    What's it Worth? Whats my 91 Hatch worth roughly?

    91 Hatch, about 150K miles, OK paint and body. 347, Tremec TKO 600, mildly built 8.8, Bullitt brakes, tons of stuff done to it. I have it listed for $9K right now with the expectation to go lower, but have had no bites. South Texas area if it matters.

    10 year anniversary

    Hard to believe it's been 10 years since I picked this car up. Spent a lot of time turning wrenches on it. Just put the wheels and tires from my Cobra on it, now I actually have traction. Need to roll the quarters a bit, and put more rack limiters in.

    03 Cobra Dies At Random

    Been chasing this problem for a couple of months now and running out of ideas. The first time I had been driving for a bit (15 minutes or so) and was headed back home, in third gear, A/C on, and rolled into the throttle (60% or so at about 60mph). The car was making boost (10ish psi) and then...

    What Do You Guys Think? 275/40/17's On The Front Of A 91lx?

    My 245/45/17's aren't cutting it, I don't have enough rear traction. Between the 17x8's and the Bullitt brakes on the front, it is crazy easy to lock up the tires under moderate braking. I am looking at moving up to 17x9's all the way around, and I would like to be able to rotate the tires. This...

    Trying To Fix My A/c

    Hey guys, kind of frustrated here. Could years ago I had a slow leak in my a/c system on the LX. This was right about the time I was planning on swapping the engine. I discovered it was the high pressure hose that was leaking so I swapped it out while I had everything apart. Fast forward to...

    So I Drove The Lx On The Street For The First Time In 6 Months (bonus Pics Of New Garage)

    My LX has been sitting since the last time it left me stranded (roughly last October). Unable to track down an actual reason why it was dying on me while cruising I shotgunned the car with parts. I generally try not to do this, but it was stuff that I either wanted to replace or probably needed...

    Potential Dumb Diff Question

    So the trac-lok in my 8.8 is shot. When I have it on stands I can rotate one of the rear wheels with the car in gear and see the opposite side rotating in the other direction. However at some point in the car's life someone put 3.55 gears in it (have verified with the cover off). I am happy with...

    Lx Left Me Stranded Again

    Was on my way to work. Rolled up on a stop light and it died. I couldn't get it restarted. Last time it did this it ended up being the battery (intermittent cell). Not the case this time. Since it would spin over at normal speed, but wouldn't fire. Over the course of the next 15-20 minutes it...

    Mustang Related (not Fox)

    I figured I'd post here since you guys know me better and there isn't much traffic in the 1st gen side of the forums. I was out poking around on my wife's 67 today. Decided to pull the "battery box" (code for a chunk of sheet metal shaped like an L). Found rot in the core support and inner...

    Be Sure To Check Out Those Switches Folks...

    Took my 91 in to get inspected today. The inspector came back and told me that my interior blinkers weren't working despite them functioning on the outside of the car. Said he had to bump the key to get them to work. I had heard about the late 80's early 90's Fords having problems with switches...

    Small Rant Thread.

    I'd like to take a little time right now to warn others that are considering options to tune their car. I bought a Moates Quarter Horse setup (tuner, BE/EA, the works) a while back, and it has been the most bug ridden garbage I have ever had the displeasure of using. Keep in mind I have used...

    Finished My Exhaust Install Last Night Finally.

    Finished up my exhaust install last night and fired the car for the first time since last October. Went from Hooker shorties/H-pipe/Flowmasters to BBK LT's/H-pipe/Pypes CB with M80's. Wow, what a difference, picked up power, car doesn't drone anymore, idle is nice a deep like I wanted, and it...

    Shortening my dipstick tube

    I got my long tubes installed on my LX, but I'm having hell getting the silly dipstick back in. I think I can get it in if I cut the tube down after the collet that secures it to the pan. Which will expose more of the stick once it is inside the pan. This won't change the depth that the stick...

    Did Some Exploratory Surgery.

    Some of you might remember on my last trip to the track I got a cracked windshield and sprung an exhaust leak. Well I did one of those $12 home repair kits on the glass and it came out pretty good. Not perfect, but pretty dang good for $12. Finally had time to pull my exhaust tonight. I had...

    Finally Ran My 91 At The Track Last Night With The New Setup

    Last run with the old motor/trans it ran a best of 14.79@92. I turned a best of 13.55@107 with a 2.29 60' last night. I don't get out the track very often due to work so my driving sucks and my 17" Cooper radials were giving me fits all night. 1st and 2nd gear were mostly useless, car didn't...

    Got some of my parts on *pics*

    Just some quick P&S pics when I was on break today. I'm not real happy with the drop. I'm going to give the springs a little more time to settle, but I don't think they will sink anymore. Before: After:

    Test fitting some new wheels *pics*

    These are actually for my 12', but since I didn't have them on the car yet I wanted to see how they fit/looked on my 91. The tires are really too tall, but they fit. They are 18X9's (6.3 backspacing, +30mm offset) with 255/45's on them. They actually fit better then I thought they would. I had...
