    Nope, nobody cares. JK. Taking 3rd place must have felt good. What was the prize?

    New Shoes, figured I'd show

    A little too blingin' for my taste. Not a fan of chrome, but the Razor is definitely a nice looking wheel for the S197.

    Washing the Engine Bay?

    Hey Emay, What strut tower brace is that? Looks sweet. I looked up performance metal and it's a metal polishing company.

    Wheel Size Change

    It depends on the tire size you went with. If the overall tire height is the same as stock, you should be fine.

    Radar Detectors Are Now Worthless

    Just got a ticket this morning for my window tint!!! :mad: I don't even have super dark tint on my front windows. I've got the middle darkness. Gimme a break, legal tint is completely pointless. You can't even tell the difference between a legally tinted window and a non-tinted window. I...

    Heat shield for my new HOOD!!

    Don't mean to hijack Tribal's thread, but I've got a similar question. Sometimes I get so much heat from the engine into the cabin that I swear the heater is on. I've been thinking about Dynamatting my doors and trunk area since I recently had a stereo installed. Would putting Dynamat or...

    Radar Detectors Are Now Worthless

    Cops suck!!! What a BS thing to do. He just camps out there and writes up tickets, because he knows people will be accelerating since it's a freeway entrance. Jackass. Mine was kinda the same way. He got me coming down a hill. He said I was going 46, but I'm sure I was going about 40...

    Steeda wheel spacers, anyone have any experience with them?

    I can't comment on the Steeda ones. But I had 1" Maximum Motorsports spacers on the rear wheels of my 95 and they were great. Spaced out the wheels just like I wanted and never had a problem.

    Magnaflow Axle back, terrible sound

    Sorry to hear you're having troubles. I LOVE the sound of my Magnaflow mufflers. But I agree that they are a little quiet. Unfortunately, that's just the way the S197's are. It definitely isn't as easy to get them to sound mean as the older 5.0's. I think the problem is your Dynomax...

    GT 500 Struts, Springs on a GT???

    The GT500 engine weighs about 400lbs more than the GT. The block is heavier, plus you have the blower.

    GT 500 Struts, Springs on a GT???

    Physically they will fit, but I wouldn't advise putting GT500 stuff on your GT. The GT500 weighs more, so the spring rates and shock valving is different.

    Pacfic ford Experience So Cal

    Thanks dude. I guess that means I'm not completely worthless, even though my rims suck and my car doesn't make 650 HP. :cry: But honestly, I'm not too concerned about the ravings of a guy that misspells his own screen name. Intercoled? Where in SoCal are you? I grew up in San Diego.

    Pacfic ford Experience So Cal

    Well, when you come to a Ford site screaming "Fords suck!", you're liable to get a little hostility. I'll go back to crying while I work at the Ford dealership now. I just don't know how I can look at myself in the mirror after I was so brilliantly scathed by this guy. :rolleyes:

    cabin air filter

    Sweet. Thanks for the hook up. I haven't even checked my cabin air filter, but maybe I should.

    Pacfic ford Experience So Cal

    Man, I hate it when people type the way that they talk. Sorry dude, but your post was WAY hard to comprehend. Sorry you had such an ordeal with your dealer, but it sounds like that is the problem. The problem isn't the quality with Ford cars, but the service at this particular dealership...

    No problem dude. No offense taken at all. Be sure to post pics when you get the suspension done.

    Radar Detectors Are Now Worthless

    Can you please tell me where you are getting this info? I've read numerous places that cops DO NOT have to give you this info. The cop himself is the evidence that you were speeding. The radar detector is his backup. However a ticket is ALWAYS worth fighting. It's not that you were...

    Crappy morning

    Sorry about your truck, but thanks for the laugh. I was washing my car yesterday and saw the neighbor's cat hanging out in their garage. I just eye-balled him hella hard to try to give him the mental message, "Walk on my car furball and I'll skin you alive." I hate cats.

    wife put 89 with 91 race tune

    Just fill it up the rest of the way with 91 and you should be fine. Just don't romp on it too hard until you put in a full tank of 91. 89 octane on a 91 octane tune isn't too bad if you go easy on the car.
