    oil pooling in valve cover?

    I have the same issue with the bolt closest to the front of the car on the passenger's side. If I don't wipe it up, I get about a teaspoon in 3k miles. It's most likely the rubber gromet that goes around the bolt. If you're not spewing oil, you're better off not worrying about it until you...

    Pics of stock midpipe

    So then, if I only have 4 cats (2 precats and 2 regular) then my h-pipe obviously isn't stock..?

    Pics of stock midpipe

    Anyone have any or know of any pics of the stock h-pipe on a 96gt (assuming 96-98 are same). It's supposed to have 6 cats, correct? Mine has 4 unless two of them are heat exchangers..? Just wondering what the hell my car is running..

    Synthetic advantages.

    I'm not looking at performance but more so at the treatment of my engine. It seems as though I'm starting to burn some oil (about a quart every 4k miles, roughly). Would it be considered and investment (for lack of a better word) to the longevity of my motor?

    Synthetic advantages.

    My car has about 105k miles on it and it's due for another oil change. If I were to swap over to synthetic, would I be in any advantage? I was told by one person that it wouldn't help me out at all since I have high mileage, but I thought that a high mileage car would take a liking to some extra...

    Pinging wont go away..

    About 2 months ago my car started pinging real bad under heavy acceleration. I have new plugs and wires, just gapped them all to the right spec. I have a new air filter and I cleaned the maf and temp sensor, and checked all the fittings for possible air leaks. I tried premium gas as well and no...

    How to tell if my car was geared by PO

    I have a 96 auto gt and I believe that the PO changed the gearing. If I'm on the highway and the RPMs are ~2300rpm @ 75mph, would that suggest that I've got 3.73's?

    Bent driveline!

    Then, I'll sell the car as is. I'm broke and can't afford to replace the whole rearend. I'm pretty sure I'm just going to replace the axle.

    Bent driveline!

    About 5 months ago I spun out in the rain and my rear left slid into a 3" curb, just barely clipping my wheel (which was unsalvagable). Recently I've had a high pitched chirping noise develop from the rear left that goes faster as the wheel spin faster. It's loud - inside and outside. I...

    Spilling fuel! Need some info!

    So I filled up and my tank was gushing gas out the back of the car. Of course I think the idiot gas guy overfilled, but to be safe I pushed the car away and started away from the pumps. I tried to check and make sure it came out of the overfill thing, but it was dark and too hard to tell. 3...

    Stripped lug nut bolt

    While working on my brakes I dropped the old rotor right on two studs and smashed the threads. They were unsalvagable. I (stupidly) drove around on 3 lugs (i had no freakin choice) and went and picked up 2 more at autozone for a buck a piece. To replace them, take out the two bolts that...

    Simple tranny question..

    I have an auto 96 gt. What are the stock shift points set at at wot? A buddy of mine has a 94 5.0 auto and it shifts at best at about 4.9k.. Mine shifts at about 100rpm past redline.. I'm starting to think that the previous owner had a chip or tune done to the car as it also pings horribly on...
