Lucky. Well I had to wait on 4 W-2's.. Since this is the first time that I only have one job lol. By the way, I took out that insert out of the airbox earlier today when I had it taken apart. The one yall told me to take out.
I didn't say too lol. It's a resonator to help quiet it down. Personally I would have left it like I'm leaving the one on the stock intake I got to replace the aftermarket one I have on my SVT. Which reminds me I need to take that thing off to sell it. I want my SVT almost completely stock. They only made like 14k of them and each day there are fewer and fewer ones left. The SVT is hard to improve on with aftermarket parts.
Eh. I feel like it doesn't do much anyways. I'll just leave it off for now. Yeah I don't think I'm gonna do much aftermarket. Except for the polys and hopefully sometimes in life an exhaust system.
The SVT already has a pretty good exhaust as it is, not much to improve on unless you go 3". Most mods are just noise makers. The mods that can really make a difference and mainly these are in much better drive ability are the mounts, short throw shifter, and a tune (Highly recommended). HERE is a link to the SVT sticky threads, lots of useful information in these threads.
I think I'm going for a 3 inch Borla. Eventually. Honestly atm I just want it running properly without worrying about something exploding or falling out lol.
Yeah lol. I'm reading your SVT thread right now actually. Alright well hopefully around next month I'll have both the engine mounts good to go with Polys.. So as long as someone can help me with the timing belt, it should be good pretty soon.
I'm sure one of us can help you with it. I have timed the zetec and done t-belts at least a dozen times by now and Raymond as done it quite a few times himself lol
Well just let me know when you're not busy and we can figure out a day? I need to check the thing first. For all I know someone's done it already. Holy crap just realized it's almost 4. Time to hit the sack!
Wow you guys had an early early wee hours chit chat ... lol
And yes, as Paul stated, if you ever need some help, the Houston crew is usually up to lend a hand. All of us have begun to be focus experts ... lol Only because as a group we figure out new mechanical challenges.
TheRealDeeej - about timing belt, do you have a timing belt cover in place? I'm asking because you can have a look at timing belt and see how bad it is. With that being said, you shouldn't really judge it's condition by looking at it, BUT still a good thing to do so you have kind of a feel if it can hold up to next meet or it looks like it's gonna fail the next day.
The last SVT on which Paul worked was obviously on the brink of snapping, like I mean it really could be the very next time they started the engine.
And ya SVT is a great car... what would I do with all that garage space without it ?
like someone said it earlier, owning SVT is like having a baby - there is always something...
