  1. Removing Windshield Wipers?

    Mine look awful and I'd like top slap a coat of flat black paint on them, but I'm not sure how to get them off (not the blades, but the whole wiper assembly). If anyone knows how to do this I'd appreciate it if they shared their insights so that I don't have to lay towels all over the car and do...
  2. 2g Manual Rack/ power steering removal

    I dug up some old threads in which it was recommened to turn the wheels left and right to drain the rack following a power steering system removal and I wanted first hand impressions of how difficult the car is to drive at low speed without power steering.Once again, I'm looking for people...

  5. doing a tune up soon

    Slightly tuned should take one range colder not hotter. The hotter plug will have a natural tendency to initiate knock sooner. This is a general rule although I've run stock heat range plugs into the 400 WHP range. I've owned a mildy tuned 420A and stock heat range was fine although I'd...
  6. Boost Leak or did my ECU get ####ed up??

    Might not be a bad idea to perform a boost leak test as well...
  7. New turbo, no spool sound really

    My 50 trim at 27 psi was whisper quiet compared to the whine of a 16G. It's not an issue in the least and doesn't have anything to do with performance. Consider that moving air through a larger opening will also dull sound somewhat.Don't worry about it.
  8. Knock>fun

    The first step is to check knock sensor torque as it should be at 17 lb/ft. Anything more than that will make the sensor much more sensitive to mechanical noises. Second, make sure that there are no frayed wires and even considering changing the sensor entirely. As a third measure, you can add...
  9. Small plans turn into Big Plans, again! Posting my winter build up.

    Looking great Dan-O and it appears that you have the makings of a real street beast. I'll keep the link you sent me and check in on it from time to time.Love ya bro!A.
  10. What gears for 2001 Mustang GT auto?

    Minimum is 4.10 for an auto. The 4.30's are perfect for a Cobra where you can rev to around 7K but will also work well on a 4.6 2V.
  11. knock problem

    Check the knock sensor for correct torque. If it's overtightened it'll give false knock readings. Correct spec is 17 lb/ft. Also consider swapping in a known working ECU from a friend's car if you can to make sure that it doesn't have something to do with the ECU fuel drivers.I'd also check...
  12. Remanufactured 100mm cranks???

    If you have the coin to spend on a new crank, go ahead since you're getting a fresh piece with less potential for problems. I didn't and picked up a reman SBR crank which has worked perfectly thus far. Like anything else, the machining work on a cut crank is critical to ensuring that everything...
  13. After 5 years I'm calling it quits...

    All the best to you in your new endeavors. Hopefully you'll have time to once again resume that which you're so great at. In the meantime all of us will remember you fondly and hope that you'll check in from time to time.It won't be the same without you.
  14. knock noise help please

    If you pull a plug and the knock stops, that generally points to a rod knock issue since you're taking the load off of the piston. What I find strange is that you have no shavings in the pan. You might also have a spun balance shaft bearing knocking around if you still have the b-shafts...
  15. 14b boost

    The only way to tell is to hook up a logger and find out for sure.
