    pounds per horsepower?

    So I took my 91 vert across the truck scales @ work. WIth me in it (200lbs) the damn thing weighed 3740 lbs. My questions is, with 3.55:1 gears, how much horsepower to make this thing fast? Or at least feel fast and not like a turd. Stock motor, Art Carr auto and MM suspension. I am think I want...

    AOD Vs. C4. Do the Pro's out weigh the Cons?

    Have you considered adding the Gear Vendors over/underdrive unit to the C4? It may give you the best of both worlds. If anyone has done this combo in a Fox body I would be interested in feedback.

    Tailpipe clearance with panhard bar

    I have the MM panhard bar on my car and love it. I put a complete Magnaflow exhaust on my car and had to drop down to 2 1/4" diameter pipe and have them custom bent to clear over the axle. Not a big deal for a good muffler shop. It cost me about 125 to have it done right. I hope it helps.

    Good Garage: Charlotte NC

    I used CPR on South Blvd for some gears and a tune. Not real happy with the gear install, they whine, and the tune did nothing for the performance of my car. I would suggest you try elsewhere first. Nothing bad just not the best experience for my hard earned money

    Why is my speedo off so much?

    Stock wheels and tire size (p225 x 55 r 16) I will double check the tail shaft speedo gear thanks. Any other possibilities. I just know it is a matter of time before I get a ticket. Gears are way to much fun. Thanks.

    REAR GEAR ?

    What about a fox convertible with a non-lock-up auto with highway cruising? Just really curious because I am getting ready to do gears and cannot make up my mind.

    Radio and A/C relocation done, w00t!

    I have been wanting to dod this also. What did yuo have to do to get the AC controls moved down? I looked one time and it looked like you had to extend wires and just about rip the dash apart or at least the glove box area. Looks real good by the way. And like someone else said "repaint with...

    Max Motorsports brake upgrade?

    Is anyone using this brake upgrade kit? I am talking about the one that has the hoses, pads and caliper sleeves. I am wondering if it is worth the money and if it improves the braking enough to get by until I can do a set of Baer Claws. Also do the powerstop rotors gain you anything. Thanks.

    Parting out a car?

    I have an 87 turbocoupe in good condition except the motor needs an oil pump. My mechanic says it would cost to much to fix vs what the car is worth. So I am considering parting it out but do not know the best way to go about it. Any suggestions? I am in the southeast and really do not want to...

    where to get a turbo motor?

    I have a 87 tc that I am considering parting out. The turbo motor is in need of a rebuild as I think I spun a bearing the other day. Prior to that it ran great. It is a 5 speed car and is at this time complete. I am in the Charlotte NC area if anyone is interested in the motor or any other parts.

    AOD driving me mad....

    Call Art Carr and get yourself a quality high performance rebuild kit. Or buy there already assembled Extreme AOD. I bought the kit with torque convertor and rebuilt the unit myself. First time by the way. Tranny works great and all of the parts were high quality. When you get it apart (or...
