    Being a former Saleen owner, I'm partial to those cars. I've been looking to buy an 03-04 Terminator lately though and wondered if Saleen made any Terminator-Saleens in 03-04. Anyone know?

    03 Cobra Experts in Here

    Two quick Questions. 1. Did they make 03 Cobras in two different shades of dark grey? 2. Which of the 03 Cobras have the head cooling problems? I heard it was the early 03's but when exactly during the year did they correct it? Is it true that the corrected heads have a blue dot on the...

    03-04 Cobra Head Problems?

    I've been looking around and will be buying an 03-04 Cobra in the near future. I remember reading somewhere about some of the 03-04 Cobras having defective cyl. heads or something (#7 or #8 cl. I think)? Are there certain early production cars that should be avoided? Any other recalls or...

    Bad Steering Wheel Vibration. Suspension experts in here.

    OK, I'm very frusterated with my 91 GT. Up until about 65-70mph the car is very smooth and enjoyable. However from about 70 on up my steering wheel bounces up and down way too much to the point where you can actually see it vibrating. It makes the car very unpleasnt to drive at highway...

    My Rev Limiter isn't working. Why?

    Did a burnout the other day and my tach went all way to 7,000 plus when I floored it. Aren't 5.0's supposed to have a 6250rpm limiter? My car has very few mods and Anderson Ford Motorsport and a few other places said I must have a chip in the computer because that is the only way to delete the...

    Can you put AFR 185's on a Stock 302?

    Doing H/C/I and want to do it right the first time. Will eventually run a supercharger so I want the Holley Sytemax Intake w/ custom cam and AFR Heads. Would 185's be over-kill on a stock 5.0 motor no matter what cam and intake? Would they work at all? Won't the Holley/Custom Cam/AFR Heads...

    I Hate My Flowmasters (Dronemasters).

    My car is a 91 GT with an O/R Bassani X-pipe, BBK Shorty Headers, and Flowmaster American Thunder CB. Ever since I put the Bassani X on, my car drones really bad around 2000 rpm and it resonates my interior and causes even more rattles and little buzzing sounds. The car sounds awesome at idle...

    Hey guys, Its time for me to finally fix my ebrake, I did a rear disc conversion on my car a few months ago and have been driving around without one. All I have are the two rear cables (M-2809-A). The FRPP instructions that I downloaded show the use of a front cable (M-2810-A). Does anyone...

    Strange Sound in 1st & 2nd Gear

    I have a 91 GT 5 speed. Recently it started making a slight scraping sound from the drivetrain only at low rpms in 1st and 2nd Gear. At first I thought it was my driveshaft scraping my mufflers but I checked the clearance and everyting was OK. I don't think its a transmission problem--the car...

    5.0 into a 98 GT? How difficult?

    I've been looking at a 98 GT that a guy is seling near my area. He is selling it less engine and trans and I was wondering if I should stick to the 4.6 or if it would be easy to drop a 5.0 into it. I would rather go with the 5.0. Besides changing the computer, what other things will need to...

    Help! 2.3L w/ very fast idle...

    The car is an 89 LX with auto trans. When the car is in Park it idles way too fast (1500-2000 rpm) especially when it is cold. However, even once it warms up it still always idles around 1500 rpm. What could be causing this? What should I check first?

    Convert GT into LX?

    I know a lot of people put ground effects on LX's, but how difficult is it to make a GT look like an LX? I really like the look of the LX hatchbacks better with those exhaust pipes sticking out from under the bumper, the cleaner lines in general and the extra weight savings.
