Ok just installed my 9mm Stang Wires.
It was the biggest pain in the *** ever.

tell me what ya think

 

looks cool
what kinda difference does that make

 

I cant feel a big diffrence. But I can feel that somethings diffrent.
Its funny I had 2 mixed up and i started it and it was so loud and i was like wow it made it sound way better untill i realized it when the car shook violently that they were wrong. Yeah it was mostly for looks but they claim 8-15 HP only a dyno could tell me if it made a diff.

 

Wow, thats a super dirty engine bay...

lol

 

+1, why were they such a pain to put on?

 

v6's don't have much room to get the the wire boot onto the plug. Its cramped to get your hands in certain spots. I changed a buddy's and it was a pain as well. I did the same thing with his, had them wired wrong, and the car was chugging like it had a healthy cam in it, but we soon realized it wasn't the right configuration.

 

well the stock wires were the problem. They are locked in with these spike things they were easy to pull out on the sides but the very back one there is no room at all. I had to get a long screw driver and for 30 min work it untill it poped off.

yeah just as yellowstang said there is no room in that thing. I had to remove my intake just to have a better angle to pull them out and then put the new ones in but im happy i did it.

 

well i want to buy some of this engine cleaner stuff but i really dont think it will work.
you got a suggestion on how to go about cleaning it?

 

I use armorall cleanant/protectant wipes and a damp towel to clean my engine bay..nothing blown up yet..lol

 

i use degreaser and some water drizzled lightly... nothings dead yet as well ;x

 

ok is that just for the plastic only or can i use it on everything?

 

Buy some engine degreaser, soak that puppy with degreaser, and then pressure wash it off. Just don't soak the alternator, distributor, and don't get real close up on your spark plug boots. V6 mustang engines are easy to clean. The v8's have the ignitor boots which sit kinda loosely and they get water in them easily but v6's are cake. I've been pressure washing motors for 7 yrs now haven't messed up one yet, and I do it daily. I pressure washed the crap out of my buddys then sprayed it with an aerosol armor all then wiped it down. After you wash it, get an air hose and blow the water off of everything before applying whatever shine you use. Most shines don't mix well with water.

 

are you sure its ok to power wash it with all that electrical stuff under the engine

 

Yea you just don't want to get the pressure washer right up on the electrical stuff. If you buy a good degreaser, it should make the dirt start to run, and then hold the washer about 2.5 feet away and spray off the degreaser. And do sweeping motions, don't spray in one spot for a long time. The places you want to get up a little closer with the washer is the painted parts (Firewall, inner fenders, etc.) so you can really get them clean. If you spray the bottom side of your hood with a pressure washer be careful not to hit the hood liner. It can make it sag and/or blow parts of it away. I usually just wipe the bottom of the hood.
