So I have my wire harness all but complete, splicing metra 80-5511 in to the clarion harness. Well the illumination wires have me stumped. The Clarion harness is an orange white stripe wire for illumination, the Metra is a solid orange. There is an orange white stripe but it is marked...

I'm about to install a 4 channel amp, components, and a new deck. I want to have the amp in the trunk (of course) and all the speakers are in stock locations. What length have you guys been getting your RCA's and speaker wire in? And what brands have you guys noticed work well or insulate...

So sometimes, not all the time when I give the car gas I get what feels like a dead spot in acceleration. You can feel it when your going full WOT or sometimes just when your just moving ahead normally. I have no CEL telling me there is a misfire or anything like that but I think that might be...

So after a year of putting up with it I'm getting a bit tired of my g'damn shift knob loosening up on me. I've tried loctight, worked for about 30 minutes. Also do you guys use and washers when you tighten yours down? If I were to tighten mine all the way down the shifter would face between 90º...

So I have the car and it's tuned but I am still throwing a couple codes. I didn't write down the specific codes but this is what they are. Multiple random cylinder misfires and Bank 2 running rich I was throwing a code for cylinder 2 misfireing but I replaced that coil and I...

So I'm almost finished swapping a stock 2k gt block for an 04' explorer block. There are just a couple of things that are holding me up. On our gt iron blocks there is a little three pronged red connector that plugs into a socket on the passenger side of the block just under the last exhaust...

Ok, so my new long block is on the way here and I keep thinking maybe I should try to do it myself and save about 2g's in labor so I can still do some stuff with my stereo and not have my wife cut my jewels off. I this something a couple amature mechanics can do in a weekend or should I just...

I think I need a bunch of opinions here. I was expecting to com in here today raving about my new cams but when my mechanic pulled my cams out we had seen that some robot/****face never drilled an oil flow so my stock cam and head are pretty much ****ed. I have just over 100k on my car so I...

Like it says, will those fit with no problem or will there be cutting I will need to do? And how about in the rear, I asume it's the same as the door. I searched and had seen that a few of you have them in your stangs but I was wondering about the fit you had. Crutchfield is kinda vague on...

Just like the title, Every now and again when I start my car the dummy light stays on for the coolant. My temp gauge seems ok and usually if you shut the car off and restart it goes off but it's a PITA and I figure I might be ignoring a bigger problem. Anyone have an idea what it might be. I've...

Ok, so I am planning on replacing my head unit and I am wondering if I should go ahead and replace the factory amps and wiring or just forget that and use them with an adapter. It's been so long since I have been into stereo that I'm not sure what to do. What is everone's prefered replacement...

I found a seemingly cheap 4.6 dohc up by me but I can't remember what all I need to look for on it. If I get it I will be trying to convert it to be basically a 99 cobra engine with more power :D . There would be some rebuilding/reconditioning involved here. I guess I have a few questions: Is...

So I think my Long tubes baked my rag-joint on my steering column. Bad thing is it fell apart as I was getting inspected at the drag strip on saturday. I can't replaced just that part so I have to get the entire shaft. Maximum Motorsports and flaming river make replacement parts that eliminate...

So I might go pick up a posi unit tonight and try and install it. I've been reading up on the gear install write ups and the track-lok rebuild and I'm just not sure I can do that in a night being a rear end n00b. But how bad is it to install a whole unit, will I just need what comes in the box...

Have any of you 2v guys with stock compression in N/A form done a comparison to see what your cars make for power on a premium octane tune vrs. stock 87 tune? With appropriate timming for each fuel grade of course. A few tuners I spoke with recently are telling me that higher octane in our...

I didn't think they were selling yet but I spotted one up on showcase at a Ford dealership in Waconia Minnesota(boonies). But thats the only one I have seen so far. sooo, Who has one!!!!!! I almost went in and tried to buy it, But I knew my wife would Freeking kick my butt and I wouldn't...

Hey, do I just have the worst freekin luck or do softer tires tend to pick up more road debris like nail & screws?Grr I don't think my tire are still in production.. :mad: :bang: :fuss: :uzi: :chair: :doh:

What kind of power increase has anyone made after doing a stage 1 - 2 - 3 PI headporting on your 99+ stang? Hopefully you had it dyno'd at some point before the upgrade. I don't wanna know about the 96-98 because you get a big gain just from the PIs' themselves, and I thought there was some...

The sound seems to be comming from the very top of the engine... I also notice a high pitched squeel under load.Is this what happens when the plastic lower intake plenum warps :shrug: ? I hope not.. Well I take that back.. I hope its that easy to fix...

Yes the heads will fit on a 4.6. No point though, unless they are pi. Even if they are only really good for pre '99 Mod engines or for P&P work
