    Used my mustang for some good tonight...

    Was at spring break at Port Aransas, Tx about 10 years ago (yeah I'm old) when a drunk dumbass was driving (a camaro of all things) through a large group of people on the beach. He hit a couple of them and kept driving. So many people around, he could not drive quickly, so the people he hit and...

    Take a look what stopped by my house PICS

    Pretty nice ride. :hail2: Have to agree about the front spoiler. It's a bit much. Also, kinda porky at close to 4000lb. Not a bad deal for approx. $40k - $45k. Let me check my piggie bank. It has to be the best $40k car around, no question!

    347 ?

    There's all sorts of info on here about the 347. The older style 347 pistons had the oil ring land too high up into the wrist pin area allowing oil to get into the combustion chamber. Correct me if I'm wrong on the specifics, but anyway, the newer kits, most of them at least, don't have this...

    I need to shut someone up... go from high 14's to low 14's???

    Exactly. I think most ppl know that unmodified stangs can go 14.5 sec easily.

    89 gt...ignition switch

    Check to see if it was supposed to be replaced through a Ford recall. My 88GT was recalled and I put it off until it sparked one day on me.

    Clutch worn or stretched cable?

    Check your clutch quadrant. If you still have the wonderful factory plastic quadrant, then it probably should be replaced. Don't get another plastic one, they suck. BBK and others make good adjustable ones at about $100. This happened to me and I thought my tranny had gone out. I knew the...

    I need to shut someone up... go from high 14's to low 14's???

    This guy you're dealing with sounds like an idiot. Others are probably aware of this also, including the rice crowd (well maybe not them). Anyway, whatever you do or whatever happens, sounds like he will spin it to make himself look/feel better. Add the gears, smoke his ass when you get a...

    Long Tube Header Question: H or X pipe?

    Tell us how you really feel. Personally, BBKs are okay with me, especially for the $$. Which ever brand you go with, just get the x or h pipes the same brand as the headers and this will reduce fitment issues.

    Another F*%#$ nubi with questions.....

    Lots of good advise here. My opinion is to build a good foundation for your future mods. Such as installing upper/lower control arms for the rear axle before adding the gears. Make it safe and functional FIRST. In other words, fix all the little crap first so that it works like it's supposed to...

    What will my quarter mile time be?

    I'd say low 14s as is. Unhook the sway bar, bump timing, lose the spare tire (for the car of course) and stuff like that, blah blah blah, and it should help. If you add 10 decals at 10hp each to your car you can get another 100hp. That should get you into the upper 12s.

    how much for a new windshield installed? Door trim q also.

    If you can pull one from a used mustang you will have an original. :shrug: If you go that route, make sure to match body style since vert/coupes are diff. Down here in Tx I paid $40 for a nice windshield for my 89 vert at pick-n-pull. I haven't had it installed yet, but probably pretty cheap to...

    Kinda Cool story... I just got pulled over.

    3.73 question

    Most of the big Mustang parts houses have the gears you'll need (transmission and speedo). You'll like the acceleration w/373's. Don't forget to get your axle bearings replaced at the same time. When I had mine done it wasn't long before I had to get lower control arms to control it. If I...

    pix of my 92 vert.

    Oh man, what type of fogs are those? j/k Nice tripple black vert. A set of lower springs would really set off the look.

    Kinda Cool story... I just got pulled over.

    That's hilarious! Sometimes you get lucky. I always am nervous when multiple cops are on the scene. Sometimes it helps if the cop is/was a car-guy. If you hear them start to talk about "I used to have one...." then you know you have a chance. If they say "I always wanted one..." then be very...

    What do ya think of my stink...I mean sig

    No big deal but why does it keep showing I have 3 posts? Haven't posted that much, but wtf. It's been on 3 for about 3 months.

    What do ya think of my stink...I mean sig

    You need a scantily-clad bikini model (good one) on your hood, then it might look better. Livin' a lie, Livin' a lie, timmahh! Like the turbines myself. :nice:

    Bad to run no tailpipes?

    You should try to run your exhaust out the back or sides (in front of the tires of course) if this is your DD. If you're just using it for racing then that is another story. Carbon monoxide is a by-product of the combustion process and it will accumulate under the car. You will find yourself...

    Tailpipes showing on GTs.

    Another vote for the Cobra bumber. If you want a GT bumper leave the exhaust design alone, IMO. I have the Cervini's Cobra w/LX tails on my 88 GT.:D The DECH that DMAN has looks nice and is kinda rare. I don't think it's available from them anymore (think they're out of business), but I...
