    Help! Relocated Battery - Now Car Won't Start

    Make sure you plugged the solenoid wire back on. It's the small wire beside the power cable.

    broke exhaust manifold stud and car runs bad?

    The reason it's running bad is because it is sucking air in the leak between pulses. The front 02 sensor senses it as a lean condition and the ECM trys to correct a condition that is not present. It's probably creating a rich fuel mixture on that bank.

    Cobra/Mach/Bullitt brake owners, beware

    I do see what you are saying. If the round spring clips came off the pads it could let the calipers float up. This is the first I've ever heard of it happening. The actual braking forces are applied to the caliper bracket at the pad ears. The spring clips just locate the calipers to the pads...

    EGR fitting thread size

    Might be safer to cap the fitting in the manifold instead of trying to remove it. Not sure what size it is but that would be a flare cap nut like this. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/2P173 You can buy these individually at Lowes for a lot less.

    Cobra/Mach/Bullitt brake owners, beware

    Whatever happened to your brakes was a fluke. I've slammed mine on bringing the car from 135+ to 60 lap after lap and never had one break. Had my cooling ducts come off and caused the pads to wear out prematurely but they didn't break. These were brand new pads that only lasted six 25 minute...

    Cutting Springs (Gasp!!!)

    Nothing wrong with cutting springs if you are just going for the look. Cutting them actually increases the spring rate some also. I put C springs in mine years back and still had to cut 1 coil off the rears. The instruction sheet that came with the FRPP springs even told where and how much to...

    Which lugnuts?

    I have these from Discount Tire. Looks like you have to call to order. 1/2-20 is the correct size. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/brochure/accessories/tmpAccessoriesWheels.jsp They have a spline drive and come with a socket that fits them. Go in small wheel holes and are very durable.

    Spring Isolators

    Get a cutoff wheel and cut one coil off the springs. I removed the shield from my 4 1/2" ginder and mounted a cutoff wheel on it.

    Replacing traction-lok clutches

    I use my 99 GT for autocross and open tracking road courses. I use 315/35/17 Kumho V710's all the way around. I launch it pretty hard but not like a drag racer with constant burnouts and stuff. The stock diff is plenty strong enough for a mildly modded car. I replaced the diff clutches around...

    Any one have exper on this kit Mustang Handling ?

    The swaybars in that kit are actually smaller than GT bars. I think the shocks and struts are Tokico and same as the blue non adjustables. Not a bad price and it can be bought for less but most folks end up putting the GT swaybars back on. I went with C springs and cut one coil off the rear...

    Power steering leaks all fluid once a month

    I didn't say you should replace the hydroboost! I said mine leaked at the hydroboost. Mine leaked right around the nitrogen accumulator. Check and see where your system is leaking BEFORE you start buying parts. I was just suggesting a place to look.

    Power steering leaks all fluid once a month

    My hydroboost leaked for a while but never enough for the level to go down much. Replaced it with a used unit and no more problems.

    Worse gas mileage with restrictor plate?

    Mine screwed up once and I removed it and cleaned it with Gummout carb cleaner. They also stick shut sometimes and cause the car to die at idle. You can free it up with a tap but gum is what causes that too.

    2000 GT motor noisy in the mornings for brief period.

    My 99 does this too but his discription is different than ours. Our cars have timing chain/guide wear. Dunno what his problem is but if I were him I would change the oil and filter and see if it goes away. Use only the Motorcraft filters and I use the Motorcraft synthetic blend motor oil also.
