    Looking for the Next Upcoming Cobra Events

    So my friend and I are officially conspiring to build a cobra kit car. To get into the mood and the spirit of things I thought we could hit up some events put on by associations like COCA, SAAC, or any other cobra owners club. I personally love the track days, but I suppose I could settle for...

    Anyone Running a Sequential Gearbox?

    Like the title eludes to: Is anyone running a sequential gearbox in their classic? Or, does anybody have any experience racing with a sequential gearbox which can be adapted to our mustangs with a little elbow grease? I love the potential of the robust yet compact T-5 by G-Force but it's...

    stupidity of some....

    The tire mounting is obvious. I meant the suspension work. Just as a side note, the last place I would ever hand my fastback over to for era specific work would be my local tire mounting shop. oh and BTW: Aside from being a student, I am an editor/writer for Move.com and Realtor.com ;) so I...

    stupidity of some....

    So why didn't you do the work yourself? And why do you like to use the word "well" everywhere?

    tire size

    Unless your car is literally slammed, the tires will probably never rub with 15" wheels. BUT as far as optimal patch contact with the road, you could run a 295 series tire with the proper backspacing and A.) Never rub the fender lip in the rear B.) Stay inside the fender lines The problem with...

    SoCal group drives/cruises: Who would be up for canyon cruising?

    Don't worry guys......I am all to aware of the police crack down. As such, my original intentions were (and still are) to go for a CRUISE not a fast canyon run. And as far as getting any crap from the sherriff's up there.......they're people just like you and I, so as long as you show them...

    SoCal group drives/cruises: Who would be up for canyon cruising?

    Funny thing is, I'm 99% sure I watched and briefly ran with you and a parade of ferrari's at the top of stunt road several months back (in my Black S2000). Could that have been you? <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/2953/p9020012hv2.jpg" border="0"...

    New Wheels and Tires

    65 Fastback I'm starting to see what angle your coming from. I essentially wasn't sure what your hopes or intentions for the wheel/tire combo were. Because I've been running in road race, time attack, and open track drift session with my S2000 for the last two years and have seen soo many...

    Has anyone actually watched "Nemesis Saleen Ford Mustang Pursued"

    LOL......holy S**T! I had idea psycho's like that were on the track!!!! I'm starting to wonder if part of the pre-race tech inspection should involve a Pyschologist! hahaha......I do have to admit though, i started laughing at the very end of the clip....oh man....scary

    SoCal group drives/cruises: Who would be up for canyon cruising?

    So I always roam the Santa Monica Mountains especially on the weekends. Last weekend I saw about 3 classic stangs rolling by the rock store as I passed in my S2000..............This leads me to ask, do any of you guys actually congregate or organize group drives on a weekly or monthly basis? If...

    New pics of my FE 487ci BBF

    The first pics you put up of your engine had a certain mystique about them. The slight surface rust on the block made the thing look like it belonged in a tank from the 40's....I actually liked it ;) But the blue finish really catches the eye. Good job.

    So. Cal!

    I know the post is a little old but I'm starting to get back into the Mustang groove since I'm kind forced to rebuild my blown engine. I'm in the Thousand Oaks area....but always around LA county. In all honesty, I've been pretty annoyed with classic mustang owners on the road over the last...

    Oil change gone wrong! (rant)

    If it makes you feel anybetter. The ONE time I EVER got too lazy to change my own oil I brought my fastback to a Jiffy Lube. The dumb asses stripped my oil pan's drain bolt hole! They ended up paying for it, BUT I was seriously lucky that I had a mechanic friend with a shop literally on the...

    New Wheels and Tires

    65 Fastback............Two things.......... A.) Obviously those tires are suppose to be good tires, but they are not safe in the rain. As such, they are strictly performance tires. Now, in the ultra-performance street tire sector there are two kinds of tires. Tires that slip and tires that grip...

    I need direction to 302->C4 mating manuals or instructions

    lol... First off I want to apologize for calling the manual a "Haynes", I have been dealing with my honda S2000 for way too long and forgot the name, oops. At any rate, I want to thank you guys for your two cents. Just to to clear up some misconceptions, this is my situation in a little more...

    I need direction to 302->C4 mating manuals or instructions

    So I've disassembled the top half of my 302 and am planning on cherry-picking it out of the engine bay as soon as I can. My mustang's a 5.0 based block mated to a C-4 transmission in a '65 fastback. Can anyone direct me to a discussion, instructions, or directions on how to properly take apart...
