    What would you do? (Long read: cooling)

    The cooling system in my '89 is tired. Very tired. Original radiator, electric fan (that just failed, causing the radiator to bubble over), old hoses, etc. I flushed the system and changed the coolant twice this past summer and it was still coming out brownish. Had the upper intake off and...

    T-5 Shifting Issues

    I figured that was the case. I'd heard good things and some bad, but being as stubborn as I am, I ignored the bad. Oops. :nonono:

    T-5 Shifting Issues

    Back in May, I pulled the tranny to do a rear main seal swap. Having never done it before, I took my sweet time with everything. She went back in and was perfectly fine. With it out, I changed the fluid and went with Royal Purple instead of the stock stuff (I got a good deal, $4 a quart at the...

    Backfire through exhaust under load...

    The KOEO codes you threw are these: 23 -- "Closed throttle TPS voltage higher or lower than expected." You need to adjust your TPS. You can look up how to do this. Not too hard. 31 -- "PFE or EVP circuit has intermittently failed below minimum voltage of 0.24 volts." Pressure Feedback EGR...

    Throttle Body Question.

    Just port match your intake and go from there. If you're running boost, bigger is better. Without it, a 90 mm TB (just an example) won't give you the performance a 75 mm unit would. The air just won't move as quickly.

    Best Intake Period...?

    I love my TF Street Heat. AFR 165's, B cam, 1.6 Crane Cam Rockers, full exhaust, 70mm TB, stock air box. It's a good combo. What are you running? What do you want to do, power wise?

    Electric fan noise.

    I need a little help guys. I think my electric fan is failing and I'm not sure where to start. It's hooked up on a temp-relay with a manual on and off. I've been leaving the relay to do it's job (got a 180 degree hooked up). When the fan activates and deactivates, there's a squeaking/scraping...

    Anyone going to NMRA this weekend?

    I'll be there all day Saturday. The car is in no condition to run the strip though (I need to work out a new fan/radiator situation first before I really beat on her). I'll be out and about and the car will be shiny and clean.

    Why God?? why??

    I agree. Looks like a T-bird front end, Fox chassis, and a used body kit off a Nissan S-13? :rlaugh:

    5.0 driveshaft removal, engine out though...any ideas?

    12 point 12mm box wrench was all I finally used. I had the car on jackstands, laid down on the garage floor, slid my body under the car and put both my feet on the box wrench end. Hold onto the tire to keep it in place (I was in gear and had the brakes engaged too) and push as hard as you can in...
