    Help with Coolant Leak....

    If I went to a junkyard, will any 4.6L intake manifold (with the metal thermostat housing) fit? Or is it just 96-98?

    Help with Coolant Leak....

    I've got a 96 mustang that keeps making coolant disappear, and it looks like I found the cause, where the coolant hose goes into the engine. I'm not exactly mechanically inclined, so if one of you could explain what I need to order to replace the piece it would be much appreciated. It looks...

    Best New Headlights for 96GT?

    I've been looking at new headlights and I'm not sure what's best. There are Xenon lights, projector headlights, and stock replacements. Any input would be appreciated on what would make the best replacements (i'm not talking about just the bulbs). I was looking at these but not sure on the...

    Where to get Pwr Steering Cap?

    I lost the power steering cap on my 96 Mustang GT (Ok, maybe I took it off and forgot about it and it rolled away somewhere on I-95), and I tried to google a replacement but all i can find is the V6 version. Autozone said they didn't have any either....any suggestions on where I can find one?

    Lightest clutch?

    I have a 96GT w/ a king cobra clutch kit in it, and after a couple of years with it my knee is about to explode from sitting in traffic too many times. The clutch pedal requires WAY too much efford and considering i'm pretty much stock i think i went a bit overboard on the clutch. What has the...

    96gt vs 98gt

    There really isn't much of a difference, 96-98s usually do the same at the track. My 96 puts out less power out of a 4.6L than a freekin altima's v6 crapola If you're shopping around, find a cheap 99+.

    Has AnyOne Hit 200mph W/00-04 GT

    Don't forget the new vette (with 400hp) can do 186mph out of the box. It can be done, but I'd be worried about it trying to fly... body kits won't work unless they were actually designed for downforce. Most of the ones you'll find are cosmetic.

    HELP!...steering squeaking like crazy

    Hey, I have a 96GT, and recently the steering has been squeaking like crazy. When you are sitting and hold the steering in a certain direction, it doesn't continue to squeak, only when the wheels are actually moving. I'm pretty novice when it comes to working on cars, but I figure it can't be...

    I have a 96GT, which was outside in the rain last night. Today i tried to start it, and it will not hold an idle. if i rev the engine up i can move it around (got it in the garage finally), but it doesn't idle at all. I've had problems similar to this before, but it would always start on the...

    weird.. car wouldn't start, but why?

    The car started up and then pretty much immediately died; it wouldn't hold an idle at all. But after 3 tries in a row it started up fine and has been fine ever since. Thats why I assumed it had something to do with the rain, though I may be wrong.

    weird.. car wouldn't start, but why?

    My car was in the rain all day, and i pulled it into the garage. A few hours later I tried to start it, and it would start then die, like it couldn't hold an idle. I tried 3 times, and the same thing happened.. finally started on the 4th, and its been fine ever since. Did it have something to...

    '96 GT Clutch Suddenly Slipping

    Hmm.. i don't lift the pedal on my 96GT, and my clutch is fine, so i doubt it. I replaced the stock one awhile back with a king cobra clutch.. its a good affordable replacement, though the pedal feel is a bit harsh. Doesn't sound like normal clutch wear though; atleast the problem will be...

    Help with stained wheels

    I have a 96 GT w/ 16" wheels (stock), and after a year at my apartment they are badly stained. Looks like when it rains (which happens often in FL : ) the brake dust drips down and then bakes on the wheels, and it won't come off no matter how hard i scrub.. is there any product out there that...

    Where to get cross-drilled/slotted rotors?

    I've got a 96GT that has warped rotors up front, and i figure that since its going to cost money to have them turned, why not just upgrade. I saw a link before for zinc-plated cross-drilled/slotted rotors on ebay for 150.. anyone have any suggestions on what to look for, where to shop, etc...

    squeak coming from the rear

    when i had that problem it turned out to be the e-brake cable rubbing against the rear diff.. evidently they become loose and cause the squeaking... might be the problem in this case.
