I recently pulled the snout off my eaton to replace the front and rear drive shaft bearings. While trying to remove the bolts that hold the snout to the case, I ran into the outlet fitting for the intercooler adaptor. Seems to be a common problem upon searching. To get the snout off, there seem...
When I left work yesterday, I noticed that my service engine soon light, and my abs light where not lit up (service engine light is for idle code, abs light unknown at this point). I live like 2 min from work so when I get home, I check the codes. Still throwing one (same one it has been). I...
Just as the title implies, I was rear ended a little over a week ago. I was sitting still on I65-S at the ramp for 264-E (this gets backed up some mornings). I looked in my rear view just in time to see a silver grand am sliding into our lane from the next one over. At this point I stopped...
When I went to have my car aligned about 2 weeks ago, I found out I have a front wheel bearing going bad. Other issues I discovered have kept me busy until this point, but now I'm on to the wheel bearing. I ordered a replacement spindle lock nut from a local ford dealer (it's a one time use...
Since I am unable to upload attachments here, I had to do it over on modular ford. Pretty sure you have to be a member to download, but it's not a huge deal to sign up.

I took my car to get aligned today since I installed coil-overs about a month ago (haven't driven it a ton since I've been on vacation). They called me to come back and look at the rear suspension. I will try and describe what I saw (gonna try and get a picture later on today).
The bushings...
I need some help. I installed coil-overs on my car on tuesday at a friends house. Button everything up and drive it home, and now the car won't start. It just sits there and cranks. I checked the codes and it was throwing a P0193. This lead me to believe (after some research here) that it...
I recently went on a quest to quiet down my 03 on the inside. I absolutely love the way the car sounds, but having to yell to communicate has gotten a little old. To attempt to get the best of both worlds, I went looking for a way to quiet just the inside of the car. The obvious choice was to...
I recently bought a set of coil-overs off another member on this site. Today I took them apart and got a lot of the dirt off them (not looking for them to be spotless, they are going back on a car). Now I have a couple of questions.
1) These are the maximum motorsport coil-overs on stock...
Went back to Ohio Valley tonight and got three runs in. Much happier then a week ago. Dropped the Kuhmos down to 26-27psi this time. Seemed to work much better. Was launching @ ~2k. No videos this time, no one was there with me that wasn't running.
Previous week ran a best (I use this...
Went to the track for the first time ever on Saturday. I need a lot more practice at this. Just need to learn that the pedal cannot go to the floor until mid-way through 2nd. Rear tires are 275 Kuhmo SXs @ 30psi.
1st Run - Launched @ 2k, bogged, then spun hard through 2nd. Did beat my buddy...
Yesterday I picked up a 2003 DSG Cobra with 50k miles. Bought it off a guy on this board, 03svt450whp. It's got the usual mods, intake, exhaust, pulley, ported blower/lower intake, tune, etc. Makes 530hp and 580tq. All I can say is holy crap............ This realm of power is a whole new...

We bought the car about 4yrs pretty much the way it sits. The previous owner worked at a body shop and he obviously cared about this car. It has been kept in a garage under a coversince we owned it and only seen rain a handful...
I've been around a while just cruising other's posts but now I have my own question. I have a 98 GT vert 5 speed with ~124500 on the odometer. The clutch is not slipping. I'm just trying to get an idea of the clutch life. I drive this car everyday so I can not afford for it to go down. There...
