I will post better and more pics in a couple days once the car gets detailed. These were taken before it went into storage, naturally its not looking its best at the moment.
Mods are:
2.9 upper, 6# lower, Billetflow idlers, 60# injectors, BAP, SCT MAF, SCT X-cal2, ported blower, polished...
2003 Sonic Blue Vert, Massachusetts, 67k, $16k
As the title states, car was bought brand new in 2004 and driven daily until now. Adult owned, only mods are a 2.8 upper, magnaflow catback and cold air intake. Title in hand, call with any questions. The ABS light is on right now and was told it...
Factory would be preferred, but if all I can find is an aftermarket catted pipe then that would be fine. Let me know what you have, just need to find something to pass inspection. Doesn't have to be local if we can figure out a good way to ship it...
Ok, I'm going to go back to my shop tonight to take some video of the play in my clutch fork, but first things first.
The RXT came assembled with the flywheel on it. I took the flywheel off and the 6 pressure plate nuts. Was I also supposed to take the 'floater ring' nuts off and re-torque...
I've been searching for 4 days on and off, reading a lot or responses but it seems like there are a lot more clutches available now than there were when the posts were made up. I'm trying to decide between:
Mcleod RXT
Centerforce DYAD
Spec 3+
Spec twin disc? Don't see any responses on...
Just put on my factory H-Pipe to get a sticker and liked my car 10x better immediately. I want to keep it this way but has anyone had any experience with heat issues or anything related to factory cats still being there? And should the car be retuned?
Car made about 510, 2.8 upper, 6# lower...
So I have this belt noise I can't get rid of. I have swapped all the upper idlers, the idler down by the blower, alternator seems fine. It goes away with a new belt, comes back in about 2 weeks and just gets really bad. The belts never shred just chirp when they glaze over. I used to get...
This is actually on my dad's 03. The other day he was driving normal, heard a boom and turns out the heater core hose on the passenger side of the heater core just blew off. It broke the quick disconnect and melted the connector a little bit.
So I replaced the hose, bled the system and drove...
I've been searching...there are so many threads its overwhelming an I can't find the answer.
I would be putting them in with all stock isolaters to just drop the car a fraction.
That being said, I really don't want the car to bounce at all...or I won't do it. Any input? Will it still ride...
This thing is awesome but I have no room for it, works perfect. I want $200 and you would have to pick it up, I don't have a truck. I saw them on ebay for like $600 for the exact same one. You can't tell in the pictures because of the flash but there is a fluorescent light behind the pepsi logo...
If anyone has 4 matching tires kicking around let me know. Just checking before I order some brand new ones for my dads car. Or if a couple people have two F1s each or something, maybe I can make a set from here and there.
I always said this would be a hack and I'd never do it, but I saw a friends 03 with them and realized how great it was to actually see where you were driving, so I did it. I got the 6000k Bi-Xenons so I still have high beams. I should have shot an engine bay pic but the ballasts are hidden and...
I'm looking for the correct factory alignment specs or a link to the Ford TSB. I've been searching and can't find crap. I was doing an alignment yesterday and I'm so far off from what the machine says is spec, and I don't even know if the Hunter numbers are correct. The car is stock suspension...
I never got to see them, paint can fell off a shelf and got all over a ton of stuff, one of which were the instructions making them useless. If someone could scan and email them to me...that would be killer.

Not that people don't know by now...but putting in another good word for Pete's place. Got me in and straightened the car out in no time. Huge difference from when I went in to when he was finished.
I haven't even gotten to try it out yet because of the rain...but on paper there is gonna be a crazy difference. I bought the car a while ago and it had a tune from JDM which was garbage...first pull it made 475 and they claimed their tune had made 526. The A/F from the pull with the JDM tune...
I was told the Kenne Bell one was made by MSD and that they were both identical...so now I have the MSD one sitting here because the Kenne Bell was on back order. It doesn't have a knob to adjust it that easily, it has a screw on the side of the box and there is no way to know what it will be...
I'm working on getting it in a good video clip but I'll try and explain, I'm going back to the dyno next week and I want to get this straightened out because the problem happens at idle and you can feel it while driving steady around 25-2700. The skip did not show anything on the dyno, or on a...
