For those that fit the 315's on the rear. Did you have to lose or flip the quad shocks?

Might be dating myself but my fav. of all time is The Outlaw Josey Wales FTW! "Dyin' ain't much of a living boy."

GT v S2000 A good friend has a stock S2000 (2L). We have raced over twenty times on the local track before it closed. My stock 04GT 5-spd always wins by .3-.4. The S2000 is a real nice car though it is made for seriously skinny people.

Another take on Tech Jobs My dad worker for forty years at a newspaper company (union job, high school education). Went from setting lead type to doing graphic layouts on a mac. He did a five year apprenticeship to learn to set lead type and the pay scale reflected that. He took a two week...

anyone?

The parts are new. I agree with you about buying used suspension parts. All the posts I've read here, at the Corral, and at Corner-Carvers say the MM stuff is good so I feel comfortable with the quality of the pieces and that they will work as intended. What I'm a little hesitant about is...

Might be able to get one for a good price for an 04GT. I know feel is very subjective, but how much stiffer is the ride. For reference, I have ridden in an S2000, G35, C5, and Boxster S (all stock). I consider the ride in these cars firm and not too stiff. Can anyone with the MM starter kit...

Are there identifying marks/part numbers on the Bullitt springs and shocks. I was thinking of buying some used ones but it occurred to me I wouldn't be able to distinguish them from any other shocks/struts. Thanks

$3.45/gal for 92 oct. Hawaii FTW!! Anybody top that?

Clarification Just to clarify, the leak was on/near the firewall, not on the transmission tunnel itself. I reread the original post. I also thought it was those black grommets on the bottom of the car. Hope this helps.

I had the exact same problem. It was coming from some part of my AC/heater that's located near/on the passenger-side firewall. Ford tech says he's seen it a few times. They had to take the dash off to get at it. The tech told me they siliconed something. I'm waiting for it to leak again. ...

Thanks for the response. I'll just live with it then.

I was changing the rear diff. cover the other day (I think someone at the stealership used a jack there and folded the lip over causing a leak) and while the car was up I spun the rear wheels and noticed a scraping sound coming from the brake area. I don't know for certain but it sounds like...

Thanks for the responses. I'm not sure there are any dyno's in my area. I'll try the higher octane at the track although the car runs better on the street on 87.

Took my car to the track for the first time and made a half-dozen passes. Through the last part of the track I hear what sounds like bad detonation from about 5000rpm and up. It doesn't happen in first and second gear and only at the top end of the track. It doesn't happen when I rev it in...

I just changed my trans fluid this weekend to four quarts of RP Synchromax. The trans appears to shift easier and it is definitely quieter. I only did 14k but the fluid looked dirty compared to the new fluid. Of course I don't know what the existing fluid looked like when it was new; the RP...

I have a bone stock 04 GT that only gets 14 mpg regardless of how I drive. I do drive in traffic a lot but this seems a little low compared to what other guys have posted. I notice the smell of gas when I start the car with the windows open. Is this normal? Is there anything I can check...

Thanks for the repsonses Thanks for the responses, Blue70's in particular. The Tremec service bulletin's point about the "shift stops" is contrary to the ads for the shifters that make a big selling point about the shift stops. I've read in other threads that one of the main benefits of an...

I just bought a used 2004 GT (5speed) and want to throw an aftermarket shifter in but I'm concerned about voiding the warranty. The thread about transmission problems is troubling. If my trans starts acting up will Ford blame it on the shifter? I looked at the warranty but its not clear what...
