    Just saw this on eBay, and I didn't see it posted here so I thought I'd let you guys know for $150,000, the Kona Mustang can be yours. Beautiful looking car, but that's quite a lot of $$$. eBay

    Procar elites......

    You can but there are the plastic tabs/holes where the headrests go that will still be there. You could have them recovered without the headrests though if you wanted that look full time.

    I shopped around for these seats for quite a while, and you won't find a cheaper and easier place than Summit.

    Should I be able to see an exhaust leak?

    I thought it was strange that the end bolt was different. I'll pull it out as well as the one next to it and compare sizes. Unfortunately I don't have any ATF to test it out, but at least I can tell where the leak is. Can I get a new bolt and reuse the old gasket, or do I need a new gasket once...

    Should I be able to see an exhaust leak?

    So I've got what sounds like an exhaust leak coming from the rear driver's side of my engine. It's a little more "airy" sounding than just a lifter tap, so I think that the header is leaking. When I checked the bolts, the last one was loose, 1/2 to 1 full turns loose. First off, would this be...

    Konis or Opentracker Roller Perches first?

    Thanks guys. It looks like I'll be putting the spring perches on first, giving it a test drive, and then putting the shocks on. I hope they improve the handling as much as everyone says they do.

    Konis or Opentracker Roller Perches first?

    Sorry, just to clarify, I've already purchased both and now I've finally got the time to put them in. I just want to see which one I should put in first to get the best idea of what each one is adding to the handling characteristics. So far it sounds like I should put the roller spring perches...

    Konis or Opentracker Roller Perches first?

    I picked up a set of Konis and a set of Opentracker's roller spring perches, but I want to get an idea of what each one adds to the suspension, so I want to install them one at a time and get a seat of the pants feel after each step. Which one should I install first? Thanks.

    Alternator makes awful screeching sounds??

    It's reading right at about 13.5 volts. I'm wondering what the voltage for the connections are supposed to be. There is a wire that tells the alt when to turn on and I'm wondering if it has the proper voltage. Also, is there any way to tell if a tensioner has gone bad?

    Alternator makes awful screeching sounds??

    Update: So I took it to a shop and had them give me a second opinion. The belt is slipping on the alternator, which is making the screeching sounds. Soo... why is it slipping is my new problem. The tensioner was a little sticky, so we lubed it up but that didn't seem to effect anything...

    Alternator makes awful screeching sounds??

    With a water pump problem, would I notice any change in running temperature? Sorry about the lack of info. The engine has been converted to a serpentine system, so it's a single 6 rib belt. It has a tensioner on it as well, but I'm wondering if these can loose their tension and need to be...

    Alternator makes awful screeching sounds??

    My alternator is making some awful screeching sounds, and I'm stumped. It starts at idle and just gets louder as the RPMs go up. Anything past 2k and it's almost unbearable. I've replaced the alternator and the belt, and still the same thing? What could it be? I'm pretty much digging for help so...

    Noise on startup

    Hmm, good idea checking for a crud filled lifter, I'll take a look and see how they seem. It's tough to diagnose since it only makes the sound for a few seconds on startup, I just want to get it taken care of before it turns into something worse. I'm also going to follow all of this up with an...

    Noise on startup

    Nope, I'm pretty sure it's coming from the valve cover. I'm going to be checking and probably replacing the lifters on Monday, so can anyone tell me what I'm looking for to tell if it is in fact the lifters that have gone bad?

    Noise on startup

    So I've been doing some more reading and was wondering, if the noise seems to be coming from one area, could this be caused by being low on oil, or would that cause a more universal noise? Also, is there any way to check for a bad lifter without pulling the intake and having a look? Thanks.
