    My mustang is back home

    Taking time is all well and good...but its something I don't have. In the fall I'm moving to Georgia, it was originally going to be after I fixed my car. However, the money that it would take to get the thing running again with prices the way they are here would be better off, I think anyway...

    My mustang is back home

    I hate this computer it just axed my original post so I'm going to restate it in a very non verbose way. My car is back home. The problem is somewhere between the engine and the rear wheels. I lack the funds and interest to fix everything that needs to be fixed on it. There is an...

    My LX: "Mustang for sale; parts or repair"?

    Sorry about the long delay, currently without internet. Thursdays are open at the moment, I can probably go to Sumerduck sometime soon. I have a friend with an Imprezza that goes out there every so often, so maybe I can get a ride with him.

    My LX: "Mustang for sale; parts or repair"?

    Luray...I'm trying to recall exactly where that is in relation to where I am now. I'll check a map tomorrow. Right now it looks like its going to be staying in NJ for a few weeks. I know someone who has a trailer, I'm going to see about borrowing it. Until then, like I said, I'd like to see...

    My LX: "Mustang for sale; parts or repair"?

    At the very least it seems someone here would buy it. I feel a bit better about the whole affair after sleeping. I know it could be fixed fairly cheaply, its just a matter of doing it. A question though; is there anyone closeby this area who has a turbo mustang they would be willing to...

    My LX: "Mustang for sale; parts or repair"?

    Not exactly high on my list of priorities, but it just seems like I keep running into one thing after another with this car. It like one of those old cartoons with the guy trying to fix the leaky sink. You cover one hole, another one opens up, cover that one and yet a third, finally you get...

    My LX: "Mustang for sale; parts or repair"?

    I just got back from New Jersey...minus a Mustang. Shortly before getting back onto 295 while in town, my car made a wonderful grinding sound shifting into second gear. Pulled it over, checked the transmission fluid, filled properly, doesn't smell burned, so I just set it to overdrive and ease...

    New Muffler for Me

    s'ok, I got a speeding ticket roughly a week after I got the car. The speed limit was 65, then 50 going into a tunnel, and I thought it went back to 65, so I passed someone. Well, it was still 50, and I passed someone at 70, and there was a speed trap on the other side of the hill. So myself...

    New Muffler for Me

    I was not going 95 MPH on a Virginia road. I was going 95 on a stretch of I-95 in NC near the SC border and getting passed by motorists and highway patrolmen alike. I don't speed here, its a stupid idea. For that matter, I try not to speed anywhere because of the risks involved. I don't just...

    Skipping rebuild?

    I don't have (a good) one, but I have access to one, I'll do that. I'm going to be buying gaskets and such today, and its significantly cheaper without piston rings and such. Originally I was going to rebuild the bottom end for strength purposes, but since I'm not going to immediately be...

    Skipping rebuild?

    I previously said I was going to do a full teardown and rebuild on my engine, however I'm begginning to second guess myself. At this point, I would like to just get it installed in my car and worry about all the power adders later. From what Stinger has said in the past you can pretty much...

    New Muffler for Me

    I recently failed inspection due to leaking exhaust pipe; $9 part at Trak Auto. When I took the leaking pipe off, it broke off inside the muffler. I considered going and buying a standard replacement part, but changed my mind. As a result of this, I now have a 2 1/2" Magnaflow...

    Ok lets talk mileage . who is getting it ?

    ...wtf mate? I was absolutely thrilled the other day to find that I was finally averaging 18.5/gallon. How the h$&# are you guys getting that much? Its probably the A4LD...that and I am beginning to be of the opinion that my car is at 205xxx miles as opposed to 105xxx (no 6th place holder so...

    Coolant Hoses

    Actually it does, R-134a is an HCFC, it still has CFCs but in a more stable form. Only HFCs (Puron, and other brand names, basically R-402) lack CFCs. However a license is still required despite the fact that it has zero ozone depletion potential. HCFCs still have ozone depletion potential...

    Trim question

    Holy crap dude, that's freakin awesome. How do they get the trim to look like that? Done that way it looks good, like the trim is actually supposed to be there. Mine looks like it was added as an afterthought; it looks like someone just kinda slapped it on with some sticky tape a la ricer...

    LB2 computer with A4LD?

    So the LB2 and LB3 are identical? <edit>If I just want to get the engine in my car and use my A4LD until I can get a 5 speed, what computer should I use? Can this even be done (well, I know it can be done, but done well)?

    LB2 computer with A4LD?

    As mentioned in an earlier post, I'm leaving my current automatic tranny in the car until I get enough funds to swap it out for a manual. My question is, was the LB2 computer designed specifically for A4LD? Secondly, will the LA3 computer work properly with an A4LD until I can get a T5...

    Coolant Hoses

    That works, I had planned on it. I just need to figure out how to get that bulbous thing on the end of the pipe so the hose stays on. Oh, what rating should the hoses have, any specific temperature or material?
