Hey guys,

Just bought a 98 SVT and I love it. It has just under 100k and needs a front wheel bearing badly but, overall, I'm impressed.

It will make a great daily driver that can surprise a few unsuspecting folks from time to time. :laugh:

I can finally go crazy with my other SVT, a 2003 Cobra...

Welcome! Congrats on the SVT.
Make sure there is at least 6 quarts of oil in the car. Some like to run 6 1/2 quarts to help with the oil starvation issues on sweeping right hand turns at higher RPMs.
Also, add coolant to the top of the letters "MAX" on the coolant tank. These cars also have a picky coolant sensor and will sometimes set off the coolant light even if it's at the MAX line (bottom of). So add some extra. ;)

Post some pictures when you get a chance.

Haha glad someone else noticed too, I've been browsing around and the rules are very strict, and very enforced. I think it's because some of these folks have been on CEG for close to a decade, and obviously if you've seen somebody ask "how do I _____?" for the 50 gazillionth time (when there's a sticky of it in the how-to section) it wears pretty thin.

As long as you read the rules, they're pretty straightforward and you should be fine :)

Bingo! We have a winner. ;)
We have no problems helping if we know you searched but don't understand something. We understand that someone new to this platform may not fully understand a how-to or many not know what a particular part looks like, in cases such as those you are more than welcome to post (in the appropriate forum) and ask.

Avenger: Post some shots of the Cobra too. :)
