I check week to week and we need more S197 owners/contributors. I have posted a few HOW-TO's and don't get a lot of response. Personally, I love my S197 and the cool mods I have done and availability of those mods. I actually ran out of mods (I don't want tacky and I don't need to have a track...

You have a 2014 so look at Strut tower mounts and lower control arms. On the S197's (like mine) some people reported clunks and creaks. I never had it but I did replace mine with the GT500 strut tower mounts and GT500 lower control arms. Now for the bad news. On the 2005 to 2010, the strut mount...

No problem....mine has been a labor of love the past year ...funny I have owned it since day one in 2008 and other than maintenance and keeping it clean, I did nothing. Then the bug bit and I went balls out...LOL Next up will be Supercharger One piece drive shaft Perhaps the gears from the...

Nice work !

Umm...you are not using a 3 prong puller ? You are talking about the crankshaft pulley yes? You should not have to us any bolts except the factory one on a three prong and us that As to torque specs, the crankshaft pulley should be torqued to 66 ft lbs, then loosen 1 full turn, then torque to...

FYI...obviously I have done more than what I listed above but feel free to ask...oops ..and I forgot to answer ...I have had ZERO issues with my top....just check it out , make sure it all works....You hit he button, it drops all four windows. and top goes down Up, same thing if they were up -...

SilentKnight - YES you should - Little known fact about the S197 mustangs ..first the 2005 - 2009's have some of the highest production numbers EVER even in the face of the economic crash. The S197 had the MOST models of any Mustang era (I believe it was 87 unique models). Also in terms of...

So after years of the PITA prop rod, I decided to go with Hood list risers. I had read some pro's and cons on some brands but I decided not to save $30 and go with a better brand/style. Bought the Redline Quicklift ELITE kit from American Muscle and could not be more pleased. Literally 5...

sorry I couldn't help but hey...I am a search guru..LOL....Put in the exact outer dimensions like this and try 9x3 Mustang louvers hood.. or 8x2 1/2 hood louvers for mustang That may work...but if not, call American Muscle...give them the dimensions and they may just know how to find...

this one is close but as you can see..just a tad different by the point on the front ..but check those louvers http://www.cervinis.com/05-09mustang-ram-air-hood-with-louvers.html

Have you checked with Cervani? The problem is there are a MILLION hood makers. Some good, some bad. check if these are a match http://www.cervinis.com/05-09mustang-louver-hood-inserts.html

Always go with LEAST intensive first. Now the best way would be if it could be truly diagnosed. But barring that the simplest is the VCT solenoids. You don't have to remove the valve covers (like I did) because you can do the following: Remove the electrical connector from the VCT Pry up the...

BTW...for those that didn't know Cerama coating is NOT just a topical shield. It actually works and embeds in your clear coat so it is not just a shell. Doing this process WILL preserve your clear and save you a ton on not having to wax. In fact you should NOT wax. Want to add shine? They make...

If you know anything about cerama coating you will hear the cries of "Its only good on new cars" or you "must have perfect paint". Only the second part is half true. I have done 2 vehicles myself now and its the best thing I ever did. Each in a different condition. Now, for my 9 year old...

If you want to boost the car then supercharge vs turbo. Turbo is going to kick in mid-range to upper (it has to build boost). That's NOT what the 4.6L 3V needs. Supercharger gives the low end power all the way through the curve....and THAT sir is what will give you the chill and thrill. Plus a...

Cam Phaser can tick also as well as the VCT Solenoid Here is what the cam phaser could sound like (ignore that its a 5.4 3v..same difference) View: https://youtu.be/-YFOxIZEWZM

By the way..if you are going to change the cams, do yourself a favor while you have you covers off. Change your VCT solenoids as preventive maintenance..$59 or less for the pair View: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K8BN8QO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Great writeup on the how-to. There are also some great videos on this. I have been tempted myself - so what's stopping me? I have already had the covers off and done a bunch of stuff...just hate the disconnecting and maneuvering process (especially on the passenger side) I know, call me lazy...

There are some things that don't add horsepower, may not be sexy but I tell you this; if you value your engine, you need an oil catch can. I only wish I knew about this from day one. Normally, on factory setups, your PCV exhausts oil vapor which is directed to the intake manifold for re-burning...

IN SUMMARY AND ADDITIONAL NOTE When I was complete I planned on going to a performance shop for the alignment. I knew I was off a bit (toed out) and I attribute this to the different Tie rod end style. I also made sure I supplied them with Eibach camber bolts which they said was great I did...
