List your GT in the paper and online and sell it for as much as you can get for it. Buy a cheap beater (Very cheap is better - I drive a '93 Buick Gran Sport with 190k on the ticker in the winters - cost me $500 and was a steal) , and drive it while you search for your Holy Grail of Cobras...

Well ... it took me a few phonecalls, but I was able to locate a Ford dealer that agreed to look at my car. I had my intake replaced outside of the dealership months ago, and have been waiting for this settlement to recoup most of my money. I *might* break even with the $735 if I can get it...

Wow, 10% off AND it makes you 10hp! :nice: :p

Well .. the bad news just keeps getting worse. While searching for the problem we sprayed some water around the intake, and the car started blowing steam. ... so the gasket isn't set right and is sucking air. Next, to get a better look in there, we pull a plug ... and there is coolant in...

Sad update: Replaced the MAF. Got a decent deal on a fresh one and popped it in instead of attempting to clean the old one. Fired the car up, it still ran rough, and the Check Engine Light came back on. Still giving me the SAME error code too. System too Lean in Bank 1 So far...

Thanks .. I'll check that site out for sure .. will give me something to do on my lunch hour. (Like now :banana: ) Had a pressure-tester brought by last night ... popped off the coolant cap and slapped it on. Pumped it up to about 15psi and let it sit for a few minutes ... never lost...

Well the Ford guy's ran my code and claim it was the O2 sensor, so thats what we replaced. Of course, a $90 part later ... it ran fine for a block, and started rough idle and choking again. I'll mention the dirty MAF or Vaccuum leak and see what the response is. Thanks guys ...

Error Code / Help ease my paranoia ... please P0171 System Too Lean - Bank No. 1 My car has been in storage all winter long. RIGHT before I had it put away, I had to have my Plastic FORD Intake replaced (old one cracked) and I opted for the less pricey, better performance of have a PI...

Any info on the Head Units? I just blew some $$ on an OmniFi DMP1 system (Mp3 setup - neat system) and it looks like it needs an AUX hookup, which I'm sure my 98's stock stereo doesn't have. I *think* the CQ-DF903U has an AUX port, what about the DEH-P550MP? ... and any thoughts on rough...

Wow .. been a while since I was in here. Job hunting has taken up pretty much all of my time. --- Any of you folks know of a place to get my intake (and maybe cams at this point if I can get it done cheap enough while the engine is open) replaced? I'm in overly DIRE need of repair, I...

1998 GT 67,000 miles Just started spooging coolant out of the bolts in the T-stat housing. I can't afford to get it fixed ... called 5 local Ford dealers, and 4 of them told me my car isn't covered ... the 5th laughed and told me there was no recall or TSB .. and refused to even look...

Toss it, save yourself a couple ounces of weight! Trim that 1/4 by .0000141

My '98 GT "chirps" and "squeeks" unless I put at least a tiny bit of pressure on my pedal. I replaced the TOB and it didn't do a damned thing for the noise, either. I'm thinking its got something to do with my cable .. because I can literally tuck my toes under the pedal and lift it up about...

I ran my VIN through there, because I'm kinda' curious what all the info means. It came up "unknown" completely .... giving me absolutely no info what so ever. Kinda' funny .. its Ford's website but my Ford car's VIN doesn't come up. My insurance company has a breakdown in my booklet they...

Thanks .. I'll keep that info on hand. Just got the car out of storage yesterday. Now its out front (hope it doesn't snow anymore - I'm so sick of it). Its sitting on 3 wheels/tires and a donut. I had planned to get a new set of rims (Goodyear tore the chrome off one of my rims with...

I'm over in Troy - used to work in Albany before the b*****s laid me off and sent my job to India. Theres a few Mustangs within a block or two of me here, but don't know any of the owners. Any good shops in the area for getting work done? Gear work for sure? Maybe head/cam/intake work...

I miss my car :( ... http://home.nycap.rr.com/tauron/stangtest.JPG Kept the rear exhaust on it, and those are 17" Roush Chrome ... but I'm thinking of EBaying them and getting a set of 17" Deep Dish black (or argent maybe) Bullits. Chrome peeled off one of the Roush rims about two...

Thing is .. because they "think" or "say" it has a Salvage title due to being a theft recovery, it could actually have been dropped off the 18 wheeler delivering it, rolled into a river, and set on fire ... then fixed. Salvage titles could be amazing deals, or they could be horrible wastes of...

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html Toss some numbers into that ... it'll let you know flat out how "off" your speedo will be :nice:

I had a shipping problem with them as well. Package showed up generally on time, but they had taken my order (couple shiney door sills) and stuffed them into a box that looked like a friggin' truck had hit it. ... actually, maybe one did. Sills were bent and scratched, UPS guy dropped...
