    Reading threads!!!!

    No, you don't. I didn't see it at first, but its in the display options at the bottom of the page. In the "From the" field the standard setting is "Last Day". However, you can set it anywhere from the last week to the last 100 days, and then by last year and finally from the beginning of the...

    Any thoughts on Costco & other generic gas?

    I remember my science teacher saying once that there actually is a reason for the cost difference. I've never really thought to check to back it up, but this is what he said. When they pipe the refined fuel from a refinery (he cited the Alaska pipeline) they use one pipe for different grades...

    I got my turbo engine!

    Next question would be when should I get the fuel pump? Understood on the injector and turbo bit, makes sense. I'm not really going to be looking into huge performance until I have a better base to stand on. Basically, the mods I originally listed are the ones that will more than likely get...

    Perhaps because it is a reletively unintelligent creature.

    I got my turbo engine!

    Fuel pump I didn't think of, K&N was a given, didn't think to list it. I thought the 35# per hour injectors were the injectors of choice for higher HP mods (my engine came with those). So do I need a different aftermarket injector set or higher PPH injectors? On a related note, any...

    Question about bodywork

    The poll pretty much explains things. I'll post some pictures of my car once I get a camera from someone. Basically, which is more cost effective from those options? >edit< Repairs needed: Something hit left fender just behind the headlight, its dented about 3-4 inches with the bottom of...

    I got my turbo engine!

    >shrug< Maybe, maybe not. I'm just wondering what can be done beyond porting the head, header, and turbo (where it meets the header), knife edge/port lower intake, gut/port upper intake, raising boost pressure, 3 inch exhaust, intercooler, and roller camshaft. Without going into repogramming...

    I know you guys have all heard about the movie "The Passion of the Christ".

    >edit< it ate my reply, that's strange. I'll re-post it tomorrow morning. >edit<

    I got my turbo engine!

    Yeah, I didn't see that when I checked the engine. I got it home and decided it was time to take it apart to get it restored, grab the rubber intake portion, and dried mouse turds spill onto my hands. Pleasant experience it was. I later discovered some on the lower intake in much the same...

    Works for me.

    I got my turbo engine!

    The title pretty much explains it, and the details are in my sig, but I got it. 88 Merkur 2.3. I've got some work cut out for me, but I really don't care, its stuff I was gonna do anyway. Currently I need to get an engine stand, everything else has been stripped off the main block except...

    Turning Radius?

    Yeah, I know. I have gotten used to it by now and its no longer a problem, I just wondered if there was any way to improve it. Furthermore, just because its a Mustang "trademark" doesn't mean it can't be changed. The issue though becomes how much would it cost and is it worth it?

    Turning Radius?

    Maybe you do, but mine is power steering, unless its a power rack and pinion?

    Turning Radius?

    Neither have I, I guess everyone had it kind of built up and needed to vent on some n00b. Lucky me. I really don't know much about the previous owner (besides that he's a liar and sold me a lemon car, and I didn't know enough then to call his bluff). Originally he had the GT rims on it...

    Turning Radius?

    This is true, there is considerbly more room under the wheel wells of the bronco than there are in the Mustang, for obvious reasons. It could be that the only factor limiting the turning radius of the car is the height and wheel well space difference. Nonetheless, the mustang has distinct...

    Turning Radius?

    Something I've been meaning to look into for some time now is the turning radius of my car. Put bluntly, it sucks, my dad's bronco with 33" off road tires turns tighter than my car. What gives here? Its a "sports" car that turns like our oldsmobile station wagon. What's up with that? Can it...

    Help needed

    Two things off the bat. First its not a Mustang or even a Ford 5.0 for that matter. Before you flame though, they don't have any forums (that I've seen and I've looked) for Oldsmobile Custom station wagons. Its not a chevy block, so it also scratches any Camaro forums. However, I think the...

    Lousy news

    Oh I'm willing to pay the price, but considering people have bought entire cars for less than that, it is absurd to spend that on a single piece of equipment knowing full well I can get more for less. I thought about that too, but the problem would be assembling a team and gathering required...

    Lousy news

    Well, my trip to the junkyard proved to be elating and depressing in the same stroke. It is an 87 T-bird, T-5, with the EEC-IV computer still in it. That's the good news. The lousy news is that they don't let people pull engines or transmissions, he won't sell it, and he wants $350 for...

    I have found a donor car for turbo swap

    Yeah, right now I'm leaning toward just making an offer for the whole car. Dad will let me keep it somewhere out of sight and out of mind, like under a tarp or in the garage. So I'm headin out there today to try to acquire my new toy. The brakes are a good idea, I thought about taking the...
