    Water pump bolts

    Do any of them actually thread into the timing cover? I broke 2 of them off, both by the drivers side water passage. Pulling on the TC, the bottom bolt moves as if it either is loose enough or it's stuck in the cover. The other doesn't look like its budging at all. In other words, if I pry the...

    So my coupe's dead... (long post)

    Last week, started developing a "ticking" sound under fairly hard acceleration. Not the best description, but its the best I can do. I believe now it may be detonation? On my way to work, problem became constant and now car won't accelerate, only making the noise louder. I coasted to a...

    Alternator - A/C correlation

    I replaced the WOT relay and have a full a/c charge. No leaks detected when I had the system serviced. The problem is that my a/c is hit or miss. Blows cold sometimes and warm others, as if the compressor stops running. Seems it starts to blow cold again when I rev through the gears coming from...

    Cobra Electric Fan

    So I see an emerging trend here, I'm going to spend all my time un-f-ing everything this kid did to the car before I bought it. I don't know how it's still running. It's got an electric fan out of a Cobra. Great upgrade right??? Only it's wired to a toggle switch on the dash. I know this needs...

    Smoke from steering column

    So I finally get one thing fixed only to have another problem. I'm driving today and turn on the wipers, within about a minute, smoke starts coming out of the steering column accompanied by a nice electrical burning smell. I turned the wipers off and it stopped pretty quickly. About 15 minutes...

    Buying a foxbody

    I'm looking to buy a foxbody, but sadly am a complete retard with these cars. I've had several SN95's but no experience with these. I'm really looking for a notchback, but found a nice 85 t-top hatch in my area. Going to look at it tomorrow, any advice on what to look for or what questions to...

    Roush Free stock midpipe

    It's a long-shot, but I've got my old stock midpipe from my 03 sitting in the garage if anyone needs it. I switched it out and no longer need it. Free for anyone who wants to pick it up, I'm right outside of Tampa, FL.

    Roush Headlight buzzer

    Is there a retard buzzer for 99-04's? I leave the house when it's dark and the sun is up by the time I get to work so I'm constantly leaving my headlights on. I've been reminded a few times by people that pass my car in the parking lot, but yesterday I finally got the retard award and left them...

    Exhaust leak

    So I got my busted header stud out today. The guy damaged the manifold threads drilling it out, so he just used a 5/8" bolt to hold it in. Unfortunately, it's still leaking - not nearly as bad, but still leaking. The studs are shoulder-less, so I know that isn't the problem, and it's cranked...

    Exhaust shop in Tampa

    Can anyone recommend a good shop in or around Tampa that can remove a broken header stud - that won't give me crap for my prochamber? Thanks.

    O2 sensor orientation

    Stupid question, does the placement of O2 sensors matter (front to back?) When I put my prochamber on, I laid them out in the correct order, but some neighborhood kids came by and one of them moved them while I was under the car. I replaced them by color, but the front driver sensor doesn't...

    Roush Things I learned today....

    and wished I knew earlier: Installed my Prochamber today and thought I'd share the experience. Stuff I should have known - 1. An 03 Saleen is considerably lower than a 96 GT and while jackstands work, it's not the optimal situation. 2. Front driver O2 sensor doesn't have enough wire to reach...

    Roush Towing question

    So I decided to tow the Saleen down to FL behind a u-haul. Anyone else ever used one of U-haul's car carriers (all 4 wheels off the ground) to pull their Saleen? I wonder how bad the clearance is for those ramps? I know, it probably depends on how much my suspention has sagged, but I imagine I'm...

    NXT and microfiber question

    I'm not going too crazy with the detailing until I move next month and get my garage, but I'm still want the stang to look good until then, so last weekend I did a quick once over. Wash - clay - 3M SMR - 3M Imper. Hand Glaze - NXT. I wanted to finish off w/ a couple of coats of Megs #26 but ran...

    Roush Exhaust question

    This may not belong here, but it is specific to my Saleen. I had a Prochamber w/ Mac Flowpaths on my 96 and absolutely loved the sound. I can't imagine it would sound any worse with the Borla's. So my question is - with the Prochamber hanging a bit lower than the stock cats, are there clearance...

    Roush 03 Saleen Vert

    Looking at a black '03 convertible, hoping to get some opinions. Here are the specs: This is the non-SC version. The window sticker is on the dash, shows a $47K MSRP, he's asking $23,900. Black/black top - paint is slightly faded in some places (I'm being extremely picky though.) Grey leather...
