    How do the 4.6s sound with no mufflers?

    Here's mine with L/T headers and cutouts before the X pipe. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/0b76eb7a-4ef4-4cab-bdd3-9987010a28af.htm

    Time to upgrade brakes, got question

    I did the fronts first, and the balance between the fronts and the rears just didn't feel right. Car was bucking forward too much. After putting in the matching rears, all better.

    02 GT throwing several codes, #8 fuse

    Another update. I caved in and took the car to Ford this morning. They worked on it from 7:00 am until 3:00 pm and said they were 99% sure it was the passenger side upstream O2 sensor heater that was shorting, but said they couldn't test it until the car was cold, which after a long day of...

    02 GT throwing several codes, #8 fuse

    Well, I decided to try cutting the suspect O2 sensor out again. I clipped the wires and taped them off so they wouldn't short. Last time, I gave it a few minutes to see if the fuse would blow and it never did. I did the same thing this time, and again the fuse did not blow. So, I went and...

    02 GT throwing several codes, #8 fuse

    Well, I tried to do a little more troubleshooting today. I did my best to look at all the wires going to the O2s, and everything, including the new splices, looks fine. I thought I'd try a different approach, so I installed a new fuse and fired her up. I stared at the fuse while I let the...

    02 GT throwing several codes, #8 fuse

    Well, I cut out the melted connector and spliced the wires together. Fired her up and let her run for a couple minutes, and all seemed well. Turned her off and checked the fuse and it was fine. Drove her 10 miles home, still running fine, no SES. Fired her up this morning, SES is back on...

    02 GT throwing several codes, #8 fuse

    02 GT throwing several codes, #8 fuse - UPDATED 3-7-2008 Recently, I was having issues with the car running smoothly and code P0340 came on (Camshaft Position Sensor circuit fault). After reading around on the forums, most people agreed that my alternator was going bad. I tested the battery...

    Alternator trouble? / P0340 / Good aftermarket alternator?

    So my car threw a new code yesterday: P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor circuit fault. From what I've read, this is most likely a problem with the alternator. I pulled the camshaft position sensor and checked it, and it seems to be working fine. I tested the battery voltage with the engine off...

    Strange 10 ways VS Bilsteins..

    I went from stockers to Bils (all 6) and it made a world of difference both handling and launching. (Note, my launching got worse when I only bought the rear shocks and not the axle dampners a.k.a. quad shocks.) That was back when I was using drag radials at the track. Now I use slicks and...

    Bullitt/Mach 1/ Cobra Brakes Kit

    I used the Baer EradiSpeed rotors with my Bullitt brakes. Your stock banjo bolts should be just fine. I believe the Cobra calipers are threaded differently, but the Bullitts are threaded the same as the GTs. You're going to love those brakes, though. Check out the link in my sig. I've got...

    Just installed my cams...

    One other thing you might consider from my experience... When I put my timing assembly back together one of the timing chain tensioners didn't properly seat against the block, and hence didn't pump up. It caused the timing chain guide to smack the inside of the timing chain cover making a...

    Subframe Connectors

    I just got the Global West SFC's put in. They're amazing. The guy at Dallas Mustang who installed them had never seen them before despite having installed hundreds of SFC's before. He liked them so much he said he was going to get the Global West ones for his own car instead of the various...

    What oil weight?

    First of all, I tried searching for this topic, and much to my amazement, the keyword "oil" comes up with no matches on this forum. :shrug: My 2002 Mustang GT recently passed 100,000 miles. The past 98,000 or so have been with Mobil 1 5W-20. I live in Texas. I've had no problems...

    15" wheels for slicks with Bullitt breaks?

    Thanks. That was by far the best thread I've seen about this. I've decided to go with the Weld Draglite 15x10 6.5 BS. I'm going to wait until they get here to see how they fit, and I figure I'll probably need a 1/4" spacer to get them on, and I may need to either grind down the banjo bolt a...

    15" wheels for slicks with Bullitt breaks?

    I have the Bullitt breaks on all 4 corners of my car and I'm trying to find out for sure what 15" wheels I can get that will fit over my rear breaks without grinding on the caliper. I don't mind shaving a little off the banjo bolt if I need to. I'm looking at either a 15x8" wheel or a 15x10"...

    A Good Day Today

    Well, today was a very good day. Today I ordered basically an entirely new driveline for my baby. Pretty much the only thing not being replaced is my ring & pinion (have FRPP 4.10s already) and the diff/axle housings. D&D Performance standard spec. T-56 conversion kit MGW Shifter CobraBob...

    ? for those with K&N filters

    I've have one on my car for 4 1/2 years now and I've cleaned it once. I've got the Mac CAI so the filter is in the fender where it gets very little grime. Took a peek at it the other day and it still looks clean. When I did clean it, it was easy, but did take some time. I probably spend an...

    Undrive crank pulley bolt question

    The crank bolt is an M12 x 1.5 (I forget the length....maybe 60mm). I don't know what length the Steeda starter bolt is, but I used a 70mm and it worked perfectly. That can be a tough bolt size to find, though. I called more than a dozen bolt specialty stores here in Dallas before I found one...
