So my car is grinding into 3rd above 5k rpms. Took it to a recommended dealer. They want nothing to do with the car. So I drove an hour to a branch of the dealership I bought it from. They are going to warranty it even with mods. I asked if they would be willing to throw in a new clutch and...
My 2012 GT decided to start giving me fits. I had it at the dealership (7500 miles on the clock) for 2nd gear lock out, occasional 3rd gear grinding from second, and occasional 5th gear going up and down shifts. They of course could not reproduce it. So I put in a whiteline insert and called it...
A buddy and I are about 3 hours into my JBA LT install and have all the stock hardware out. We have the car on ramps in the back and stands in the front. K member is not dropped and we dont plan to. I now have questions on what to do as we reinstall everything.
First is the gaskets. I was...
Car is finally going under the knife for the header install. I'm dropping the K member. My question is where are all of you that drop the K member supporting the car in the front? I use the K member as my jack points. If it's dropped how do I keep the car in the air to work on it?
I put in my BMR springs, uca and mount, la and relos, panhard, Strange struts, and viking shocks. Also had my tubes welded. My question is how tight should my top shock nuts be. I have a rattle coming from the passenger side and I'm fairly sure it's the shock isn't tight on the top. Looking for...
So today I decided to see how plasti dip would work on plastic. I taped off part of my new and uninstalled saleen grill and when to town. I was happy with the end results:
Thats with 2 coats black and 2 coats of glossifier. Not a bad look IMHO.
Then I needed to remove it so I could get a...
i want to grab some etorx ratching end wrenches before I tackle my header install. What size do I need? Any particular brand that works best? Anything else I need to know? Just want to be as prepared as possible. I want a smooth install. I know its time consuming.
I have been pondering the idea of dipping my textured plastic parts flat black. Has anyone tried it? My main concern is that it won't come back off if I decide I don't like it or I want to change it up. Opinions?
Since this is my first car that has had its suspension really played with, I dont know much. I see I need grease for the poly bushings in my BMR stuff. What are the recommendations from you all for a good grease?
Anyone have varitune axle backs? Maybe headers and an orx/h? Minus resonators? I think I want them, But I want to hear them without resonators. But if anyone has them and a video can u post please?
So I noticed when I opened up my gt500 strut mount there is an arrow on them. I am assuming it should point to the front of the car? I also read that if it points to the motor you can gain some negative camber. Is this true?
Anyone else think a sticky where everyone can post their exhaust set ups and videos would be a good idea? I am constantly looking for videos to help me make up my mind on what I want to buy for exhaust. A sticky with multiple set ups in one easy to find area would be great. Anyone with me?
I bought my 12 used in november last year with basicly 6400 miles after my lengthy test drive. It now sits in hibernation with 7045 on the clock. I have been working on my mod list every since I parked it. Today I ordered my first round of mods. Damn mod bugs bite me hard. Not real fond of how...
Are there any aftermarket 3" over axle pipes on the market? I want to run full 3". I'm leaning towards the MBRP headers and o/r h pipe but I don't want their axle back. So I'm looking for 3" over axle pipes to run to another axle back. Any suggestions? Car will be NA for a while.
Not sure I I should be here or the sale section but....
Im looking at a bone stock 12 GT Premium, 400a with comfort package, 6m, 3.31 gears. No other options. Car has 6366 miles. Im trying to see what the crowd has to say on a price. I know what they want, but is it worth the selling price of...
Up for sale is my 2001 Ford SVT F-150 Lightning #2458 of 6381.I have hauled quads and a 20 foot boat with it without issues. Its reliable and has no mechanical issues at all. Its ready to drive and even has brand new tires with less than 100 miles on them.
So lets get to the good stuff...
The feeler is to see what everyone thinks would be a good price and to guage interest on the possible sale of my L.
What I have is an 01 Lightning, Red, #2458 of 6381
12.68 @ 108.88 is the best time it has put down in the 1/4 and pulls 1.9x 60'. Normally runs 12.72-12.74 in decent air with...
As gay as this might sound, I was wondering if anyone has had a tune, or if it can me done with a tune, the cam timing changed for a rough loping idle. seems to me this should be completely possible with changing the LSA. just something I have been kicking around. Thought I would ask.

Since my back bumper is rusting and has bubbles under the paint, i figure i will replace it with a roll pan. I would like to see a few of them and how they work with the rest of the truck before I make a purchase. show me the pics please.
Im on the fence. I think I want a Snow Meth kit, but I am not sure. I still see pretty high heat numbers even after my port (close to 150 on the strip). But on top of that I want the power. I know I can run more timing and less fuel with meth. But the question is will I really gain all that...
Ok, last year I had set my best time and 60ft (12.74 @ 106.58 and 1.83 second 60 foot). Today I went to the track with my stage 4 stiegemeier port and 28" slicks. I ran .2 faster than my stock time. I was stuck in the 13.4x at 103.x. 6 runs, all with cool down of about 20 minutes between runs...
So I finally got off my arse and tore down the L. Sent the Eaton to Stieg for a Stage 4 port. While down I cleaned the IC which had never been touched. 46k miles of teflon and oil, yum. 6 24oz cans of carb clean did not even clean it all out. Had to throw it in the tub and use alky, then dawn...
