    Best Coil Packs For The Money?

    What cylinder was the antifreeze in? That back heater hose port on the intake manifold can be pesky too.

    Lowering Springs Problem

    Do you have a pic we can see? What Springs did you used to lower it with? Also make sure both of the rear Springs pig tails face to drivers side and are positioned to the back of the car.

    Ran Out Of Talent.....

    Amicable payout being the key words. Most of my family is in the insurance business so I have been well informed over the years. Most Insurance companies will just give you actual cash value which is gonna be blue on whatever condition grade they think is right for them. SO if there is a lien...

    Laid Some Racing Stripes For A Customer

    Well I didn't say I hated it. The IRS is a good thing and was needed but I would not buy it based on that fact alone. It also looks long and bulky. When it comes the Mustang everyone has their tastes. My main issue is with the front end and honestly I think it's going to end up like the 94-98 MY...

    Ran Out Of Talent.....

    What they are saying is very true. I daily drove my old 87' for 10 years and while I loved the car the SN95 and New Edge Mustangs are FAR more comfortable to drive. A/C is very important to me in the summer and even though I converted it to 134a by spending the money to do it right it never...

    Stripes look great. I'm still on the fence about the new Mustang though....

    New Mustang Owner! 03 Gt

    Looks like a clean GT! Hard to come by decent ones these days, at least around my area and for a decent price. As far as the horn deal I have never seen that happen before. Shouldnt be too hard to figure out though. Everyone else has already given you good advice on the idle hanging so I will...

    Ran Out Of Talent.....

    Yea, it doesn't look at bad as I thought it would from your description. I have done several core supports out of my shop for the fox mustangs but these cars are just about the same. Are you planning on doing the work yourself. You can buy a core support, fender and fender aprons from late...

    Finally Lowered My Mustang

    When I started the spring install I noticed the ball joint boots were torn pretty bad on both. I had not had any issues when driving it but I'm pretty anal about keeping things fresh so I replaced everything from the control arm bushings and ball joints to the sway bar bushings and end links. I...

    Help W/ Hesitation Under Hard Acceleration

    I would check for codes anyway. Just because the service engine soon light is not on does not mean there isn't something stored. If no codes start from the basics and check fuel pressure with a mechanical Guage and verify it is within spec then go from from there.

    Finally Lowered My Mustang

    Looks great. What size wheels are those? Caster camber plates? I'm in the process of lowering my 00' too. Same springs you used, a set of 18" Cobra R wheels that I picked up. Only difference is I replaced the ball joints, control arm bushings, sway bar bushings.

    Engine 2001 Gt 4.6 Idle Rough And Will Not Stay Running

    Any codes? A car running that bad should have something to say.

    00' Gt Front Sway Bar Size

    Much appreciated! And thanks for the list, I will add it to my favorites for future reference. Wish I knew why the auto parts store had more than one size. Must be they don't feel like separating them by engine code.

    00' Gt Front Sway Bar Size

    Guy's, I'm about to install a new set of wheels and tires and lower the car at the same time and I need to replace the front sway bar bushings. The upper mount bushings are shot but the end-links look good but I am going to do it all. I went to the auto parts store to just get a set of OEM...

    2003 Convertible Gt Needs Alternator, ???amps?

    That's right. 105-110 is all you get stock and the 4v cars didn't get much better. If you want a higher rated one try PA Performance Web site. I bought a 130 amp conversion kit for my old 87' GT from them many years ago and they sell quality stuff.

    Fuel Excessive Fuel Pressure 98 Mustang Gt

    Burns isn't the 98 a kinda bastard year when it comes to the 98'? If it's a two speed pump does the PCM control it for fuel delivery? Unless some past owner decided to change the fuel rail maybe after an intake manifold replacment it seems like the lines and all should be OK. If you have...

    Timing Kit

    I should have not been lazy and posted the part number for him.. Per my summit racing catalog the standard kit is TFS-51800519 and the adjustable is TFS-51800520 for the adjustable. He can also by the parts separately. Napa is a good choice too but I think when I checked at the time they...

    Quarter Million...

    Nice. How does the engine run and perform at this level? Should be good? My 2000 just turned over to 118k I noticed when I changed the oil yesterday evening. Also are those Mach 1 gauges? I like them. Curious where you got them.
