    Tape on front end for roadtrip...safe??

    It sure will be funny to see it going down the road, all taped up. A roll or two should suffice. Buy the 2" (or even 3") stuff, though. You dont want to be taping/untaping all day.

    Tape on front end for roadtrip...safe??

    And a bra will do more damage than the tape or the rocks will. You can double up (or even triple) the layers on the leading edges. Although it's true that a direct hit from a rock at 80mph will do damage no matter what, you can minimize the damage by having the tape on there. (And with no...

    Lowered the Bullitt!!

    Lol! Let the games begin! Who wants to bet that insde a year this car will be as modded as the 95 he just sold? (You said you weren't going to mod the Bullit. We all knew better. ;) Just messing with ya.) Awesome looking car. My kind of mod, too..."free".

    Deep doo doo

    Damn, Chris! Glad to hear it! Sounds like you made a good impression on the judge. (Us old guys dont take it in the nuts in court, like them whippersnappers do. ;) )

    2.3l durability

    And they have been known to make gratuitous horsepower with a turbo. And it doesnt affect durability. Turbo Coupes, SVO Mustangs and Merkur XR4ti's regularly see 200k miles with tons of boost thrown at them. ;)

    If u can't beat 'em.....

    Yaaaa! Me too! I saw a sweetheart red 94 Corvette the other day. Damn, that's a good looking car. I can't see anywhere that I'd need to hot rod it. Wheels and tires are good. Stance is good. Power is good. Damn! Bowtie on the hood. I might try one, just for the fun of it. Got kids to...

    Congratulations Adam95GT, our July 2009 SN of the Month Winner!

    Couldn't have been given to a more deserving guy. You have MANY cool stories (and an uncool one or two) to tell about getting this car to where it is. Congrats, man!

    Mustang got hit by idiot, Not 56k Friendly

    THAT is not bad at all! I would have a frame shop "pull" that front-end. Does your buddy do that or know someone that would give you a good deal? After that, it's just a matter of hanging parts and that's easy. Before I'd R&R that front subframe, I'd just swap all of the good stuff over...

    Cannot make up my mind

    Curb appeal is really high on a Black on Black vert. That's what I'd sell. I just bought an 85 Merkur XR4ti 5 speed. Selling my 94 hardtop, because it's NOT a 5 speed. It's also a bunch more money to make "really fun" than the XR. (I didn't know I was buying the "red headed stepchild of...

    Troubleshooting Speakers (nonStang)

    I have used a battery (AA or 9v) to check speakers in the past. You could do that. Just touch the terminals to the terminals on the batt for a split second. If the speaker is good, you'll get a little "pop" and the diaphragm will move. An 8 ohm or 4 ohm speaker does NOT refer to...

    Put the calipers, rotors, pads and braided lines on and you WILL NOT be sorry! Nuff said.

    Free NRA membership....

    I agree with you but, there are some here that dont agree with my (our) stand on gun/ammo ownership. That's why I made the "firesuit" comment. I wasn't going to join the NRA because I feel like my name and address are going to be on a "list" somewhere. "They" would go to that list to locate...

    Im trying so hard....

    Too bad mines an auto. I'm on the other end of the scale on mine. I have three d**ks a week wanting to trade their Honda for it. Been trying for about 2 months, now.

    Project 1973 Super Beetle Not 56k Friendly

    Quick! Everyone! Buy some stock in JC Whitney! Something tells me they are about to receive a few rather large orders for parts! (Of course, you can BUILD a complete Beetle from JCW parts for what it would cost to HCI a Mustang.) Cool find! You gonna have him help you restore it?

    My 1994 GT Mustang Aode to T5 Conversion w/PICS!

    Damn nice writeup!!!! Actually, the "internals" are exactly the same, except for the gear ratios. Since the 4 bangers have 1st gear ratios that multiply by either 3.97/1 or 4.10/1, the torque INPUT that the trans can handle is lower. V8 trannies have either 2.95/1 or 3.35/1, so they don't...
