windstar + spacer fits :)

cubestang04 · August 11th, 2010, 05:12 PM

hey, i got the windstar n spacer on, and it still clears the 99 cobra hood. i noticed a bit more pep after i took it for a drive. here are a couple pics. (hard to spot once everything was back on)

Nice!

Mr. Red Pony · August 11th, 2010, 05:43 PM

Isn't that hood the same as the reverse hoods for the 04s?

cubestang04 · August 11th, 2010, 05:56 PM

yes, that is my hood

99 cobra is the same hood on most 03/04 models.

Mr. Red Pony · August 11th, 2010, 06:03 PM

Oh, ok. I just might have to find a black one. So it gave it a little more you say?

you get like a 1/4" removing your hoodliner like he did

cubestang04 · August 11th, 2010, 06:11 PM

yea, people say that using them both, could make u loose power up top, but gain down low. i think that with the combination of bolt ons, and the 93 octane tune, i have gained back any hp's i could have lost. overall it feels more pepy down low, and still has good acceleration up top. i think that even if i gaind 5hp, and 5tq it was worth it.

Mr. Red Pony · August 11th, 2010, 06:11 PM

I meant more as in more go.

Mr. Red Pony · August 11th, 2010, 06:12 PM

Well I have my spacer laying in my room...

Did you get different bolts?

cubestang04 · August 11th, 2010, 07:07 PM

yes and yes haha, its alittle bit faster now, and u need to get 4 more bolts, go to ace hardware, and ask them for it. they r the same 8 short bolts that come with the spacer kit.

I bet this is a case of the butt dyno feeling a difference after taking time and $ to do a mod. hahah just saying. and clean your engine bay, it'll look a ton better. i just noticed the valve covers.

Codeman · August 11th, 2010, 10:49 PM

I think that VAP said that it would gain more with the spacer, but he said due to the fact you needed a different hood for the majority of ppl it was not worth the couple extra ponies.

I emailed steve and...

When I did the Windstar swap I ended up with a vaccuum leak that I still can't find =/ Just curious if you had the same problem. It's most prominent when my A/C is on but I didn't have this issue before so I don't think it's the compressor or anything

Yeah it's a pain in my ass, it puts my idle all over the place

I've also noticed my car hesitates in low rpm, as if a sensor isn't reading correctly, its not my maf or tps.. any suggestions?

GreenMustang00 · August 12th, 2010, 04:21 PM

IAC?

Mr. Red Pony · August 12th, 2010, 04:25 PM

It might not be a leek, but rather the location of a certain hose that is hooked to a sensor. It could be throwing wrong info at the computer.

Heather, do you know ESG-642T?
