    Heh. While I admit I have not been in any newer Corvettes, I never found the vettes up thru mid 80s to be very comfortable either, just don't like roof down on my head. I read about the seat cushion mod for miata's, and a 91 be cool, love the pop-ups. Who knows maybe I will do a monster miata...

    Don't fit in miata well at all. Way ahead of you on that one, it was 1st thing I thought about. I built a 5.0L MGB back about 20yrs ago, very similar size/weight, though miata run circles around a MG.

    Engine has fired. I am switching up intake stuff (ditching SN elbow and going Fox TB so I can lower the upper intake) and motor mounts to get the engine to fit better under a hood. Then lots of learning how to tun EFI. Probably wait until next winter to do suspension/interior related stuff.

    I think so too, I have always been partial to the SN since having the 95 vert that the wife would not let me mod. I got the running '94GT for $1500, not a super crazy deal, but important part fro me was the body is all there, no dent, dings, cracks and no rust. I don't do bodywork. Bone...

    Man I will tell you, stroker kits have gotten quite "affordable" these days and hard to beat a 408 kit in a 351W block for sheer grunt. I was going to go 408, but the price I got the 393 kit for was beyond rediculous and it included tons of parts beyond the stroker kit. In fact I have sold...

    Wow, I forgot about this thread! I guess I should update! I ended up finding a running high mile '94 5.0 coupe locally for a decent price. Car crossed 200k on the trip I took to pickup the 351W block for it. Then I found a steal on a 393 stroker kit, and then a '04 Cobra IRS... Engine is in...

    Megasquirt Digital Dash

    Very curious about this dash myself, they look really good! Is there a kit for the SN95+ cars? I think 94-2004 use same cluster size/design, just different wiring? Any option for the other "idiot lights" these cars have from the factory? ABS, Airbags, etc? How is glare when sun is out etc?

    New MSPnP2 in 94 Mustang, need help getting stable idle once warmed up.

    I was able to get the car thru warmup and to idle at full temp. Open loop idle got it done. I had to watch the PWN and over-ride it when I tried to drop idle too low. I am however seeing random blips/errors in tuner studio dash/datalogs? I am getting intermitent spikes in registered rpm> It...

    New MSPnP2 in 94 Mustang, need help getting stable idle once warmed up.

    94 Mustang Coupe 393 stroker, XE270HR Cam, 190CC Procomp heads, Speedmaster EFI Intakes, 36# injectors, stock 94 TB with fixed idle screw. I finally got it so the car will start and idle thru most of warmup. Idle is pretty solid and stable while warming up, but did not get out of warmup...

    1995 Mustang GT Megasquirt Timing and ignition settings question

    In your megasquirt timing video you had said you used PIP to disable your car? That made me think it was a normal thing and part of how the system worked, has that changed? I would hope my PIP is not bad as I have a brand new distributor I purchased for this project. At this point I cannot...

    1995 Mustang GT Megasquirt Timing and ignition settings question

    Does that go for the MSPnP Gen2 94/95 setups as well? Or should I get it close and then use the trigger wizard offset to adjust for any difference? I had my MS set to fixed 10* and it happened to have 11 offset in it. Opened trigger wizard and while cranking the target on wizard was 12, but...

    1995 Mustang GT Megasquirt Timing and ignition settings question

    Wow, incredible timing on this thread<pun intended>. I am struggling with a MSPnPGen2 as well. Glad to see I am not the only one with Spout out no run, I had folks on a MS group saying to pull it to set timing and was scratching my head as doing that I had no spark. I have a 393W build going...

    I have been out of the Mustang scene since about '04, and now gettign back into it so figured I would visit the old stomping grounds in my search. I am hoping some of you mustang guru's can offer some guidance. I am at a point where I am ready to start working on a project car. I recently...

    4-cyl mustang gas mileage?

    Not sure how people are getting these extreme numbers, my 4cyl auto got 19mpg AVG. I do almost exactly 50/50 surface versus highway 15miles each way.. That is computed over 4 tanks of fuel with little fluctuation.. My 95 Vert 5spd gets 15-17mpg on the same commute depending on how much I...
