    Anyone else concerned about E-15 fuel?

    That's good to know, and I assume all OEM lines and not random rubber ones.

    Anyone else concerned about E-15 fuel?

    I'm reading the current administration is proposing E-15 as the standard for gasoline (CT standard is E-10). Has anyone with a Gen 1 or 2 had issues with it? Our cars predate the first FFV models. Has anyone created a list of what needs to be changed to accommodate E-15?

    Shock recs?

    100% agree on the available pre-assembled struts. The front ones typically have the wrong ( cheaper with less noise isolation) mounts with weaker springs that fail earlier. The rears aren't much better. The proper front mounts are about the cost of a typical pre-assembled unit. If your...

    Shock recs?

    I have been happier with Gabriel Ultras than with Monroe OE Spectrum. I do suggest you verify any shook or strut you purchase these days compresses and rebounds appropriately before you install them as quality has deteriorated in general since COVID.

    Rear 11.6 upgrade questions

    I found the upgrade helps the e-brake hold the car better. YMMV. I run EBC Red Stuff rear pads. I got the brackets from SHOSource.

    94 SHO Struts/Shocks What make/model will do the best for me. In changing them, should any other parts be changed? 80k miles

    I use Gabriel Ultras on my '91 to replace the Konis I had. I have heard the rear OEM Motorcraft are still available. I hated the Monroe OE Spectrum I tried just before the Gabriels - they were too soft.

    Won't turn over

    I had a bad cell in my battery exhibiting that behavior. New battery, it was fine.

    WTB: Gen 2 MTX SHO

    Check out Zak's '95 in the SHO Trader. Very clean, everything is mechanically perfect.

    Ford C-Max rim test fit

    Update #2: I went to Summit Racing for universal spacers. The max I wanted was 3/16, which left me with two options, neither are hub-centric. I went with the WCA-WS09 over the 06 which is 1/8" thick. It may have worked, but I wanted room in case it got too close when torqued down. I adhered...

    Ford C-Max rim test fit

    OK, so an update: I finally got the '96 brake upgrade done, and the bracket hits the rims. I have washers on for now, until I find an equivalent spacer (3/16"). The way the rim curves at the hub is shallow. I'm glad I didn't buy new tires yet, but then again, the rims were $60 each and the...

    '96 Subframe rear mount question

    I used a GEN3 SHO subframe as my friend had two complete engine / transmission / subframes from ones he stripped.. I checked Zak's '95, and his 2001 subframe has the same rear mount as mine. So I will be moving the rear motor mount over as well.

    '96 Subframe rear mount question

    I used the third gen subframe bushings on my '91, they are nearly identical in height. The motor mount is the only thing I cannot account for via geometry. I may need to change the angle of the transmission mount to adjust for the change as well.

    '96 Subframe rear mount question

    The rear mount on my '91 is nearly 2.5" higher than the one on the '96 subframe. The Sticky doesn't mention any modifications for the rear mount. How far off does that throw the rod shifter and the exhaust? Or should I migrate that mount over too?

    Steering rack question

    After taking a closer look, the lines go in at different angles. Does anyone know which line from the pump to the rack I need? Or should I splice the two lines together.
