spinning the correct way. The smog pump eliminators are generally for supercharged applications, where you need an extra pulley there to route the belt for the SC, such as...

    Radiator

    I have that same radiator sitting in my garage waiting for my Ramcharger's electric fan for install. It does not have a trans cooler, I didn't know you had an AOD. I don't know what you will need to do. Sorry.

    Radiator

    You can go to Summit's website and order the Summit aluminum two-core Ford radiator in 31"x19". It will be a little bigger than stock, but it will fit. It also only costs $180 which is cheaper than most other radiators as well. Go here and scroll to the bottom...

    Taking awhile to start in the morning

    Lately my car has been taking an awfully long time to start up in the morning. It used to start up in a few cranks every morning, but now sometimes it takes nearly 10 seconds to finally start up. It makes my car look like a real beater. It's strange because sometimes it will start up like usual...

    Lowering question

    Okay thanks guys. Maybe I will suggest she get the Eibach Pro Kit, which only lowers the car 1.5". It's hard enough convincing her to spend money on her car, and if she finds out she'll need to spend another $200 on CC plates, there's no way she'll order the springs!

    Lowering question

    My girlfriend wants to lower her '97 GT, and I was wondering if she will need caster/camber plates to align after a 2" drop. I know when I lowerd my 92 I needed caster/camber plates, but I don't know about the newer body styles. Thanks!

    H/C/I or s/c???

    Well maybe that's why he has tons of people asking HIM to make N/A 5.0L setups and not you.
