    Dropping the T5 - Pull the bellhousing with the tranny or separate?

    Are you doing this on jack stands, or a lift? If on a lift do you have a tranny jack? If you are doing it on jack stands I would automatically say separate and remove that way. Even with the transmission removed it took a good foot of extensions and a swivel to get the top bellhousing bolts...

    Ignition Lock Cylinder... Problem

    I hope you guys can help me, I'm an idiot. The ears on my stock ignition lock have begun to significantly give way, so I've been searching the forum since last week discovering what I needed to purchase to fix the problem. After reading how-to's and finding out what to purchase I bought my...

    Dad's 01 v6 won't start. Just clicking at me!

    Had the car sat for a long time without being started? Check the dome light, was it left on? If this is something that hasn't happened before and you haven't changed any parts out I would venture into accidentally leaving something on that was drawing from the battery.

    Dad's 01 v6 won't start. Just clicking at me!

    Correct. A good alternator should be showing you 14-15 volts at the battery when the car is on. When the car is off, the battery should show right around 12 volts. JT, nothing you post is redundant 'sir :nice:

    Dad's 01 v6 won't start. Just clicking at me!

    What about other lights in the vehicle, dome light, or if you turn on the running lights how bright are the dash lights? How dead is the battery exactly? It isn't uncommon for an almost dead battery to have enough juice to power interior lights slightly but not enough power to actually kick over...

    Which tires? What do you run?

    +1. They perform quite well in the rain and wear well compared to other tires in the same class. I run 265's on a 9" rim up front. You could probably get away with a 275 with minor rubbing at wheel lock, but I wouldn't do anything beyond that. I have no rubbing with 265's.

    Finally got my car back!

    Good deal. I just got mine out of storage just about a week ago so I know what you mean. Getting behind the wheel after a long winter is like jumping into a new car all over again! Anyway, good luck with getting things fixed and enjoy it :nice:

    Magnaflow 3 1/2" Tips

    I'd say that it's pretty normal to have vibrations due to the exhaust, especially if the new bushings you put in are really tight around the hangers. In my opinion, 3" tips are the biggest tips that still look good on our cars. I had 2 1/2" tips for the first 2 years I owned the car and...

    Should i keep my 95 GT???

    Really it all boils down to what you want and how much you're willing to put up with. A body in great shape is harder and harder to come by as time goes on for our cars. I picked up my car with 47k on it, but the body had dents all over it and the paint wasn't in that great of shape. Now, it's...

    Can't Keep Car Started, Low/No Fuel Pressure

    So far so good. I drove it all over the place yesterday without as much as a single hiccup. I'm not brave enough to drive it to work yet (20 miles one way), but if it stays running well for another week I probably will.

    Can't Keep Car Started, Low/No Fuel Pressure

    After it dies it can take 2-5 seconds to start, but it would and then die within a couple seconds. I unwrapped the tapped trigger wire for the in-line relay. My brother scraped the coating off of the factory wire so the wire was exposed but unbroken, and then he wrapped the relay wire around...

    Can't Keep Car Started, Low/No Fuel Pressure

    I just pulled the car out of storage and have had the problem twice since she has been out, now I won't take it out until I can get it fixed. I thought at first that poor wiring was not allowing my Vortech in-line fuel pump to work, and after inspecting wires for replacement this afternoon I...

    Car is a PAIN, but I'm glad I have it back out

    For sure, and thanks guys. I went out and picked up the stuff I needed to at least re-wire the in-line fuel pump and fix some previous wire jobs that haven't held up. I still need to fix the exterior boot for the shifter/transmission, get a nut for one that rattled off at the header/h-pipe...

    Car is a PAIN, but I'm glad I have it back out

    I graduated from Michigan State University last week with my BSW (Social Work) and finally after working a 16 hour a week internship, 17 credits, and midnight shifts on Friday and Saturday nights do I have the time and ability to get the car out. When I arrived at my Dad's friend's place the...

    Pulley alignment woes with Vortech setup.

    Believe the tensioner problems guys, it happened to me too. I went to replace my factory tensioner with one from Autzone, and I also noticed that it didn't open up as far as my stock one did. I just couldn't find the right belt size, too short and I couldn't get it on the tensioner, too long and...

    zoom clutch cable

    Either the stock cable or the MM cable, which I believe is very similar to the stock cable. There were some articles about older aftermarket adjustable cables that would shred and break far more frequently than stockers, and that the best replacement was a stock one. I picked up the MM cable...

    Yes Foxbody longtubes fit on a 94-95.

    That's good information, thanks! I'll keep that in mind if I ever decide to up my header size because I have the TKO as well.
