    Interior and Upholstery How to remove seatbelt torx screw

    I have a bitch of a time with those same bolts. Impact, breaker bar, heat, welding on a nut, etc. Nothing worked. Must have busted 4-5 torx bits on these. Eventually I had to cut the seatbelts off, drill out the spot welds and replace those panels. The only two bolts that have ever...

    2000 GT: Interior color change?

    $100 local FB marketplace grab. Still haven’t committed to this, but I figure it wouldn’t hurt to grab some parts and start restoring them. Clean up, respray, see how nice I can get panels. But still on the fence. My interior is mint now. Only way I go forward with this is if I can get...

    Hello and Instrument Wiring

    I don't have the 1982 wiring diagrams myself. But here's a location where you can buy the EVTM's for your generation which will come in handy https://lmr.com/item/LRS-WM7986/newrad-solutions-mustang-electrical-vacuum-manual-usb-79-86

    Console wiring plug

    I know i'm late, but light blue/red stripe is standard in the Mustang for instrument illumination. In this case, it is the PRNDL light plug. 2 wires in each side As for the EVTM, I like this PDF version as it contains all 87-93 EVTM's and you can search it. $28 I do have paper copies...

    91 LX 5.0 getting hot when a/c is running

    SO what's the state of the cooling system? I assume stock? WIth engine off, grab the cooling fan and try to spin it. How much resistance do you have? A decent amount or does it almost freewheel?

    Suspension Bushings for SN95 Steering Rack with UPR K Member

    Agree with no to offset bushings. To run those you really need a bumpsteer kit and to actually measure the bumpsteer. Some standard prothane or energy suspension units will work fine. I think the year span is something like 81-04 as the later Fox racks and SN95 racks all had essentially the...

    91 LX 5.0 getting hot when a/c is running

    Is this mostly while at idle? Or while driving or both?

    2000 GT: Interior color change?

    But onto more important questions Discovered the front pads in using on my cobra brakes are $10 pads I bought years ago as a mockup. Oops didn’t mean to run those. They lack bite. So…of these two pads. Which would you run.

    2000 GT: Interior color change?

    I think it's a matter of what pops up on FB marketplace over the next few months. I'm hoping to get most of an interior in a partout. I already have mint front seats

    2000 GT: Interior color change?

    You guys saw what i started with right? You should know by now that I don't settle for anything but perfection. So if i go this route, it will look just as good. Another kinda reason I want to do this. My old 2003GT had dark charcoal interior. This is kinda another nostalgia move for me...

    2000 GT: Interior color change?

    Top will get changed too. I just feel bad because it’s brand new. But i've already picked out out and was debating doing it myself over the winter. Essentially I want a triple black GT vert Might pull the stock exhaust off too and stick some flowmasters on it.

    2000 GT: Interior color change?

    So the more i drive this car the more I like it, and the thought of selling it goes out the window. Plus the market is crap anyway for convertibles it seems. One thing i've disliked is the tan interior and top. Top is easy to hide when i fold it down and put the boot on, but can't get past...

    93 5.0 Microsquirt with Stage 3 trickflow tuning issues

    SO i made some changes to both the above menus. SOmething to try but you'll need to be in front of it and make some tweaks. Idle cranking/duty steps : Made some changes for more air at hot start Idle RPM Advance Timing: Made a slight curve. 20 degrees as RPM gets down to 750, 15 degrees at...

    93 5.0 Microsquirt with Stage 3 trickflow tuning issues

    And then here is your idle advance. As engine load increases, this will change timing to increase torque at idle. SHould help with stalling once fan comes on. Essentially if you have no torque at idle, it's timing related. Yours is 15 degrees across the board. Essentially no advance. Way...

    93 5.0 Microsquirt with Stage 3 trickflow tuning issues

    So i'll have to let you sort through the mechanical issues there as I can't help with that unfortunately. But regarding the hot start issue. Here's where you can control the IAC opening percentage during crank. So right around 70-80 degrees, it looks like you are at 80% duty cycle. But...
