    Yeehaw! 12.566 @ 109.31 mph

    Engine Noises

    First check the header gaskets, I thought I had a bad lifter, it was just a header gasket. See exhibit a: http://www.starshadow.com/~gael/pictures/DCP04798.JPG If that doesn't look like it's it, I'd say lifters. I don't think it's pinging, unless it's REALLY pinging badly.

    I'm not gonna get into if it's legit or not, I hope it is, cause that'd be badass. I want to do a turboed II at some point. Turbo 393 would be fun. If you do have some pics on your comp, please email them to me at [email protected], I'll host them for you.

    5 Speed from late 80's 4s & 6s

    I'm pretty sure the 4 and 6cyl T5's won't work on a V8. You want a T5 from a V8 Fox, or you can get a T5 from a SN95 with the 5.0 engine (94-95). I have mine from the 94-95.

    Has anyone used the Koni SPA1 shocks on their car?

    If I'm right, almost all race parts have that on them, it's just pretty much to cover them from lawsuits. I know plenty of people who are running drag shocks on street driven cars though, and as far as I know they haven't had anything happen to them because of driving them on the street...

    How to get reverse light to work after T5 swap?

    did you use a t5 electrical harness or the same one that was hooked up on the 4 spd? i may need a t5 harness if it's not the 4spd one. i only got the transmission, no wiring stuff.

    How to get reverse light to work after T5 swap?

    Something I haven't messed with yet, though I really should. After I swapped my T5, I attached something from the 4spd onto the T5 of what I thought was the electrical connection for the reverse light. Right now mine does nothing when I go into reverse. I was hoping to fix that. Does...

    My II is out to pasture until further notice.

    I know one person has a Tremec 3550 in his II (a351must2), not sure how easy of a bolt on it is. It really depends on the headers I think. If you're not making a ton of power, and don't plan to be for a while, I'd consider a T5 first.

    I put some new gauges in my II, I love 'em *56k*

    I don't know what gauge it was.. but you'd want to use something around 1/8" thickness. We used something that was really thin, but we had the previous gauge setup as a backing plate.

    Fuel level gauge questions (electrical/sender)

    I'm wondering what the stock sender would read for fuel/empty? I need to pick up a different autometer fuel level gauge, right now I'm using one that was for my dad's car, which won't work. Autometer says this: (73 Ω Empty/8-12 Ω Full) For most Fords before 1989 and most Chrysler vehicles...

    I put some new gauges in my II, I love 'em *56k*

    God I love them, they're so sexy. They all seem to work, I'm not sure about the speedometer though, it seemed to be acting funky. We made another panel using the old one as a template, cause there was no room for all the gauges, these ones were bigger than the VDOs I had in there. Yes, the...

    LaMbO DoOrS

    Amen. As soon as I saw "LaMbO DoOrS" I thought "oh no, this isn't gonna be pretty". After you get your Lambo doors, I'm sure you can find some good deals on some altezzas, bodykits and aluminum wings.. since you have the money and all. Oh, don't forget the neon underglow.

    I got that MGW shifter for my II, pics inside

    Yeah mine's a bit modified too.. we took that center ring out. I needed to for the triax I think. We also hacked off a bit of the area around where the shifter goes in, so we could reach the bolts. We then bought some sheetmetal and cut it to fit over the metal and under the carpet, so that...

    I got that MGW shifter for my II, pics inside

    Ok, I figured I'd let you guys know. I got the MGW shifter for my car.. www.mgwltd.com It has 2 choices of handles, one more sporty, one more just for easy driving. I tried both handles and set them in. They both sit really really low in the console, not sure if that's the same for...
