    What are these hoses for?

    I'm looking at buying a 2001 GT, but there are two open hose connections coming out of the top of the firewall with no hoses on them. I've marked them on the attached image with the hoses attached. Can anyone tell me what these are used for and if it's OK if nothing is hooked up anymore? Thanks!!!

    Thinking about getting a 95 GT coupe

    Hey all, I've currently got a 94 GT vert 5-speed with 160K miles on it, and I'm thinking of trading up to a 95 GT coupe auto with 73K miles for $6K. I'm thinking of doing this because I'd like an auto for rush hour traffic, and I really want something with lower miles. My 94 has a rear main...

    Which clear corner lights/how do I remove rubbed-on paint?

    I rubbed the driver's side fender and bumper on a pole at my apartment complex like an idiot because I was in a hurry leaving and turned my wheel too soon while backing out of the parking space. I need to replace the corner light (turn signal light) and I also have quite a bit of paint from the...

    Smog pump questions, bypass?

    My 94 started making a new sound yesterday morning (don't we all love those "new sound" problems?). It reminds of the "chirping" sound from a throw out bearing, but it has a more metallic, mechanical sound if that makes sense. I am almost positive it is coming from a belt-driven pulley or...

    Blinker/hazard light problem

    All of a sudden today my right turn signal indicator started flashing about twice as fast as usual. The left signal works fine. I also tried the hazard lights, and noticed that the left came on but the right didn't until I wiggled the hazard switch on top of the steering column. After doing...

    TOB, clutch replacement questions

    I hear a whirring sound when I depress my clutch that goes away when I release the clutch pedal. I'm pretty sure it's the TOB based on my search of other threads here. The sound is most noticeable in the morning after the car has been sitting all night and goes away about 90% at the end of my...

    Car pinging in this Phoenix, AZ heat!!!

    OK, cleaned the MAF (it did help), but my car still detonates badly when I give it more than like 30% throttle on the commute home when the temps are 110+. My temp gauge reads at "L", and on some days my AC will stop blowing cold for a couple minutes and then "fix itself". Ideas, solutions...

    WOT pinging/detonation

    My car has been pinging lately. It only does it under load at WOT that I've noticed so far, and it kicks in at about 3000rpms and continues up to redline. I put in some 89 octane while driving cross-country and that seemed to help some. It also seemed to happen less at night when it was...

    Speedo Gear for 3.55s

    Anyone know the correct "driven" speedometer gear for 3.55 gears? I'm talking about the gear that's on the cable, not the drive gear...

    Just got 3.55s

    Well I have some good news and bad news... The good news is that I just had 3.55 gears installed this morning. They are exactly what I was looking for. There is a noticeable increase in SOTP feel, but I still have lots of gear for the highway (I drove it about 200 miles home from the shop...

    Bad Clutch?

    Okay, I have suspected that my clutch is going bad for a while now. Well today I ran the car from a stop with the window down, and on the 1-2 shift, the car doesn't surge ahead like it used to, no tire chirping either (and that's with 3.55s). Instead it just sort of drops rpms while slightly...

    Finally getting the 'stang out

    Well it's been over 18 months since I've driven the 'stang. I always put it in storage during the winter, and last summer I didn't have enough money to put insurance on my car due to various other expenses, mostly college summer classes. But yesterday I called the insurance company and dropped...

    Aftermarket rear bumpers

    Hey everyone please post pictures of your aftermarket rear bumpers. I'm looking to get one soon because mine got hit and I always use something breaking as an excuse to upgrade. I was thinking about Cervini's stalker body kit, but i don't know if i like the rear bumper. I'm leaning towards...

    Please Post Pics of chrome Cobra R wheels

    I'm looking to buy new wheels. I want the 1995 style cobra r wheel in chrome or polished. I'd like to get some 18" wheels, but I don't know if the cost jump justifies the look. Also, I still have good 17" tires so if I get 17" rims i can wait a year for new tires. I am really tight on money...

    Cutting Stock Springs???

    Well, I was planning on getting some H & R lowering springs and Tokico Adj. shocks/struts. But now it looks like I'm not going to have that much money to spare anytime soon. I REALLY don't like the stock height, so I was wondering if anyone here has cut the stock springs. I am not TOO...

    Which O/R pipe for a 'vert with magnaflows???

    OK, last summer I installed a magnaflow catback. It sounds good, but I gotta get rid of the stock h-pipe. I actually kinda like the sound of the magnaflows with the h-pipe, but I have read that an x-pipe sounds even better. I also have heard that there might be fitment issues since I have a...

    Rear End Rebuild Questions

    Well, my stock T-Lok is not doing its job, so I want to put some 3.73 gears in it and rebuild it. I would like to get the job done by Drive Train Specialists (www.drivetrainspecialists.com) because I live near one of their shops and I know they will do it right. The only problem is they charge...

    Lowering springs - Eibach Sporlines or H&R

    Ok, I've read the reviews on stangnet for both springs. They both sound pretty darn good. Question on the Eibachs - With a FRPP Alum. Driveshaft it sounds like the e-brake will rub. How can you fix this problem? Also, the H&R are progressive, are the eibachs? what exactly does this mean in...
