Steve-Oh Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 If there's one thing I never ever want to take out of my car again it's the PCM, god do I hate the way that thing is mounted. Gah, def don't want to do this but now that you BOTH POINTED IT OUT it must be done lol. Nice work man! I need to stop down when you guys are doing a good bit of work one day.

95riosnake Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Ugh I HATE getting that damn PCM out of there, I think next time I have to, it isn't going back in. Megasquirt time, and mount that son of a bitch somewhere easy to get to while I'm at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeperstang1994 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I drilled the spot welds on mine and found some rust behind it but I don't remember any holes.there were not any holes. I didn't have a spot weld cutter on hand so I just used a regular drill bit. went a little far. however I was planning on cutting out the panel so I was not to worried about it.If there's one thing I never ever want to take out of my car again it's the PCM, god do I hate the way that thing is mounted.

Sleeperstang1994 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Sooo I got something done this weekend. Nothing crazy. I sand blasted and powder coated my pedal assembly. It was rustyish. I figured I had the means and ability so why not! It turned out perfect. Powder flowed out great and virtually no imperfections. Just sad it's going under my dash where no one will ever see [emoji17] and here's the pics! I have one favor to ask. Anyone with a 97-98 car can you look at your brake pedal and see if you have an electronic cruise deactivation switch? My 94 pedal assembly used a vacuum switch which might have been due to it was a 6 cylinder. I stole this assembly out of out 97 parts car but have a feeling it might be out of the 01 cobra that my dash was from? Just need to make sure I can plug the sensor into my 98 dash harness.

ttocs Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 the gt's use a vac switch as well but I am not sure what you need to do to get the 98 piece to fit in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeperstang1994 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 i looked on PTS today at work. From what i can see the 96-98 all use an electric deactivation switch. I broke the tab so im going to order a new one this week. Also ordered the Bullit style pedal covers for this since it looks so dang pretty. Nothing like spending money on things for a car with no engine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SublimeRT Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Now that's a nice looking pedal assembly. Powder coating always looks so good. Been tempted to paint mine while it's been going in and out of the car. Wish I could help with the pedal switch but I really have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeperstang1994 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 i think i figured that out. 96-98 used an electronic switch if it was a GT or a cobra. the v6 used a vacuum mounted switch up untill 98. My car was orignially a v6 so im glad i swiped the pedal assembly out of the parts car! Im ordering a new switch tomorrow and hopefully getting my pedals next week. Now i just realized how ugly my gas pedal arm is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeperstang1994 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Just a quick one. Couldn't stand the gas pedal was not done so I threw that in the blast cabinet and hit it with the super mirror black. Also did a set of brackets for the rear bumper support. You may remembering me doing this pair before. However I wasn't please with how it turned out so these are off of the parts car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeperstang1994 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 So I'm going to start calling these my @Blackmage quarterly updates! He likes to give me a bit of a friendly poke( insert MLP reference here) every 2-3 months. And pictures!last weekend Sean out my new 4.6 swap k member and front arms on. I sandblasted a fen brakets for the brake lines and abs wires in prep for powder coating... Because why not!Drilled my TFSC and filled it with some paint. Apparently I used way way way to much. So now my floor is sealed as well!And finally @95riosnake said I should be able to do this IRS control arm shimming by myself. So I did! @arayray does this help? And that's all! See everyone in the spring after the snow. This is how my car sits on the regular. The following pictures are graphic so if you have a weak stomach....

95riosnake Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 It kills me how much people worry about what their neighbors are doing. Unless your car is in THEIR driveway, who cares? I hate my neighborhood, I live in a townhouse we bought 4ish years ago as a for-now house, and the people here must not have jobs (no idea how they afford one of these houses if so...) and just spend their days sitting by the window with binoculars. I can't even work in the garage with the door open for fear of dropping a wrench that might wake up some asshole's cat across the street. I want to win the lottery, move out to the middle of nowhere, build a massive shop and spend my days in it, locked away from all the mouth breathers.

Tabres Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I don't normally care about that kind of stuff but I can see how some people might. If I was trying to sell my house for example and my neighbor had a car sitting out in that kind of shape all of the time I'd probably be a little upset. It'd probably make some buyers think twice. But then again I'd also have the manners to go talk to my neighbor about it and not be a pussy and call the township/HOA. @95riosnake, I totally want to move to the country and build a shop too but my wife won't have it. She's concerned about proximity to hospitals and such and ability to get to town/work during the winter. No one has ever complained to me but I guess I'll be soldiering on living in subdivisions trying not to make too much noise in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildWillyWalker Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I attempted this yesterday on my phone but I switched to the full site to add pictures and lost everything I typed. >.<So yeah, we are installing a Kenne Bell'd 2003 Cobra engine and T56 in a Mach 1. Instead of fully charging this guy for labor, we said we get to keep everything that comes off. The engine, trans, wiring, etc that comes off the Mach 1 will be going into Josh's Mustang. There's still a lot more he needs to do but this is a big chunk. We're both pretty excited. Although now we're both pretty bummed because we found a ton of problems with the Cobra engine and this is turning into quite the fiasco, lol.
