    Progress Thread The Arrogant Bastard ( '01 Gt )

    Are you replacing the steering rack or rebuilding? There's a company out there that I caters to rebuilding the cobra racks with the good ratio. Not sure the name but those racks are the ones to have. Rear end stuff will be fun whether your changing axle ratio of doing lower control arms and sway...

    Coolant Leak

    I did it in 2 sessions of about 2 or 3 hours. I'm a slow worker. Will need fuel line disconnect tools. Make it easier to take the rails off with the intake and swap stuff over while the intakes are off. Then plug the new loaded intake back on. Not a terrible job. Just go slow and label stuff.

    Danny's 1996 Mustang Gt 5-speed

    Welcome to Mustangs. Be warned owning and modding these cars is addictive. Glad to hear you're already having fun with it. The aftermarket is soooo extensive for these cars. If you can think it, there is a good chance someones producing it. Car looks good but missing one thing that stands...

    New Mustang Owner

    96 to 98 years are pretty much the same. Maybe some 94 and 95 stuff could work too.

    Door Locks Won't Open?

    Glad to hear it. Freaking wd40 is the best.

    Progress Thread The Arrogant Bastard ( '01 Gt )

    More often than not it will end up being the intake. Try to see into the valley of the engine beneath the intake. There's a small gap at the front of the intake where you can just barely fit your face and a small flashlight to really look down between the heads. That's where I found my leak on...

    How To Replace Driver's Power Seat With Manual

    I always wanted to ditch the hundred pounds seat track in both my new edges. Never got around to figuring it out. Did ford have a manual track for the drivers seat in these cars at all?

    First Mods For An '02 Gt?

    Springs are pretty popular. But really its your car. Make it what you want. Next time you walk outside your house would you rather see an aggressive front end or a killer stance. If you know you're going to do both maybe let your money situation guide your mod choices. Got a bunch of cash, blow...

    Attak Vs Stingers Vs Lm1 Vs Lm2

    Ataks and lm1s are teenager loud. Stingers sound great. Lm2s are kinda okay but not great. If you want quieter exhaust when cruising and loud when you mash the go pedal, get magnaflow. MagnaFlow is kinda the stately gentleman's cat back. Stingers are aggressive but not super over the top like...

    2003 Mach 1 3650 Tremec Trans.

    3650 isn't the weakest trans in the world. Certainly not the strongest either. If it isn't giving any problems,making strange noises after the mishap, your probably good. New shifters need a little break in time and time for the driver to adjust. I wouldn't recommend making a habit out of...

    Door Locks Won't Open?

    Is it that the key won't turn the cylinder or thar the key turns but didn't unlock the door? If the key won't turn, see if you can't load it up with wd40. Spray it right inside the key hole. Of the key turns then proselytizing be the aforementioned lock linkage or bushings.

    2000 Mustang Gt Swap??

    I think swapping a 4 valve would be easier but I don't know for sure. Seems like the tech of the time would speak better to the car of the same era. That being said, then coyotes are freaking impressive. In the end, I think you will spend more swapping the coyote. You could look into a custom...

    97 Cobra Running Hot

    They're is a special shirt bleeding procedure for 4 valve engines. I dint know exactly what it is but it can cause air bubbles to remain in the system and run hot if not done when filling up the coolant. Search on the procedure. It's likely the problem.

    Guess Who's Back :)

    Welcome back. Comp orange is a great color. Like the cobra bumper and R hood. You got a plan for it yet? Too bad you couldn't get those wheels. BBS wheels are sweet.
