    Best Wax???

    I have used almost everything on the planet. Zaino (I don't work for them either) makes THE best products on the market. All the stuff in the store is crap compared to Zaino. But if you have to get it from a store, Zymol is in my opinion the best stuff. Its pretty good, but Zaino makes it look...

    Front Tint Illegal In MI? What!?!?

    I just tinted my windows myself. I bought some ghetto limo tint film from PepBoys. Tinting your windows is a huge pain in the @$$!!! Through frustation and expletives, I'm fairly good at it now. Nobody here in IL would do my front windows either so I figured I better do it myself. I know im...

    Beeps in reverse?

    The dealership can turn it off. There are a bunch of user preferences that can be changed in the PCM at the dealer that most people are unaware of. For example, you can have your keyless entry unlock both doors with one button press or only the driver side door. Im not sure exactly what is...

    6k to spend on heads and cams

    Yeah, I'm also not quite sure why your 4.10's equal no blower. Is it really that big of deal to put some 3.55's or 3.73's in? Actually screw it 4.10's+blower=good times. You'd just need some big slicks and suspension. Anyway, all bs aside, I'm saving my coins for the Patriot Performance Stage 3...

    3.73 prior instalation!!!

    $160 seems cheap. Now I can do it myself in 2 hours. When I called a bunch of shops to get quotes for my 4.10's, the acted like it would take all day and some quoted me over $500. My buddy ended up doing it for me for $200. I wish I knew what I was doing then, it seemed so confusing at the time...

    Mitsubishi 2006 Eclipse

    Agreed that it looks like ass, and I hate Mitsubishi with a passion. But it's probably pretty quick and the interior looks alright. Either way, Mitsu is doomed. Give it a year or two and they will be history and they can concentrate more on making TV's and construction equipment.

    I don't know whether to laugh or cry

    ROFL! I was already planning on doing that! But I'm a stupid 20 year old kid so most car salesman laugh at me when I ask about things at dealerships so they probably won't take me seriously. Suprisingly, my local Ford dealer had no problem letting me take out a Dark Shadow Grey '03 Cobra two...

    Greyish Blueish Smoke.. Help Please..

    Yep sounds like some blow by is going on. Could also be valve seals. But I would suggest doing a Compression test and a cylinder leak down test. Also, do the compression test dry and wet. Wet meaning squirt a few drops of oil in the spark plug hole. If the numbers jump up a decent ammount on the...

    Going to talk to the dealer today

    Oh yeah, if you go to www.blueovalnews.com they have a production schedule. I believe '06 'stang production starts Aug. 13th so basically if you want an '05 and can't find one on a lot yer SOL. The salesman is probably being truthful in that 05MY orders are booked.

    Going to talk to the dealer today

    I think my dad used plkastic to put a down payment on his '02 F-150 when we factory ordered it. They'll gladly accept all forms of money.

    I don't know whether to laugh or cry

    Drove past a local Honda dealer yesterday and saw the had an '05 GT vert for sale already. So I was interested to see what the wanted for it so I checked out their site. It turns out, they want $38,900 for it. :lol: That is outrageous. Sadly though, some rich sap will buy it for his daughter...

    Engine braking (lack of)

    Dan, I think you've totally missed the point here. I think everyone here is well aware that if you're driving an automatic and manually select 1st or 2nd at 60 mph its not going to downshift into the computer sees a safe cehicle speed. Just like the federally mandated reverse lockouts that EVERY...

    Eleanor Tips

    The Thalon kit looks nice. But it will probably be insanely expensive and require extensive bodywork. It sure doesn't look like a bolt on affair. And it's fiberglass. :notnice: I would wait to see what Cervini's has up their sleeve. They always have nice quality stuff. The car they have on the...

    warming up car.....

    Sounds like you are describing the noisey idler pulley that every modular Ford engine has. Was it a squeeky ratchety kinda sound? And did it change with engine RPM? If so, I can nearly garauntee it is the idler pulley. Mine goes away after probably 3-5 minutes. Its no big deal, just something...

    just did the Eibach Pro-Kit last night

    Give it a little bit of time. It should level out. New springs take some time to settle. I put Eibachs on my buddy's T/A and it looked retarded for the first couple days. The ride height was higher than stock. But then it settled in and looked fine. Also, an impact isn't needed for the nuts on...

    Hood shake problem build dates

    Try adjusting the stops for the hood. Mine on my '97 were not adjusted right and the hood would shake violently at highway speeds. Close the hood and lift up or wiggle the hood around and you might be able to find whats causing the problem. Don't bother with the dealership, you should be able to...

    brakes squeak

    Nothing is wrong with your brakes. Squeaks come and go. I used to be a technician at Midas and have done countless brake jobs. It doesn't matter whether the pads are aftermarket or OEM, plenty of times the will squeak or squeal when brand new. If it really annoys you, get some ceramic pads. They...

    yeah boy!!! 13.217 @ 103.31 *Auto*

    These numbers are very possible. M/T got a 13.8 I believe w/ an auto and C/D got a 13.6 with a stick. We all know how those guys drive. Also, Ford has been very conservative with power ratings in recent times. The new car is supposedly lighter even though it doesn't look it one bit. Plus, new...
