Sounds about right to me.

93-98 Lincoln will work. They'll work even better if you buy the whole car and drive it instead... tongue.gif

Kerosene cleans gas varnish better than just about anything else, it just dissolves that shit. That, or mineral spirits.

Get long tubes and a free flowing exhaust.

Use lots of oil, sharp bits, and start with a small bit. Drill one hole then go to a bigger bit, yadda yadda yadda.

How long did chevy play with the idea of the small block V8 before they did it right? Give the rotary some time. Hell, look at Ford's 3.8L V6, it sucks ass. Poor design. The rotary is a wonderful idea, and I think theres alot to come from it. Look at the Moller skycar. If it was meant to be, they'll work the design flaws out.

It's harder to change fluid on those because they don't have drain plugs. There is one hole where you fill the tranny, and to get the fluid out you have to put a tube in and siphon it. I'm not sure about yours, but Ford Racing used to sell upgraded gears for the T-5, and you could buy whatever gears you like. I'll take a look in my catalogs to see what they have.

Add reliable to that list.

If your wires are ten years old I know where i'd put my money.

To me, if you look at one that has been done, you would be better off with port work from someone.

I read a review that said all the gains people got off the SVT was from having the dirt removed. The guy cleaned an intake, didnt take any material out, and got just as much power. I'm porting an intake right now, and I beleive there are significant gains to be made just cleaning. That EGR puts some nasty shit in there. I used to be curious about it myself, but then I saw how much it cost. Thats alot of money for some guy pushing a button.

If you get the vibe on acceleration it's definitely not your rotors. You would only feel that during braking. I would suspect a tire problem if it wasn't there before. Check all your tire pressures.

Try a little (LITTLE) bit of kerosene next fill up. Thats all that injector cleaner is, and you can buy it cheaper than that crap in the expensive bottle. I agree with the fuel filter though.

Is your car a stick or auto? I haven't ben on this board long enough to know as much, but the people I know with bottom end problems

just skip the bottom end altogether, usually with a high stall convertor for an auto or a mean shift with a stick. Just my two cents.
