    Anyone know how to pull out the push pin on the riders kick panel?

    Just did it a couple days ago. If you've got it partially out already, then just keep pulling. It's about an inch long.

    Speed Cal? or chip flash?

    if your car is a 5-speed, pull the computer and ship it to Tim at T&J for a reflash. It'll cost ya $75 plus shipping! Brother's Performance offers the SpeedCal for $84.99 shipped and Dallas Mustang is (or was recently on sale for) $89.00 plus shipping. The reflash method eliminates the need...

    Need Some Tire Help

    I've been told by local tire dealers that they would NOT recommend going any wider than a 255/45/17 on a 17x8 wheel. On the other hand, there are several members here that say they've done it (275/40's) with no problems. i do NOT think that these members are autocrossing their cars though with...

    tranny switch question?

    in the driver's side door jamb you'll see a white sticker with the car's details (codes) imprinted on it. The 1st way to tell is to look at the top left corner where the month/year of manufacture is listed. On the 2001 model 5-speeds made BEFORE 08/01 the car will have the T-45. Cars made on...

    ordering vortech in morning did i get a deal ?

    from what i've researched, you can have a SOLID, COMPLETE ready to bolt-in kit from T&J for a few hundred bucks more. that eliminates the chips and reflashes the car's computer with an adaptive tune. The guys at T&J have done quite a few S/C kits using the adaptive tune, no internal beefing...

    Police Interceptor Chip for 4.6L out of Crown Vic

    If it is interchangeable and it nets 5rwhp, I'd do it for $50, too! I think the :bs: flag is being thrown because of the HP claims made by the tech.

    Police Interceptor Chip for 4.6L out of Crown Vic

    I have the 2002 Crown Vic with the police interceptor package. It's mostly a suspension upgrade with a slightly stronger tune over the standard Crown Vic. The tune though is set to minimize bottom end torque...eliminating tire spin. It's strongest through the mid and top end, but maxes out at...

    Steel shavings in oil...what to do?

    While it's not my decision to make, I'd have to disagree with ya here. If the motor is bad, and/or in need of a costly repair, he'll have to pay that cost out of pocket since he's out of warranty. As a result of his inquiry into the problem, it now becomes a documented "pre-existing" problem...

    Steel shavings in oil...what to do?

    You're welcome :nice: Let us know how you make out. Hopefully your car is okay. Something else to try in addition to the magnetic drain plug is a really strong magnet stuck to the bottom of the oil drain plug (assuming you couldn't find a magnetic plug for your car). I used to do this on...

    Speedcal question

    Ok, so you didn't buy a speedcal...you bought the 23-tooth speedo gear, right? As for install, I'm not really sure. I've heard it's a simple swap, though :shrug: I'm sure someone here will know how to install it if you run into trouble. Good Luck!

    Speedcal question

    Hmmm.... I would think that whomever you ordered the speedcal from, wouldn't have sold it to you if it didn't work for your application. You are just the 1st person I've seen post w/ an Auto tranny asking about a speedcal install :shrug: I thought that the autos only required a new speedo...
