Welcoming my new fox

[MikeROD16]

Well here's the exhaust clip I told you i was going to post. The video is lacking quality because it was recorded high def. and had to reduce the file size. But i set the audio a high as possible. I needed the file under 100 mb. So here you go.

I had NO idea it was a 4cyl until he posted pics...

Mike (Mustang5L5) didn't either, judging by his 85/140 speedo comment. All 4cyls got the 85s (minus SVOs) and I'm sure Mike knew that!!!

I thought we were talking about a 5.0 until I saw the underhood pic!

 

[MikeROD16]

lol! i wish it were a 5.0 but at the same time im glad its a 2.3. cheaper insurance, less gas, and its fun to drive. not as much as a 5.0 but i got my gas guzzler sitting in my parking lot lol

 

[MikeROD16]

and i know its 5.0 talk, but i wanted to share it with the 5.0 guys and gals.

 

[Darkwriter77]

It'd be a good donor for a 5.0 swap in the future...

I was really confused when the under hood pic popped up, didn't expect 2.3, so none of it was where I thought! Don't do that to me, I was creeped out! I need a drink!

:d

Right? I'm not up to just glancing at a pic, of things I seen twisted in about all the directions there are, and, POW- nothing is where it goes! Like those marines that hafta assemble their weapon blindfolded, but throw a spoon in the middle while they're doing it- or moving Helen Keller's furniture!

pwned by not being able to get key in ignition at first :

nice lil coupe! begs for a 2.3 turbo motor. :d:

Haha wasn't his name like Ron Burgandy or something, I don't remember its been a while since I seen that movie lol

Yes his name was Ron Burgandy, but in the beginning of the movie when they were narrating they called him the balls... little joke for those who watched the movie

lol the key for some reason needs to be put in and then put in again to go fully in. sometimes itll just go in first try. and i WISH i had a turbo to put in it.

ummm yeah, my gt40 motor gets the same gas mileage that my 93 dual plug four banger did and it has more than twice the ponies.

just cause it has half the cylinders doesnt mean that it's a gas miser. half the time my four cylinder was only knocking down 16-18mpg in the city and that was with a stick. my 5.0 gets roughly the same.

 

[MikeROD16]

It all depends how you drive

 

[ryan218]

i have a svo turbo/manifold sitting in my room.... :

 

[MikeROD16]

lol just out of curiosity, why would you have one?

 

[stykthyn]

It all depends how you drive

lol, if you say so.
put a 4:10 posi in the back and go beat the snot out of it.

 

[MikeROD16]

lol, well i do have an 8.8 ready for my car. I just need to find the 4.10's. 3.73 is what i have now on the 7.5. i need some better take off lol.

SVO/turbocoupe swap time NOW!!! When I sold my SVO I swore to myself and the good Lord above that I would one day build a Coupe with SVO/Tcoupe parts, power, handling and different!

[MikeROD16]

I wish I had the money for that. If anyone wants to donate SVO/Turbocoupe parts, feel free to PM hahaha.

But thats in my future plans. For now, I'll be doing minor suspension work.

My 4cyl got awful mileage as well... Main reason, you NEED to be hard on the throttle to keep up with regular traffic. The car still weighs a lot, so even being 4 cyl it takes a lot to make it go.

Congrats on the purchase though, we are all excited about getting a new car!
