    Anyone have these: HID

    http://www.stangmods.com/Mustang-8000K-HID-Kit-p/00068.htm The lights on both my foxes are pitiful and I was looking at my options. When I get in my SVT Focus (or any modern car) the lighting is great, but when I drive my '87 or '91 mustangs I feel like the lights aren't even on. Has anyone...

    Help with my car's history (OASIS??)

    Can anyone help me with finding out my car's history and true mileage? I purchased an '87 T-Top GT last month. CARFAX was no help to me because the car was a one owner car and there were absolutely no records on Carfax; just the original titling of the car in 1987. My odometer says 85k miles...

    Shelby GTH

    Flying into Tampa next month and couldn't resist the urge to rent a Shelby GTH. It's $100 a day for the rental so I'll only have it for 24 hours (then I'll rent a Focus or whatever Hertz offers). I just couldn't justify $500 to the wife for the whole trip....she just doesn't get it. I'm like...

    Autometer Sport-Comp lighting

    Anyone have any experience with Auotmeter Sport-Comp gauges at night? They have "around the dial lighting" as opposed to some of the more expensive gauges (cobolt, lunar, C2) that have "through the dial lighting". I had the Lunar gauges in my 2001 GT and visibility was not a problem at night...

    Are quad shocks really needed??

    I have an 8.8 rear axle from an '88 TurboCoupe that I plan on putting in my '92 Notch. I really don't want to re-drill the mounting holes for the quad shocks, though. Are quad shocks really necessary if I use some decent aftermarket upper and lower control arms?? I figure anything (even the...

    painted autometer gauge bezel

    I'll be adding some gauges to an autometer gauge bezel (the one that surrounds the instrument cluster and has two gauges in it). It comes in black, but I have the medium graphite color in my 2001 GT's interior. Has anyone painted this bezel with the interior paints from Late Model Resotration...

    Tall intake under oem hood?

    Will the taller intake fit under the stock hood of my '92 Mustang? I want to use the valve cover that doesn't have the "dip" in it on my '88 TC motor when i put it in the stang so i'll need the taller intake. Thanks, WES

    Turbo Upgrade

    Ok, I'm just fantasizing here, so bear with me. I have a complete 2.3T motor and IHI Turbo from an 88 TurboCoupe on an engine stand in the garage. I am probably going to rebuild it to "slightly better" than stock specs before putting it in the Mustang. So here's my question: What would a...

    TurboFord.org declined me

    After reading TurboFord for a few months I decided to finally register so I could respond to the post. I registered and then got an email saying my registration application was denied. Why would I be denied?? I emailed them so I guess I'll wait to see what they have to say. WES

    Power Seat Removal

    How do you take the power seats out of a TurboCoupe if there is no way to get power to the motors to slide the seats forward and back to get to the mounting bolts? I should have pulled the seats before pulling the engine and hacking up the wiring harnesses. Any ideas?? Thery're pretty nice...

    proper tool for Power Steering Pulley

    What's the proper tool for pulling the power steering pulley? While pulling the engine out of the TurboCoupe last weekend I used a three-jaw puller to remove the power steering pulley and it bent the hell out of the pulley. I didn't really care at the time because I knew i wouldn;t need it...

    recipe for 300 rwhp

    As some of you may have read, I'm starting my swap this weekend and will be keeping everything pretty much stock for now just to get the swap done and get rid of the donor TurboCoupe. However, I will probably be looking to rebuild after the summer and do the A4LD to T-5 swap. So here's my...

    Engine Lift Brackets

    Hi everyone, Next weekend is when I'm going to pull the 2.3T and A4LD out of the TurboCoupe. My mustang 2.3L has a lift bracket on the front of the engine on the driver's side and one on the rear of the engine on the passenger side. However, the TC only has the lift bracket in the front...

    swapping soon... any advice?

    Greetings from NJ, I'll be starting the engine/trans swap in a few weeks. The A4LD in my '92 Notch is shot and I intend to swap a T-5 in eventually, but for now I'm just going to swap in the 2.3T and A4LD from the TurboCoupe (taking them out as one piece) just to get rid of the TC and get...

    2.3 vs 5.0 pedal assembly

    Are the 5 speed pedal assemblies from the 2.3 cars interchangeable with the ones from the 5.0 cars?? I'm gathering parts for my eventual A4LD to T-5 swap and have come across a lot of pedals from 5.0s, but not many from a 4 cyl. Does it matter? I've heard yes and I've heard no; which is it...

    guage bezel

    Has anyone used this guage bezel or one similar?? http://www.cp-e.com/products.php?a=page&value=guage_bezel I'm curious how the visibility is. I think it would look pretty good with guages under the radio, but I'm worried about not being able to accurately see the guages due to the angle...
