I was making a right turn on to a driveway and a heard a loud BANG noise come from my rear suspension. After getting out to take a look at what had happened I noticed, near the edge of the driveway, my rear sway bar bushing. It had snapped around the centre of the ring. My car is parked...

Just out of curiosity... What kind of oil do you use in your CSVT? Where do your idle RPMs sit? :shrug:

Some :cuss: chick rode her bike right into my car and left me with a big dent in my right front corner panel. Then she got up and rode away really quickly :loser: . The dent is basically a circle with no creases, so it looks easy to bang out. How hard is it to remove a corner panel from the...

Does Ford or any aftermarket company make a locking gas cap? Fuel theifs seem to be on the rise. I don't want any other car tasting the sweet 94 octane that I purchased for my rocket. :nonono: :burnout:

This message is mainly directed towards RTSabler51 because he seems to know a lot about clutch chatter. But anyone with advice is welcome to give suggestions. In February of this year I had a SPEC stage 2 clutch and a Fidanza flywheel installed. Ever since then, the clutch has not stopped...

I bought one of those "Superchips" off someone else with an SVT for a cheap price. Proabably beacause as far as chips go, superchip probably isn't the greatest. Anyways, until I decide to get a better one, I want to try installing this one. I found the computer located under the passenger...

I've been shopping around for a good exhaust setup. The one problem I have is that most of the people I know with performance exhausts in my area get pulled over and issued a $110 ticket about every 3 weeks. I do not want this. Although, they all seem to have the most riced out mufflers I've...

I just had a new SPEC stage 2 clutch and Fidanza Flywheel installed. For the first few days everything was ok. Now, for the first 10-15 minutes of regular clutch use it makes noise when I release. It goes away after the car has fully warmed up. Could this be a cold Canadian issue, where...

Would the cheapest way to upgrade my tranny parts be to visit a junkyard and grab the transmission out of any half decent MTX75 focus? and do all the manual tranny focus' use the mtx75? and will it fit in my 1999 contour svt? :nonono: :bowdown: :pepper:

I never use my air conditioning. How much of a weight reduction would I get if I removed the A/C? and how easy would it be to do once the engine is out? any ideas? :dw: :shrug:

I am thinking of getting an Unorthodox Underdrive pulley and a Dual Mass Crank Damper. Do both of these use the Serpentine Drive Belt? Also, are both of these parts at opposite ends of each other if they use the same belt? If buying both, should I buy the belt along with one of the two, or...

I was visiting CTAmotorsports.com and noticed that as of 2003, Ford has created an upgraded oil pan for the 2.5 V6. Did they completely replace the old oil pan with this one and stop production on the old, or is it a different part number? and does anyone know what the proper part number is...

Anybody using this stuff in their CSVT? I noticed you can buy hundreds of different brands and use it as a lead suppliment and wanted to know if it makes your car go faster than the demons of hell :burn: or if it is BS :kaboom: ? :banana: :banana: :pepper: :pepper:

Every so often, when I turn on my car, if I rev it in neutral, a high pitched noise will start and stay until I restart the car. This has never happened while I was driving, only after first starting up the car. Any ideas what the problem might be?

Im buying a whole bunch of stuff for my CSVT and one of the things is a hood scoop. My only concern with having a hood scoop is that during a storm the engine or electrical work might get wet. Does anyone know if I would need to add some kind of filter? or am I incorrect in thinking that...

I went to a ford dealership to check out the price of a new clutch for my 99 CSVT. They gave me a price but also suggested that I add another part while the tranny was open. I looked up the description of the part # F5RZ7A508A. The description was "Clutch - Hydraulic system - Slave cylinder...

Well, the clutch on my 99 CSVT has officially broken down. I guess it's time for me to buy a new one. I plan to do quite a few mods over the next couple of years so I will need a clutch that can handle some street mods (maybe even turbo?). I priced out a stock SVT clutch at ford, and they...

I own a 1999 CSVT and I need some tranny work done, but all the transmission mechanics I've taken it to are complete retards. (Ex: "What's and SVT?"). If anyone knows of a good SVT mechanic in the Toronto / Mississauga area, please let me know. Thanks.

On the way to my cottage this weekend my 1999 Contour SVT developed a grind. All of the other gears work fine, but when I go to shift into 3rd I always get a grind preventing me from shifting into that gear. I can only shift into 3rd gear when the revolutions are perfectly matched and by...

I drive a 99 contour SVT and I noticed that the daytime running lights stay on ALL THE TIME. In most cars the day time lights go off when you put on the hand brake, but apparently that is not the case with this car. I noticed this when I went to the drive-in and wanted to put up my windows, and...
