the factory temp gauge is wild and not to be trusted anyway.

install an aftermarket temp gauge and put your mind at ease.

heres how i did mine. cut up the factory amp thing and installed them there

Just as a minor correction, SVO's did NOT come stock with the 8.8 rear, they have the 7.5. Many have been swapped and it's fairly simple to do, but it's not a stock SVO part. oh crap! thats true, it came with a crappy 7.5 traction loc or something like that. All the GT's till 86 or something had it...

I own a foxbody and an XR4Ti, I feel qualified to answer this for you. considering the SVO already has an 8.8 and LSD, with a hurst short shifter, and koni shocks, 5 bolt swap, out of the box the SVO is a better car. But if you have money and time to invest the XR4 is a much funner car to drive. The...

heres a good photo of the problem for the records (stupid photobucket wont show my old one)

Hi MCA, Since the whole photo bucket thing, I figured I would start a new thread. I ll see what I can remember and what order I did things. It all started in 2012 when I bought the car from a gentlemen in Buffalo NY, the car was plated in Ohio. The guy told me he got a couple offers on the car for p...

well it turns out its for real.. looks like I have to find an alternative. I have to go through my threads and update everything ;(

technically they do use a special grease, its a thick black grease. they sell it in packets at napa.

i dont know whats special about it however.

if its factory, its trash, if its parts store, its trash.
contact our vendors for the correct one.

drove 8 hours..


my car didnt even make the pics. At least theres a picture of me in there, Im not totally deleted from Merkur history.

can we get some MCOA stickers? would be a cool touch.

i know, i saw it. I need to save some cash before I come back to see you though.

A front strut installed correctly! I do wish you still had A/C so I could see if that would work for mine. Interesting the strut connection in mine is different than yours. Mine goes around the tower completely. ya the 3/4 shock tower thing I dont get, it doesnt fit well on the tower. I think the o...

they are 17" BBS RX . Rare to find in 4x108. I drove 7 hours to get them, and 7 hours back..
