    Rear window failure

    Yeah, always a good idea, never know when something's about to poo the bed either. Also forgot when you get the motors off you have to take off the mounting plates and transfer them over... it's pretty self evident though.

    Rear window failure

    Technically that's more than you need if all you need is the motors. Looks like it includes the window guide hardware too. I replaced both my rears and passenger door in my '89 LX vert. The process is dead simple, just pull out the back seat cushion, pop off the interior panels and it's right...

    Specific Cam Questions that Google can't seem to answer...

    Doesn't bother me, those builds are pretty sweet, but I don't actually care to get 300 hp out of this engine... yeah I've been around a while and watched almost every person that ever buys a 2.3 NA eventually ask... Hey, I don't want a turbo but how hard would it be to get 200 hp (insert too...

    Specific Cam Questions that Google can't seem to answer...

    Perhaps I made this harder than it had to be. lol :O_o: But assuming the above doesn't have a perfect quick answer, I emailed Big R and their response indicates that the cam is a drop in part just requiring roller rockers and the obvious springs and lifters and the ECU will be just fine... I...

    Specific Cam Questions that Google can't seem to answer...

    Not trying to rehash any of the cam debates I've looked through on here or on other Mustang sites, and a lot of that information is now getting on 1-2 decades old so a lot of the information is outdated... specifically on parts availability. I tried to make this short and to the point but I...

    The Next Warhorse: 1993 Mustang LX Autocross Build

    Yeah I don't need to worry about MAF with my '89 so it was a lot more simple. But I am absolutely convinced that a better performing and lighter intake can be put in place.

    The Next Warhorse: 1993 Mustang LX Autocross Build

    This is what my engine bay looked like before my most recent cleaning up: The EGR I just bent over out of the way in the pic as you can see, but it is now gone, along with the related vacuum hoses... it turns out that is the primary congestion on the passenger side. As you can see I also...

    The Next Warhorse: 1993 Mustang LX Autocross Build

    Haha, I will keep my cruise as well, but I appreciate the dedication. I recently pulled the defunct EGR system and all the vacuum tubes... It runs fine and it's been capped off of the manifold for months but I finally went and traced everything and removed it all from the engine bay...

    My Stupid Rearview Mirror (with solution)

    Nine days in, it's still holding fast. :) We've seen temperatures between 35 and 80 degrees in that time. lol

    My Stupid Rearview Mirror (with solution)

    That's not a bad idea either, the thought hadn't occurred to me to get professional help. I used permatex last time and had had luck with that many moons ago on another car. This will give me the ability to restick it in 5 minutes now... I kinda lost faith in the adhesive.

    My Stupid Rearview Mirror (with solution)

    Yeah that’s ok, I only do this for me. :) And if anyone wants to be cool like me that’s how you do it. :p

    My Stupid Rearview Mirror (with solution)

    So a moment of backstory here before I tell of my momentary glimpse of genius... when I bought my '89 vert, the mirror had fallen off at some point for the previous owner and as is the habit of some owners in these pony cars, Firebird and Camaro owners being no exception, when that thing falls...

    Suspension SetUp

    Thanks, no it's a mid-grade three piece set I bought from summit, and upgraded with LEDs because these cars need all the help they can get after the sun goes down. The paint has a bit of wear and tear, but pretty much clean underneath which is a bit of an accomplishment after 20 years in NY...

    Suspension SetUp

    I have given up on using forum hosting after being on a dozen different sites... I just throw stuff into an Imgur account and post the provided "BB Code" links. Like so:

    Suspension SetUp

    Rack is still stock, I put some 8mm spacers behind the front wheels for a while which cleared up the rubbing, but I did not like that solution and for now I am just avoiding full lock turns until I upgrade wheels or more likely just buy some limiters to stuff in there. It is just a problem with...

    Suspension SetUp

    FWIW I threw on the Eibach 36mm Front /25mm Rear swaybars on my mostly stock 4-banger and I really like how it feels in the corners. It feels pretty balanced... much better than stock with the 15/16 front and no rear bar. I've always liked the feel of fairly docile springs and big swaybars, but...

    air inlet,2.3 l

    Depending on what year you can do pretty much anything you want as long as you don't get rid of any sensors. I took all of that stuff out and this is all I've got: Doesn't seem to suffer from any power loss when warmed up.

    After 20+ years sitting outside, restoration has started with fuel

    Heh my car sat with 1/8 tank outside, under the eve of a barn (that is, with rain pouring off of it onto the middle of the car) for 3 years before I bought it and the tank inside was spotless when I got to it. This tank looks like it's been to hell and back. Dang!

    Fox 32 Valve Heads For Sbf

    Might as well just go pull a 4.6 out of a Lincoln MK VIII, if 4 camshafts is your main goal.

    Those seats are incredible, I don't think you could top that in any way. :cool:
