    Drifting!!!

    My car slides around when I drive on gravel roads and I can always control it, so I guess that makes me a rally racer right?

    Throttle cable conversion?

    I have heard of throttle cables getting stuck for one reason or another from time to time. I really doubt that this particular gremlin will show up.

    Important: need cam information

    No pinch for me, your thanks is enough. And keep your Kobe to yourself. :nono:

    A buddy of mine is wandering whts the easyest way to get 400RWHP out of a 2.3T?

    I think lots of stickers and an aluminum wing are in order here, but be careful as you might blow the welds on your intake. It happened to me right after my diamondplate floorpans flew off. :nice:

    Important: need cam information

    If you southerners want to know a good midwesterner trick try this; Instead of using one of your camshafts use one of your blowtorches to heat a Craftsman wrench red hot to cauterize the wound. If you use a combination wrench (instead of a socket/ratchet) you can get to all of the little...

    WATS THIS? 2.3L ***S! U GUYS ARE GAY

    What is with the mentality of some people that think it isnt a Stang unless it has a V8? Some of the first (back in 64) had a 101HP I-6. Feel the power! I could never look at a cherry 65 with an I-6 and think "why don't you drive it off a cliff?" This person is one of those you look...

    Blue Mustang Registry is a reality

    We will have to do that, that way those of us with more rough looking stangs can belong somewhere :D and Merc123: Many people have looked at my car in its post turbo conversion state and asked "so when are you going to paint it?" my reply is always "well there are X engine, suspension, and...

    Blue Mustang Registry is a reality

    Man, I hope somebody starts a Gray Mustang with Red Door Registry (GMRDR) so I too can feel like I belong somewhere. :stick: I am looking for other people that share not only my love for mustangs, but for Gray Mustangs with A Red Door (Drivers side preferably). :banana: :banana:

    gas guage problems

    I might have said to use a brass drift pin, but any day you can use a stick to fix your car is a good day in my book. :D I have had quite a few of those "good days" :rolleyes:

    Save the Stangs

    I have the best anti-theft device ever. Its called an ugly car. Grey with a red door, primered front end, and bondo on the other door. Oh yeah, I also have rust holes developing in the hood. :nice: There are two people on this earth that are not too embarassed to be seen driving it...

    gas guage problems

    Mine is somewhat similar, when it reads at 1/8th of a tank the most I can put in the tank is around 10 gallons. I just learned to deal with it.

    SVO lost it's innocence

    I used to duck hunt with a single shot (break action) 10 guage, and I would get bruises on my shoulder if we had a lot of ducks (and shooting)

    new to the board

    140 is right, I had a bad ground that would kill my dash display lights and while searching for the problem (wiggling wires and such) my injectors would click and the fuel pump would make a noise at the same time. Fixed that and everything was cool. HEY!! Whats the best header to use...

    Some turbo swap pics

    After my turbo swap I have a funky check engine light problem too. Starting at about 2500rpms it starts to glow slightly. By about 4500rpms it is glowing fully. Seems like my car's way of saying "I am making extra power right now"

    Tranny...

    Sounds normal to me, mine does that too. If you rev the engine to get it to the proper RPMs it should pop into first easily.

    Intermittent Dash lights problem

    I have been chasing down this wiring problem for a little while and I cannot seem to isolate it. My dash lights will sometimes go out which also nixes my windshield wipers, tachometer, lights, and makes my guages go all funky if they even work at all. Does anyone have any ideas on this...

    TPS set at 1.23?

    Hey, sorry to hijack this post, but I adjusted my TPS not too long ago as well. Was set at base of .8 volts and I set it to .96 volts. I couldn't get the WOT voltage set right though. The Highest I can get it to read is 4.0 volts as opposed to the recommended 4.9 volts. Could my TPS be...

    Found Probe parts in local JY

    Well, I got the intercooler and BOV from the probe. I paid $10 for the intercooler(which is in perfect shape), and another ten for a whole bunch of other goodies, including the BOV. I checked out the probe injectors and VAM. The injectors are white tops, so I left them, and the VAM has 6 or 8...

    lol my friends are dumb

    I turbo'ed and Manualed my 4cyl stang, I love it to death. It is a really basic setup (85 tc turbo, non IC, Computer, Small VAM, 9psi, ranger roller cam). it is so much more fun now. I am still working on all of the fine tuning, but it is so worth it. I especially like when I hear the turbo...

    worth the time to swap in a 5 spd?

    To hell with thinking about resale value. I put a T5 in both of my stangs and it made the fun factor go up. There is a significant amount of power freed up and that is especially important when your car has between 88 and 105 Horses
