    Ticking

    My oil was low, which was surprising considering I just changed the oil about a month ago.. But it is burning oil and I was told it seems like I need new piston rings which calls for an engine rebuild. I topped the oil off and drove it but the ticking persist. I'm begining to wonder if the trans...

    Ticking

    Thanx.. I think I'm kinda leaning that way.. I need to have my engine rebuilt anyway because my piston rings are going bad so I guess I'll have all of it done at once.. good thing winter is on the way.. guess my baby will spend most of it in the "hospital".

    Ticking

    Ok so this morning I'm driving to work and upon takeoff my car shuttered a bit, I thought it was the trans slipping or something. When I lifted the hood I hear a ticking noise coming from the passenger side head. It sounds like the valve train. My question(s) is this: 1) If I need valve work...

    Anyone have a BBK CAI? (please come in)

    I have had mine for about 2 years and I love the way it looks under the hood.. As far as performance I will say that while not significant I did notice a lil better performance. But then again I also installed a bigger TB and Upper plenum at the same time so.... Also it's cool because when I go...

    Burning oil

    For about the last 2 months I've noticed that when I let my car idle for more than like 30 seconds I start gettin a lot of white smoke from the tailpipes and it smells like oil burning. I asked a mechanic friend of mine and he said it is either the seals or the piston rings going bad. If this is...

    Washed the engine and water got in coils...

    I actually wash mine with a power washer at one of those do it yourself car wash's.. I just leave the car running while I'm doing it and I spray everything down... It's never hesitated or anything.. I drive it for about 10-15 minutes afterwards just to let the heat dry it off..

    Always race with O/D off?

    When I turn off O/D it seems to turn itself back on once I hit somewhere between 85 and 90.. Is it supposed to do that?

    Has AnyOne Hit 200mph W/00-04 GT

    that's nothing.. once I put my 2000 18x9.5" Cobra R rims on I hit like 375mph... Unfortunately I had the windows down and the vacuum effect sucked my puppy outta the window..

    The first couple of turns are a bitch..but after that it's easy.. The first time I did it I tried the c clamp because I didn't know.. I turned so hard that the damn c clamp broke in two

    2005 Ford Mustang GT vs. 2005 Pontiac GTO

    I actually like the new(05) GTO.. It has an understated look about it and the engine is a beast.. I wouldn't trade my stang for one but I'd possibly buy one to park next to the stang.. nothing wrong with a lil diversity..

    Just put on 40 series flows

    I felt the same way when I had my 40's put on.. they weren't much more aggressive sounding than the stockers. But once I had the cats removed, man it sounded like a totally different beast..

    does any of your cars feel good some days,

    I notice this myself from time to time.. Normally it appears to be atmospherically caused.. When the humidity is high and it's warm then it feels kinda sluggish..

    Burning oil

    Hey guys.. My car has started smoking somewhat when at idle and I smell a faint burning oil aroma. One of my buddies told me I may need to get new piston rings installed. I've tried using "stop smoke" and other products like it. My question is how much can I look forward to spending to have the...

    v6 stang rollin 20s

    Dragger personally I think your car looks cool as hell. People here need to understand that not everyone is trying to make their car go 1000mph. Mustangs are nice looking cars as well as potentially fast and some people decide to go for sprucing the looks of the car up instead of making the car...
