    We might have better beer but our gas sucks...

    Man it’s all about OCTANE and what your engine really requires. So what does that mean, in a nut shell if your engines compression is high you will as a rule of thumb require a higher Octane fuel to provide a slower burn rate and get maximum horse power. If your engine has a lower compression...

    Sylvania Silver Star bulbs

    The SilverStars are an improvement but do not make up for the real bad design in the Ford Reflectors and headlight Lens design. The light is whiter but no better focused or distributed over the road surface. In addition to my Mustang, we have 2 other cars at the house that have much improved...

    where can i get a car cover?

    My CTC cover has gromets on either side in about 3 spots. I usually just use a piece of rope on one side and secure with bungie cords on the other to secure the cover to the car. I guess you could use a cable and lock. The only problem is that locks are for honest people. If someone wants the...

    where can i get a car cover?

    Canadian Tire! I first bought the light duty cover and stored the car inside, the dust went straight through it. I later saw that CTC had the best quality on sale for $119, bought this one and have been using it for 4 years now, it works great. Not form fitting but it does the intended job...

    My Brake Job

    :rolleyes: I just did a complete 4 wheel brake job on my 1996 GT, not because the original brake pads were worn (72,000 km mostly highway) out but because I had a lot of brake pedal pulsing. I decided to do the entire job, slotted-cross drilled rotors, metallic-kevlar pads and change the fluid...

    Brake Fluid Capacity

    I am planning to changed the Brake Fluid on my 96GT this evening. I know that I should purchase DOT3 fluid but the question is what is the capacity of the system for a complete change?

    Replacement Intake Manifold

    A couple of weeks ago I had to have the intake Manifold replaced on my 96GT. It may be my imagination but I seem to have some more low end grunt with the Stock Ford replacement manifold. Has anyone else experienced this feeling?

    Manifold - Continued

    Desrosier Ford in St Jovite, Quebec did the job, that is where I was when the Manifold failed. Don't get me wrong, they have treated me just fine for a trip to the dealer and they did step up the wind shield repair no questions, it was done before I picked up the car ast Friday. I am going back...

    Manifold Just Gave Up

    Well here is Fords response to my Manifold issue. Ford issued a Service Bulletin 97M98 for the manifold. The Bulletin was good for 7 years, my 96 was 7 years old on November 2003, mileage has nothing to do with the Bulletin (my car has 67,000kms on it never seen snow). Bottom line is I am on...

    Thanks for everyones suggestions and help, I have the car back with a new FORD manifold on it, total cost, towing and taxes close to $1600. I am making what I am sure will be a wasted effort to pursue this matter with FORD CANADA. Lots of info on the web about this problem. Ford replaced all...

    Manifold Just Gave Up

    Well it finally happened, my 96 GT puked all of it’s coolant all over my engine bay leaving me stuck at Mont Tremblant Quebec.
