Hello there, I'm the New Guy here. First off, I want you guys to know I am a converted person from driving Nissans, but only RWD ones. I've had cars set up mainly for SCCA racing because torque isnt as big a factor in that type of racing :D
I thought that everyone drove Mustangs, seeing them back home was no big deal, and I never thought I would own one. Then, I rode in a friends (Drew Shipley) Bullitt, and was very impressed with the way it handled. And GOD IT SOUNDED GOOD, nothing remotely like what I was driving. So I began my search, looked at 03-04 Cobras, 93 Cobras, some of the 99 and ups, and finally found the one, a 86 LX. Light, manual, big motor, seemed like a good combo. Well, the car I bought is nothing remotely close to stock.

hopefully, im prolly gonna try and get to bremerton this weekend, if the weathers nice, i dont have many details on the Mustang Round Up, but i'm going home on leave july 10th-29th, so i may have to find a place to store the new 'Stang.
 
its a T-trim and the motor is 9.5:1 compression, so dont wanna run too much boost thru it. Yes, I bought the one ebay, got it for a steal, 11K. Its the SVO block too, with forged internals, so that motor is worth what I paid for the car. The car flat HAULS man, and handles sweet too, because of the Koni adjustables. I'm freakin in love.
