Hey all, I purchased a the above mentioned radar detector off of a buddy yesterday and want to make it a bit more more conspicuous, i.e. rid myself of the wire hanging down from the windshield. In the mach there is a cig. lighter in the little console box, so I want to keep the cig. lighter...

Well, I finally got an offroad X pipe for the mach and installed it yesterday. I must say that it sounds MEAN, even with the stock mufflers. I have some flowmaster 40's sitting around, so I may add those in later today. Never the less, the pipe (BBK) has 4 slots for the o2 sensors. The wires...

I believe that I can afford a blower now for the mach 1 (i'm not going to screw around with this one), but I have a few questions. First of all, I don't go to the track really, mainly just a DD. I'm looking at a vortech centri and really only want to run 6-7psi of boost due to the high...

Well, I have a spare off road X pipe sitting around, trouble is that it is for long tubes. I'm pretty handy with a torch, so I'm contemplating maybe welding in some extensions so it will reach the manifolds. Worth the time or should I just leave the cats/pipe alone? Would I risk loosing too...

Hey fellas and gal(s), I'm looking for some tasteful opinions on emblems. Like some have said in other threads relating to the matter, the emblems do make the car, as they are the first thing others see. I enjoyed having the fender emblems on the GT, but on the mach as with other 99 and...

This isn't the usual cobra blower on a GT thread!:nono: I have a line on a used 03/04 cobra blower (eaton I believe?). I'm pretty sure it would fit the actual engine itself, as it is essentially the same thing- terminator heads and all. My concern is about clearence. Would I have clearence...

I just recently bought an 04' mach 1 and I want to clean up the aluminum valve covers. They aren't in bad shape, but they could sure use a good once over. What would you guys suggest? I've heard WD-40 does the job, but I just dunno?:shrug:

I currently have my GT at a shop right now, as I was getting some PI cams installed. Trouble is that I believe I have some piston to valve clearence issues, as there is a horrid knocking sound from the driver's side of the motor (even with the old cam in). Should I have the shop tear it down...

I posted a thread last week debating whether I should stick with the GT or get an 01' Cobra. Long story short, I decided against both of them. So, I went with an 04' Mach 1:D Saw it at a dealership Friday night, went up and checked it out Saturday; haggled with the salesman and it was mine...

A friend of mine has offered me his 2001 Cobra (basically stock) with 55,000 miles on the clock for $14K. I've driven it and obviously the horse power over my GT is intoxicating and tempting. Personally, I think that it's a steal. I believe that I could satify the montly payments if I were to...

Hey guys, I originally brought the stang to a shop to finish off my cam install, i.e. work out timing issues. Needless to say, I'm getting irritated as they haven't touched it since I brought it there 8 days ago. Obviously, I'm getting irritated, so I'm thinkin' about just doin it myself...

Hi 5.0 stangers! I'm more of a 4.6 guy, but have rebuilt two 306's with a buddy of mine; so I guess I know the basics and a bit more of the 5.0. Anyways, my buddy recently bought his second 306 at the beggining of June (an 87). But like his other one, we had some issues; this time a head...

I'm missing mine (been 3 days, probably won't be done until Tuesday). I did get the PI cams in it, but on both sides I had a bit of timing chain slip, so I played it safe and brought it to the shop to have a "stang expert" (he owns 3 of them) time it out right. Plus, the tow was free, as my...

Ever since I put my PI intake on, I have noticed that my K&N filter (FIPK) has always made a fairly loud "sucking" or "whooshing" noise when I stomp on the gas. The air silencer is removed, so I have assumed that's why I can hear it. On the other hand, should I get a bigger filter if the sound...

I finally got the LeBra I ordered for the stang' yesterday! The front end looked like s*** and I really cannot afford a paint job right now (I'm a grad student=I heart debt), so I figured why not go with a $60 LeBra. What do you guys think...

My weekend project will be to install a set of PI cams I picked up this week. I read a few articles and write ups, but it seems as if getting the valve covers off will be a PITA. I was sizing up the job earlier, and a few of the small bolts (especially) the ones on the bottom may be difficult...

A buddy of mine bought a 96' GT last December, but has decided to sell the car due to financial reasons. He also bought the Ford Racing Supercharger kit (M-9066-M461, i think?), but never put it on. It retails from Ford for around $1400 and he offered it to me for $800. It only has the 6psi...

I've been doing a fair amount of work on the stang the last few weeks (ended up returning the xpipe since the headers that match it were not in stock and I added PI cams) and I figure that the tstat hasn't been replaced in a long time. Plus the temperature seems to fluctuate slightly, so why...

Does anyone know where I can order smoked (or dark) fog light covers? They are for a 1997, so it is the "euro style" fog lights. I can't seem to find any; only for the newer stangs. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I plan to change out the trans fluid (original t-45). But all I can find around here is automatic transmission fluid. Is it alright to use that? Or is it different stuff compared to a manual trans fluid?
