It only gets worse as the years add on, then add higher priorities like your family (and their stuff going on), your home(s), your business and/or job requiring 50-60hrs/wk.
Let us know how it goes
+1 Sometimes I hate being a grown up. I'm only 42, but 17 was about 3 lifetimes ago. All the time I used to waste on my cars, whenever I wanted to. Friends came by, lots of help back then. Now, the next thing I'm gonna get done on the Mustang is after the whole rest of my life is content. Right about never, it seems. Shut off the computer, Ryan, get in the garage, thats where your 17 year old life should be. Thats where mine was, anyhow. Go get your hands dirty, go breathe fresh air, listen to loud mufflers and music, cuz the clock is ticking. The time comes awful fast when the computer is as close to your car life as you can get.
I am interestd in doing this upgrade myself, or just going with a trickflow upper and lower,
does anyone know of a complete step by step write up on how to do this?
getting close man! only like 30 more mins of work left! go finish it!
to tired. all i do is work on cars. i do it on the side for extra money and some days i just lose the motavation to come home and do it to my own.
that's where I am. I have enough engine, body, and suspension parts that I could prolly resurrect two fox's from a JY. I just dont have the time or energy, then there is family, work, and a house that refuses to let me have a moments peace and quiet.Ryan, if you ever saw the pile of parts I have waiting for install you would die. I have enough parts to build another fox.
I have so many i don't even know where to begin. For my engine alone I have gt-40P's, 1.7's, TFS stage 1 cam, cobra intake, 65mm tb, 24# injectors, MAF conversion, pushrods, lifters, etc etc. I cant put it together because i'm too busy installing mods all over the rest of the damn car.
Been sitting 6 years...kinda want to drive it this summer

Ok, theres a problem. This is supposed to be FUN, man. Making cars your whole life will make you hate them. You don't want to burn out on them, and its easy to do. Its early this year. Try this. Spend the whole next weekend with the garage shut, hang with friends somewhere else, anywhere else. Leave the Mustang alone, take out a chick, go to the movies, waste your money on nothing. On Monday, you'll miss it, you'll want to play throttle-jockey, and it'll be fun again.
I work on my car between girlfriends. Women will make you choose and it gets ugly!!!! I'm almost 28...I see the full weekends of playing with the car coming to a end soon. Then one day ill be lieing to the wife to sneak off and drink beers and fondle the car!!!
I don't wanna get any older!!! Damn this
OOPS sorry about the derail....Thats lookin' pretty sweet. Take care of her (The Car)
That's why you should do like I did: get ya' a woman that likes Mustangs, too, and isn't afraid to crawl under one with ya'.
I had this and it didn't work well for me, but everyones different.
I like the set up I have now. She has her Mercedes, likes going fast in the Mustang sometimes, and will go to races and shows for ME, not the cars and the experience. It works well if I want to do car stuff alone, also works that she will do it, if I ask.
Grabbing some beers (rootbeers for you underage guys) hanging with 4 or 5 good friends, ordering some wings later, wrenching on the car, talking about women, drunk times and everything else is a time honored tradition. When I brought a girl into it, it wasn't the same.
My .02 of course!
