    Borla stinger tailpipes not aligned and touching

    So the Tip I have is to put a roll of electrical tape vertical between the exhaust pipes under the diff when you go to tighten the catback to the Mid-Pipe flanges. then remove the electrical tape roll and see if it looks good to you. i remember when my borla stinger was burning my gas tank...

    Another Terminator Clone Build Thread

    Hey, don't worry about those 2 brackets. They don't remind me of any part on my mustang when i did my 03 cobra swap. They don't have ford part numbers either. The bolts don't look factory either. They belong in the trash can so you can focus on getting your car running again. What i learned...

    Normal STFT high LTFT

    i have an idea on where the engine could be getting a vacuum leak. i did some EVAP repairs on my cobra a year ago. First i replaced the EVAP Purge valve and i still had a evap small leak code, so then i replaced my EVAP vent valve on the Charcoal canister. i got the code to go away after that...

    Trying to diagnose a ticking sound

    I think you can drive the car with the ticking noise and change the Engine Oil more often, i would not run the additive to help with the Ticking. you would want to run the additive to a motor that runs good. If you want your car to run perfect and enjoy driving it without the noise, you are...

    G35 key won’t turn

    a quick little search and i came up with " G35 immobilizer control unit ". its a black box with a ring around it. it installs on the ingintion switch , then you need to reprogram all the keys to get the car to start.

    G35 key won’t turn

    there is a sensor around the ignition switch for the keyless system, so get that part replaced with a new one, then tow it to the dealer to have the keys reprogrammed to the new sensors for the keyless. if the water sprayed down the passenger side of the dash, your car will need a new IPDM and...

    Who's ported Eaton is this, any way to tell?

    looks like a STEIG Stage 5, basically the max porting that can be done. serial 169006. that is a very good porting job. with a 2.76 pulley on the front you're looking at about 12-13 PSI with the stock lower.

    you know when you pop the hood and look at the engine i can hear it missing on one cylinder, its not ticking in the engine bay its misfiring. i hope the muffler does have a loose weld in the baffles. check the spark plugs are all tight, then pull the mid-pipe and start it up with just the...
