The relevant part of my 8.8 setup:
35-spline Strange axles (c-clip eliminators, etc, and had everything came assembled)
35-spline Strange S-trac differential
Strange ABS reluctor wheels, etc
The problem(s) i'm coming across:
When the rear gets hotter after longer drives (or really hard...
I have an (honestly) over-built SRA in my car and I just can't seem to get the driver's side c-clip eliminator to stop leaking. It's all Strange components, 35-spline s-trac dif, 35-spline axles and strange c-clip eliminators. I pulled it all apart this weekend, cleaned it up, trimmed the...
They're been around forever, but I don't really see a lot about them these days. Seems like most people rolling into turbo setups go CG Fab (which are all gorgeous pieces). I quite enjoy my current 2.9 setup, and probably will even more when I pulley down some more, but I just can't shake the...
I don't know that I totally fit in the super modified category still being on a stock motor, but I'm running my 2.9 setup tuned on E85 w/ 3.73's and... my gas mileage is pretty horrendous. I genuinely don't really care if it's universally bad for most, but I just wonder if maybe I have a fuel...
I wish I was out in the Cobra cruising last night instead but ended up running into an unfamiliar redfire Cobra that wanted to play. My personal Cobra would have gotten stomped, but would have been fun haha. Either way had a couple really good runs with him, with this video being the best imo...
Went out and was testing some 60-130's in Mexico and the damn thing was breaking up really hard in 3rd/4th around the 6k mark. I adjusted the plug gap on my TR6's to .025 and it ran/pulled MUCH better after I found 3 of the plugs were gapped pretty loose.
My dyno charts show a little bit of...
I'm likely just going to end up bringing it back to the shop that installed my rear-end setup but i'm just curious what i'm looking at here.
Rear setup:
Strange 35-spline w/ Strange S-trac differential (c-clip eliminators, whole deal).
Welded axle tubes
Team-Z 8.8 welded on reinforcements...
Feels a touch unnecessary with mother thread giving the same update but I know now everyone is crawling through like 12pages of small updates and hardship lol.
I got the Cobra up to Blankenship Tuning and Lee did a great job - super professional and really happy with where it ended up. He uses...
This is going to be a hard one to troubleshoot remotely but i'm trying to gather some other ideas to help these guys out a little. The shop is about 40min from my house and i'm not about to just run down there blindly yet.
I drove the car down this morning to get a new tailpipe made. Not a...
I have an older Gen 2 Whipple 2.9 with the standard inlet that I installed, and I'm hearing mixed things on the install. My unit came with Whipple 2.3 install instructions, which I figured were totally fine because it all seemed similar enough in concept.
My issue is where it comes to the...
Car I purchased came with a 26-spline McLeod clutch with an adjustable pivot but with no firewall adjuster, stock quadrant, etc. The TOB was squealing pretty bad so I had it swapped out for a new FRPP piece and same deal already, it's chirping at me pretty good.
I cranked out the firewall...
So i've gotten a pretty serious group of parts all in over the week and trying to figure out a sequence of events that would allow me to test things along the way without just going ALL of it as once in a big bang approach. So many variables and see that being hard to troubleshoot.
- Whipple...
Similar to the "help me pick a blower" thread. I'm reading through a lot of old threads and didn't know if there was any newer thinking or better options when picking out/installing a wideband for these vehicles. I'd like to get this thing re-tuned and know it's a necessary component -...
My front bumper has very obviously been replaced in the past from really inspecting it more - the fitment and even into some of the paint lines on the car. I'll have to take it off to look for a ford part number to make sure but i'm pretty sure it's a re-production piece.
That leads me to my...
Juuust picked it up last night and have some work cut out for me haha. It's obviously a 2003 Oxford White convertible w/ 75k miles.
Fairly clean for being a 18-19yr old Ford. It's always been on my 'to-own' list since I had a '99 GT for several years that I really enjoyed.
Car came with:

Not crazy picky but do have some desires.
- Please be <= 100k miles and/or have really solid maintenance history if over
- No 10th anniversary cars (sorry, I don't like the interiors)
- Open to all color combos besides any yellows or torch red
Genuinely don't care about the level of...
