    Cobra + ice =

    It's hard for you to see from this angle, but the front facia on the passenger side was completly ripped off, or at least just dangling. It was also pretty scratched up from the fence. I would be more concerned about what he may have done to the underside going through that ditch. As far as I...

    Not a good day for this guy. Snapped this on my way to work recently.

    160 Thermastat

    Ya, keep the 180. Change your plugs to the next cooler temp range.

    Running lights on '97 GT-question

    Ok, thanks. Sounds like it has the delete package, so he wired in his own lights and either didn't put in a switch, or I can't find it. Are the stock lights easy to find for purchace? I'd rather install those then the ones he put in there. <edit> Nevermind, found them on eBay for $40-$50...

    Running lights on '97 GT-question

    I do have cloth seats and no power windows. I do have a rear spoiler though. I have never seen a switch anywhere in my center console. I tried to follow the wiring one time to see where it goes from the lights, but lost it behind the dash. It is also possible they are not even hooked to a...

    Running lights on '97 GT-question

    Ok, stupid question for you all. I was looking at a thread that has pics of 96-98 GT's. All of the cars have running lights in small space below on the lower air dam. Was this standard on all 96-98 GT's? The reason I ask is that my '97 has lights down there, but they are not factory. They...

    Diff and gears

    Thanks. Anyone recommendations on running a numerically higher gear ratio, say a 3.73 or 3.92? Just don't want to kill the top end too bad though.

    Diff and gears

    I have a mostly stock '97 gt. What differential and axle does that have, and what gear ratio did it come with stock?

    Rack and pinion leak

    And do I need to bleed the fluid after installation? About how long would you estimate it would take to do the enitre installation?

    Rack and pinion leak

    Ok. I read also that I should tie the steering wheel down because if it turns after I have the rack out, it could damage the air bag switch. Does this sound right?

    Rack and pinion leak

    I looked at my Haynes and Chiltopns manuals, and it doesn't look that difficult, but probably time consuming. Anyone ever changed their rack and pinion, and if so, how difficult, time consuming was it? Thanks.

    Rack and pinion leak

    The leak seems to be coming from the seal on the shaft, and the leak comes out the area where the boot is. Ford told me that you can not service that inner seal and that the only fix is to replace the entire unit. How hard is that to do? I have a replacement rack and pinion I picked up at...

    Where is purge valve???

    Thanks. Anyone know if this is the same on a '97 GT?

    Rack and pinion leak

    Is there a way to fix a leaky seal in the rack and pinion without having to replace the entire unit? Some sort of stop leak for steering fluid or something maybe? Car is a '97 GT. Thanks.

    Where is purge valve???

    I have a '97 GT. Can someone tell me where the purge valve and purge sensor are? I thought they were on the firewall, but can't seem to locate. Thanks

    Ford Employees - X plan

    Call your dealirship. They have a list of all the companies that get x-plan pricing. They will tell you if your company qualifies. I looked at using x-plan when I was going to buy a pickup, but the Chysler Affiliate Rewards program was a much better discount plan then the Ford x-plan, so I...

    Throttle body spacer??

    I never heard that. A TB spacer is going to get just as hot as the intake its attached to as the heat transfers through the metals. So i'm not really sure how it would "insulate" you from the heat of the intake as you said. I suppose it could help prevent vapor lock in carb engines by lifting...
