    I don't think my belts are supposed to be doing this . . .

    Hey guys, I just noticed the other day that the accessory belt is rubbing against itself ontop of the water pump pulley. FYI it's a non-HO, not that that seems to make any difference, and it's routed without the A/C. The belt looks rather new, so I don't think that it's just stretched out...

    Yeah, I got screwed a couple weeks ago; I saw a 96 explorer 5.0 come into the local junkyard, but you couldn't touch it til saturday, so I got there early saturday morning (like 2 hours before the place opened). Of course, 2 minutes before the place opens like 15 people cut in front of everyone...

    That's the idea. . . . but then again, the world is my racetrack. HAHAHA! I used to say that all the time, and mean it; good thing I'm not that stupid anymore.

    :D You sound a bit self conscious there. Personally I don't care if anyone thinks I'm an idiot, about the only way I can enoy my car at the minute is to hear it rev, that's really its only saving grace, that it sounds so nice. Besides, whats the point of owning a fast car (not that mine is, it's...

    LOL. Are there professional stoplight racers? I can't help it sometimes, I generally only rev back at people when they rev at me first -- and they generally smile and give up when they hear my car -- funny. I'm only so impressed by how fast any given car is in a straight line anyways, it's how...

    Yeah, I play poker; I used to make $200-$500 a week from "JokerStars" until they started rigging the game a year ago, now I don't make squat. You're not the first person to tell me to convert to carburetion, but I haven't been able to get anyone to tell me that I'd really see any improvement in...

    Grrrrrrr.... lol. All I can do is shake my head and wish that I'd bought a mkIII Supra Turbo. I was driving my car home today, when some guy pulls up next to me in a civic; sure enough, he pulls away from me, and I'm giving it just about all I've got, so I'm sure he's feeling way too proud of...

    What's going on here . . .

    Thanks for all the info guys. I didn't think it was a 4.6 . . . unless the 92 crown vic 4.6 was different from the ones that found their way into 96-up mustangs. I just thought it was weird that the intake didn't say 5.0 H.O.; the intake comes in from the passenger side. What I thought was a...

    Well, no, I don't really know [I]exactly[I] what I bought, but I'm positive that I got a killer deal. 5.0 intake can't fit on a 4.6? Good to know. I'll post pics soon.

    What's going on here . . .

    Hey guys, I just had the strangest phone call. Supposedly the son of the last registered owner of an '89 LX I just bought the other day for around $1100 wants to trade his car -- a '90 GT with some bolt-ons -- for my car. This is odd because he's asking $2500 on craigslist, and I get the...

    Questions for my build

    Explorer motor = 215 hp according to wikipedia, stock 5.0 = 225 (or 215hp) + more with the heads and intake . . . so why is the stock explorer motor rated lower? Does just a cam bump it up 50-60hp (which is where I'm guessing the mustang motor would be with the intake/heads)? I kinda don't want...

    Questions for my build

    BTW I know more torque is better for autocross, but I love the sound of a high revving v8 and I've got bigger aspirations than racing through cones . . . and I know I should probably be focusing on the suspension and brakes more at the start of the build, but I just can't help myself.

    Questions for my build

    Hey guys, I'm new to the forum so I hope I'm not posting in the wrong place. I've been looking at building a foxbody for about a year now, with the ultimate goal of track days out at Laguna Seca or Infineon, or maybe just autocross. I sold my gsxr 750 last summer to buy the car, but couldn't...
