    Wideband Air/Fuel O2 sensor wire run location?

    So last night my friend and I installed a bung in my exhaust for my Innovate LC-1. We installed the bung on the driver side near the other narrow band o2 sensor. This way, it's before my catalytic converters and also somewhat easily removable for calibration time. Anyways, should I run the...

    Canton Surge Tank, is it worth it?

    Anyone have the Canton Surge Tank that goes in place of the battery in the engine compartment? Does this unit actually lower temps? Or does the aluminum just stay hot and keep it warm? Chris

    JBA Shorty Headers

    How much HP and/or Torque do you gain from installing the JBA Smog Legal Shorty Headers on our cars? My car's details are in my sig. I understand it may not be worth the price of the headers, but I am still curious on power gains. Chris

    1998 Contour, Non SVT question!

    Hey guys. I have an 04 Cobra so I think me asking a question about a non SVT Contour is acceptable :) I picked up my Grandma's 1998 Contour V6 with 81000 miles, I think it's an SE. It's got the biggest engine whatever it is. I got it for $1000 for a daily driver which I think is a great deal...

    What is my car worth?

    I'm contemplating selling my car and buying a new car, perhaps a Volkswagen GTI. It's not that I can't afford the car. It's the fact that the car is a target to anyone performance oriented. As a daily driver, I am egged on every day and I can't say no. I'm always doing stupid stuff. That and the...

    10W-30 Castrol Part Synthetic Oil

    So I was given 6 quarts of this stuff. My 04 Cobra has 50k miles. Do you think running it would be okay now that it's tolerances aren't so tight? Or should I just give it to someone else? I would not run this from now on, just for my next oil change to save a few bucks for the baby that is...

    My version of the trunk mounted battery

    Hey guys. I have just completed my trunk mounted battery. I've done a lot of research and came up with my own version. I would like to note that my installation is NHRA compliant. The only thing left of my installation is drilling a hole in the tail light to pass a rod through to the switch on...

    Is a 3000GT a good car?

    My friend has the opportunity to buy a 1991 3000GT with roughly 56,000 miles for $6000. He says it is mint condition, and that the KBB is around $7500 or so for this car. I didn't know much about this car so I thought I would ask you car nuts. Are they reliable? Is anything prone to breaking...

    Front Wheel Bearing Replacement

    The front passenger wheel bearing went out on my car recently. It looks like someone installed the grease cap so that part of the lip got bent in and the grease leaked out. Anyways... I tried searching here on SVTP butg could not find out how to replace the bearing? Does it need machine work...

    Moving to Vermont?

    One of the ideas my Fiancee and I have been throwing around is moving to Vermont in a few years. I have family there, and I just love how beautiful the state is. My concern is the car scene, more importantly the mustang scene. Are there mustang shops or tuners in that state? What about a nearby...

    Stock Predator Tune

    I have a 2004 Cobra. Currently it has a 3.1 pulley, K&N FIPK, stock Cats and a magnaflow catback. I've been running the stock predator pulley tune for a while now and was just wondering if anyone knew how safe they were? I've never had my car's A/F checked... It runs super good and does not ping...

    McLeod versus Centerforce Dual Friction

    I am having a new clutch put in and narrowed it down between the two. I know from experience the Centerforce has an amazingly easy pedal effort. How does the McLeod compare? Whatever clutch I get I just do not want a harder pedal than stock! I am having it put in next week and need to know...

    Overheating - yes I read the other posts.

    My terminator is overheating. I suspect it needs to be burped. I am assuming I take off the metal screw plug out of the top radiator metal piping next to the super charger and either let the water rise or put some in there... The question is, what tool do I use to fit in that hole to unscrew it...

    Different diameter rear tires, okay or not?

    Someone jacked *one* of my cobras rear rims/tires... I ordered a new rim and am going to get a tire for it this weekend. About a month prior I bought new rear tires for my car... I didn't burnout or anything that much. If I use one old tire, and one new tire of the same brand will it be okay? Or...

    I have a 66 mustang in California and obviously they come with black license plates. Mine has blue ones on it though, so it was re-registered somewhere along the road. I have a set of mint black license plates that I picked up from a car show, and they are in the correct sequence for my cars...
