    T-5 Swap

    DONE!!! And I have to say, this car is 100% more fun to drive. But I have a few problems. One, the pedal is too tight. The clutch will slip when all the way out. Two, when you first start the car, there is a noise like the computer beeping out error codes for about one minute, then it stops. Is...

    '93 Computer Relocation

    Is that the computer under the passenger seat? I was thinking it was that or a stock amp.

    Okay, another Idea

    Well they did a spot on a car in MM&FF that had this done several years back, and they loved. And so did I when I saw it. If I did this to the GT, few people whould be laughing long because that car cranks out decent power. If I did it to the lx, it would make it an obvious rip off, since the...

    T-5 Swap

    Well, I did this. Writing (and seal) facing trans. I wish I had thought of that before installing it in the crank. Fingers crossed.

    T-5 Swap

    Okay, Pilot shaft bearing. One side has a small blue seal in it. Should this seal face the transmission, or the engine?

    Need help removing bolt....

    Not to be an ass, but what kind of leverage where you working with? The ole torque wrench can work wonders when no leverage is to be had otherwise. I'm sure you had enough, but I figured I'd offer, since this saved my ass a couple times lastnight.

    Okay, another Idea

    I'm not a fan of the yellow at all, but I love the body accents. I don't see anything rice about it :shrug: Guess we all have our opinions. If when I get the dominator, it will go on the lx hatch, and I'll keep it to myself. People can laugh all they want, it's want I think that counts to me :nice:

    Okay, another Idea

    I could do the GT up the R clone, and do this to my lx hatch. Either way I really love those mclauren mustangs, and I KNOW there's no way I am coming across a real one. I figure for 1700 why the hell not make my own.

    Okay, another Idea

    The gt can either become a cobra R, or this. is am leaning towards this. http://www.importpartsusa.com/body-kit-menu-images/ford/mustang87.html (the yellow one) I would go metallic flake cobalt blue with a high gloss clear.

    T5 Transmission fluid

    omg that is soo much easier than what I did. Lacking a pump, I always made a long hose and ran it from the engine bay to the fill hole and let the fluid drain in. Also, it usually took around 2.5 bottles to get mine full to the hole. I will be doing this too later tonight as I am pulling an auto...

    Motor rebuild

    When I rebuilt my engine, it required block decking, main bore shaving, a new head because mine was cracked (N/A, and I saw the crack in the valve seal) That doesn't sound like too bad a price for putting in pistons. I've done it, and can't say I'd want any less. it doesn't look (to me) like you...

    Stupid noise

    Jack up that wheel, and grab it firmly. Shake it left and right, then up and down. It shouldn't move at all, but if it moves left and right, that's your ball joint, if it moves up and down, it's the wheel bearings. Also pull the grease cap and check that the locknut is tight if it will infact...

    93 Steering wheel conversion question

    Well, this car isn't exactly hailing from a 'mainstream' market, so theres a good chance it did go off, and isn't replaced. Non the less, thank you for the advice, it will be followed. I do have the entire steering column from the donar car. This is south carolina, you can drive anything. As far...

    Selling 5.0 for a Jetta I think.

    An older jetta once burned out an amp I was giving this guy. It was working in my car when we unhooked it, we hooked it to his car and it did nothing. Then we hooked it to mine again and it caught fire. Becareful with stereo systems in the jetta.

    Tranny problems!! help

    Start the car, let it sit in nuetral. release the clutch. If you hear the sound now, it's the throw out bearing making contact with the fingers when it isn't supposed to. If you hear it when the cluth is depressed, it's the bearing itself. At least that is my understanding of it.

    93 Steering wheel conversion question

    I have a 93 coupe with air bags. I was told that the airbag discharged in the accident the vehicle was in. I am glad, because I don't trust them anyway. I'll take my chances with the seatbelt. I am wanting to install a earler model steering wheel in the car, which also has tilt steering. Do any...
