    Would you be interested?

    Hey guys... I don't typically post threads like this but I've been studying for 2 weeks straight and needless to say, most of my law school buddies aren't as obsessed with their cars as I am. So I need a break from all that for a few and just need to vent... As soon as I'm done with my...

    Odometer ?

    I am looking to see if I can fix a problem I have been having in reflecting the true mileage of my car. I swapped my gauge cluster when I changed my motor and sold the old cluster. I didn't have the wherewithal to take out the original odometer chip and the new cluster came with a chip that...

    Ball Joint Spacers really necessary?

    I was wondering if the spacers that come with the Steeda X2 ball joints are really necessary? I have H&R supersports on (with the isolators) already and will be putting the entire bumpsteer kit on with the ball joints. Can I leave these spacers out? Will it have any effect on the drivability...

    Mileage chip Q?

    If I take the mileage chip off of my old instrument cluster and put it onto my new cluster, will the old one still be functional (say if it had another chip or the original was replaced? The electronic connection looks like it would be clean, but it is attached to the original board with...

    2v --> 4v Swap...Done!

    My mechanic finally figured out all of the bugs and got the engine started. I picked it up an hour ago and what a difference!!! I did the 4v swap in my 99 GT, but added a few small goodies...I obviously the XCal to take off the PATS...put 4.10 gears in, with the pulleys and the air intake...

    Swapped the 2v for a 4v but engine won't start

    My mechanic put everything together and tried to start the car but it didn't start. Everything has been done to according to specs, but we are obviously missing something. It is a 99 5-speed GT --> Cobra. Does anyone have any suggestions? Here are the things that can be eliminated: -The...

    Computer Q?

    I am in the middle of having a cobra motor installed in my GT and everything seems to be ok...although I don't have a computer for it. The engine was supposed to come with the ECU and didn't. But is it even necessary? Can the GT one be re-programmed?

    A straight forward engine swap Q?

    Ok so it might be redundant, but I need to get some cut and dry information. My 99 GT motor is pretty much done for...and I would like to swap it with a 99ish cobra motor. I have around 5K to use here and have been planning to do it this way. What kind of issues/complications am I going to...

    Missing the way it used to sound (down with the police!)

    I got the converters welded-in thanks to a repair order. crapola It just doesnt sound the same and it is honestly depressing. I don't know whether I just got used to the way it was or what, but now its like I can't even hear it. So what can I do now?? Will straight-piping the mufflers...

    oxygen sensor hole dimensions??

    My back left O2 sensor was damaged and I had to remove it. I was looking to plug it up until my new sensor arrives but need the thread size, etc of the hole so I can screw a bolt in. Its a bassani x-pipe, but since the oem o2 sensor fits, it should be the same thread size, etc. Does anyone...

    Is the center console interchangable?

    Would a different center console, say from a 2002 GT, fit into a 99 GT? I need to replace mine and like the boot on the e-brake, as well as the cup-holders being slightly further back (away from the shifter). But before I start looking, I wanted to see if I had any flexability in my search...

    For that empty void...

    I was thinking about ways to put gauges into the empty space where the stock CD player used to be. Does anyone think that the Auto-Meter Gauge cage for the 87-93 stangs will fit in that space? I am willing to make some modifications (on the cage, not the dash), but I don't want to go overboard...

    A hopefully simple brake issue

    I just replaced the pads today and everything went smoothly, as usual. I noticed that I dropped a caliper bolt somewhere and so my right calpier was being held on by only one bolt (yikes). It didn't move or anything and I only noticed it when I went to replace the pads on that side. So I went...
