157,000 on my '00 V6 manual.

The engineers from Lincoln who ran an LS in the One Lap of America in '05 had two different sizes, I know the rears were 275/35-18's, not sure about the fronts, though they were narrower than the 275's

Post some pics of the turbo setup when you get to it if you can!

I've had the Eibach's and Euros for a couple of years now and the feel of the road is more precise but the ride is harsher (the roads are pretty smooth around here, not often that suspension bottoms out, but it does happen). With the bigger sway bars in the V6 sport the handling is about as good...

I've had the manual since '00 and still get a kick out of driving her. I've gone with the euro shocks, lowered her 1.5 in. with Eibach's, 255/45-18's ,I believe the MTX also has a heavier front sway bar than the V8 and the cornering is terrific. Gone through one clutch @ 90,000 mi and would...

Your dealer is just doing what Ford recomends, between the LS and the S-type there aren't more than 3000 in the US. You might have better luck with a Jag dealer as the MT was a much bigger seller in the UK, and they may have some repair info.

You might want to check out the Noble forums too, http://www.nobleforums.com/index.php they are getting 450 bhp from the V6 with twin turbos. Pretty sure they've lowered compression though using the contour/mondeo heads and custom pistons.

T make it even worse, the '00-'02 is different from the '03-'06. Most parts from the Jag S-Type are compatable, and some parts from other Duratec V6's are compatable, but not many. The LS has unique heads, intake and electronic parts, most are common with the Jag, but the short block is just...

If you live in RI you should really be using beach sand. If you don't, you need to add some salt to the blasting media to balance the ambient salt content of the air in your location. Not doing this can cause your catalitic converter to seize and block the exhaust pipes, which in turn, can cause...

Too bad there was no GenII MTX to compare.

Lots of things make that sound when they break (sorry couldn't resist). If you're having a brakeing problem that's somthing else. Are you sure the noise is from the brakes? Is it coming from the front or rear?You could have a sticking caliper piston, could be springs setteling, transmission...

You will definately notice the difference, My '00V6 manual came with the euro's and it's lowered 1.5 in. and the handling is great, but our roads are pretty smooth out here also. I'dthink twice about putting them on if the majority of your driving is in the city, not only because of the ride...

If you've got metal pieces in the oil pan it's not a good sign. They didn't come from the top end- you may have damaged a piston/rod/crank, and the valve damage may have come from the piston slappin them. Can you see a clear outline of the round piston head on the rectangular combustion chamber...

The 5spd does have a rev limiter, but it just cuts off the fuel supply. If you're hitting the limiter and then remove the load from the engine (like slipping out of gear) even though the fuel is cut off the unspent inertia will spin the engine through the limiter number. I bounce off the rev...

Check out Ebay, they usually have several for sale. If you need something right away a subscription to Alldata will give you the manual on-line.

I've had the Magnaflows on for 4 years and love the performance increase and sound. The turndown tips on the stock kit reflect a lot of soise back into the cabin, but like Ken says, straight tips out past the bumper cover reduces that noise significantly, and to a level where you hear them but...

Wrist pins-- same thing happened on mine, the noise is from the piston slapping the head. It's less expensive to put another motor in than have the engine repaired, you have to pull it anyway to get at the short block and pull the crank, rods, pistons etc. The labor alone is $$$, the engine...

Close; there were 2341 built and the rear end is 3.07 for all manuals.

2341 MTX's manufactured. Only 372 were built in '02,about 750 in '01 and the rest in '00.
