    Problem with my seat.

    So tonight I went out to drive my car. As I sat in the seat, the whole thing rocked back. I don't mean the seat back reclined, the whole seat reclined, like the front of the seat wasn't bolted down. The sliders are still attached to the rails, and the rear of the seat is still attached to the...

    Rear Brake Pad Question

    Okay, so it's time for me to change my rear brake pads. I went out today and took the old pads out and was going to put the new ones in but a couple of the brackets that go on the pads were broken and just fell apart when I lifted the pad out of the caliper. Does anyone know what that braket...

    I'm talking about the little bar on the frame of the car, right above the visor.

    Lowered car, making clunking noise

    I had this problem when I lowered my car too, after the springs settled. It was because the bolts at the top of the struts weren't tightned down far enough and the struts were moving up and down. So I would suggest checking the bolts under the hood. If that's not it, then I'm not sure what...

    lost a piece for my top

    Okay, I called my local Ford dealership about this part and they said it's going to cost $37. I can't even begin to understand how a small piece of material costs that much. I was wondering if anyone knew of an online store that might carry this part. Thanks, and the part number is f4zz76515a32a.

    lost a piece for my top

    Well I'm glad it's such a well documented and common problem or I might nervous. :banana: I guess I'll just call Ford tomorrow to see if they can help me, if they can't I'll just go to a junk yard. I feel kind of proud that I posted a problem on stangnet that couldn't be answered, but in...

    lost a piece for my top

    I drive a 99 convertible and today I went driving with my top down. When I got back to my apartment I was putting the top up and when I tried to latch the passenger side it didn't hook. I looked over at it and saw that the little bar that the hook latches onto is gone. Has anyone ever had...

    Shaved antenna?

    Isn't there an antenna that goes on your windshield, like a sticker? I remember a friend telling me about something like that. I know the porshce's have then inside the windshield. Just wondering if anyone knew if there was a similar product for our cars. :shrug:

    Auto X tire pressure?

    I was just wondering what pressure any of you autoxers ran in your rear tires. I know the fronts have to be heavily inflated or else they will roll, but what about the rears? I just got back from an scca auto x in san francisco, where I ran 40psi in my rear and it just felt like my tires were...

    any gains from STEEDA Stage1 rotatin assembly?

    I would think that the stage II would be better for you, since it's built to be run NA. Not sure, but that is just what I would guess.

    where can i find these

    What you want are 2 or 3 piece wheels. Off the top of my head I can only think of Kinesis and OZ Racing, but there are way more companies than that. Typically these cost more than one piece wheels. Hope this helps.

    Mach 1 Break in?

    I've beat on my car since day 1 and it's been 136k miles with no engine trouble. I did change the oil a lot in the beginning, though. I changed oil at 500, 1000, and 3000. Then at 6000 I switched to synthetic and change the oil every 3000-5000 miles. Take that for what it's worth, I guess.

    CR-1 wide and roll cage

    Thanks for the advice. I was intending on welding the bar in, in the first place. I guess I should have put that in my first post. I'll probably end up going with a custom job now. THanks again.

    CR-1 wide and roll cage

    So I'm thinking about putting in some racing seats and a roll cage soon as my car is due for some mods. I want to get the Corbeau CR-1 wide seats, but I'm unsure as to whether or not they will fit with a roll cage. I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these seats and a...

    01 4v swap...any essential mods?

    Currently I have a 99 Gt with 140k miles on it and am doing an 01 cobra motor swap in the near future. My question is are there any mods that I should do right now while the motor is out? I guess I want to know if there are any weak points that would be better to address now. Also, I know...

    what do you think its worth

    sell the mods by themselves and put back on whatever stock parts you have, then sell the car

    Rebuild or Swap?

    I know this isn't the right board to being saying this on, but I think 400rwhp is about where I want to be at, more might be a little excessive ::hides in shame::....unless it was with nitrous, so I could have more when I wanted it. But 400 is about ideal. Thank you for the quick response and...

    Rebuild or Swap?

    Well my 99 Gt is getting on in its years now, as it has 135k miles on it. I'm not having any problems with it yet, but I'm not sure how much longer the car will last and I should start saving and planning for when my car needs major work. I was wondering if it would be better to rebuild or do...
