    Hood strut kit installed pics - dialup warning!

    They are slightly smaller in diameter than the truck struts, but I doubt the trunk ones would rub. The problem is what are you going to use to hold the strut ends? This kit comes with some stiff braces that bolt into place and distribute the wieght of the hood across the length of the brace.

    Hood strut kit installed pics - dialup warning!

    Your not touching the hood any more with this kit than when raising and lowering to use the factory prop rod. Like other said, wash your hands. The struts only hold the weight of the hood from about the half way open point, less than that and it is basicaly in free fall when you close it so no...

    05 front end on a 99-04

    You could pick up a v6 and SC or Turbo it up to Cobra power levels for about what a Cobra cost new. The 05-06 cars are starting to grow on me too, but not enough to get raped by a dealer for a GT....

    Hood strut kit installed pics - dialup warning!

    The struts used in this kit are shorter than the trunk struts used by Ford. The trunk struts are 19" pivot center to pivot center, where the hood kit uses 13" struts pivot center to pivot center.

    Hood strut kit installed pics - dialup warning!

    Installed the kit from MRT-Direct after work today. Decent kit, the only thing it is missing in my opinion is slightly longer bolts to mount the fender pieces due to spacers being under the fender clips. Great kit all around, much more room to work under the hood with this install. The struts...

    Nice hood strut kit.

    The struts do not have anything to do with the hood opening, they simply hold it up once open instead of using the prop rod.

    Modification Survey Thread

    I think you should ask questions in a new thread is what I think.... Anywho.. 2004 GT - 5 spd MGW short throw shifter. Love it, made the whole car seem different. It is as quiet as the stock shifter and much much better shift action. :nice: MGW various Billet interior pieces items...

    saleen or KB supercharger???

    I like the clean install look of the KB vs the ProChargers. I also understand that the KB starts making power sooner, someone will correct me if Im wrong there Im sure, but that is my understanding so if I decide to go forced induction it would probably be a KB also....

    Electrical problems

    You have some trouble shooting to do. I'd start by assuming the alternator is no good, take the car somewhere and have the alternator load checked, I doubt the AAA guy did anything besides check voltage with a meter which is not good enough. If it turns out the alternator is ok then you need...

    New inner dust Boot for shifter?

    I have zero noise from mine, same as the stock shifter was. I did buy the gasket from Mustangtuning instead of using the RTV because it was recommended by a guy at work who used it in his Cobra. MGW makes a great shifter, I still cant believe how it changed the whole personality of my car :nice:

    fog lights not WORKING!!! what fuses

    Check your ground connection. Unless you saw an arc or flash while wiring it's probably not a fuse.

    Floor Board Leaking!?!?!?

    If the heater core was leaking I would think the antifreeze stink would give it away. Unfortunately it sounds like your just going to have to take a nice afternoon and start pulling things out until you find the source....

    Good dealers in CT.???????????

    There's plenty to do around Haddam. Great fishing on the river, the Devil's Hopyard is a good spot for a lunch during the week (a good drive too as previously mentioned), Roger's Lake is less than 30 minutes away. Not to mention Old Saybrook is not to far away either, the shoreline is full of...

    San Antonio Texas questions

    What do you call reasonable ? Do you have any idea of what a 2 acre property with a 4 bedroom home is running in the better parts of San Antonio ? I can look online at hundreds of homes, census data, etcetera, but I was hoping for some advice from folks who live there on the best areas to live...
