    The Awesome 89 Mustang! Post Yours Here!

    It's loud. I like it, but it might not be for everyone. I took a video of when I first fired it up but it won't seem to load into photobucket. The tailpipes are a little goofy looking as well, but I was tired of the dumped mufflers.

    The Awesome 89 Mustang! Post Yours Here!

    Here is a crappy old photo of my car I found online. The stripes are not on the fender behind the front tire because I had a bit of rust that I cut out and fixed there and never redid them.

    The Awesome 89 Mustang! Post Yours Here!

    89OEM, that's close but not exact. It had three small stripes, a thick on in the middle and a pin stripe above and below. Just behind the door the middle stripe ended and it had an XXV then continued again. It ran aling the rear 1/4 as well. I actually incorporated an XXV into my current red...

    The Awesome 89 Mustang! Post Yours Here!

    Mines an early 89, no dash plaque. Mine had a dealer installed XXV stripe kit, that I have seen 3-4 other times. All were white/red 5.0 hatches and I believe all had AODs and every option besides power seats, leather and sunroof.

    1993 5.0 Mis Shifted- 1st Instead Of 3rd!

    Brother did this at the track and hurt his T5. I did it on the highway and no I'll effects other than the mess in my shorts (merging onto the highway in front of an 18 wheeler).

    Fox Exhaust Question

    Honestly the flowmasters are going to drone even with cats. It will be quiter but will drone still.

    New Clutch

    You guys are better than I am. I've installed numerous parts (clutches included) that got their break in driving into the trailer the night before a race!

    First Time At The Track After Gt40p's

    I agree, if tracks times aren't something your really after, no need to bolt on slicks. Keep your tires, get to the track a few more times and change some driving each pass. Change shift RPM, launch technique, tire pressure, etc... I think you would be surprised how much time you can knock off...

    I bought some no name off the shelf black carpet ones. Like the plain look!

    First Time At The Track After Gt40p's

    You did good for the gearing. There probably aren't a lot of 3.08 geared GT40 guys in the 12s. Keep in mind this is your first time out. I've seen cars drop .5-.7 in their track times with just small tweaks and learning the car.

    New Clutch

    I think I saw you heading down Route 66 in Middletown. Right near the Home Depot and McDonald's.

    New Clutch

    Definitely keep in mind that the stronger the clutch, the riskier it is on the transmission.

    Explorer Gt40 Motor Into My 90 Gt Questions

    I must have missed that this is a 2.73 geared AOD car, in which case moving the power and up might not be the best bet. Mobil website on my phone doesn't allow me to see signatures, so I plead ignorance :D.

    Explorer Gt40 Motor Into My 90 Gt Questions

    What I suggested is not ideal in a street car or daily driver? Moving the power and up I don't think is going to negatively affect the feel on the street. At least I never noticed it with the cars we have done it on. I prefer having more room up top, where you end up when your foots down. I...

    Explorer Gt40 Motor Into My 90 Gt Questions

    A little trick we always employ... Get an adjustable timing chain and retard the cam a few degrees. It will give you a bit more up top using a stock cam. I don't believe you will see more power, but it will move the power and up a little.

    Popular Mods That You'd Recommend To Not Do

    CleanLX I agree. Here's a story for you. My brothers GT40P car has been into the 11.6s at the track. A local car show had a burnout event and we tossed some 225/60/15s on 10 holes in the car. My brother lined up in the water, and after 4 attempts gave up. I assumed it was him (as any...

    Popular Mods That You'd Recommend To Not Do

    My car is literally built off the lists from this post. Pulleys, gears, A/C delete, painted interior, CAI, cobra intake but no cam or aftermarket heads. If I had to recommend a popular mod that everyone does but shouldn't, it would be the A/C delete. Not sure I would use it much but removing it...

    1/4 Mi W The "magic" 300 Rwhp?

    256 rwhp. 295 rwtq. 3100 lbs give or take. 285/35/18 Falken radials out back. In this trim I went 12.95 @ 107 (I forget the mph, but 107-108 is my thought).
