My mom has made it a few years in California without cats on her '98 GT by keeping the car registered in Alabama (claiming she's only living in CA temporarily), but this year Alabama changed the law and won't let her renew the tag without proof of residency...sooo, time to put the cats back on...
Mods:
JLT Air Intake
Billetflow 2.76" upper pulley and 4 idler set
Steigmeier Stage IV port on the blower and plenum
MAF Xtender
Predator tune by Ed at Runnin' With The Devil
SPEC Billet Steel Flywheel
SPEC 3+ "Low Pedal Effort" Clutch (3+ disc with a different pressure plate, installed by SPEC)...
Something is leaking, and every time it rains my glove box fills up with water. Anyone seen something like this before? I can't figure out where the water is coming from...
These are real Ford wheels. 17" X 9". Fronts have 275/40/17 Kuhmo Ecsta MX's, rears have 315/35/17 Nitto 555Rs. Not a lot of tread left on the tires, but they could be driven on for a little while. One wheel has a small chip in the edge that isn't even noticeable from more than about 6 feet...
My car sits outside (yeah, I know...) and has gotten some pretty bad water spots on it. What can I do to get rid of them. I tried a clay bar - no luck. Cleaner waxes don't help. Any ideas?
I dynoed my car today, and the ambient temperature inside the dyno booth was 95*. My car made only made 470 rwhp and 445-ish rwtq with a 2.76" upper and a Steggy stage IV port. Do these numbers seem right considering the heat? It was tuned by Ed from RWTD...perfect 11.8-11.9 A/F and 23*...
I'm about to put a set of 18" X 10" Saleens on the back of my car. Anyone know what size wheel spacer would make them sit flush with the fenders? I'm guessing somewhere around 1/8" - 1/4"? I don't want them to stick out, but I don't want them hiding under the fenders like stock wheels either.
I'm trying to decide which wheels I want. Please post pics along with what size wheels/tires. Right now I'm leaning toward Saleens or 18" '03 Cobra style wheels.
With a Steggy stage IV, what pulley combination would you use? I currently have a 2.76" Billetflow w/ idlers and a stock lower. My goal is to get to 500 hp and 500 ft lbs. Can I use the same belt and stock alt pulley with a 2.76" + 2 lb combo and still reach those numbers? If so, I'd like to...
Two stainless steel Borla XR-1's, 2.5" in/out, 5" round case, 10" long. These came out of my "Stinger" catback and had been on the car for 3 years, but they are in great shape. I'd like to get $150 for the pair.

I've heard that I can get the blower ported and will only need a BAP and MafX. Is this true? I'll be using a 2.76" upper and stock lower for now, but I plan on adding a 4 psi lower eventually.
My car was taken apart for a clutch swap (SPEC 3+), and the guys noticed a little problem with my input shaft. Apparently it only takes 500 ft. lbs. and drag radials to put a hurtin' on the stock 10 spline shaft...
A 26 spline is in there now. :coolman:
How would a 100 shot perform with a non-ported blower w/ 2.76" upper? Will I be able to run 10's on slicks? Would I be better served to spend the money on a port and a lower?
What nitrous kit have you guys had the best luck with?
Also, what supporting mods are necessary to run a 100 shot...
As the title says, my mom is moving to California, and she has a few questions about the car laws there. She'll be living inside Yosemite National Park (my step dad just got a job as Assistant General Manager of the Wawona), and she drives a '98 GT with off road exhaust, Eibach springs, and a...
Maybe I'm just shaped weird, but to me it seems like the seat needs to sit about an inch or maybe 2 inches lower than the lowest position for me to be comfortable. Has anyone done this? I want to keep my stock seats and all of the adjustability, I just wonder if there is some way to drop the...
My current setup is a ProChamber and Borla Stingers, and it's just way too loud at cruise. It doesn't really "drone" that bad, the exhaust itself is just so loud that my friend says it actually shakes his gas pedal when he's in the car behind me. What mufflers do you guys recommend that I can...
Does anyone have a video of a Cobra with a ProChamber and Magnaflows? I currently have a ProChamber and Stingers and I'm looking for a muffler that will weld right into my catback and be a good bit quieter than the Borla XR-1 mufflers.
H&R race springs, stock top isolators, no bottom isolators. Also installed MM c/c plates and a BF IRS brace.
Here are a couple quick pictures I took outside my apartment this afternoon:
