    Got new Fluidyne 3-row radiator, water temperature gauge still the same. Normal?

    Sure I will post some now (at least of the radiator) :) My old radiator on the left (I can't stand having the black plastic tanks on the sides) and my new aluminum radiator on the right. The 3 row radiator looks massively great. I know a bigger radiator might be overkill for my...

    Got new Fluidyne 3-row radiator, water temperature gauge still the same. Normal?

    I just got a brand new Fluidyne 3-row radiator :) I definitely wanted to replace the stocker with plastic tanks (my friend's radiator cracked where the plastic tanks are). Though when I had it installed, I noticed my water temperature gauge is at the same position as when I had the stock...

    Spark Plug Recommendation for a 2001 GT

    It's just about time to change my plugs again. I have the "cheapy" $1.99 NGK spark plugs that seem to be durable with no problems. Are there any noticeable advantages to using a "premium" plug? I saw review on E3 spark plugs and they seem to be negative for the most part. Anyone have any...

    Brake pedal feel

    Unfortunately it only made a modest difference. I do notice a slightly better pedal feel but sadly it wasn't what I was looking for. When I had my 2 piston Cobra brake kit, the pedal firmness was much better. My SSBC 4 piston kit had an excellent pedal feel when I first got them but 3 years...

    Brake pedal feel

    Thanks :) I'm going to a mechanic today to get this done. I'll inquire as to whether or not the master cylinder is bled as well.

    Brake pedal feel

    My brake pedals don't feel great anymore. It feels mushy and not as firm as when I first got my new brake kit. Would a brake fluid flush help?

    How long are Mustang exhaust tips?

    Thank you :D the borlas look great but since I can't find them "ala carte," I think I may have to go with the MRT's :)

    How long are Mustang exhaust tips?

    I have Magnaflow exhaust tips right now (since they came with my cutback set). I personally think they look terrible and I want to get rolled tips with a 15 degree angle cut. Since I have to get welded on (or screw on tips), how long are tips for the Mustang? Are they 12" or 14"? Anyone...

    Possible Engine Detonation? Please help.

    Unfortunately I don't have a manual transmission. I would like to have one. :) I'm hoping this is just an exhaust-based problem like you mentioned. Thanks Kilgore. Will detonation always leave its signature on the plugs? I'll definitely have someone pull out the plugs to see if there's...

    Possible Engine Detonation? Please help.

    hello :) I am using 91 octane gas. I reset my Superchips tune back to 87 octane but I still hear that metal clanging sound... I wonder if my engine can detonate at 87 octane... It happens mostly when I'm pressing the accelerator under normal driving (defined as 0-40mph not flooring it)...

    Possible Engine Detonation? Please help.

    I hear this sound in which I thought it was my exhaust rattling. It sounds like metal vibrating a bit loudly and it's been going on for about more than 3 months. It just hit me yesterday that what if that sound I hear (in which I think is my exhaust rattling) is actually detonation? I...

    10W-30 Motor Oil okay to use (in California)?

    Well, it's not just saving $20 but more like $50 since Mobil 1 runs about $6-7 a quart. d: :rlaugh: what's OP? As for gear oil, I think I have 75W90 in my differential. Since 5W-20 is a mileage oil, do you have any gains in any segment using oil that's not "energy conserving?" Weird...

    10W-30 Motor Oil okay to use (in California)?

    My dad has 5 quarts of Mobil 1 10W-30 oil lying around the house. The car that it was meant to be put in died so I want to use up his oil. I know 10W-30 is thicker than the recommended 5W grade but since I live in California (where it's never cold), would using the slightly thicker viscosity...

    Steering wheel vibration when braking

    thanks guys. when i got my cobra control arms, i saw my stock ones pulled out and they were really out of whack. The bushing was squeezed position. my new control arms solved about 80% of the vibration but there's still some left. i believe the problem lies with what you guys...

    Steering wheel vibration when braking

    When I press on the brakes, my steering wheel begins to shake. I thought my rotors could be warped but I just got my 2-piece rotors like 3 months ago. My installer told me that it's the front control arms because my 4 piston brakes are doing something to make them flex (I forgot what he...
