    The Ride is on the Road

    Well the 96Gt hit the road today. I picked it up from its dusty storage location today and spent the rest of the afternoon scrubbing and cleaning. The car now looks great!

    My Brake Job

    :rolleyes: I just did a complete 4 wheel brake job on my 1996 GT, not because the original brake pads were worn (72,000 km mostly highway) out but because I had a lot of brake pedal pulsing. I decided to do the entire job, slotted-cross drilled rotors, metallic-kevlar pads and change the fluid...

    Replacement Intake Manifold

    A couple of weeks ago I had to have the intake Manifold replaced on my 96GT. It may be my imagination but I seem to have some more low end grunt with the Stock Ford replacement manifold. Has anyone else experienced this feeling?

    Manifold Just Gave Up

    Well it finally happened, my 96 GT puked all of it’s coolant all over my engine bay leaving me stuck at Mont Tremblant Quebec.
