    Bullitt bullitt?!

    The Bullitt was only 5HP more. I know it's not much, but there were other differences that separated it from a GT. Like the Tokico Shock & Springs, The Cobra style seats, & Brakes. Frame Rail Connectors, Mildly underdriven Pullies & don't forget the intake. The Changes were few but are...

    When braking, the car shaking...

    I have the same problem with my '97 Cougar. I've had the brakes (Rotors & Calipers on all wheels) replaced in the Past & it didn't solve the problem. I've had the Alignment and balancing done , the tie rods & Wheel bearings replaced & I still have the vibration. Now I've had the car like this...

    Intake Manifold Replacement on My '97 Cougar

    Thanks for the Tip TGJ. I don't have a Service Manual for the Cougar, but I do have one for my Bullitt. I'm assuming they are pretty similiar. I'll go looking tonight for the Helm's Manual. I was going to get the Haynes one tonight actually.

    Intake Manifold Replacement on My '97 Cougar

    Well I've already picked up the NPI intake. I know the PI would've been the better choice, but my Mechanics skills are not the best. I din't want to pick up the other intake & have to figure out how to get it right. Hopefully the NPI part will be easy enough to do. Any helpful pointers?

    Intake Manifold Replacement on My '97 Cougar

    Thanks for all the replies. I think I'll go on ebay later today and order one a Manifold there. I've been looking at the prices and they all seem to be right around $200. I just hope the install isn't too difficult. I wouldn't mind the PI intake, but this care has more than 180K miles.

    Intake Manifold Replacement on My '97 Cougar

    The part is only $200? I just called another dealer & he told me $540 Just for the Kit. I'm thinking of looking on ebay, but I have no clue as to what parts are needed. I appreciate the offer 1LowGT, but St. Louis is a long drive. Any install tips would be appreciated as soon as I can find the part.

    Intake Manifold Replacement on My '97 Cougar

    I just found out that my intake manifold is cracked. I saw the post about the extended warranty but my car is well past that. I was wondering where I could get this part for relatively cheap. How difficult would it be to do this on your own? I did call a couple of local shops & they wanted...

    IL Emissions Question.

    Thanks. Maybe it was just the one person looking. I guess I was getting a little paranoid.

    IL Emissions Question.

    This may be a stupid question but I thought I'd ask anyway. My car has to go for emissions within the next couple of months. I took my other car in for testing and noticed that they look at the front license plate. Now my Mustang doesn't have a front plate. Can they ticket me for that? Or will...

    Fuel Pump Problems

    I've got a question. I have a friend whose ECM failed. He was told that the fuel pump caused it to fail. Now for some Background, when the car ws brought in the first thing that they did was replace the pump to find that the car still had problems. Eventually (2 and a half weeks later) they...

    I'll be there. I was hoping to make it to the Detroit SHow. Usually the Detroit show is a little better, but I guess it won't be happening this year. :(

    Good Point

    New Bullit?

    If the '01 Bullitt or any Mustang for that matter were to be used, I'm sure ALL badges would be removed. I don't think the original had any kind of identification on it.

    New Bullit?

    That would be sweet if they used the '01 Bullitt in the remake. Another sweet idea would be to use the movie to introduce a new Bullitt nodel on the next Mustang Model. I'd be happy with the '01 and '68 Bullitts making a cameo in the movie.
