    How much money do you have to spend? What are you specifically looking for? We can always help best in these types of threads when you give us some long term goals, what the car will be used for (you said it was your DD, will it be a track/DD, autox/DD, still just a DD? etc.), and things of...

    cross drilled/slotted rotors or stock one?

    Everyone seems to have an opinion on drilled/slotted rotors and they all differ. People will say that the drilled holes, while they are supposed to allow the rotor to cool better, only increase the chances of the rotor cracking. Others will say that if you get good enough pads you don't have...

    H-Pipe Install

    Don't let anyone here deter you from doing your own wrenching. To some of us these are really basic questions because we've torn into some more extensive parts of the car, and others of us change our exhaust like our underwear... or girlfriends. Like I just said above, try using a swivel and...

    Audio issue strange

    Strange indeed. I can't figure any electrical problem wiring into the radio that would cause that, so if I had to guess I'd say the radio itself was having internal issues. I don't know jack about the inside of radios, but if I had this problem it would be a good time to upgrade to the...

    H-Pipe Install

    Maybe an extension and a swivel? I didn't install my long tubes so I never saw the bolt position of the stock manifolds, but they can't be THAT difficult to get to.

    Another balancer bites the dust.

    Thank you for posting the pictures! I've heard about this dilemma for so long about our cars, but never really knew what to look for when people described the inner rubber coming out. My car is low mileage (56k) so things still seem pretty good down there. At least when it comes I know...

    Help?

    Well, something boost related is definitely the right idea, but the budget might be a little bit tight to do it 'right'. You could take your pick of forced fed goodness, but you have to remember the supporting mods. Fuel and air flow are the most important, and ignition is in there too...

    smoke is coming into center console

    There isn't a whole lot of wiring under the console area? You have the convertible top switch harness, the cig lighter wiring, fog light wiring, and I'm not sure what else? Above that, I don't know what wiring problem directly under there that would cause your car to stop running? Have you...

    You need to use the 03 rotors.

    Ok...how do I set my own timing? 1,2,3?

    Sometimes the exhaust stroke can give you a bit of air or pressure on your finger, so if you get things going and the car just doesn't seem to be running right, try flipping the rotor 180 degrees.

    Pulling engine for the third time.... remove the A/C this time?

    Haha, if we all had that mentality how many of our cars would still be stock?

    Cobra brake swap--use stock lines?

    I've been checking out parts and matching what lines go for what years, and it looks like you'll have no problems running the line. The 03/04 cobra aftermarket SS lines also fit the 94-98 GT lines, so grinding that block probably isn't a big deal. The SS lines are entirely optional. You...

    mods you regret doing

    I regret putting on the t-rex in line fuel pump after putting in a HP 255 in the tank. It's caused me headaches and it isn't necessary. However it is easily remedied. I regret paying darn near $1,000 for a tune. I didn't know any better when the guy told me he had to take off the TB to adjust...

    Cobra brake swap--use stock lines?

    The stainless lines are firmer than the stock rubber lines so they don't expand with pressure and heat, so they give a more solid brake pedal feel than one would normally have with the stockers. If that's what you would call more road racing then no problem, but I see it as perfectly fine for...

    what modifications would i want to stay away from

    I wouldn't stay with the stock rear gears, even with a charger. I have a vortech and 3.73s and I'm pretty happy. I can get 1st to roast if I want it to, but I can also get solid grip with little clutch slippage. I think your gear choice also depends on what type of charger. If you wanted a KB...

    what modifications would i want to stay away from

    That's a pretty broad question, do you think you can narrow down exactly what you mean by modifications you should stay away from? Everyone has an opinion on what is necessary and what isn't, but I feel that with a good engine build and a future power adder, well, you need to be more specific...
