    Here's the pics from my intake swap....

    I haven't had much time to drive it and haven't gotten over 35mph yet as I had to deal with it overheating at first and then I had to go straight to work, I plan to take it out this afternoon, but there is definitely a difference, esp over about 3k. The strut tower brace was from Ford Racing I...

    Intake Swap Starts Tommorow....uh-oh!!!

    its still the stock 192* I think maybe we had a loose hose sucking air into the cooling system, we fixed that and now I am going to go run it again and see if it solves the problem. My other though was that the thermo was messed up during the install. Would that throw a code on an OBD I? I...

    Intake Swap Starts Tommorow....uh-oh!!!

    Okay so the car is running now, about to take it out for a spin. I noticed that the engine/exhaust sounds kinda pulse like, which isn't what i remember it sounding like. What are the symptoms of bad timing and how can I correct it?

    HELP!!! (Trick Flow Install gone bad?)

    Yeah sorry for that confusion, the problem was the electrical connections on the top rear of the EGR plate where it attatches to the elbow, the very back was hitting the heater tubes, I realized the reason for that and fixed it, the problem now is that the EGR tube is bent in such a way that the...

    HELP!!! (Trick Flow Install gone bad?)

    The EGR will not bolt back into the TF elbow, it seems blocked by the heater hard lines, what the heck am I doing wrong. In addition when I try to put the throttle body on the whole thing is lying way to low to even hook up my old intake pipes, what the heck? I think I will go take some pics...

    Intake Swap Starts Tommorow....uh-oh!!!

    Well I just finished removing the stock lower, so I guess its just about time to get all that old gasket crap off of the intake ports and get ready to install the new stuff. Any pics of this egr thing. Everything came off no problem, and I didn't seem to really disconnect very much stuff so...

    Tires?

    I have 245/45/17 Toyo Proxes 4 I must say they are a good tire, good traction, even in the snow! But for the price...no! Buy cheap tires, like you said no need to worry about performance yet.

    How did you and how long did you have to look to find your stang?

    I had zero interest in mustangs at all when I got mine, in fact I was a bonafide ford hater. I was looking for a cheap reliable car at a dealer and called home to ask my step-dad to cosign on a '01 Chevy Malibu (I am a College Student with ZERO money) he said he'd have to call me back. About...

    How do I find a parasitic power draw?

    I suppose accesories was the wrong word, I really mean anything at all, lights, radio, courtesy lights with doors open, engine bay light, trunk light, anything will kill it. As I said, I have narrowed it down using the method you gave me to that single fuse which controls the seat and cig...

    Multifunction Switch???

    It is the MF for sure. I pulled it out today and opened it up and when I did some piece that was rather charred fell out in my lap...so something was obviously wrong. I have also lost my left turn signal as well...so I guess a new MF it is, the only problem being I can't get one ordered until...
