    BEFORE you butcher a 4 eye... (56k beware)

    This is an invalid perception the 4I peeps often run up against. Unfortunately, removing a 4I car from circulation helps to doom the rest of the group to obscurity. As a group in the shadow of the 87-93 Foxes we get ignored quite a lot. We don't get nearly as many aftermarket or...

    85 Merc Capri McClaren RS turbo.Anyone know anything about these?

    Sorry to dredge this up, but it may be interesting to get some more details of this car. ascMcLaren used 84-86 Mercury Capris for their conversion platform. There would be no 4 cyl Turbos for 85-86 since Ford never made any Capris with that engine in 85-86. For 1984, Ford had a 4cylTurbo...

    86 GT front changed to a 87-up LX?

    Its a "big deal" because the four eyed cars have been and still are disappearing rapidly to these swaps. It saddens the 79-86 Mustang enthusiasts greatly when they see this happen. Especially 85-86 cars. In 85-86 horsepower finally started coming back to the breed and you had that rough...

    Engine with no oil?

    Well if you're going to drain the oil, you need to put some water in there so the low oil light won't come on. If she's got half a brain, she will see the low oil light and stop the car before any damage results. -Mike

    HELP!!!!!Car Trouble

    When my 7.5 rear ate itself alive, I thought the tranny was going to explode. Grinding noises in the center of the car and the whole shifter was shaking like the tranny was going to drop on the pavement. Replaced the shredded ring and pinion in the rear and it was back to normal. -Mike

    Chrome Wheels in Winter

    Just go to the junk yard and get some plain steel wheels. They are so prevelant they should let you have them for next to nothing. I'm talking about the LX type skinny steel wheels, not the wide GT ones. All you then need to do is toss some good winter tires on them and the tires shouldn't...
