Well, I did it. I cut 1 full coil off the back, and 3/4 off the front. I don't want it too low. It looks perfect. It's almost level, The front is about 1/2 finger lower than the back. The car handles amazingly awesome. It feels like a race car around corners. The ride is a bit stiffer...
The search just brings up posts, but the pics from the posts in the database don't come up, so can somebody post pics on the compucar nitrous in a bad setup. Trunk, in car, engine. Thanks.
I have heard from a fast semi-local car driver that the Kuhmo Ecsta V700's were very good tires for traction. In comparison with the BFG's drags, and nitto 555R's. Has anybody used these as a drag tire. The guy said they hook like an ET Street when heated properly.Link to tires
For all of you that have done it, how much have you cut off? do you need to get caster/camber plates? What did you use to cut the springs? Are you still using all other stock pieces? Thanks is advance.
I was driving to work this morning, cruising at 45 in 4th gear, and I decided to give it about 1/2 throttle to increase speed a bit. All of the sudden the car just shuts off. I get off the gas, and it fires back up again. WTF just happened. I was scared to give it gas again, but I did and...
Ever since I got my new axles and hubs from the dealer under warranty to fix the pop/tink I haven't had any wheel hop.:shrug: Maybe it's just because the streets are so hot now a days in Fl. Can anyone else say the same?
I took my car in for a noise that the clutch makes. I believe it to be the TOB. it's an intermittent noise and it sounds like a noisy bearing spinning. it does it when the clutch is engaged, if I touch the pedal ever so slightly or all the way it goes away. The dealer told me it was the...
This was when I had my pulley and chip off for warranty work. I only had mac prochamber, borla catback, and K&n intake.
The TA has mods in video. He runs 12.44 @ 112.

Well after going to the dealer, and them not being able to verify the noise. I went to a different dealer who also couldn't hear it. So, I took their road manager for a ride, and got it to tink/pop right away over and over again. He finally heard it. I asked what he thinks it could be and he...
I took my car in for the tink, and gave them a printout of all the posts and how people got it fixed, and how it was a serious problem. They couldn't verify the noise, so they couldn't fix it. They called ford, and ford said that was not a known fix for any known problem, and that some amount...
and it's not that I have gotten used to the power. The car still hits hard off the initial hit, but it takes longer to pull to redline. and it feels slower. It doesn't even lose traction in first all the time. The only things since my last dyno of the numbers in my sig, were removal of the...
I have read about the two different types of pop/tinks. My car does it when I am turning incline/decline/flat surface. It also tinks when I let off the gas sometimes in first, and then touch the gas again. I have the TSB for the tink of turning on an incline. can someone give me the TSB for...
I took my car to the dealer because of a ticking sound. They say that it's not the engine, but my exhaust that is making the sound. Any idea how I could fix that annoying tick from the exhaust. Anyone else have the same problem.
I am taking my car into the dealer tomorrow for the tick. I am going to put my pulley cover back on. The dealer around here that is mod friendly already saw the car with nitrous so I can't go to them. I took the nitrous out, and I am going to a different dealer. Will most dealers check for a...
I was taking out all the wiring from the window switch and tach adapter. Me and wiring/electronics don't go together to well as I don't have much experience. Stupidly I just took out all the wires connected to the two. Now My car won't fire up. The starter is working, but it won't fire. I...

I just got hit in the parking lot of the gym about 1 month ago. Today I was at the beach, and it got hit again. One is on the passenger rear bumper, and the new one is the drivers side front bumper. It pisses me off so much, and both people just rode away without a note or anything.
Well, I finally got my nitrous put in and tuned. I am currently running a 50 dry shot. After reading everyone elses results. I was expecting low 500's with hp, and high 500's tq.

tq - 525

Well, after learning never to race a 600 from a stop anymore, I wanted to have a shot from a roll. I met a guy with a new GSX-R 600 with simple mods that put 115 to the rear wheel. We lined up and went from a 60 mph roll. I had the car in third, and I was thinking we would go from 65 or a...
Since the search function is still down. What is the part number for a gates belt that I should use with the 2.80 pulley, and 100 mm idler? I went today, and bought one, but I got one that is too narrow. Only seven ribs. It says 74 1/8, but it is as long as my 73.5 in belt. the part number...
