    what kind of art do you have on your walls?

    That'd be a nice flag:nice:I got a couple state flags that were flying over the Illinois Dept of Transportation yard I work at from winters past hanging sideways next to my old Quality Care Dale Jarrett flags(from when I was a NASBORE fan) next to the Sox 05 and now the Hawks 10 Championship...

    Which subframe connectors?

    Maximum Motorsports are the king, the ones from Latemodel will work fine too-powder coated, welded in with the plates, you're good to go.:nice:

    Bored and raining so i made a quick sound clip.

    :nice:sounds nice, and it ain't stock-if you had the old headers, H-pipe and cat back we wouldn't know it was running! Lol!! Nice car brother!

    Poll: 87 Coupe: Wing Or No Wing? That is the question!

    All right, I looked several times and I agree-the stock little wing does work, and ifn I had a notch it would still have nothing. Something about a pile of plastic stuck all over a car, swoopy dams and foils, wings with 3 levels, I just don't get it. So cheesy you think Kraft makes cars.

    Great quote from another forum

    I guess I've been lucky, 23 years of racin, never had my ass handed to me by any sorta Honda. I guess I'm just old too, no matter what you do to it, how much $ thrown at it, or how fast it goes, its still a Honda. It can go to work, or get the kids, or to the mall better than most Mustangs, cuz...

    what kind of art do you have on your walls?

    Now thats cool!:nice:I'd prolly hit my head on one and get pissed though, I have the Mustang parking only sign of course, an I55 sign I, uh, liberated from work:D, but my White Sox 05 World Series flag is going in the man cave next to the new Blackhawks Stanley Cup champion flag:nice:

    Working on cars in this heat

    Doing work on the LX would become work real fast if I hated doing it, it'd make you not want the car anymore real fast too. I hate HAVING to work on it, I love WANTING to. I'd bet a lot of guys don't have a Mustang anymore just for the pita effect.

    Wow, I'm a founding member

    You didn't confuse me, although I don't know if I can welcome you back to something you founded? :shrug: Anyhow, I wasn't around for ithe founding, even though I've had and raced 5.0's since 1987. It is nice to see old timers on, as there needs to be more actual Mustangers and a few less...

    Working on cars in this heat

    I'm too old and don't need the toy car that bad. I work outside, and in the heat or cold I gotta get paid to be out there-although I can't think an indoor job I'd rather have. But recreational mechanical work should be fun, not suck.

    To mod, or not to mod...what do you think??

    :nice:Not a lot of people get that, or they just don't want to. Just for fun, everyone who says they haven't gone up should go shop for one. Not just page through the ads, but go really look for one. A pristine stock- and thats air silencer, dual catted H pipe, under shall we say, 40K on the...

    Poll: 87 Coupe: Wing Or No Wing? That is the question!

    No wings anytime on anything not going to Talladega, Le Mans, Bonneville or Route 66 or any other real race venue. Its not an aircraft, it never ever uses wings. Very nice notch:nice:

    To mod, or not to mod...what do you think??

    Every time I go to any track I'd say the 5.0 Fox has a pretty high bar!:nice:Personally I greatly enjoy the ported E7's and the $200 bucks they cost me, as well as the TMoss lower intake thrown on my speed density 88 and with no other tweaks. Ok, it has a better stock cam than any other stock...

    To mod, or not to mod...what do you think??

    :nice:Thats right, a friend of mine only likes silly low mile, pristine(he's easily the most anal retentive car guy I've ever met) examples, and he shops for Fox's. His last 93 Cobra was $19K, with 18K on the clock with NO mods. His quest lately is a low mile notch, of the showroom variety, and...

    how long have you had your car and how much have you spent?

    Found this one in February 05, $300 to buy, prolly another $700 in parts, motor being done now. Had my first in 87, had one in one form or another ever since then. Its the best platform for the guy who knows how to work on his own car but doesn't want to dread it. Never count you're money while...

    Ok Pictures of the 90 GT I just bought...

    I would guess you had a lot of people ask what those tailights are from- when I had the Capri in the garage I had guys I thought knew what they were looking at ask me what it was!I woulda liked to see what the Capri would've been if they kept it in the lineup after 86, woulda been very cool I...

    Whats is the top speed a stock 5.0 can do?

    :DNice, the calculator is the fastest thing one can put on their car!

    Whats is the top speed a stock 5.0 can do?

    That would be,"What do you mean, an African or European Swallow?":lol: I only had my 86 up to 122, but that was at the big end of US 30 in 89, only 1320 feet from where I was stopped- however, I do vividly recall the butt-pucker that trying to slow it down brought on.:eek: Learned lesson #1...

    Ok Pictures of the 90 GT I just bought...

    Being the owner of a 5.0 since 87, the only guy changing his tail lights around here back in the day actually put cheese graders ON his 87 LX hatch. Not my cup of tea mind you:notnice:, but the whole grader idea was the 66 GTO thing I think. I don't remember the LX jobbies showing up on GT's til...
