    1992 LX Build thread!

    well i ended up breaking down and buying a pedal assembly off ebay. comes with a UPR quadrant adjuster installed and a cable in perfect condition for $125. most of them online were that much or more and really didnt want to pull one out of a yard and have to remove it myself

    1992 LX Build thread!

    gotcha, thanks. i'll just hollow out the cats after i pass emissions, then deal with the rest next year when it has to pass again. but i'll end up taking it all out for the transmission anyways, thats why i was asking. but i'll just weld on a new muffler while im under there

    1992 LX Build thread!

    thanks, i've got a buddy with an OBDI reader. i've done a lot of work with OBDII in my truck, but still getting used to OBDI. and hpw did you like those injectors? and i may take you up on that offer. my only issue with gutting the current cats is that i have to pass emissions in my county...

    1992 LX Build thread!

    and i just found this, seems like it may be worth it. cutting the old cats off and retro-fitting hi-flow's myself would be a PITA, and would cost a fortune at a shop. and the bottom one is free shipping and i have a $35 coupon. seems like a good deal 1987-1993 Ford Mustang Catalytic Converter -...

    1992 LX Build thread!

    hmm, figured the cam would be a little better. but i guess i will start collecting parts. the cam swap seems pretty easy overall, new lifters at the same time. i want to swap to forged pistons too, but not sure how feasible that is without removing the engine. and the injector idea seems like a...

    1992 LX Build thread!

    92 A4LD to T5 swap questions and thoghts

    so i found a T5 out of a SVO, bellhousing, clutch cable, clutch set, flywheel, driveshaft and Hurst shifter all for $400. seems like a pretty good deal to me, all i need is the pedal asembely. and i can use the stock cross-member with slight modification right? he has a crossmember too, but if...

    92 A4LD to T5 swap questions and thoghts

    thanks for the help! i'll be doing the intake mod asap, and will start looking for the ranger header. i think i'll grab some exhaust pipe, a high flow cat and muffler and do it all at once. probably once i drop a T5 in. i think i'll end up leaving this thing N/A for awhile. and focus on...

    92 A4LD to T5 swap questions and thoghts

    yeah, ive been debating what i want to do to mine. i've always wanted to turbo it, but idk how long that is away. i found a set of forged pistons i may grab, and do a quick re-ring and freshen up the top end. then do a quick hi-flow cat and muffler exhaust. did the Ranger header bolt right up...

    92 A4LD to T5 swap questions and thoghts

    hmm, i suppose thats close. im still just very worried about the gear ratios and spacing. im gonna do a little more research. i REALLY want to do this swap, its a great deal. but am just wary

    92 A4LD to T5 swap questions and thoghts
