I wonder if drifting is a sport that was ultimately invented by the tire manufacturers out there :)

I'm not the one critisizing other people here. What I however am doing, is exposing you for the hypocrit and social elitist snob that you are making yourself out to be. You keep calling people thieves and false patriots, but let's see some evidence to back up your claim? I'm not the one here...

At least the BFG tires for the rear on our car are reasonably priced. I just wish there were more alternatives out there for that particular size. Goodyear, are you listening????

Yeah, i'm actually considering doing that just to see whether there is any difference. However, i've used this same Amsoil Series 2000 75w90 gear lube in other vehicles with the Ford traction-lok differential without any problems, and didn't even need to use the friction modifier additive in...

Maybe i'm jumping on late, but what kind of credibility does a paper like the LA Times have? That paper is probably one of the most biased and furthest to the left on the political spectrum than hardly any other paper out there. Hitchhiker, as far as this goes, what kind of backwards place are...

Thanks guys for your help. It didn't go away, so I made an appointment with my stealership's service department. Bottom line, is that the blokes who work there are telling me that it's normal. I've just lost any faith i've had in them again as if this was normal, it would have done it when I...

Eric, any remaining Marauders out there are starting to disappear, so it's really now or never. The incentives will never be better as they are now anyway. I have the tick as well, and have been told that Ford is investigating a fix. This is a pretty high profile motor as it's used in a lot of...

I just don't understand the people who do this type of stuff to their car. It doesn't even look cool, and it just looks stupid to me, but to each their own I say. Every pound of reciprocating weight equals about 7lbs, so as heavy as those rims probably were, it's like adding a whole bunch of...

I'm jealous......... :depress: :beer:

Would an extra gallon make that big of a difference? As far as the fuel guage goes, it's pessimistic deliberately. As mentioned, the fuel pump is submerged inside the tank itself in the gasoline. It actually relies on the gasoline to help keep it cool, and running too low all the time may...

I'm not getting chatter, but I am getting grinding and moaning noises. Thanks for letting me know, and i'll give it another couple days of driving. Out of curiosity, where you also feeling a vibration as well from the rear end?

Out of curiosity, what was yours doing when you changed the gears?

Pete, the V8 SHO motor I believe is a 60 degree setup just like the 2.5 litre Duratec. It also uses a dual stage intake setup in which you have a set of secondary intake runners which opens up at 3500rpms(sounds really good too). In fact, it has the same bore, stroke, bore spacing as well as...

Well, I had the limited slip friction modifier put in this morning, and it's still doing it. It seems to do it more when i've come to a complete stop, and accelerate as i'm turning. Should I give it a little more time, or should I go ahead and schedule another appointment with the dealership?

LOL, I don't think I want to know what you are trying to imply there..........

On the 3.4 litre v8 SHO motor, the block was cast by Ford, while Yamaha built everything else. The block for this motor was based on the 2.5 litre Duratec V6, with 2 extra pistons if i'm correct. As far as some of Ford's other modular motors go, it's the 3.9 litre Lincoln LS/T-bird V8 that...

I think the 300C is still butt ugly, but there comes a point when that can be overlooked as it's just one criteria out of many that has to meet my standard. If the rest of the car is good enough to overlook the flaw in exterior styling, then it's the sum of all the criteria involved in judging a...

Hey, thanks for that tip. In my case, it's more of a rubbing/moaning sound than a chattering though. You can kinda feel this rubbing type sensation from the rear end too, usually while making a sharp right turn while hitting the gas pedal. It's still doing it slightly right now, but i'll see...

Thanks for the advice and help guys. I've got a 4oz bottle of differential limited slip friction modifier and i'll try half of the bottle first. Today on my way to work, it doesn't seem to be as bad as it was yesterday, although it's still doing it. It seems to do it a bit more when i'm...

I prefer the burnout method too! When you start leaving only 1 tire mark, I guess that's when it's time to rebuild the unit!
