    Tire noise

    So I have a set of Kumho Ecsta Supras. I know they suck, but they've performed allright so far and they were free, so I took them. Anyway, I got them balanced a week or so after I got them and on the way home from the shop I think the weights got thrown on both driver side wheels. After that...

    Tires Opinions

    When I bought my car, the dealership forced me to also buy this "Tires for Life" deal. $299 and I get new tires every time the tread gets to 2/32. IMO this is way too low, and forces you to drive on dangerous tires for some time before you get your new ones. Anyway, my fronts were at 3/32 and...

    Why buy a cooler thermostat?

    Something I've always wondered. We all know about cold air. Colder air = denser air= more air molcules per volume = more molecules that can burn per stroke = more power. I understand wanting colder air, but why a colder engine? From high school physics I know that higher temps = more energy...

    Please help, my mileage sucks

    OK, last time I posted about gas mileage and asked a question, all I got was 15 people telling me they were getting anywhere from 22 to 35 MPG with their 4.6. That's fascinating, but I need to know how. I got 13.7 on my last two fillups, and the car seems to running great. Can anyone share...

    another thread on mileage

    Hi guys. I've read a lot of you talking on here about 20+ mpg in a GT. Am I just unlucky, or is there something wrong with my car? I get 14-15 city and 17 or 18 highway. The only thing that's not stock is the K&N. Granted, my city driving is in downtown Indianapolis, but the traffic isn't...

    Ever heard of Wiffle?

    Why doesn't anyone talk about them on here? I have some Mopar friends, my little bro included, and they all say it's far and away the best supercharger made. Engine builder quoted my bro $6K for an install and tune. Does anone have one on a 4.6? Why or why not? :shrug:

    Help me find a book

    Let's pretend I don't know anything about 4.6s. Let's pretend I don't even know what CAI or MAF or WOT stand for, and even if I did, I wouldn't know what they meant. Let's pretend I want to GRADUALLY build my GT to be a WS6 killer. And let's pretend I have unlimited financial resources. Ah...

    HELP!! Where do I get some paint?

    Hi guys. I have looked everywhere for paint that matches my car. Ford paint code is E9, Laser Red. I have been told that it is a three step color system at the factory and thus impossible to match with a one-coat paint. Does anyone know of a paint that will be as close as possible to the...

    Read any good books lately?

    I'm looking for a book that can explain everything anyone talks about on this forum (4.6 technical stuff). Like, if I ever wondered how a TB works, or how to install gears, or anything else, where could I read it? I'm not looking for a Chilton's here...I want to know the WHY as well as the...

    Putting in 4.10s

    Hello everyone. Car is a 2000 GT Vert. I think I've decided to make my very first mod a swap to 4.10s. My question is, can I do this myself or should I pay someone else? I've owned GM cars until now, and the work I have been able to do is pretty good stuff...simple stuff like brake pads...

    Help my rear end...

    haha. Anyway, the differential on my 2000 GT Vert is roaring like crazy, and the tranny was a little iffy also, so I took it to the dealer (should be under warranty). They took it all apart and told me that the spacers between the clutches in the differential are worn out, and that I have...
