Looks amazing, Glenn! Thank you for the updates and looking forward to more. I almost feel like I'm more excited for this car than I was for the real one...
Clutch goes in and comes out smooth. Shifting has been fine. A little notchy lately but thought it may be because of the cold. 2nd in particular though has almost felt like I could feel the motor as I was engaging it, if that makes any sense. No grinding or anything like that.
I am the 3rd...
Since I bought my car in May, 1st gear has left a little to be desired and it seems to be getting worse lately. The car has very little torque and the RPM's will shoot up without a corresponding increase in speed. In 2nd and up though it pulls like it should.
From what I've read in other...
Please add me at the end of the list!
Just finished reading my own copy of the book and just got my SVT certificate from Ford so it'll be a quick turnaround!
I was facing the same decision before I bought my car. I really thought I wanted the 302 more - newer, better features, better handling, maybe a little faster stock, etc... In the right color, I liked the styling more too. I just was not nearly excited at the prospect of buying one as I was a...
Thanks for all the help and tips.
I ended up picking up FG-1114 at O'Reilly's. FG-986B is what came out of the car. Weird that the Ford manual would list a part number that isn't correct.
Wasn't too bad of a job overall. Pretty tight in there and you'll need plenty of rags to soak up the gas...
Hey guys, when I first bought my car back in May I went ahead and ordered a bunch of the basic tune up parts on Amazon (air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, etc). All parts were Motorcraft and per Amazon's site would fit my car. Now I'm finally getting around to taking car of the fuel filter...
Thanks guys! I appreciate all the comments, really excited about this car.
Just wanted to let you all know my hunch was correct - the previous owner did basically no maintenance. If anyone has interest in a factory air filter with 31k miles on it, let me know!
Also wondering what you all...
Thanks! To be honest, yellow would never be my first choice (or second, or third...) but damn do these cars wear it well.
Nice eye - yes it's still wearing the previous owner's MN plates, that's why I blurred it out. It's hanging out in the Chicago suburbs with (significantly more expensive)...
Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself and share my new Terminator that I picked up a couple weeks ago. 2004 Screaming Yellow coupe with just over 31k miles. I got it from the second owner who had it for the last 13 years and ~27k miles. It is completely stock, right down to the spoilers on...
