    Are these wheels light or more on the heavy side?

    Polished and clearcoated. The polished versions are also pig heavy. Ford has some insane requirements on their OEM wheels dictating an overly thick rim cross-section. Normally, those 01 forged wheels would be lighter than their cast counterparts…but alas that's not the case.

    anyone seen this intake manifold?

    I think you guys are missing the point here. He bought a 99 SVT cobra which demands more money due in a big part to it's "hand-crafted" engine. The re-sell value on that abomination is now garbage. The seller/dealer needs to make things right by either giving a refund for the depreciated...

    Stock K-Member Alignment Issue

    It wasn't wrecked, the k-member was dropped and raised to replace the engine...and wasn't re-aligned properly on the re-install.

    Stock K-Member Alignment Issue

    There are 8 bolts per side including the k-member brace bolts (4 on the brace and 4 on the actual k-member). The alignment place won't touch it...you have to take it to a frame shop around here (which I really don't want to pay for). I loosened up the trans mount before attempting to moving...

    Stock K-Member Alignment Issue

    Alright, I finally got around to this issue again. I went ahead and jacked up the car and supported the k-member with some jack stands. There are 8 bolts per side that need to be loosened. After loosening everything, I relocated the stands over to the jacking rails and pried on between the...

    Quick Turbo Intercooler ?

    Something to keep in mind when selecting an intercooler. A majority of the cooling is done within the first few inches of airflow in the cooler. What this means is, the more surface area the air contacts within those first few inches (without being a restriction) the better. This is precisely...

    294 rear wheel hp???

    Don't be a hater. They are bigger...better and faster (in some areas)...all of which should correlate to better dyno numbers.

    SCT LC-1 Innovate Help!

    It's possible...but it could create interference or noise if there is anything back-fed into the signal. If it were me...I'd just pick up the adaptor and reprogram it.

    SCT LC-1 Innovate Help!

    The stereo cable for the lc-1 carries a digital signal. According to the layout in the second link you posted, the SCT requires an analog signal. If this is the case, you simply need to use the lc-1's analog outputs rather than the 2.5mm digital jack (which is typically used only for...

    294 rear wheel hp???

    If I were in your shoes, I'd pick up an HTC EVO and run it's dyno app. You would get far better reception and 4g service (where applicable).

    3.55's or 3.73's on turbo car.

    Where is your powerband at and where do you plan on shifting? Yes, lower numerical gears will help reduce lag and will allow you to achieve a higher mph in the 1/4 before redline. This all however needs to tie into your combo. If you are shifting at 7k RPM and will only be trapping 130mph...

    Smoked Healights...Silverstars vs. HID?

    Ok, Here are some updates. The HID's are significantly brighter...but not too bright. I went ahead with the 4500k lights and they are pretty damn white compared to the stock halogens. I'm not sure what's going on with the brights, but they appear to dim when I turn them on (I got the high/low...

    Replacement Door Cup not true black

    Does anyone know if Duplicolors vinyl paint is worth a shot? I'm trying to find something local I can pick up on the way home that is a die, but am coming up empty.

    Replacement Door Cup not true black

    Hmm, well...the Stealership double checked the numbers and that is in fact the correct part. I'm wondering if they just don't make the old part anymore? Either way, considering how fragile those damn clips are on the door cups and how the gloss seems to chip off of them...I'm afraid anything...

    Replacement Door Cup not true black

    I picked up a new drivers side replacement door cup as the old on has broken clips and found it is not a true black, but more of a dark textured grey. It just doesn't look right with the blacked out interior. What is the proper way to fix this (die, paint etc.?)?

    Smoked Healights...Silverstars vs. HID?

    Well, I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the 4500k 35w hi/low HID's from DDM. If I don't like them, I can always throw them on craigslist and re-coupe most of the money back. I'll get some before/after pics and post them up.

    Smoked Healights...Silverstars vs. HID?

    From what I've seen, the DDM's are actually plug and play and have clear detailed instructions. The ballast are tiny and just get taped somewhere out of the way. Blinding drivers on the road is a concern...but I really don't think that is going to be a huge concern with these smoked lenses.
