    Mustang5L5’s progress thread - Rear window fun

    That's what i had for almost 2 weeks in CA. Base Corolla. Couldn't complain much since it was for work. Not a bad suggestion, but I think i'll prob have intermittent use of it for the next week or so. My wife needs her car and if it's a rainy day I'm not taking the convertible to work.

    Lack of power on acceleration

    ECU codes and I would datalog MAF flow as well as fuel pressure. ALso, there are misfire counter PID's that you can monitor that will register a count when you get to one of those hiccups.

    Cobra Brake Conversion - Spare Wheel/Tire Search

    I managed to find a decent Cobra 17" spare for my '00 GT with cobra brakes. On my '88, I was originally planning on running ATS brembos. The cobra spare obviously will not fit that. I later found out my C5 PBR's will not clear the cobra spare either, so I needed another solution. I stole...

    On another note. Explorer ST got rear ended by someone on the phone earlier this summer. Finally home long enough to drop it off at the body shop. Apparently the others guys insurance company considered a base Escape Active with the 3-cylinder engine to be an equivalent rental. :mad: It’s...

    Defrost definitely was an option. I'd imagine southern cars didn't come with it as much. TBH I do not need it at all, but it's just one of those things where if the car had it, i want it functional. I'm also a bit of a "snob" in the sense that if a car has an available option, i'll try and...

    Mustang5L5’s progress thread - Rear window fun

    I’m seeing cars I haven’t seen in years. Lots of older F150s, and tons of cool 80s era vans and trucks and other stuff. Final night and I get to go home. My rental is some lame corolla the last 2 weeks and I just hate it.

    Suspension Quad shocks

    It’s what MM recommended to me. They aren’t original they are new, along with new axle bushings. All low mileage stuff. In fact there have been two different sets of them each at this point. At this point I’ll live with the quads and just pull them when I finally install a torque arm.

    Suspension Quad shocks

    I had to put them back on mine. MM lowers, new OE style uppers, bilstiens, PHB, still had the hippity hop. Checked pinion angle. Just put them back and problem solved.

    Oh boy!

    She lists Massachusetts as one of the states, but I don't see it. MA has a rolling 15 year exemption on emissions. Anything older than 15 years just doesn't get it...even the plug in OBD2 cars. As for costs to register and such, the older the vehicle, the cheaper it is generally. My '88 and...

    Fox Rear Seat Belts - 87-89 vs 90-93 length

    The 90-93 buckles are shorter than 87-89, but they also bolt into a completely different area of the trans tunnel. The older buckles (79-89) kinda bolt in more towards the rear and come over the seat cushion. The 90-93 buckles bolt to the trans hump and come through the seat cushion...

    Brake pad and rotor upgrade

    Try the check valve first. Pull it and test and make sure it's still working as a one-way valve. You might be working off straight vacuum which is why it gets hard after a long pull if you haven't even touched the pedal. The check valve should keep a reserve in the booster for 1 or 2 presses.

    Cooling Jacket Pitting Idea's?

    I've JB welded repaired similar pitting. Plug the port, apply the JB weld and stand by as it cures. Eventually it reached a point where it's very easy to sand it down. I'd do that with a vac handy, and then let it fully cure. Some cleanup and seal. Both repairs of i've have held fine for...

    2000 GT-Front Brakes Not Releasing

    Like said, the front calipers on the 99-04 GT/V6 are notorious for seizing. It's a VERY common issue, especially on cars that are seldom driven, and on brake fluid that likely hasn't been changed for a while. Caliper replacement is needed. Just be mindful that a reman caliper may have the...

    Engine vacuum

    WOT or high load hits where vacuum drops is where you might have issues. You might find depending on your settings that the vacuum blend doors will move under load due to not having the vacuum ball in place, but when you lift they should go back to where they were. How much you notice this...

    Brake pad and rotor upgrade

    I agree. A pedal going hard with hard stopping points to a mechanical issue. Perhaps booster issue? I would not go drilled rotors. You really don't want to reduce mass on these rotors because of the design of combining the hub/rotor into one. Good solid blank rotors and look into...
