No my clutch isn't slipping. And the car was running, so i don't know how it couldn't be disengaging. Clutch in, car stuck in reverse, can not stalling out, so clutch is good. It's only happened that one time... so far. Maybe just a fluke?

Alright, this just happened.... I was backing up in aparking lot, after driving home from my gf's house, and when i went to shift to 1st, the stick wouldn't move. It was stuck in reverse. I turned off/restarted the car, no change, backed up a litle more, no change, hit the gas hard enough to make teh wheels hop in reverse, no change. I tried forcing it, nothing. Finally, it just unstuck and i could shift. Anyone know what the hell that was? I really don't want it to happen again.

I took your mom, remember? smile.gif

Anyone have a guesstamation of what a mostly stock 2000 GT will put on the ground?

I did mt intake on prom night before i picked up my date.

Audiobahn does make some good shit for pretty good prices. I've always liked them. But anyway, back to the topic at hand. I really don't think that you will be happy with the basslink. If you're afraid of weight, don't get bumps at all. The bass link is heaver than you would think too. Just get a single 12 with amp and box. Try www.sounddomain.com they have a good selection and cheaper-than-retail-store prices.

 

And yes, i know that there are nicer amps than MTX out there, but not in that price range.

I wouldn't consider MTX excellent by any means. They make entry level subs and amps IMO mediocore at best.

 

Excellent is something like JL, Audio Art, American Bass, Eclipse, etc..

excellent compaired to anything that you can get at best buy circuit city, etc. the subwoofers may not hit as hard as a W7 but they cost roughly 1/4-1/3 as much. The amps (especially the class D amps) actually are very nice.

ok first I'm not going to buy your subs smile.gif I can't have that much extra weight/ less space in my trunk.

 

If I was going to go all out I wouldn't get MTX anyways.

 

I was just wondering if anybody had one. And how do they like it.

Ehhh, it was worth a try. Nothing wrong with MTX. They make excellent amps and sub woofers.

Yeah but then I would be spending $500+

 

You can get the bass link for 230

OH, i thought the bass link was more than that. But just think, the MTX's will put out more than twice the sound.

And about the BP1200.1 I am selling my 81000D that is a much nicer amplifier all around for much less money.

....you'll be disapointed.... Then you'll get on here in a month and start a trhead with a subject that reads "I shoulds bought louder subs" And I'll give you a big "I told you so!" smile.gif

The bass links do look good, and they have that passive radiator in addition to the driver. (10 inch i do believe) I would asume that SQ wise, they sounds pretty good, but i wouldn't be expecting mass amounts of SPL. Now, I have 2 12 inch MTX 8000's and a matching 81000D amplifier that i am selling. They will put the bass link and anything up to kappa perfects to shame. Check the garage sale section under "MTX for sale" for more info.

If its a daily driver, i wouldn't go with 410's. It's gonna be too expensive. It's a lot of extra wear on the enine, not to mention gas costs. As if we both don't have to cough up enough to compensate for a V-8 as it is? I had some problems with my rear end too. Actually, it's been back to the dealership twice because of a clunking some where in the rearend. I didn't bother to mess with it myself, since it was a warranty issue. Anyway, i have a feeling that the 373's alone will make the car feel like an entirely different animal all together. But you're not alowed to get the gears until we have a chance to line em up. Speakin of which, Hooters tonight?

Try pulling your clutch all the way out. note: i said pulling it. Then push it all the way back in. According to ford, this is how you can adjust/reset/do whatever to the cable clutch.

I have 26K on my clutch and it feels just as sturdy as the day i bought the beauty. Not to be a dick, but i think the jerking is more human error, try letting out smooth and giving a bit more gas. Then again, you could just whole shot all the time.

1st gear, I get absolutely zero whine from my transmition (VERY little if any even in reverse). I wouldnt down shift to 1st unless you are doing 30 or less. But, you also have a different tranny than i do.

Add what? Fuel injector cleaner? I've never heard of anyone having any problems. Don't know what you're talking about.

If he's got any torque at all, and he cuts that much frame off, he is going to twist the frame. The car will more than likely start to sag too. There is no possible way that that much of the frame (and that is a very important section of frame) can be cut off with out reenforcement. if it isn't reenforced, it will be very very bad.

How loud is your exhaust?

Yeah, heavier. You're going to need to reenforce the crap out of your frame to keep the car from folding in half, let alone surviving a wreck. If you look in my dash (i saw it when i replaced my gauges) there is a huge metal tube. the tube alone looks like it weighs over 200 pounds. There's also extra reenforcement frame type stuff elsewhere on the body.

 

My vert stang weighs more than a coupe stang by a couple hundred pounds. I just think of it as free weight on the tires.

Your car is gonig to be heavier and not as stiff if you cut your top off.

I already have flow masters. I don't think I'll do exhaust manifolds for a while yet. Those look like a bitch. The starter is RIGHT THERE! Yeah, my light finally came on. I ordered the mil eliminators. Hopefully they'll be in thursday. Almost ordered some lowering springs, but i managed to hold off. I do have a little will power.

Before i spliced in teh gauge i spliced a multimeter in. It read between like .05 and .3 volts, depending on throttle.

Maybe the owner is defected? </font>Defected? that would mean that i requested asylum in another country. I hope you know what that means. And if you don't, go to www.dictionary.com and look it up, or rent ANY old cold-war movie. The one with robin williams is a goodie. I forget the title. And yes, the owner installed everything correctly.

Actually, there are 4 wires. One signal, and it looks like 2 grounds and one 12v+. At WOT it moves up maybe halfway into the Stoich section of the meter. Maybe I just got a defective meter?
