    Weather Stripping/water Leak Issues

    I posted this in Sound & Shine and didn't get a single reply. Hopefully I'll have better luck here. I've got some weather stripping coming out of the driver's side window panel (the small rear window) and I'm worried about washing the car now. The first pic shows a small gap in the stripping...

    Weather Stripping/water Leak Issues

    I've got some weather stripping coming out of the driver's side window panel (the small rear window) and I'm worried about washing the car now. The first pic shows a small gap in the stripping between the back window, trunk, and body panel. The second pic shows the side stripping coming out from...

    Confused about smog pump delete

    Ok it seems people are saying two different things in the posts about deleting the smog pump. So I have two questions: 1) If I got an offroad h pipe and removed the smog pump and plugged all the lines would the check engine light come on? 2) Would doing any of this affect the functioning...

    Shifter vibration and rough engine idle

    So I just finished my AODE to t56 swap and I'm taking care of some basic maintenance now. When I first got the t56 installed the stock h pipe wouldn’t fit so I had to use an o/r h pipe for a fox body long enough to get it to an exhaust. It ran good enough with that to get ti to the exhaust shop...

    t56 install problem

    So I've spent the last week or so working on my t56 conversion and I'm almost finished. The clutch and pressure plate were installed tonight and the bellhousing is attached to the block (seperate from the transmission). However once the transmission gets lined up it stops about half an inch...

    Need some advice - Automatic to manual swap

    Ok, so I've decided to get rid of the automatic and put a manual in there. I think a few of you have done this so I wanna run my plan by the forums and ask for some suggestions and recommendations. I'm not doing the typical AODE to t5 swap. I'm gonna be installing a t56 instead. Current plan...

    Question for the 94-95 guys

    I've owned my 94 GT since 1998. I got it when I turned 16. I've been driving it since then and I love my car. I haven't ever really been able to afford to do much of anything to it before (other than maintainence) so it's still pretty much stock. I'm getting to the point, however, where I'm...

    Need advice on cleaning the engine bay

    Does anyone have any advice, tips, or suggestions on cleaning out your engine bay? Mine is pretty dirty and alot of the different parts have battery corrosion crap on them. I got careless and started splashing water around when I was removing buildup from my old battery. Cost, time and...

    Side gapping

    Ok, before the crash there was a thread here about side gapping spark plugs. I had originally intended to come relate my findings but I guess I'll have to remake the thread to do that. So I tried this tonight on my 94 GT. Took out the old Bosch Platinum +4s (yeah, yeah, I know. I got rid of...

    More regular server backups?

    This probably goes without saying now, but is there any chance server backups can be more regular in the future? That seems like an awful long time to go without making a backup copy.

    Need help with planning out mods

    I've done some searching around and haven't been able to find a whole lot of answers (thanks to all who have tried), probably because not many people have been in my situation before. I'm planning on swapping out my AODE for a manual soon (maybe near the end of this month), and I'm trying to...

    Transmission Questions

    I think later on I am going to do a h/c/i swap to hopefully make about 300HP. This will be a street car/daily driver. I also want to change over my automatic to a manual transmission. Can anyone tell me what all is involved in the transmission swap? What parts do I need? I want peoples'...

    408 engines

    I've been thinking about different engines to put in my car when I upgrade the engine. I don't know much about the 408 blocks. How much HP do they put out on average? Would they be good for a street car? Also, are there any wear issues with stroker engines? I dont want to take it out and rebuild...

    Help me decide on an engine upgrade

    I just got done with my suspension upgrade, so I won't be tackling anything in the engine until (most likely) next year. But I thought it might be advantageous to decide what I want to do now, since it may affect some of the things I do before I work on the engine. One thing I was planning on...

    Finished my suspension upgrade

    Well I finished my suspension upgrade. I lowered the car with H&R Super Sport springs, replaced all the struts/shocks with Bilsteins and installed caster/camber plates from Maximum Motorsports. Then I slapped on the new Cobra R wheels I got and I think the car looks much better, no more 4x4...

    Attn everyone with Bilstein shocks

    I am currently in the process of replacing all my shocks/struts with brand new Bilsteins. I am working on the rear shocks and I've hit a little snag. I have the old shock off and I'm attempting to install the new Bilstein shock. I am having some trouble with the nut that comes with it that...

    A/C Problem

    My a/c seemed to be working fine up to a few days ago. Then I went out one day, on a hot day, and it seemed like all of a sudden it doesnt work now. If its particularly warm out it doesnt work at all. In cooler temperatures it seems to blow cold air for a bit then blow warmer (outside temp) air...

    Upgrade Advice Needed

    I have a 1994 GT that is pretty much bone stock except for the ignition components that I have had to replace because of wear. I think I may be getting some 95 Cobra R wheels and new tires tommorow and I was thinking of a few more things I may upgrade. My first idea was to replace the mufflers...

    1995 Cobra R wheel question

    Hey, everyone. I'm looking at getting a set of the 1995 Cobra R wheels for my 94 GT. My questions is does anyone know what the standard size tire is for this wheel? Also, on some sites that have these wheels for sale I've seen an original version and a newer version that was supposed to have...
