    Power Seat Issues

    I'm cleaning my car today so I move the seat all the way back, but when I try to move it back, it moves halfway forwards and just stops working! I can move the seat up, down, and further back again, but the damn thing won't move forward! It seems like a wire got loose or something because the...

    Metallic clank sound from drivetrain?

    Went over a few bumpy roads today and noticed that I started hearing a "clank" sound from underneath the car. Now it's doing it every medium bump, and every time I shift quickly, so I tried doing it from a standstill. Dumping the clutch in neutral does nothing, but in any gear it will clank...

    'The hell is going on with my horn?

    My horn has been randomly not working for some reason. It's very strange, it either works loud and perfectly or not at all. The #16 fuse is fine, and I can hear some kind of solenoid click when I press it and it's not working. Any ideas? :mj:

    Overheating BADLY in Traffic!

    Well, tonight I was driving in traffic and the temp gauge went up to the L (usually it stays on the "O" of "NORMAL") and the car started smoking, so I pulled over and it looks like the coolant was so hot that it started to evaporate! I limped home and upon further inspection there was a strong...

    Converting to electric cluster

    Anyone tried this before? I'm wondering if we can convert to the 99+ cluster with electric odometer/speedometer, and how involved of a process it would be. I have the opportunity to get an 01 cobra cluster for pretty cheap and would like to swap it in.

    Sudden loss of power

    Hey guys, I went to the track today and on the way home the car felt completely different. Felt like someone just zapped 100hp off the engine, and when I get on it, the car just falls on its face at ~5000RPM. :whine: Any idea what I might have screwed up? No leaks, ticks, knocks, or...

    Tapping noise from 2250-2750 RPM's?

    What could this be? I've had this same tapping sound for 10,000 miles (since I bought the car over a year and a half ago). It only does it at these RPM's in any gear. Someone said to me that there might be a little play somewhere in the engine, and that it's nothing to worry about, but I...

    Florida roadside emergency vehicle law?

    Another question for the Florida LEO's, a co-worker of mine was recently pulled over by a normal sheriff (not FHP). This sheriff had just finished conducting a traffic stop, and upon finishing pulled my co-worker over telling him that the law requires everyone to go 10mph under the speed limit...

    Florida muffler laws?

    This is mostly directed towards FordSVTFan, but I appreciate any feedback. I have a buddy with a 95 GT and dumped flowmaster super 40's. He was pulled over for having illegal "modified mufflers" and was told that they were too loud. I would like to know what the law says about aftermarket...

    Welding mufflers into stock catback?

    I found some 2.25" offset/offset mufflers from MAC, and was wondering if these would be a good fit into our stock catbacks. I've seen a few guys weld the 2.5" mufflers into them, would that be a better way to do it? Link to the mufflers Thanks :thumbsup:

    Tapping noise at certain RPM's - normal?

    My engine makes a tapping noise at certain RPM's, (around 1900-2200RPM) that goes away completely at higher or lower RPM's. Has done this since I got the car, I thought it might just be the noisy valvetrain. Does anyone else have a similar problem? I came across this video HERE (skip to...

    Jumpy throttle, need some advice

    When applying a small amount of throttle, my car sort of "lurches forward" for a split second. This only happens when going from not giving it any gas, to applying even a hair of the throttle. I was thinking my throttle body was dirty, but man that thing is clean enough to eat out of! This...

    I've been looking to pick up a set of these for my car, does anyone have any pictures of a black SN95 with 17 or 18 inch chrome 03 wheels? I'm not sure how much of a difference that 1 inch would make! :beer:

    My wheel sounds like a squeaky hinge

    When driving, my front right wheel makes a rhythmic high-pitched squeaking noise that speeds up when driving at faster speeds. Strange thing is, whenever I apply the breaks, the noise completely goes away. Now I had this caliper replaced about 3 months back, but when I inspected it nothing...

    Anyone else have this problem? I've had this issue for a couple weeks now, usually only when engaging the clutch. I've read multiple things from "normal" to "fluid leaking onto the seal causing it to swell":uh oh: . Any advice, brothers?

    Breaking 12's N/A?

    Alright, extra funds are starting to roll in, and my car is pretty much stock as can be. As it sits right now, it has as only 3.73 gears and full length subframe connectors. My question is, how difficult would it be to break 12's with 4.30's, intake, midpipe/catback, and a set of good ol'...
