    Slack in the steering wheel

    There's about a good 1-2 inches of slack in the steering wheel; meaning that i can move the steering wheel left and right, and it doesn't move the wheels. If i turn off the car, and lock the steering wheel, the slack is gone. Anyone have any ideas what to check for first? Thanks!

    tis on removing seats?

    I know sounds stupid, but I snapped 2 bolts taking out the passenger side seat. I'm using a 15mm socket/ratchet combo for the 2 rear bolts, and a 15mm wrench for the 2 front nuts. I tried to remove a rear bolt on the drivers side, and it didn't feel good; felt like it was going to give again.

    Eibach Prokit or Steeda Sports

    I currently have FRPP C springs with a dead coil cut off of the rear (1 coil), and it gives me a headache when the roads are bumpy. I noticed a much harsher ride when I switched to 18" wheels (tires may have something to do with it; got the cheapest sumis off of tirerack) and was wondering how...

    IRS Swap

    I have an 04 GT, and want to swap in an 01 Cobra IRS, but have a few questions. Is this a direct swap? I know that with the 03/04 IRS setups, you need to do something with the driveshaft yolks, but isn't an issue with the 99-01 setups. I read from bennybell? that you need to drill new holes...

    how do i adjust the toe?

    I hit a curb, and now my car pulls to the right like crazy. I have to keep the steering wheel turned ~15* CCW to keep her going straight. I'd get an alignment, but I'm going to be replacing the stock header studs with stage 8s, but have no clue when they're coming in. Rather make some effort...

    backspacing question

    Would a 17x9 with +40 backspacing work on a 99-04? Any clearance issues with them, or are they going to stick out beyond the fender.

    Finding a vac leak?

    How do I find a vac leak? I know you can spray propane and wait for the RPMs to change, but can I use something else besides propane? Thanks!

    hanging RPM FTL!

    After I replaced my broken TPS with an OEM unit, my rpms are slow to fall when I put it into neutral. I already have the blocking plate, and I tried reseting the ECU, and let it get up to operating temps, turned it off, then restarted her but that didn't work. Any other tricks, or do I have...

    Making the 99/01 hood functional?

    Anybody made their hood vent functional? I assume it's easy as cutting out the piece, putting some screen behind it, and viola, but if it were that easy, I'm sure I would have found some threads about it. Thanks for any help :)

    Does the location of the muffler affect sound?

    If I move my mufflers closer to the crossover, will it change the sound? I'm thinking about routing my pipes to fashion a side exhaust setup, but don't want too many bends, nor do I want to change my mufflers. So I was thinking if I move the mufflers closer to the front of the car, I can get a...
