Looking to buy a low mileage (under 35k) Evo IX in the PA or tri-state area. Very serious buyer. Feel free to send me a PM with any info. Thank you! -Justin

My brother recently picked up a really nice 95 gt with a ford racing 306/ full bolt-ons. Puts 340 to the ground and sounds mean. Anyway, ever since he got the car, 3rd gear has been giving us an issue. I would guess that 1 in every 20 or 30 shifts into 3rd gear would cause the car to act as if...

Here's a question for all you troubleshooters: Took the car out for a spin today. Everything seemed fine until the car began stalling out every time I hit the brakes hard directly after boost. For example, if I did a little pull and immediately hit the brakes for an upcoming red light, the...

I recently burned out a fog light bulb and want to replace it. I bought the car with an aftermarket HID kit from Xentec. I pulled out the bulb and on the attached wires is a label reading "H10/9245-BL-010111". I searched online for a replacement and literally found nothing. And it appears...

Hi, I had a fog light bulb go out on the car and was wondering what the simplest way of replacing it is? It looks pretty cramped from what I can tell and I don't have access to a lift. Thanks!

For you problem solvers out there, I have one for you. I took the car for a spin today and it was running great. I'm loving the ported blower and 4# lower. Anyway, I stopped to pick up some things from the store, and when I tried to start it up again, it turned over, ran for 2 seconds, and...

Sorry for the useless post, but can someone direct me to the installation instructions for the 170 * thermostat? I know it's on here somewhere but I just can't seem to find it again. Much appreciated!

Hey guys, Quick question regarding heat soak and pulling timing... I just got back from the dyno and the car put down 501/485 at ~ 16psi. It was a 2+ hour trip there, the car did a few pulls on the rollers and the trip home was 2+ hours. It was around 90 degrees outside the entire time...

I'm having a 4 lb lower put on the car and plan on getting it dyno tuned in a few weeks. As long as the car stays out of boost, I should be able to drive safely to the dyno shop, correct? Thanks in advance guys.

So I recently had my car on the dyno with the mods in my sig and it put down some disappointing numbers. Even with a Posi Race port, it made just 482/446.....max boost was only 12.5 - 12.8 psi if I can remember correctly. I'll be putting on a 4# lower next month, but in the meantime, I've been...

Hey, I read through some of the belt sizing posts and wanted to see if some of you guys with experience can help me pick the right size. My current belt is a 75.6'' Dayco, which I'm assuming won't work for my future setup. The car currently has a 2.8 upper, an auxiliary idler, and 3-90mm...

I recently had my posi ported cobra dyno tuned and didn't hit the numbers I expected. She put down 482/447 at just under 13 psi. I'm thinking that maybe my catless headers/h-pipe is keeping the boost on the low side. The tuner recommended a lower pulley to help the blower spin a little bit more...

Hey guys, Finally got my ported 03 cobra tuned yesterday. Before the tune, I was running an email base map for the mods (which include a BAP). I noticed that when shifting at WOT, there would be a split second hesitation and boost drop for a split second, then the car would build power and...

Anyone have recommendations for a good tuner in the Eastern half of PA?

I'd like to preface this by saying that this is the most frustrating car-related thing I've ever dealt with and if anyone could lend me some of their knowledge I would be more than appreciative. It all started this February. While in 3rd gear under boost (about 4k rpm), I heard and felt...
