    Should I upgrade my brakes, or just get fluid flushed and new pads?

    I'm considering that kit as well. Did you paint the rear calipers red to match? How do you find the kit for everyday, spirited driving as opposed to racing etc? FWIW I find the stock brakes on my 2003 GT vert to be pretty dammed good but I have 29k on it now and will be looking for new pads...

    check engine light on but no codes

    +1 Does the Predator display Ford specific P codes as well as the generic OBD II codes? If not, maybe he is getting a Ford specific code.

    Advice on Changing Brakes

    Gotcha! I'm thinking of doing the upgrade myself but I'm concerned if it will fit under my wheels? I have the stock 17 inch Bullitt "Special Edition GT" wheels that came with my 2003 Centennial Edition GT but the backspacing is 5.72 where a lot of wheels seem to be 6.12 back spacing...

    Advice on Changing Brakes

    I think that's the one I have. It comes in a red case and includes the adapters for just about any size system. I agree with san~man about Hawk pads. Mine ended up in the trash with 1/2 the pad still on them because of the noise and dust. Horrible pads IMHO. Not sure what is meant by...

    how do i adjust the toe?

    Personally I wouldn't screw with it because toe doesn't just change itself unless the jam nut was loose and it moved over time. You said you hit a curb and that is when it started, so obviously you have bent something because hitting a curb won't cause the tie rod to screw itself in or...

    Alignment Issues, Need Suggestions

    Yes it does, the problem is that when the techs using these machines have to think outside the box so to speak, they get lost. IOW all of these adjustmenst effect each other and on a modded car, things may or may not fit into the range that the machine is giving them. A good tech will know...

    Magnaflow Magnapacks

    I had the same problem with my Magnaflows getting real close to the sway bar. It took a little playing around but I finally got the right combination of twists, muffler position, talipipe etc and now it is fine.

    Need help quick. Relieving fuel pressure

    Put rags under it. Cover whatever you are going to press it with in rags. WEAR SAFTEY GLASSES or a face shield and some gloves. At the very least, look away when you press it. Open the gas cap first as it relieves some of the pressure. FWIW it only sprays for a second or two.

    PATS...I think

    The transceiver is located in the steering column. The wires get chaffed and will cause all kinds of problems. FWIW shorts /broken wires usually occur where there is movement, like in the steering column. You don't have a remote start do you? Remote start units if not properly installed...

    Alignment Issues, Need Suggestions

    Here is the deal.....I have had a LOT of experience with alignments, not that I've done them, but I have experienced the ineptness of the $6.25/hr drones attempting to do them. 1. Most cars are FWD and the angles are built in with the exception of toe and MAYBE, camber. Caster is a nasty...

    WTF possible pats problem?

    +10 Also.....PATS, my favorite system..... NOT!!! One thing you can do is put the cluster in diagnostic mode and read the DTC's (which are NOT STANDARD OBDII CODES) because some of them relate directly to PATS.. Go here for the procedure...

    Cruise control problem

    Can't say for Ford, but the idiots at GM wire the cruise control through the brake switch and then through the rear 3rd brake light. When the bulb burns out, the cruise control stops working... Took me a while to find that one on my Chevy even with the FSM wiring diagrams and trouble...

    MOG - I can't stand the drone anymore, help me change my exhaust

    Bingo! I have a vert, but stock H mid-pipe. I'm kinda getting used to it, mostly because I've learned to drive around it and FWIW the Magnaflows sound incredible in all ranges except the "drone zone" where it kind of sounds "ricey, only deeper" because the hummmm overpowers the sweet sound...

    Anyone have a Bullit Suspension Kit on a Convertible??

    Good thread. I have an 03 Vert and have been wondering the same thing. The FRPP catalog actually has the spring rates for various upgrades and the vert is definitely different than coupes. AFAIK, only Ebtech offers a different kit for verts, although I have read that they sag after a while...

    MOG - I can't stand the drone anymore, help me change my exhaust

    If YOU like a constant droning sound rattling your ears that's fine. I don't. There is a difference between a nice sounding exhaust and an awful drone. The Magnaflow catback sounds great at certain RPM but under load at 1850rpm-2100rpm, it drones like mad and sounds like crap both outside and...
