    How common is this? (FRPP Jet Hot Headers)

    I just put these on maybe 6 months ago along with a Bassani OR X Pipe, and when I was under the hood the other day, I noticed the ceramic coating is already peeling off the collector end. The flat area around the collector the ceramic is all flaked off, but still on there, but I could pull of a...

    Trying to change out clutch cable...

    ...and I'm not having much success except geting coated from head to toe in grease and grime. I have a POS BBK adjustable cable in there now, and I've spent the last hour trying to get it off the fork. I can barely see the end on the quadrant...I'm sure that will take even longer...nevermind...

    LRS "Micro-Click" Firewall Adjuster...

    I just ordered one of these to go with a new OEM Ford cable to replace a POS stretched BBK cable. When I ordered it, I thought it was the Fiore, but now I'm not too sure. Anyone used one of these? Is it a good match for a Ford OEM cable? I picked up the $35 FRPP cable/fork kit from Summit...

    Trying to put on my winter tires...summer rims are stuck to the drum in the rear.

    I'm trying to put my winter set of tires on my '92 GT (stock 16 x 7 "pony" rims with Blizzaks), but my summer rims in the rear have become one with the drums. I've tried so far... Spraying WD40 all around the rim/drum seam, and into the lug holes Letting the car drop quickly a couple of...

    Quick radiator cap question...

    I'm in the process of ordering a radiator cap for my Griffin 31 x 19, and I had a quick question. I know the stock cap is a 16lb cap, but the one I'm looking at is a 17lb unit. My question is would the extra 1psi make a difference in anything? My guess is no. This is the cap in question...

    Anyone have experience with the "reverse glow" gauge faces?

    I was cheking these out at UPR, and was thinking of picking up the reverse glow silver gauge faces for my '92 GT. I'm going to be tearing out dash soon as part of a cooling system overhaul, as well as installing a pair of 2 5/8" Autometer Ultra Lite gauges in the center A/C vent. I figure...

    Custom Ramcharger fan harness questions...

    I just picked up a RC fan for an upcoming cooling system overhaul/upgrade. It's going to be used on a Griffin 31" x 19", and I've decided I want to use a switch setup for my application. I'm aware of the excellent DCC controller, but right now I prefer to use a switch setup. I couldn't see...

    Removing TAB and TAD solenoids properly...

    In my quest for a cleaner engine bay, I've been thinking about how I could remove the TAD and TAD solenoids from the passenger side strut tower. I have completely removed the rest of the thermactor system...air pump is gone, X305's are plugged, and I'm running a Bassani O/R X. I know you can...

    Quick header gasket question...

    Installing my FRPP shorties, and I just opened up my pack of Fel-Pro 1415 gaskets. I was wondering if there is a particular side that goes to the head, or if it doesn't matter. The gasket has a blue side that has Fel-Pro and the part number stamped on it, and the other side is a dark blue with...

    Mobil 1 ATF in PS pump?

    I'm going to be finishing the A/C delete soon, and I'm going to do a little rehab work on my '92's PS pump while I'm in there. It needs new hoses, and it has normal PS fluid in there because the shop that installed my rack were morons. Anyway, I know what it calls for is "Type F" ATF, but I...

    Header removal...aluminum threads...

    I'm going to be removing old BBK headers tomorrow to install some FRPP ones, and I'm concerned the shop that put them on when they did the heads didn't use anti-sieze. The bolts in there now are the Stage 8 units without the clips/locks, and I've got GT40 X305 aluminum heads. The bolts have...

    Stainless header bolts and Aluminum heads??

    I've assembled all the pieces for my exhaust job that I am planning on doing this weekend, but now I'm a bit worried. I'm installing a Bassani OR X and a set of FRPP ceramic shorty headers, and I picked up a set of ARP 12 point stainless bolts for the headers, but now I'm hearing I will destroy...

    Need ideas for capping air tube outlet on new Bassani OR X...

    I'm going to be putting in the Bassani and FRPP shorties next weekend, and I'm looking for some ideas on how I can plug/cap the tube that is supposed to hook up to the air tube from the air pump. I've heard of using a bolt with a flared head, and also using the tube that comes with the Bassani...

    Couple of quick sensor replacement questions...

    I'm slowly doing some mods to the '92 and I'm replacing sensors as I go. My first question is regarding the O2 sensors, which I will be changing out when installing my Bassani X next weekend. I already snagged a couple of new Bosch units, but I need to pick up some anti-sieze for the O2's and...

    Does ANYONE make a one piece, stainless steel OR X Pipe?

    I just got my Bassani OR X in, and I was very disappointed to find it comes in three pieces. I went by the picture posted for their pipe that shows it being ONE PIECE, and I get three pieces and clamps. One of the main reason I wanted a one piece pipe was to not have to deal with clamps or...

    Anyone else have quality problems with FRPP ceramic headers?

    I was so excited to get my headers in today, until I got them. First off, the box was pretty damaged in a corner, but it didn't seem to hurt the headers because they were wrapped up. I was a bit surprised at how they package them. They simply wrap them up in a padding material and throw them in...

    Which O2 sensors?

    I'm going to be throwing in a Bassani OR X pipe and FRPP headers in a week or so, and I figure it's a good time to replace my O2's. The ones in there are terribly old, and I don't have any codes, but they were ungrounded for a couple years causing 41/91 codes and very rich running. I figure...

    Couple of quick header install questions...

    I just ordered a set of the FRPP ceramic shorties, and a set of ARP SS 1" long header bolts. I'm taking the POS BBK ceramic shorties that are in there now out, but I want to make sure I do things right with the aluminum heads. First, the old headers were last messed with at a shop. I'm not...

    Stainless header bolts...12 point or hex?

    I'm ordering a set of the FRPP ceramic shorties tonight, and I'm trying to decide on which ARP bolts to get. I was thinking the hex would be easier to get torque on, but the 12 points might be easier for fitting a thin socket on there. Which should I go with? Also, should I use threadlock on...

    Quick question about the Bassani OR X-Pipe...

    I'm going to be picking up one of these Bassani SS OR X-Pipe's, along with a set of FRPP Jet Hot SS shorties this week. I have been doing my research, and I came upon the best picture I've seen for the one I need...part # 50932. Anyhow, from the picture I see, I can't see any holes for the...
