    Stumped

    It can't get around the bolt it is solid behind them.

    big tranny problem

    I think it is easier to pull the whole thing bellhousing and all. When you put it back together make sure you put the torque converter on and turn to the right at the same time, it will click and slide further on to the shaft 3 times. Make sure you do this or you will have a hell of a time...

    brakes

    I did a 8.8 inch disc brake rear end (from a 88Turbocoupe) swap on my 89LX in 3 hours start to finish. I had a brake line made and that was almost $40. I am running on the stock master cylinder and booster for now and it is ok but to utilize the maximum braking power the master cylinder must be...

    NEW BES TIMES!!!

    Sounds like you have some of the bugs worked out. Everyone is going to the track and making me want to go. I have made 200 passes in the last couple years. A couple months ago I tore the motor down for some minor upgrades and the Spec stage 3 clutch and then had to have a couple of operations...

    Just a few questions about the 2.3 liter turbo

    I would seriously look into those T-Birds you will get hooked once you get one running right and they sure are a lot of fun... Knowledge is power (and of course a few $$$) with these things so start reading now. Good Luck..

    big tranny problem

    Sounds like a front seal. Do yourself a favor because you have to pull the transmission anyway and slap the t-5 5 speed in it.

    Pedal Assembly...what years can I use

    They should all interchange 79-93. Take a couple feet of 3/8 extentions to get to the brake booster nuts and go through the front of the dash. It is hard to see but you can snake the extentions through everything in there. If the rest of the steering stuff is out of the way it will be a pretty...

    rear seat delete

    I had the back of the rear seat in my coupe fly off and hit the back of the front seat's when I hit that 96 Towncar that did a u-turn in front of me @ 50mph. The 6x9's broke out and flew forward as well. The best part of this story aside from no one getting seriously hurt was the custom license...

    87-93 side windows fit 85?

    I'm sorry but they are not that easy. I have done this swap and it is much more extensive then that. First the old glass and sail panels will have to be removed and for the new one's to fit you will have to drill a couple holes to line up the mounting studs on the 87-93 glass. I had to take the...

    Heater Core Finally

    I think it is pretty hard to do with the motor in the car. Even with while doing the headgasket it would be tricky. But I have everything out of mine right now, the firewall has nothing on it but the brake booster and m/c. So no better time for me. Here is one link that I found. There are easier...

    Heater Core Finally

    There is a few better sites than that one. But I can't point you in the right direction because I seem to have lost my bookmarks (I hate it when that happens). Keep searching there are better ones. Someone else will know of them I'm sure. I need to do mine as well. My 89 is down for upgrades...

    '89 Mustang turbo?

    I take my 89 Turbo Mustang down to California (Sacramento, Stockton, Manteca mostly) every year in June, and I smile every time I pass a smog shop with my 3" exhaust with no cat and no emission stuff period. I pass in Washington with this set-up but they don't pop the hood up here..

    Did I get taken?

    It sucks when you have to pay more for repairs than you paid for the car. I guess you should have been charging for those Carfax reports. :stick: Thanks again for the report..

    Lug nuts...

    I am not positive on the ten holes but I am sure you will need some acorn lugnuts. Wal-Mart has them for about $4 a 4 pack.

    need help please

    Check the timing, if you have a catalytic converter might want to look at that as well.

    turbo coupes!!!!

    Last year it was running very low 10's I don't know if he broke the 9's yet. When I rode in it it was at the Friday Night Street Racing Event and they do not have any times or anything it is just straight up. Usually some 16year old throwing there arms up. I can't get the footage to my computer...

    Boost in neutral...a bad thing?

    BOV leaking causing a rich condition and creating a load therefore causing it to build boost.. :shrug:

    turbo coupes!!!!

    There is a Twin Turbo 91 Mustang 5.0 running the stock 8.8 rear with 650 RWHP!! He broke 3 T-5's so he built a C-4 and the rear is still holding up. I have rode in that car a few times down the 1/4 (with camcorder). It's cool to see a 140 speedometer buried..
