    My 89 LX Build Thread!

    Lol really?? I think it's mostly the weekly wheel swaps that confuse people. I've only had 6 different Mustangs in the past 2 years... Not too awful bad! I have went to the darkside. The new sickness... 1970 Chevelle. :D

    My 89 LX Build Thread!

    Bye Bye hatchy... It's been fun. New owner came and picked her up today, along with the GT parts car. I also traded my 97 GT last weekend, so I went from having 4 Mustangs to only one in a week!!! It feels great to have garage space.

    Trade for 65 FB

    Do it and run away as fast as you can, laughing at him. Your fox is unique and really nice, but nothing beats old school muscle, imo. You're pretty much able to trade your 60s mustang clone for the real thing.

    Pics of My Coupe, 97 GT, and My Friend's 93 Hatch

    Got bored today so I decided to do some fall cleaning. So I got the coupe out and gave it some loving. I polished up the Prostars and waxed it. Then I decided to dust off the 97 and bring her out to play... Then my buddy came over and we detailed his 93 Calypso Hatch. Since all the cars were...

    4.6 swap in 85 hatch

    I would say pull the old engine out, then put the new engine in the same way. :) But seriously, search and you will find your answer. Honestly not worth the swap IMO. Same power level, much more difficult to tinker with, plus parts are a zillion times more expensive.

    Look what I found, or what's that rubbing noise?

    Ah, don't you just LOVE it when something has clearence issues after you sit there and think "There's no way in hell that will rub". I have been in the same position as you when I got done building mine. Except mine was the wiring harness, and a brake line. Troubleshooting sucks, especially...

    Anyone seen "Born to Race"?

    Just watched it on youtube. Loved it!!! I think it's the best car-related movie that's been put out in a very long time. I loved all of the cars in it! Especially the STI. I thought it had a pretty good story line and was pretty realistic. But, how many high-schoolers have a 2011 GT or a badass...

    I think i'll try to get a driveshaft. First i'm going to put in the spare one I have laying around for the hatch car and see if that fixes it. I know one thing... I'm not paying $265 for a driveshaft... Is it just me, or are those things going up and up in price?

    Not another "which shifter" thread...

    Me too. I have had both a Pro-5.0 and a MGW, and I have to say they're both great pieces. The MGW is more of a "tight" feel in every gear, but it's a lot easier to miss the 2-3 shift with it than with the Pro-5.0. I never missed with the Pro-5.0, but miss a pretty good bit with the MGW I have...

    My understanding was that the dogbone was only worth a crap on stock geared cars, but idk if that's true of not... I have honestly never seen but one pinion snubber in my life lol, and that was on my 97 GT. I really don't think it's anything contacting anything since it only happens in 5th gear...

    Amazingly, I have only had the driveshaft out once, and that was before I ever put the car on the road 3 years ago, and it has had a vibration since then. I've just now started to notice it because i've always had other vibrations and more problems. Only one more left. This weekend I'm going to...

    Thanks! Well I think I got a new problem. Pretty sure the trans is on its way out. It's vibrating in 5th gear when I'm in the throttle, but as soon as I let off, it goes away :shrug:

    slow90coupe's NOTCH BUILD THREAD!!!

    Only one problem... one of them is still attached to a spindle and hub... and is screwed up pretty good. I really like the mismatched wheels for some reason.

    My 89 LX Build Thread!

    Just now noticed this thread popped back up! The car is still exactly like it was in the last pics, except the brakes are getting pulled off of it today to be put on my coupe. Then this car will be getting downgraded to 94-98 brakes. Oh well, they still work pretty good. It's just sitting in the...

    Thanks man!!! Well I got the car out today for the first time in a little while. Drove it around a little bit, then pulled it into the shop to get one of the big issues that was really eating at me. Anyways, here's some pics of it as of a few hours ago. Really, really dirty and neglected...
