    cl gotta love it

    Oddly enough I've had nearly the exact same thing happen to me. Posted my old mac off road H pipe for like $100, agreed to sell it to this guy over email for $75 or 80. Drive 20 minutes to meet him, he arrives in a beat to hell '83 mustang and tries to offer me 50 bucks with a straight face...

    how do you make a fuel injected a carb

    Unless you are building an all out drag car, converting from EFI to carbed is dumb... Why would you downgrade your car? I mean, I'm sure Ford spent money putting EFI on these cars for no particular reason...

    Best gear install kit + where to get it?

    I ended up ordering a Motive kit from AmericanMuscle since the price is as low as anywhere else for a complete kit ($75), plus they have free shipping. I'm just going to stick with the crush sleeve, I'm interested to see if compressing it is as hard as some people say. I don't think it will be...

    Place that can weld axle tubes in or around Portland?

    I'm about to start building a new 8.8 for my car and I'm thinking about getting the axle tubes welded to the center section while I have everything apart. Apparently to do this right the axle needs to be stripped down to the bare housing, the cast iron center section needs to be be preheated...

    Exhaust shop in Portland/Beaverton Area

    I had A Better Sound weld some cats in, and they did a decent job. Not show quality welds, but they were cheap, fast, and easy to deal with. They're out south, I guess more or less near Oregon City (?).

    yeah, the stator wire... forgot to reconnect mine the other day & it turned the battery light on, make sure it is on there tight.

    Where to have gears installed?

    Thanks for the tip, I know right where that is so I'll go check them out... Maybe I'll try installing them myself since I can always have Jeff fix it if I screw something up :D

    vancouver STANG guys

    That's lame, late night is the best time to go to the drags! Let me guess... it's probably the whiny neighbors that we have to thank for that. If you don't like the noise maybe don't live next to a race track? Anyway I live a couple miles away from PIR and I can just barely hear the champ cars...

    Where to have gears installed?

    Actually I was thinking of doing it myself since the axle will be out of the car and I could take my time. I heard the tools to do the job right are pretty expensive though? I think I'm gonna do 3.55's and they will most likely be Ford Racing gears. Where's a good place to get all the small...

    Where to have gears installed?

    I'm getting a complete 8.8 rearend to replace the bent one in my car and want to drop off the axle somewhere to get rebuilt and have lower gears installed. Where's a good place to take the axle to have this done? I remember a while back there was a member here who could install gears for pretty...

    Good exhaust shop in Portland?

    Seriously? Adding cats is that big of a deal? I don't have any on the car now so it's not like I'm tampering with the factory emissions equipment... a previous owner chucked that years ago, lol. I will check out Darrels. I know right where they are and cheap is always good. I don't need show...

    Good exhaust shop in Portland?

    Can recommend a good exhaust shop in or near Portland that does high quality work for a reasonable price? The two that seem to stand out are A Better Sound in Milwaukie and Get Bent in Clackamas. Anyone have any experience with either of those, or can recommend somewhere else? I want to have...

    Looks really clean, I like the blacked out look... what did you use on the valve covers and alternator? Paint or powdercoat?

    Oregon DEQ

    How did you guys manage to pass DEQ without cats? Though I'm not driving it this winter, I took my stang through DEQ a while back when the reg. was about to expire, almost passed but not quite, too many hydrocarbons I think... I guess welding some cats in will be a spring project. I'm all...

    My one owner LX

    I grew up in Colorado Springs in the late '80s-mid '90s and can hardly remember seeing any Foxbody mustangs at all, stock or otherwise. These cars don't do well in the snow at all and I'm sure that's the main reason why, but I can remember seeing F bodies and the SN95's when they came out...

    My one owner LX

    Wow, that looks great. It looks like it sits lower than usual even for Sportlines. Did you do anything else to get that stance? Where did you get the FR500 seats and if you don't mind me asking how much were they? I've never seen those before. Do they bolt right in?
