Any videos of it? My upper idler pulley used to tick at higher throttle openings but around 2k rpm. I figured mine was a totally random occurance so its doubtful its that but may be something to check. Also, i now have 168k miles on my motor and nothing but an occasional pinging here at full...

My buddy used to own a white export cobra. Most of them seem to be in white with tan leather, strangely. I wouldnt say they are common, but there are a few out here.

I dont believe im at that severity right now. I have been, and did use their services, however i felt guilty and that i didnt need to be taking up time that would be better suited to someone else.

Im a little too old to be considered for the military. I think you have to be under 28 before you start basic. I turned 28 last year so its a no go for me. Plan B, this is a good point about jobs being outsourced, i hadnt considered this. Should the trade school option not be feasible, one of...

My point exactly. Go meet a girl and end up telling her i live in my fathers box room? Way i see it is id rather fix me first than just chase tail. Plus, knockbacks wouldnt exactly welcome right now.

Dont get me started on that, either

I am applying for trade school positions as an electrician and strangely, i did a lot of work as an "electricians mate" (unqualified electrician with work signed off by someone qualified) for two years while i was supposed to be going to college. I applied for a few positions in december to gain...

Thanks for the replies guys. Am i doing everything i can to move forward? No. I mean, im making the right steps im just struggling with execution at present. I put a ton of weight on (around 60lbs) a couple years back and havent shifted it yet, even with a gym pass which i pay monthly for. I...

Hey guys. Im in the middle of a pretty difficult situation in my life right now and i could do with some help. Since i left school i had been in a sales based career. Some of it was retail, some car sales experience. In 2011 my mother passed away, and it hit me pretty hard. I was 23 when i...

I'm travelling to FL in October and have been thinking of treating my car to a short runner. I have heard about the loss of low end torque with one but I'm thinking of this combo. I currently have 4.10 gears, flow master cat back and k&n drop in filter on the stock intake pipework. I am...

This should be a fun thread. What has failed on your Ford and why? Be sure to note what model, year, mileage and stock or modified. I'll go first. My car has 156,000 miles. Owned for 10 years. Things that have broke are; Drivers window regulator. 2nd gear synchro on the t45. (Drag...

Looking to see pics of an installed free play mod. I am looking to make one of my own but in honesty I'm lost without pictures of how to install it and when its installed. Neill

Hey guys. I have been reading up a little about the pros and pitfalls of certain suspension components on our cars, trying to get a more predictable setup by modifying properly rather than throwing random parts at it that won't work together. From what I have read, a lot of the...

Today I swapped out my stock 98 mirrors for a set of export folding mirrors. Straight trade. Great upgrade to the exterior obviously but the shape of the mirrors is more suited to the car imo. For those who don't know what they are, they are 03 cobra style folding mirrors designed for the...
