    If you have your rear 02's shut off in the tune you can use a rear 02 sensor port.

    Another cracked Intake!

    yeah that's service writer speak does not really tell me much.. I hate when I write a nice story about what was the cause and what was done to repair the problem and the writer when putting it into the computer turns it into something that does not explain anything or worse does not make sense.

    how much would nitto DRs help?

    I agree with you that DR's can be very unsafe for a DD.. this is why I am going to watch the weather closely when I go to the track next season since I am 100 miles away and I have to drive up on them. In fact I am thinking of keeping them at a friends house that is much closer and...

    You Know You Drive a 4.6 Mustang When...

    When a guy with a stock 15 sec 86 5.0 with rot holes everywhere makes fun of your car for being slow 4.6 and then claims his stock 86 5.0 lost only by a 1/4 of a fender to a 500HP 03 cobra :nonono:

    Another cracked Intake!

    Yeah for some reason the kit ford sells to the dealers for replacements is so much more expensive then the ford racing kit. Well at least it is fixed now.. feel free to post the tech comments on the bill if there is a description of what he did.. Sometimes the writers dumb the comments...

    how much would nitto DRs help?

    yeah i agree. To add to this if you are willing to go with a extra set of rear wheels ( I strongly suggest you do) I would go with a 15x8 on a 5.5 backspacing and get a really good set of 275 drag radials A good 15 slick or drag radial will make a world of difference and you MUST...

    how much would nitto DRs help?

    My take on the G-tech I borrowed one off of a friend a few years ago when i had my 01 and I was amazed at how accurate it was. To get accurate results you have to remember a few things. 1. the road needs to be FLAT.. I mean flat like a dragstrip, not sort of flat 2. you need to have...

    pro 5.0 shifter for tr-3650 trans 60 bucks shipped

    it is missing it's handle and the shift stops are cut out since the person who used it had the stops incorrectly adjusted and bent them. You really should not be using stops with these cars anyways but you could put stops back in it. I can take some pics of the shifter for anybody...

    use 96 intake with a 2002 motor

    No you can't use a NPI intake on a PI engine. That is a bad idea, do what I did with my aluminum cross NPI find a vic owner that just wants a aluminum crossover and get a PI intake from ford, not doorman.. From FORD

    Speedo cluster problem!

    you pinched a harness. find out what wires based on the fuse blowing and you will probably have to pull the dash back a bit and repair the pinched harness

    I think I threw a rod..

    I agree without hearing it it's almost impossible to know whats wrong. As for the it goes away in 5th gear thing.. One thing I have learned as a tech is customer explanations sometimes can be WAY WAY off.. sometimes they don't hear something that is a problem or feel something that is a...

    I think I threw a rod..

    keep us updated, Without hearing the sound myself it's impossible for me to tell what is wrong.. But I have never seen a shop diag a motor for a blown out plug.. I guess it's possible and I have worked with thieves but never seen anything that bad. But a spun bearing is more of a...
