    Electric fan switch mod

    Has anyone installed a switch to turn on the electric fan? The previous owner of mine installed one, but it quit working before he sold it to me. I'm trying to remove it and there's one wire that I'm not sure if it's aftermarket or a factory wire. If anyone has a link to a writeup, Id...

    Where to buy COP valve covers?

    Is there a source for these at a decent price? I just want to clean up the engine bay some, but I can't find them for what I'm willing to pay.

    Braided fuel line questions

    The guy I bought my car from put braided fuel lines on it, but he said they probably need to be replaced. Do braided fuel lines wear out? If so, is there a direct replacement that I can buy, or do I have to buy the fittings and hoses and piece everthing together myself? Would regular fuel...

    SCT Xcal 2 question

    I've got a VIN locked Xcal 2 that I only use as a code reader. When I had the car that it programmed, I never datalogged with it, but it said it could. Can it datalog any car or just the one it's locked to?

    18x9's rubbing in the front

    My 98 Cobra came with 18x9 Roush wheels with 265 tires on them. When I turn left or right as far as I can, it rubs just as the steering wheel stops. I crawled under the car and saw that it hits the sway bar. Are there adjustable steering stops on these cars? It has MM coil overs and...

    Took some of the plastic strips off of the sides

    It was cold outside and took 4 hours, but it already looks better. I only did the four small ones on the fenders, I'll get the doors when I get a chance. The only bad part is I can see a ghost of the outline if I get right up to it. Anyway to fix that other than a repaint?

    Finally bought a Cobra, now some questions

    I bought a 98 Cobra with an S-Trim and a mixture of MM and Kenny Brown suspension and chassis parts. It's quick and it's fun to drive. How much oil does this thing take? The owner said the Vortech uses the engine oil, so do I need to add more when I do an oil change? What plugs do I...

    High Beams won't stay on

    When I pull the stalk halfway back, the high beams and the blue light both come on. When I pull the stalk all the way back, they both shut off and when I release it, they flash back on as they pass through the halfway point, but then shut back off. I can flash my high beams, but not keep them...

    ET Streets on 17" wheels

    I noticed MT makes an ET Street in a 17" now. It says the minimum wheel width they will fit is 8.5, but would it cause any harm to run them on my stock 17x8's? Better yet, does anyone make a 17x9 or 10 Bulliit in the light silver color to match my front wheels?

    OEM leather seats

    The only option that mine didn't come with that I miss from the 03 is the leather seats. I see at a lot of websites that I can buy the OEM seat covers for pretty cheap. Is this something the average person can do in their driveway?

    Just a programmer?

    I'm not ready to drop the money for a CAI and programmer, so would it be worthwhile to order just an XCal by itself? I've got a standard transmission and for my 03 GT 5 speed a programmer didn't do much, so I never got one.

    Found the clunk from the rear!

    My car is lowered using Ford C springs. I installed them last December and it started making a terrible noise from the rear about 4 months ago. I had taken everything out of the trunk and it still made the noise. It sounded like it was coming from the right rear, so I checked in that area...

    popping or creaking as I accelerate?

    This is for a 2003 GT M5. When I am in first or second at real low rpms and start to pull away, I hear the rear end make a few popping or creaking sounds. It only does it as I take off, anyone know what that could be? It just started earlier this week. I also have a clunk that sounds like...

    I got an SLP Mustang brochure in the mail and they now offer what looks to be a chambered cat-back.

    Shaved antenna?

    If I were to get my antenna shaved, how would I still get radio reception? Has anyone found a way to make it like the C5 where it's hidden or put an electric one on the back of the car? Mines getting painted tomorrow and I may have them do this too.

    Stripped lug key

    Skip this paragraph if you want. I stripped a lug nut key about a month ago and bought a new one. It said $23, but I've got a friend there and it cost me $9. I cut my 2 driver's side tires over the summer, so I replaced them with Kumho's. The stock Goodyears are a thousand times better in...

    Peeling clear coat?

    Around my hood scoop on the sides and on the driver's side above the side scoop my clear coat is chipping off of the car. I assume that it is warranty work. Will they repaint those portions of the car, or how do they repair it?

    Throwing Code: 5284 Oil Pressure Switch Failure

    I was looking at around at different codes and decided to check my car. It said DTC 5284 I looked it up and it said that 5284 is an Oil Pressure Switch Failure. My gauge looks fine, but it is a dummy gauge, so should I do anything about it?

    Sway bar disconnects?

    I'm also a Jeeper and disconnecting the sway bar while off-road greatly helps suspension travel. To make it easy, there's many companies that make sway bar disconnects. You pull a pin on link, move the sway bar out of the way, and off you go. I have Tera-flex disco's. Does anyone make these...
