    Should I buy a 96 GT with blown up motor???

    Not saying that the intake didn't crack but he said there is oil everywhere also. Oil dosen't flow throuigh the intake so where did it come from? If it is a good price I would get it and have fun with a new toy. Dwayne

    valve rattle

    "Valve rattle" does not exist it is detonation. Too much load at low rpm's will induse this in most cars that I have owned. Just avoid the conditions that induce this and you will be fine. Or get the tune changed to remove some timing in the bottom end. Dwayne

    Panhard bar problems

    I found the joint wore out to fast clunking all the time the ride was no better than stock and often compromised. I know the installation was right I just don't think it was a benifit on the road. The stock setup is quite good and will provide a higher level of handeling than most drivers can...

    Are Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors worth it?

    Now we are getting deep but aircraft are using carbon carbon brakes. They last much longer, operate at much higher temps and are more reliable. Many have 5 or 6 rotors much like a multi stage clutch setup and damn do they get hot. I am not a fan of slotted or drilled rotors for street cars...

    What the....

    If it is taking 1-2 mins to blow you do not have a dead short. Look at the fuse that has blown, is it melted in a gentle way ot has it exploded black n crispy? Probably just melted, if that is the case it is an overload. This would indicate the fan is drawing too much current thus blowing...

    2 Quarts of Oil?

    Still wrong. Step 4 is wrong because the running engine will splash oil and cause a false reading. Throw step 4 away and the first half of step 5 you are golden. Dwayne
