    Congrats to Alcino!

    thanks everyone Feeble I have the #15-600,funny, it says "fits all, but mustang ii". No it did not fit. I had to beat the pan in where it was touching the steering rack. Since I changed from power to the flaming river manual rack it gave more clearance and required less beating. I...

    Congrats to Alcino!

    Thanks, Roadster: Yes my suspension is basically the write up. I did elogate the adjustment slots(not much, just a 1/8th inch) for the front a-arms to get a little more camber(-1.5) and caster(+4.0) in the front. Also I had the rear sway bar off which probably helped my slalom, but I...

    Congrats to Alcino!

    Thanks for the good words. This whole experience has been my dream come true and then some. I knew my car could handle OK but had no idea my car would break the slalom record and almost pull 1g. With the 1/4 time, that was the stickiest track I have ever been on. Never felt my car hook and...

    Congrats to Alcino!

    I feel our cars are small enough to use relatively small tires to handle great( I like to reduce unsprung and rotation weight as much as possible). At the moment I'm using 205/50/15 in the front and 225/50/15 in the rear. Very small for the "pro-touring" theme, but as you will see in the...

    Congrats to Alcino!

    manny, I got the fenders from a bucket of bondo and a sheet of fiberglass. If I could go back in time I would have just tubed the rear and left the panels alone. Gives way more room to raise the tire in the well to lower the car. But, everyone likes the look of the flares. Also with...

    Congrats to Alcino!

    Thanks, I always wanted my car in a mag and finally just sent a pic. After I sent in that pic I got a call a few days later from the editor asking about my car. He said that he was doing a lot of write ups on expensive cars and wanted to have a more budget minded project that reflected...

    headlight switch removal?????????

    My head lights wouldn't turn on a while back. It wasn't the light switch but the dimmer on the floor board that was out. Just an alternative if the new light switch doesn't solve your problem. Alcino

    VIS Racing offers a carbon fiber hood!

    Hey guys, I got them to post the pic of the hood on the car since there was none before. Then that's when the Mav pic showed up. I emailed them stating the car in the pic is a Mav not a II. They said it was the same hood. I said no way and sent them a pic of a II. Anyway One of their...

    VIS Racing offers a carbon fiber hood!

    Anyone can have their opinions on what is cool or not. If you don't like the weave, then paint the muther. I thought everyone would love that there are still some companies cranking new parts out for our "wannabe" mustang. Don't you guys hate seeing: Parts for Mustangs 64-73,79-present, in...

    VIS Racing offers a carbon fiber hood!

    Was stumbling around the www.visracing.com website for no known reason and I thought I would humor myself to see if they made anything for the II. And there was a listing for a hood. No pics or description of style. Anyone got one or know someone who does or the quality of VIS racing...

    CA Smog Exempt

    Was it easy to get? Did they have to check the car or any other inspection? Will the COPS inforce the driving only to historic or club events rule? I still want to drive my car every once and a while to work. This sounds really cool option since it looks like the rolling exemption is going...

    just passed through the Assembly of transportation. Now I'm really worried. I think one more hearing and then it's up to the govenator. I'm thinking he will sign it to keep the tree huggers at bay. this depresses me so :( Alcino
