'87 Mustang LX 5.0 hatch, 5sp man. White, with tan interior. Verified 96k miles, was a one family car for 23 years, always garaged-CA car its whole life. Original paint (some chipping on the top of the front fenders, but great for a 24-year-old car), original super-clean interior. Detailed...

Here's the scoop: I have an '87 LX hatch 5.0--5 spd, white with tan interior. Car is in very good original condition, though I need to touch up the original paint in a few spots. 95k original miles. Mechanically tip top--except for a minor oil pan gasket leak. I do like the car, but have...

Whomever installed my '87's exhaust did a bad job (upon inspection, one pipe is different than the other). So eventually, I am going to change out the entire exhaust including the cat-back. I love the look of the real OEM pipes-they just hang right and have the right length from the rear...

My car is a T5 swap I bought back in March. I noticed a sound from the tranny a few weeks after I brought it home (unfortunately the shop that did the change is no longer in business): a chatter sound (almost like a clutch fork noise) when the the clutch was depressed and in gear, AND a light...

After I fill the tank, my gas gauge goes way up beyond the border of the gauge. (Needle is barely visible.) It sort of settles down (though not accurate) when the tank becomes less than half full. I've had similar issues with my other cars, but this one is the worst. I never bothered fixing...

I can't decide which gears to buy for my stock LX (5 speed). I was originally going to go with 3.55s to leave a little highway room, but I'm wondering if I'd be happier with 3.73s? I do drive my car occasionally on the highway. Anyone know the difference in cruising RPM between the two (say...

I know clutch/tranny issues are hard to diagnose sometimes, but I'd thought I'd see if you guys may have an idea on this one-- I've had my '87 for a few weeks now, and didn't notice anything until recently, when I was waiting in line at toll road booth, and had the window down: when I let the...

My new (to me) '87 LX hatch is in dire need of new shocks/struts. Still has the originals and they're totally shot. I put the KYB kit (2 GR2 struts, 2 GasAdjust shocks and 2 quadshocks) from late model restoration on my '87 notch, and they seemed to be a good choice. Since my car is...

I have the opportunity to pick up a set of GT40P heads. My car is currently bone stock (except for an AOD to T5 trans swap) and runs great as is. Has anyone ever ran GT40Ps with the stock manifold and speed density? I'm wondering if it's worth the $ and/or if the SD can adjust itself ok. I've...

I joined StangNet some time ago, but I can't remember my old user name to save my life. Anyway it's good to be back. I recently sold my pristine '85.5 SVO (17k miles) to free up some funds. I found myself missing having a Mustang in the stable, so I found an extra clean, bone stock '87...
