Sent a guy a message about a 04 throttle cable. TPS is ordered.

Found a 95 GT for parts, no engine or trans, $500. I mainly want it for the 8.8 and the black interior.

NGK or Autolite plugs? I had NGK TR55GP's and they only lasted 4 months, so Im a little hesitant about NGK.

 

If he falls through I am probably picking up an 01' GT parts car.
You can have first dibs on the cable.

 

Sounds good. Thanks for the offer.

 

Copper, plats suck... tr6

 

After I the GP's failed I went to Ford and asked for coppers, they gave me platinums.

I havent seen a copper plug in at least 5 years.

 

TR6's will be here monday.

Do I seal the front snout and the rotors or just the snout on the M112?

INSTALL IS SCHEDULED FOR NEXT WEEK. Tuesday or later since I have a alignment on Monday.

 

L/U CA's ordered
Hose for PPRV delete ordered
04 throttle cable ordered

Just need to call Ford tomorrow and order some supercharger oil, grommet for fuel tank, and gear oil/friction modifier. Then drive an hour and a half(one way) to get the parts when they come in.

Also getting some POR 15 and a spray can of Electric Green.

**** me, looks like ill be spending a week in the garage.

 

So I got my alignment today and I was helping him do it. We adjusted the C/C plates as much as we can and we couldnt get the right camber.

Driver side is set at -1.2* and passenger is at -1.8*. Driver side is on borderline spec(-1.3* is where the green area starts). Passenger is obvious out of spec, even after fully adjusting the C/C plates.

So what he said to do was take the top and bottom plate off, lengthen the stock camber slots(only like 1/16-1/4") and then install the plates and adjust.

Passenger side:




Driver side:

 

axle removal started. Pics to come later.

ran into a problem... lower control arm bolts are rusted to the sleeve on the inside of the bushing. 10lb sledge + wd40 =/= bolt out. getting pretty frustrated.

 

Progress:



I HATE rusty/seized bolts.

Teaser:


I put the backing plates in an acid solution to remove the rust, so Im basically done while those soak and the LCA bolts soak in weasel ****. Tweaking my exhaust a bit since it hit the axle on certain bumps before.
