    RTV PI Question(s) for you

    The shape of the NPI water jackets is such that the PI gasket will miss in two spots, one on each head. The RTV is needed to create the seal, else you will leak coolant, but American Muscle is WRONG about needing RTV on each intake port. In total I used two pea-sized quantities of RTV for the...

    My 1999 GT... with a snake's heart

    When I need Ford parts, I typically check Motorcraft.com for the part #, then search ebay and google for the best prices.

    BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW

    I had the original KDW design on my '97 and didn't like them (they were very loud!). I am considering the KDW2s because they seem to get much better reviews than their predecessor.

    Cars making no HP, idk what to do.

    I see you're also running Bosch plugs... they aren't the 4 prong platinum plugs are they? I don't think that would be helping your cause. You may want to try some Motorcraft AGSF-22Cs (copper, 1 heat range colder than stock) and see if that helps.

    I run my '98 at 34ish

    My 1999 GT... with a snake's heart

    I noticed the breather on the passenger side valve cover - do you have issues with oil seepage at WOT? I've heard of that being a problem when you remove the PCV system

    Att. Gear Bangers! Shift Knob Preference? Post em.

    Stock shift knob here. I tried the MGW T handle and hated it. I also had a brushed aluminum ball on my 97 and that wasn't very good either, especially in the summer.

    Handz Rear Brake Replacement + More

    Looks awesome! I also painted my rotor hats when I did my front and rear brakes, but I didn't quite paint enough so I have a small ring of rust that looks like crap. Time to redo I guess...

    Handz SN95 Downtown LA Photoshoot

    No, but I am definitely looking to get one very very soon (possible christmas present from my girlfriend). It seems the model 7424 is popular, at least according to google... is this what you use?(Here). Are you using terry or microfiber cloths on it?

    Handz SN95 Downtown LA Photoshoot

    Again, your car makes mine look like i drove it through a mine field!! I noticed I have some pretty bad swirling going on. What is your recommendation for removing them? If you don't mind, a step by step procedure so I do it correctly. Thanks man!!

    Gas gauge is stuck

    OK thank you for the suggestion. I'll see if I can get under the car this week to take those measurements. As far as the rodents go, the only place I have found nesting is in the trunk by the spare tire, so I am optimistic that they did not do much damage. FYI, if you need to copy a...

    New FR500s on the Stang!

    Yeah man, I was a bit skeptical but a few pictures on American Muscle.com really sold me on them.

    20" wheels on lowered 98 GT

    I don't think you'll find many pictures of 20" wheels on a 98 Mustang because it just doesn't look good. On top of that, the additional rotating mass will make your car a complete slug. I bet 18x10 rear and 18x9 front hypercoated Bullitt wheels would look nice and not be too flashy

    Gas gauge is stuck

    The gas gauge on my '98 has been stuck at full since I bought it back in May. I've just been living with it, assuming it was something to do with the fuel pump module which would be a pricey fix. Then something weird happened today (outlined below) 1. After replacing my coil packs on...

    New FR500s on the Stang!

    I didn't know that, thanks! If the Nittos weren't more money than the Sumis, I probably would have bought those, and maybe they would have filled out the wheel a little better. I wish AmericanMuscle carried more sizes and brands though. Anyway, I'm glad you like it! Of course, your Mach > my...

    oops!

    I forgot to move the OE strut stops over to my Bilsteins, so when I lowered the car, my struts came right through the strut tower and were pushing up on the hood.

    New FR500s on the Stang!

    I'd love to lower it, but the roads around here are pretty bad, and I have some steep driveways to get into so I'd be scraping all the time. My '97 was lowered and that thing was such a PITA to maneuver so I'm avoiding that situation for now
