    Selling stock black leather seats outta 94 GT...

    Most that have sold on here in the past have gone for $400 in excellent condition. I'm just wondering why everytime someone sells a black or white pair on here. I'm always broke.

    A Wheelie tough decision

    I never got laughed at drag racing with 13X9 wheels with 22X8 autocross slicks on them...what's wrong with 13" :) You always have the option of finding 14" or 15" FOX platform car wheels, or for total "WHY" factor you can try '65 Mustang/Falcon 4-lug axles that directly fit the Datsun wheels...

    Northwest Roundup

    You know, you could've done the 40+mile drive to my place and talked me out of one of my spare harnesses... Not sure if I'll be there or not. If I do show up, it'll be in the '78 T-Top since that's the only running one. I've just got too much going on this summer to prepare it for a...

    Ride Height

    back in my early days, I cut a full coil off my V6 springs and it just barely tucked the 195-60/14's into the wheel well. I believe that's more than a 1" drop.

    what compares to a contour 2.5 svt

    If you're not sticking to Ford...A Mitsubishi Eclipse GST or GSX would make the 5.0L obsolete... mine averages 22mpg for a mixed commute and gets ~27 mpg on the freeway. It's making around 270 flywheel hp right now with unrestrictive intake and a slightly bigger turbo. It also sticks to the...

    Anyone need gauges?

    I'm looking for a 2 5/8" 0-30psi boost gauge for my 2.3L ... Silver, preferrably Phantom series...I could use a tach and speedo too, but want 3 3/8".

    re-installing transmissions

    Automatic: make sure the torque converter is seated all the way in. I've had the same problem more than once thinking the torque converter was all the way in and finding out it's not when it came time to bolt it down. You end up having to spin the torque converter while pushing it in to get...

    Need help in identifying a mustang

    No real GT available in '81...kinda a sucky year for the Mustang. It's one of the oddballs like the '74 that had no V8 available, it's the year the 302 wasn't available so it was stuck with a 255ci V8. 4.2L - 255ci - VV carb (variable venturi) - 8.8:1 compression - 118 hp @ 3800rpm - 193...

    my latest idea

    yep, Someday in the next couple years I'll have my second 2.3L Turbo Mustang II on the road...it'll make my 351W T-Top obsolete. Definately a good idea and it can be done pretty simply. Mine has been made unnecessarily complex so it's taking a while, but should be over 400 very streetable hp...

    Pitch/roll/understeer

    With all new parts, the steering should be solid an go where you point it...the twitching is probably caused by an improper alignment (I've had enough of them myself). If you've only got a front swaybar, is it the tiny one or the 1"? If it's the tiny one, try and find a new front/rear plus...

    History repeats? - Gas prices

    4-banger turbo is the way to go with gas right now... I'm expecting mine to put my 351W to shame and already got apprx 30mpg on it's first break-in trip. The 351W might as well be in storage since it costs $10 in gas just to warm it up. Even at 1/2 the gas prices, it was already a limited use...

    Gillis Valve

    On a 2.3L, if you build boost by free revving, something is wrong...usually timing is retarded. It can build boost, but it has to be spun past 5K rpm and doesn't prove anything. The imports seem to be different...my Eclipse will build 12psi on a free rev to 4500rpm. It's also got a turbo...

    Loop hole in DEQ with DMV/DOT ????? Worth the try...IMO

    last time I did it with my Eclipse, the whole thing was done online...like the DOL just looked at their computer to see that I'd passed emmissions. Never got a chance to show them any reciept that I'd passed.
