    Expired '93 2.3 Turbo Hatch F/s Or Trade

    1993 Black hatch with a 2.3 turbo/WC 5-speed from an '86 Turbo Coupe. Engine has around 130k, so does the car. Formerly an automic 4 cylinder car. 7.5 inch rear with limited slip unit added and 3.73 gears. Working A/C, power nothing. Decent Pioneer DEH 3000 CD head unit with Aux input, all 6...

    Seat issues

    Not sure what the fix is for this. Seats are out of an '86 Turbo Coupe, identical to 87-89 sport seats with the extendable knee supports. The driver's seat creaks like an old rocking chair when I move, go through the gears, breath...... It's definitely isolated to the upper left shoulder area. I...

    Part-throttle bucking and hesitation

    As some of you may know, I recently swapped a 2.3 turbo in my 93. It runs great 90% of the time. I'm having an issue where the car will sometimes buck and not accelerate at part throttle. What is odd is how intermittenly it does this. It never does it/doesn't do it during the same drive time...

    The completed Turbo/T5 Swap....pics!

    My 93 Mustang with an 86 TC engine/T5. If you have questions, just ask. I never did post any worhtwhile pics. I'll be adding an oil pressure gauge and putting all three gauges under the radio. I used the TC seats, even though they are blue/gray, they are very comfortable. I was able to retain...

    Best way to power lights on new gauge?

    Installing a boost gauge and the instructions say to tap into the dimmer switch. I really think there has to be an easier way than taking the dash trim that far down to access the dimmer switch. I was looking for advice on how others have wired up aftermarket gauges to light them up...

    Trick to installing throw out bearing?

    Working on putting a T-bird turbo motor in my 93 4-banger. Where I need help from this crowd is installing the throw out bearing in the T5 tranny. I can't for the life of me get the new one installed. Hoping someone could give me a tip or trick. I can't get the dogbone on the pivot ball while...

    Brake/Clutch pedal assembly....

    Are the turbo coupe and mustang's manual pedal assembly interchangeable? I got about half way through pulling the TC's pedals last night and had a mini panic attack thinking I had no research that specifically told me they are the same. Stinger's write up on the T5 swap, as awesome as it is...

    Project SVOhwell close enough is underway

    So I picked up an '86 t-bird turbo coupe yesterday as my donor. It runs and drives great, but the body is just beyond what I want to tackle (serious hail damage, poorly repaired previous collision, missing mouldings, peeling clearcoat, etc.). Also the power windows and locks do not work, has no...

    Adding power windows and locks

    I was wondering if the wiring is already there to add power windows and locks to my '93. If it is does anyone know what all I'd need to get to do this? Besides the lock actuators, window motors and switches, what else would it take? Thanks!:nice:

    Down to a single stang - New edge is gone

    For the sake of the betterment of the fam, I've sold my '03. I'm down to a 4-banger fox body (but at least it's a nice one). I don't know how long I'll be out of the V8 brotherhood this time but I plan on it being a short time. Be kind to me, I'm claiming a long-time stang net member exemption...

    Did my SpeedCal die?

    The facts: Started the '03 up to drive for the first time in over 2 months yesterday because of the awesome weather (finally). I had to jump it because I suppose the theft light and the speedcal drained the battery during the hibernation. It started just fine so I let it idle for about 20...

    What is this on my oil cap?

    Went to change my oil today and when I open the oil fill this is what I find: It's been a year since the oil was changed, but less than 4k miles. I use Motorcraft 5W20 Synthetic Blend and have since I've owned it beginning at 29k miles, it now has 67k miles. As far as I could tell there was...

    Let's talk suspension maintenance

    So the "black pearl" feels sloppy in corners, beats my teeth out over bumps and potholes, and just generally feels loose. I realize that new struts in front and shocks in back are a must, but what else should I look at replacing to get it back feeling tight? I bought this car as a basket case in...

    MPG question

    I'd like to know how other 4-cylinder owners are doing. I'm always a little disappointed each time I calculate my MPG's after a fill up and end up between 21-22. I realize mine is an automatic and I do drive a combination of city/highway. Am I wrong to hope for 24-25 MPG's? My car is very up to...

    Anybody use these guys for bumpers?

    NPI heads on PI motor

    Please don't ask me why, I know it's not ideal but I'm curious. What would NPI heads do to compression on a PI shortblock? I'm assuming compression would be down in the 8.x:1 region??:shrug:

    Weird A4LD death

    So after bragging to my buddy about how good my little 2.3 is running, the tranny pukes on us right after going to a Mustang boneyard today. (got raped and paid $30 for a ds fender extension:rolleyes:). So I pull over at a convenient store after seeing the smoke show behind me and tranny fluid...

    Auto shifter area lights

    Since this is the first auto fox I've ever owned, I'm not sure if the PRNDL is suppose to light up. Mine don't but it seems like it should. If it should, and since mine doesn't, is there any advice on how to make it light up nicely?? Thanks!:flag:

    4.6 build in progress

    Just wanted to share what I'm working on. This is going in a fox body, but hopefully as I progress something I post will help someone else. I'll also be needing help I'm very sure! This is a 90k mile 2002 Romeo engine out of a police interceptor. Driver's side head dropped a valve and punched...

    Flywheel question

    Probably a stupid question, but...Are the flywheels on the 4.6 specific to manual/automatic transmissions? Looking at Jeg's site, they don't specify, however they have a flywheel bolt kit says "manual transmissions only".:shrug:
