    who can relate with me?

    Agreed. I have no idea why this dude felt the need to rip that one off only to install an F-1 wing.... :notnice:

    Noise when going uphill...

    Sounds like classic spark knock to me....if you're trying 93 oct and it still does it maybe you need new plugs?

    who can relate with me?

    I saw one on an otherwise beautiful, black TT Supra. I seriously wanted to get out of the car and bitchslap him....

    Spark knock diag and repair

    What is the TSB on the 99/00 valve covers? Is oil being pumped thru the PCV & into the intake? Should I think about doing this mod myself.....? I have a '00 with 34K miles. Is there any disadvantage in eliminating the PCV & going w/a small breather on the valve cover & a plug or another...

    Knock when accelerating, especially up hills.

    Sounds like top-end from what he's describing.....but I've heard belt/chain tensioners & accessory bearings make that kind of noise too....

    NEED HELP W/BACKPRESSURE

    I'm glad you like the way your car sounds....that's what it's all about, right? You make a good point about the difference between a clip and the real thing. I can't say I've heard any modified sixxers up close & personal. But from what I've read I believe the general consensus is that an H...

    Hey....speaking of fast trucks, have you guys seen the commercial for the Dodge SRT10? That thing is bad.

    NEED HELP W/BACKPRESSURE

    Actually every y-pipe dual setup soundclip I've heard sounds much less ricey than true-duals.....most likely because w/true duals you're hearing 3 cylinders per pipe & with a Y-pipe you're actually hearing all 6 out of each. From a supercharged performance standpoint I would think a good...

    NEED HELP W/BACKPRESSURE

    Supercharger :drool: I'm just gonna go with either the MAC or the FRPP y-pipe quasi-dual kit. I figure that'll free up a little on the top end without killing a noticable amount on the low end. I also want to avoid the ricey sound that I've heard on many a Magnaflow soundclip. If ever...

    Knock when accelerating, especially up hills.

    This is one of those things that's nearly impossible to diagnose thru the 'net. Could be anything from an alternator bearing to a main bearing. How many miles? Oil change intervals? Spark knock & bottom-end knock sound nothing alike, so if you can't distinguish between the two maybe...

    NEED HELP W/BACKPRESSURE

    Reading the responses from different people and actually reading all of your sigs tells me something. If you have a 98 or lower 3.8, don't expect the 99+ to act the same way when flow-thru duals are installed on an otherwise unmodified engine. 2 different animals. 150/215 vs 190/220 hp/tq...

    who can relate with me?

    Rice won't beat us. Period. Well-done imports can. Period. My buddy had a teg GS-R with much top-end work that looked bone-stock. That little 1.8 would easily walk away from any stock 99+ V6 stang and most modified 98-. That wasn't rice. That was a well-done import. Unfortunately...

    a Mustang with euros

    +1 for the Altezzas on Stangs suck crew. One mod I WOULD do if it were available would be a total LED conversion....not the cheesy LED bulbs, but led panels inside the stock housings. Picture Mustang exterior, new Caddy inside. Add the sequential to THAT....hell yeah. But I don't think...

    Some new pics of my g/f car waxed *DUW*

    PSU---- 1. I think your car looks unbelievable, INCLUDING the stock rode-height. 2. Your side-view pic is now my desktop. The rims...the duals....the Mach 1 chin....it's everything I want to do to mine. Your wax-job is unreal. Guess we'll see how that setup looks on Bright Atlantic...

    exhaust ?

    MAC is cheaper and of the same quality I think....I've heard that Flowmaster sounds really ricey. FRPP makes a direct bolt-on system too.....it's most likely what I'm going to go with. See it here.

    NEED HELP W/BACKPRESSURE

    Dude....sorry, but you're just gonna have to deal with it. I keep telling people that flow-through duals on a stock 3.8 are too much, but all I get is arguments. bhuff30 has it right.....Not only do the gases move slower due to increased exhaust volume, but they cool down way too fast as...

    head unit install

    Dude....that's where I used to keep my stash in my CL. j/k But seriously, that's what I'm talking about. Unless................ Does any aftermarket brand make a head unit with JUST a tuner? Then I could buy a stand-alone CD player and hook it up like it is now, only with better...

    head unit install

    :stupid: And lexman----what is this 'plug for the empty location' of which you speak? I'll be running into this myself when I rip every lower-than-audiovox-quality piece of Ford equipment out of my car, and definitely want something to put in place of the current stand-alone cd player. I...
