Hi all, After many miles of fun, and maybe too much track , I broke a rod ending with a hole in the side of the block :(. I'm now searching for a spare short block , stock , complete with crankshaft , pistons and connecting rods . My S197 is a MY2006 I intend to remove the whipple...

Same problem here with strut mounts - replaced with oem and then replaced AGAIN with steeda heavy duty - problem solved Check also the A-arms for cracks on the stamped steel And tighten the front swaybar these last two are maybe a bit extreme , but don't underestimate a clunk . Just...

I bought the chilton manual for the stang and is very helpful for the home mechanic . Some tips are really valuable ! Just my 02 Steel

Wow ! thanks for the advice !! Mine seems to leak on the passenger side , when I drive in heavy rain . When the car is sitting under same heavy rain I have no leaks , so it must be linked to movement/tyres etc : I'll inspect the tyrewells and grommets . Good point to remove the wheel :nice...

No issue here after more than a year . Every 6 months I have to tighten the bolts on bmr front swaybar , another matter but same issue I think . Hope you can fix your problem Steel

My trunk is a swimming pool I got water near the fuel pump relays in trunk lot of moisture coming up to rear window a big mess still not able to find where it comes in , but it seems worse when moving under heavy rain : I read all f***ing threads and tsb here and on bradbarnett on leak...

+1 for the tensioner here I run the stock one with no issues for a year , just some slip on trackdays . I replaced recently with the HD steeda , for I'm planning some course racing this spring . Check your tensioner , especially the stop - my whipple needed the stopper to be chipped away...

I do it often , sometimes even taking the wrong way to get to destination just to check new roads or simply to drive some more ... 35k miles together and this car is fantastic as it was in the first weeks of ownership . I simply cannot drive other cars and say I'm driving :rolleyes:

i'm not an expert , but since it starts run roughly dies it seems to me you have a fuel pressure problem let us know if you have a laptop and a tuner you can datalog easyly hope it helps Steel

I also opted for BMR all around (see sig) , taken at stangsuspension.com ; they are great on tracks and course racing . This month I changed the springs only and switched to the ford racink K , and I'm very happy - less extreme than bmr on bumpy roads and so more streatable . I have still to...

Ok , so good luck with your choice :nice: I would suggest you to consider adjustable dampers so you can set them on the soft mode for DD and harden them when you go on atwisty road or track . I'm very happy with the tokiko , especially because I bought the rear extensions for adjustment that...

I do heel and toe at almost every downshift :D I learned it roadracing and simply cannot avoid doing it - driving stick with heel and toe is soooo smooooth :nice: Steel

I had the bmr lowering kit (see sig) for over a year : very good for roadracing and not too harsh for a DD if I set the tokiko dampers to the softest mode . Two weeks ago I changed the springs again to the ford racing K : not tested on the track yet , but I can say that these are less stiff...

The whine of the supercharger and the snarl of the magnaflow are too much for the leftlane sleepers here :nice:

well , in fact I have no problems in having some good time on sunday cleaning the intake :nice: Anyway , I also have a moroso oil separator - I put it online after the whipple install and I'm happy about it :rolleyes: Steel

How often do you clean the butterflies on your stang ? I noticed it is mandatory for a good idle to clean the butterflies once a year with cai and now with the S/C I have to clean them every 8 months or so . Just curious :nice:

If the resistor is ok , you may want to check the belt and the tensioner good luck and let us know Steel

I forgot : no e-brake relocation necessary for me . Maybe you should ask to Leonard or Charity for some info - they gave me very good support when I made my purchase .

i'm lowered 1,5" front and 1,75" rear , no problems ever , very nice shaft for me . for DD and roadracing just my 02 Steel

I wash mine in a big washing machine , no problems in 3 years . I use standard cleaning products , and set the temp medium , hope it helps Steel
