    97 AODE to 96 T45 swap - please read

    Ok, I've got a line on a T45 from a '96 with low milage and a new king cobra clutch. I just need anyone's insights who has done this swap before. I need to know parts I'm missing from my list (below) and/or parts I've listed that aren't necessary. The person doing the swap for me has worked at a...

    thinkin about a 4.6? 96-98

    It's been debated SO many times it's sickening, but I've seen dyno comparisons and read magazine articles, and read tonnes of forum posts from people like Johnny Langton, etc (modular depot forums) and it's been proven that PI heads only net you a MAXIMUM of another 10HP over just a pi cam and...

    Loud Metalic sqeaking/Front left wheel area

    ball joints typically cause a howling sound while driving too though - right around 80KM/h (50MPH?). And this howling will be worse when weight is shifted to that side of the car by turning. If you're pulling into a parking spot (typically you're moving slow, so this is a good example) and as...

    Loud Metalic sqeaking/Front left wheel area

    sounds a lot like a tie rod to me. if it's squeaking WHILE you're turning the wheel, it's a tie rod. If you bounce the suspension up and down (by hand) and it squeaks, it's obviously a strut/shock/spring. From your explanation I'm really leaning toward a tie rod issue.

    the H or X debate

    So they'll bolt up to a stock exhaust then? I'm sure the diameter of pipe is larger, so I thought maybe that would mean some modification would be in order... Do they just bolt up from flange to flange? And a catted H/X has how many cats? 2? I can't imagine it having the stock 6...

    the H or X debate

    Can anyone tell me where a CATTED x or h pipe bolts up? From looking at pics of them, I can't tell if they're a direct bolt-on to the stock manifold and rear flange, if modifications are needed, or if they're built to fit in there only when you have headers installed....? Any help? I didn't...

    Rear End Bearings - At home job for inexperienced?

    I've had a small noise bothering me since i've had my car (for a month or so now) which I finally had diagnosed by a mechanic today. He took the car for a spin and said he's sure it's one of the bearings in the rear end, but he wont know exactly what one till he's got it all apart. He said it...

    Anyone heard of DC SPORT lowering springs for 94-98's?

    A post like what? I'm clearly not being gullable or looking to get "hosed" since I'm asking opinions and NOT giving this guy any credit yet ... If I believed everything he was telling me (ie that c/c plates wouldn't be needed), then I wouldn't have even started this thread, yanno? He does...

    Anyone heard of DC SPORT lowering springs for 94-98's?

    Someone's selling a set of DC SPORT lowering springs and it just got my attention because I thought DC only made import stuff. They're supposedly a 2" drop all around, and the guy selling them said that he didn't need c/c plates or any c/c adjustments when he put the springs on. Judging by the...

    the H or X debate

    Not to high-jack the thread, but a CATTED H starts and ends where on our exhaust (on a 97GT)? Does it eliminate a few of the rediculous amounts of catalytic converters we have on there? I've tried to search for how to install them, in order to find out where they fit in, but I'm not having much...

    Toss UP X or H
