    Help....weird sound coming from engine!

    Making the switch from conventional to synthetic oil

    I have never heard that you need to do a flush when switching over to synthetic... Every Mustang I have ever owned has been used when I bought it, and the first thing I have always done is switch over to sythetics. Dont really know if it helps that much, I have never had an engine failure...

    need help with cracked intake manifold

    I really dont think you are going to be able to get out of towing it. I mean unless you are Macgyver and have a paper clip and some saran wrap I dont see how you would be able to rig something up to safely get it home. You have an 03 Explorer so towing it shouldnt be a problem... Potential...

    Buying a 96-98 Cobra

    Well I used to own a 96 Cobra and it would overheat with the AC on. The problem was fixed by 97 with an external oil cooler and bigger radiator, not a cheap fix if it hasnt already been done... The tranny would also grind fairly frequently when shifting quickly from first to second. That was...

    Buying New Car 03 Mach vs 01 Cobra

    So I found an 03 Mach 1 with only 12,712 miles on it. Its Black on Black, Manual, and only $19,988! Mind you I only just started looking but this seems like an incredible deal. What do you guys think? The vin is 1FAFP42R53F399746 if anyone could run a car fax that would be huge.

    Found out I'm diabetic

    the98stang: Once again I am very sorry for the diagnosis, I can only imagine how scary it must be right now. Try not to focus on all the Horror Stories you will hear, people live totally normal lives with diabetes. Although diabetes is a very complex disease and I am by no means an expert I...

    Found out I'm diabetic

    Type 1 Diabetes requires insulin injections, type 2 Diabetes can be controlled with oral hyperglycemic agents like Glucophage or Glyburide. So the level at which this diagnosis is going to affect you is directly related to what type you have been diagnosed with. The fact that you are 19 years...

    Buying New Car 03 Mach vs 01 Cobra

    Well I have been pricing them out here, Mach's are 17k+, where as the 01 Cobras seem to be 16k+ so price wise it is a toss up. True enough the mach's are going to be at least two years newer... I had heard the same as metioned above that the m5 machs have a cobra crank vs the a4 cast. Is...

    Buying New Car 03 Mach vs 01 Cobra

    Any input on why the Mach over Cobra? Are they virtually the same car with the only real diference being the solid axle mach vs the IRS Cobra?

    Buying New Car 03 Mach vs 01 Cobra

    So after much debate I have decided I am going to sell my car and upgrade to 4V again... Based upon what I can afford I am either going to be getting an 03/04 Mach 1 or a 2001 Cobra. Does anyone have any input on which of the two would be a better choice? I personally am leaning towards the...

    Stock vs Stock

    Well I have owned a 96 Cobra and now I own a 00 GT. Stock for stock it would be a drivers race. You put a good driver in the cobra and the cobra would win. They are rediculously difficult to launch. I drove that car daily for almost two years and still couldnt master it. My GT feels...

    Car stalls after comp cams

    Your idle problem is Definately related to the cams... Anytime you have a high duration cam shaft you are going to have problems at idle. I believe this is because of "valve overlap". At any rate even with a tune I would imagine you will have to raise your idle rpm some... My Dad's old 55...

    Do I need a tune?

    +1 Wait... No tune yet here with my mods and everything seems to be working just fine. I actually took my car into the shop a few weeks back to see if they could find anything wrong with it, they couldnt...

    OH how i HATE STUPID PEOPLE!

    A lot of good input, but in my opinion you dont want to do anything "Back Door" I prefer to be up front and personal. If it was me I would go to his work and get in his face, I mean nose-to-nose so that you are spitting on him as you are yelling. I have a few lines that have always worked in...
