    My first suspension mod of many to come

    I just placed my order from oemfordparts.com for my M-3075-D front control arms, 2003 cobra style :banana: . This all stems from my bad bushings and ball joints, and actually got the control arms cheaper than ball joints and bushings alone. I hope to eventually mate these with some good...

    Coolant Leak very odd

    I've got a fairly bad coolant leak, but can't tell specifically where it's actually coming from. It rolls down the timing cover down the left side of the front where the harmonic balancer is then down on to the k-member down to the ground, it's getting hot and steaming, but i can't specifically...
