    Hood Problems

    Alright so I noticed what seems to be an issue (in my opinion at least). I was driving down the interstate the other day and when I got up to about 75 I noticed some vibrations coming from my hood. It was almost like the hood wasn't latched all the way and the front corners were trying to be...

    Block Up Build

    Alright so I have decided to build me a motor from the block up (I know it would probably be more cost effective to just buy a crate motor but I really enjoy working on things so I want to build my own). I have read all over and have come to the conclusion that the teskid (teksid?) block is my...

    Aftermarket Parts

    Alright so I have what may seem like a stupid question. I have a 2000 Mustang gt with a 5 speed. Is there anyway to tell (without pulling the motor apart) what aftermarket parts I have on my motor? I know I have a CAI, aftermarket coil packs, and aftermarket exhaust (x pipes). My curiosity is...

    Backfire

    So I think I have a new problem or my old problem is getting worse. So I bought the car roughly a month ago and since I have owned it when you first start it it will die immediately and backfire. It sounds more like a pop coming out of the exhaust. I think I have it narrowed down to the camshaft...

    Rough Start And High Idle

    Hey guys, I just got a 2000 GT with a 4.6 and a 5 speed manual transmission. Whenever I start the car it will start, immediately die, and after it dies it will backfire. It will generally do that one time and then it will start right up and run fine. Also, the idle is a little off I think. When...

    Just A Few Questions...

    Alright so I am going to start off by saying that I am a complete noob when it comes to mustangs. I just acquired my first mustang last week (through a trade). Here is what I know, it is a 2000 GT with a 4.6 (I believe) and a 5 speed manual transmission. When I got it everything seemed to be...
