So I've been doing some research, and have really come to a wall when deciding which coil packs to go with. My top two choices are the granatelli hot street (42000 volts) or the ford racing (20000). I've been told that nothing is better than ford parts but I'm sure granatelli has a reputation to...

Ok so I thought for the longest that my driver side mount was broken. I got under it while doing some routine maintenence, and saw that there were no motor mount bolts from the mount to the block.. after looking around I saw that two of the bolts were just missing as if someone previously didn't...

I put h&r ss coupe springs on my vert with the stock isos all the way around. The car looks good but sits way too low in the back. I've torn up my catback and rear tire from rubbing. Do you think the maximum motorsports isos will raise it up more than the stockers? I hope so as I dont want to...

So, six months ago, i pulled my dash back, and changed my heater core because when on, the heater smelled of coolant and the carpet was wet. after changing it, the smell and wetness went away. I replaced it with a heater core from oreillys and even had it tested to make sure it was good because...

anyone know of any place that will widen my factory 17's? i know i "should" buy aftermarket wheels, but i like the look of my white stockers, and think it would be prety sweet to have a stock wheel that is 10-10.5 inch wide.. thanks

i just changed my heater core.. (not as much of a pita as i thought) and now im changing my locked up compressor.. to get the warranty on my compressor, i have to change the orifice tube, and the accumulator.. cool, except i dont know how to change (or even know where to locate) the orifice...

i know i have a leaking heater core, so could that cause the (sucking through a straw) sound.. it sounds like its coming from the back of the engine, towards the intake, its like a small burp when i turn the car off.. and a bit of more bad news relating to not being able to have nice things, 6...

Ok so i put my bbk o/r x on and ive driven like 70 miles with no mil eliminators and still no check engine light.. It has a very slight exhaust leak, but runs fantastic.. Only at idle,it sounds like it has a slight miss.. Like a little hiccup every once in a while.. Not constant.. Any clues...

what is the best practice for changing the heater core? after that heater hose broke on me the other day, everytime i turn the heater on it smells like coolant.. i had the gf feel thecarpet while i was drivingand it was wet.. annoyed and tired of this shit

hey is it the norm for that small curvey heater hose to keep breaking? it looks like the bolt that holds the heater core in that points outside, is rubbing it and eventually breaking it... and both times the heater hose broke, i was IN the gas fairly hard.. any advice? or does anyone else have...
