    Welcome to V8Mustang.com Owned by a local friend that has worked on tuning many guy's cars. Ben has worked with the guy that developed the system since he lives here in Houston. He has them for $549, free shipping, but he says the manufacturer is out of stock until next month.

    Ford Racing Brake Kit

    No. It has the 3/4" longer 94-98 rear axles. Ford had a special offset 17x9 Cobra R rear wheel designed for the kit that mounted the wheel further in the opening. It has been discontinued, so you would have to find some aftermarket wheels that you could specify the offset & backspacing to put...

    New Fox owner: Old Member!!

    It does look good! When cared for this paint can hold up well, especially for a red and a non clear coat. Put some polish for dark colors on it and it can really shine. Up until my car was about 15 yrs old the paint would look great after I compounded, polished & waxed it up. But now my...

    ebay rules

    Reading the original auction it was geared towards the bumper bar. If you had bid BEFORE he changed it, you would for sure have a reason to back out through Ebay. But if you bid after he added the info, then Ebay would most likely deem that you read the auction at the moment the bid was...

    New Fox owner: Old Member!!

    Thanks, It needs a repaint, it is almost looking like a rat rod after 22 years in the Houston sun! The color is Medium Cabernet. Here is a pic I found that inspired me to use the Bullitt wheels. This car looks the same as mine, except for the spoiler, I have a GT one on mine...

    New Fox owner: Old Member!!

    Congrats on the new (to you) Fox! Hope you can have fun fixing it up the way you want. But I LOVE your 65! My dad bought an almost identical 65 fastback 2 days after I was born back in March 1965, white with blue interior. Man, I wish he didn't sell it to a teenager at the gas station when...

    SN95 fronts and line lock?

    If your line lock has the two front lines plumbed into the output, then a single input line from the MC or the PV, then you should be fine as the 3rd port is not used. But if both ports are plumbed into the LL input, then you will just need to plumb the rear line from the MC into the LL input...

    Vehicle Speed Sensor on 87 GT?

    Good info guys! I'll keep it in mind for when I eventually convert my car to MAF (when I rebuild it and fix it up in a few years). Hopefully the info will help the original poster also.

    Problems

    Computer does not matter much from auto to manual. They will work OK with either one. The only real change is the wiring bypassing the neutral safety switch and hook up the clutch safety switch instead. But like Joe said, the pump should come on for a few seconds then stop until you actually...

    Vehicle Speed Sensor on 87 GT?

    So if that is true, then anyone that has converted their non cruise control equipped 87 or 88 to MAF might have the same problem? Interesting info to know! I'll look at my wiring diagrams and see what I can find. Thanks!

    Vehicle Speed Sensor on 87 GT?

    The VSS is basically only there for the cruise control. If you don't have cruise, then it was not equipped with the VSS. My 87 does not have it. But later in the Fox years, like 89 or so, Ford put the VSS on all cars. As far as if it is tied into the main computer, I'm not sure but I don't...

    buncha questions

    Locks and windows are totally separate. Locks have constant power and a fusible link under the hood, windows are key on power and have a circuit breaker. Sounds like it is just your actuators that are bad. Mine have stuck and occasionally the drivers side button will not work the passenger...

    removing gt kit?

    That car does not look too bad. The only parts of the GTs I don't like are the rear and the closed front grille. That is the reason I got an LX instead of a GT. I thought about putting the front & side ground effects on mine years ago, but didn't want the rear bumper. Then Ford went and...

    rear dics brakes

    My guess is that since you have 4 lug rear disc, that it is the Turbocoupe/ 93 Cobra setup or the Ford Motorsports/SSBC disc conversion. You need to take some pics of the calipers and the brackets that mount to the axle housing for us to say for sure. If you have either of these you can use...

    So someone tried to break into my car...

    What I did was pull the clip that holds the lock cylinder in place and removed the lock from the door while it was still attached to the rod. There is enough slack so you can slightly pull the lock and the rod out of the door. Then I unhooked the lock cylinder from the rod, and clamped some...

    So someone tried to break into my car...

    Just get a used lock cylinder from a salvage car. Someone did the same on mine, while I was at a salvage yard! Cost me like $10 for a locksmith to rekey it to match my door keys. To remove & replace is easy, if you are careful and don't drop the lock rod into the door, you don't even...

    Window motor R&R

    The only thing I can add is you will have to remove it through the speaker hole, so if you have door speakers, you will have to remove the speaker first. Good luck!

    Any idea what this is?

    Ditto. I've pulled mine so it hangs out the front of my seat and I've bent the retaining clip back a bit. That way I can pull it as a cheap kill switch when I park it someplace I don't trust 100%.

    Traded in the '03 GT tonight

    LOL! I guess you kept your plates, probably eventually for the 88, right? You need one of those "My other car is a 5.0" license plate frames. You got me looking again last night. Found a nice G37S manual for 27.5K, but that's still too much for me to spend.
