    Toe Compensator Link Installation

    Ok well I am in the process of doing my toe compensator links, and I can grab them and twist quite easily. wow. My question, is the nut on them 40mm, 41mm, or 1-5/8" because i don't have a socket this size, and would like to know before i go shopping. thanks

    Fold in air shock and rolled up as well

    So just an update, Arnott called me back and told me they tested the shock, and couldn't find anything wrong with it. Really?

    Coolant crossover tube modification

    Yes, mine looks like a mix between a dry river bed and a rust factory. Plus the stupid fill plug has been frozen in place since I bought the car. I am planning on picking up some C heads soon, out of a continental, so I'll be sure to grab the crossover tube as well. Thanks Oh, and I didn't take...

    96-98 Cobra Intake Manifold

    Since I'm the un-official king of bringing up dead posts, I figured I'd give this a whack. In order to fit a Procharger on the mark (or cobra) what exactly did they do to the coolant crossover there? It almost looks like two of them, one turned 90 degrees counter-clockwise, and the other chopped...

    Polished aluminum hood on the Mark

    Those chromed cars are a terrible traffic hazard. Your hood looks pretty awesome, do you have anything on it besides wax to prevent corrosion? If I polished mine like that all I would see is fiberglass (or plastic?) as I have a first gen. hmmph

    Coolant crossover tube modification

    Recently I have seen several pictures of cars powered by the 4.6DOHC that had an interesting modification. On the coolant crossover tube, where it turns down to go to the thermostat housing, that was cut off and welded smooth. None of them seemed to be done for a lack of space. Does anyone know...

    question for baggedtaco about saleen speedstars

    These have got to be some of my favorite wheels. most of them anyway. I am just not even close to willing to drop $3k on wheels unless I've done a hub swap. That way I could sell them if I ever had to. Do terminator cobras have the same offset/backspacing as the mark's? (I know they have the...

    Those would look 10x better with a polished and radiused lip

    People with cool cars.

    With the cars you've listed, it sounds like you're at least half way there. Is there any chance of a spray booth installation?

    Craigslist Find!

    I may have to take you up on that. My brother hit mine and is being a total douche about paying for it.

    some progress

    I had a 1990 volvo with the peanut butter interior. Never again. An actual tan color would be nice though. I personally don't like brown on anything except my furniture. Oddly enough, many cows are brown, hence brown leather. So are you going to stick black Saleens on it?

    k9t8m's DJG 94 Mark VIII Progress Thread

    Speaking of tips, I am searching for some dual exit, stainless steel, end rolled, bmw m3 style tips if anyone knows of some. At the moment I have some 21" truck tips I chopped to 14.5" and they are starting to look terrible after 6 years, I also want a more refined look. Plus my Dynomax race...

    Forward Strut Rod Spacers

    Those may come in handy, I'm going to try to gain access to my friend's machine lathe first, as I'm not rich. I replaced my SRB's last year with a set of the Moog blue urethane ones. I have a baaaaad power steering leak, and it friggin ate the driver side forward bushing. I called moog, and was...

    Old thread but nice car

    Yeah I get that as well whenever the engine is below ~70degrees F I thought it was a part in the driver side valve train. Guy at the dealership told me it is probably my chain tensioner. IDK. I am at 222,230mi and I am hoping I can make it two more years before I have to open her up. :shifty:
