    MM&FF magazine

    which month was it? But now, if some of you didn't get anything, I'm thinking I might order the issue and get nothing inside... Heck, for 5-6$ I'll give it a try anyways. Or maybe if one of you guys has it and willing to part with it, I can send you a pre-postaged paid envelop and 5 bucks...

    MM&FF magazine

    weird didn't get one? I'm in Montreal, I buy the mag at the mag store and it came in a plastic bag with the red license plate in it. Usually it's not in a plastic bag. If you have the lastest one (Sept. I think), towards the end, there's an article about suspension mods and a pic of the...

    MM&FF magazine

    Can someone remind me which month came with the red MM&FF license plate in it. It was around March - June this year but I cannot remember which one I got it but the red on the plate somehow faded and I want to get another one and laminate it with plastic or something to protect the color...

    where was you're first job at?

    Construction Two of my friend's dads owned companies. One was a housing and the other roofing so I did general construction work on one side and installed shingles on the other. Started at 15 and made a cool 12-15$/hr cash. My two friends and I were pig rich for 15yr olds and impressed the...

    RTV on PI gasket (PI intake swap)

    I'll be doing the swap in about 3 wks or so. There's one thing I don't quite grasp and it is where exactly does the RTV go on the PI gasket... I saw the pics posted on stangnet (by TGJ) with the one with the circle and all but still not sure where it goes. According to the picture, the...

    Servicing ideas while doing 2V PI intake swap

    While I'm at it, I was thinking of cleaning up the injectors but have no clue as to what to use to clean them up. Can I just use Isopropyl alcohol? or is Ethanol better. I see no difference... Or soak them in that seafoam stuff? Will put that seafoam in there once I close everything up. Is...

    PI intake from crown vic

    cool It's true that you can play around a lot with the power by just modifying exhaust and calibration. My stupid intake is leaking (car is stock) so I'll be doing the swap in the next month or so. I'm only gonna change the intake cuz my long term plan is to get a 4V engine for my 96GT. So...

    PI intake from crown vic

    Thanks I searched for a pic of each on the net, found some and compared and all the bolt holes seemed to be at the same place so they're probably the same. They probably changed the cams or something to adapt the RPM TQ band to a big livingroom on wheels. Al

    PI intake from crown vic

    Intake from a 2003 grand marquis/crown vic... are these same as the PI inatkes on stangs? same 2V engine? The horspower/TQ ratings are different... was wondering where the difference comes from. heads and cams maybe? I'm guessing the intakes are the same but it's only a guess and prefer...

    Ticking sound on throttle...

    Wow No clue, I'll have to check the front end carefully... I'll have to see if it does it when I slowly rev the engine but standing still in neutral.

    Need opinions on Deep dish

    Performance wise 17" = will be lighter = less rotating mass = less strain on the suspension, steering, etc = tire side walls will be thicker so possible better hook on launch. dependinding on which tires you go for, you'll have different caracteristics. You want better straight line or...

    Ticking sound on throttle...

    Another thing I almost forgot. Another weird thing is that the ticking is not proportional to engine speed... At first I thought the engine was going bad but then noticed that it wouldn't do it at idle, it does it only under some load. So I thought maybe something in the crank area...

    Ticking sound on throttle...

    Hi guys wondering what the sound is. Can only hear it on part throttle when engine is cold during cooler weather... Is does a tick tick tick coming from engine bay but no ticking at idle. Any clues? Engine going bad? 4.6 with about 120k No oil burn, no trouble at start up, etc.

    Squeeking when I turn the steering...

    Thanks I think it might be tie rods... I now remember the mechanic saying something about that about 6 months ago. Have approx 130k miles on it. I had the power steering fluid flushed out and all and nothing came up from that so I was guessing it wasn't that. I think tie rods might be...

    Squeeking when I turn the steering...

    or when I hit a bump. Is it suspension or steering column? Any input appreciated. It squeeks more so around center then the squeeking goes away if I turn the steering more. It also squeeks when I go over speed bumps for example. Thanks
