    Feeling Heat Through Floor

    Recently got an '89 5.0 vert. All 100% stock original except 3.73s. I noticed on a long drive, the floor just under my left foot really heated up, like it was coming off the cat or the exhaust is getting super hot. Everything runs OK, not overheating, but I'm concerned the cat is messed up or...

    Blown Heater Inlet Hose

    I noticed a mild coolant leak a couple weeks back, and traced it to the hose going from the metal heater tubes to the inlet of the heater core. Tightened the clamp up good, and leak was solved ! Just tonight driving, I got on it hard, like 6K rpm and the hose exploded, lost coolant, had to call...

    Sudden Loss Of Charging / Amp Light On

    My charging has been weak ever since I bought the car, like dimming headlights at night. Last night I was idling at a light and the voltage was LOW, like near the red, so I'm reving the motor up to about 1200 rpm to maintain the voltage at the middle. This was working like normal, then suddenly...

    High Rpm Power Loss After Switching Back To 1.6 Rockers

    I had installed Crane 1.7 ratio roller rockers when I did my GT40p heads a while back. Problem is, even after re-checking the torque/install on them several times, I could never get them to be quiet, car always sounded like a loud sewing machine and I couldn't learn to 'accept' it. So today I...

    Popular Mods That You'd Recommend To Not Do

    Myself I'd say gears. Everybody likes to do gears because it gives you a kick in the ass. In my experience, after the fun of burning out in 2nd wears off, you realize the car really isn't that much funner to drive, and the short gears become more of a pain in the ass. I had a Notch with 3.55's...

    Heads And Clutch - Best To Pull Motor ?

    I'm getting ready to swap heads and intake, but I have a mildly slipping clutch so I'm considering doing that really soon too. Is it better to do the h/i from the top, then drop the tranny later on. Or would I be best off to just pull the motor/tranny as a unit and do it all that way ? I'm...

    How To Deal With Broken Neutral Gear Switch

    When checking for codes i found that my neutral gear switch in the T5 is not working (had to hold clutch the whole time). I checked it with a meter at the pigtail and sure enough it is not closing contact regardless of shifter position. So, i wouldn't care if it only affected the code checking...

    Ac And Smog Delete Without Moving Ps

    Ok so according to the pic on my radiator shroud this should be a legit setup. Has anyone done this and can anyone tell me the belt length that will work for this ? In the pic it shows it with the AC just bypassed - so it follows that I can have both the AC and smog bypassed and use the same...
