    About to drop $2-$3k in mods...need confirmation its the right mods

    Typically I'd say you need to set your bar higher, but after a Honda "dominated" the mustang a few weeks ago (RIP babygirl) I say go get 'em! In general though I'm far happier stomping all over the yuppie punks in their LX chassied POS...

    Good Deal? 2000 Mustang GT Convertible, 63k miles, for $8,300?

    This gets me through my day most days, even more so now that it's getting truly warm outside. :nice:

    Transmission alignment.

    Quick update for all the helpful gentlemen that came in with advice, I crawled under her last week and found that my motor mounts (both) were pretty much nonexistent, so seeing as the mounts were shot and the tranny had been pounded on a bit before I got her I took her to a local shop (with a...

    Transmission alignment.

    I get what you're saying, I don't know if that's possible but it's something I'll look into when I crawl back under her tomorrow. I would like to replace the motor mounts seeing as they're old and worn but I'm trying to repair her on a budget right now, if I can't find anything else I may resort...

    Transmission alignment.

    Actually that is an interesting question, oddly enough the crossmember is stamped with marking denoting which side is the top side and which side is left and right...I think top and bottom are obvious enough not to need a stamp but I'm curious as to why left and right matter, there might very...

    Transmission alignment.

    Also no the k-member has never been out of the car, at least not during my ownership and yes I'm certain there is no gap, I've inspected it from top and bottom, when the transmission was installed aside from needing to wiggle the engine a little everything lined up and slid together like it was...

    Transmission alignment.

    The first description is dead on, unfortunately no I didn't support the engine when the transmission was out, though only because I couldn't. There's a skid plate like piece that sits directly under the oil pan (I'm assuming it's an aftermarket piece added by the previous owner after lowering...

    Transmission alignment.

    That's the only variable that's changed, the old transmission mount was torn in half so I replaced it while I was down there. Seeing as it's a brand new OEM mount I can't help but doubt that the mount is the problem though if lined up just fine before the addition of the new mount. And before...

    Transmission alignment.

    I'm referring to the orientation of the transmission in relation to the tunnel not the engine. Here's the problem, I recently replaced my clutch (and bearings, etc) and upon reinstalling the whole shebang I find myself faced with an entirely new issue, I'm now attempting to reinstall my shifter...

    Replacing my clutch

    I'm starting to wonder if there's something wrong with mine then because I couldn't even get the O2 socket in there by hand let alone on a wrench regardless of extensions and swivels. Hell I could barely get my fingers on the thing.

    Replacing my clutch

    Problem was the O2 sensor was blocking my shot at the bottom flange bolt on the passenger side, after no response I just got tired of banging my head against the jack stands trying to find a better angle and just tore it off, I'll replace it with a new one later but for now I needed to get the...

    Port And Polished Heads

    Huh, well a lot of this is new to me, I've never really dug into much beyond repairs as needed, hands on modding is a whole new journey that I'm enjoying...or will enjoy again once I get this #^$% clutch done...thanks for the info.

    Port And Polished Heads

    My question is does anybody make an intake manifold like that for the 2v? Honestly I've never seen anything like that before and I'm curious now.

    Replacing my clutch

    Ok I've seen numerous posts from guys saying don't do it, take it to a shop, etc. Looking back I really should've listened but it's too late now. Problem A most shops are asking almost $500 just in labor to change the clutch using my parts, problem B I've always done my own work unless the...

    Signature issues?

    And suddenly it's back, I don't know if it was a server issue or if a mod had a hand in this but for whatever reason I'm glad to have it back :)

    Signature issues?

    Ok that might be it, I think it was closer to 640x480 but as to the more than once I've only posted one picture in my sig thus far.
