    Craigslist Interaction...am I Right Or Wrong On This?

    I have sold a LOT of CL stuff. Had a 25' boat for free. It was a mess but I just wanted to avoid cutting it up. Had a half dozen people look at it with insane expectations. I finally posted that I would only show the boat if you came with a trailer to tow it away. I will be in this parking lot...

    Brakes Sn95 Parking Brake (no Need To Weld Handle)

    I have the redline ebrake boot. I bet you could modify it to shorten it up some. I like the way they look and feel verse having nothing, and with the leather handle would be even nicer!

    Has Drag Racing Changed?

    It's been probably 6-8 years since I've been down the track, however even when I was bracket racing back then, I had no desire to bring a consistent automatic car, click off the same pass every time, and try and win. I preferred racing for my own timeslips. As a matter of fact, my 12.53 fastest...

    New Here Looking For Some Great Advice!

    I agree on not worrying about making tons of power. An 11 or even 12 second street car is a lot of fun. In a fox body it doesn't take much more than 300 rwhp to get there and it would keep the car fairly reliable and streetable. If I were on a budget build this is what I would lean towards.

    Thinking Of Ditching The Cobra Stuff.

    Clean and simple would look nice. I wouldn't dump the Cobra stuff for GT, personally I like the Cobra stuff better (including the side skirts and gender extensions). Personally I wouldn't change that. I agree with doing some FR500s, however I say do a nice 13" Cobra brake set up, fox axles and...

    Quad Shock Missing

    I have 18x10s with 285/35 tires, rolled fenders, no quad shocks. I had the tires run one time that a I recall. I was in a weird grassy hill at New England dragway and it stuffed one corner and I heard a slight rub for a split second. Never had the rear tires rub. Also never had wheel hop even...

    Stock Shortblock, 350-375 Hp With Hci?

    It sounds like you want 350-375 hp, so in the lower 300s to the tire? Solid aluminum heads, I agree on a custom cam, you could probably stick to your Cobra intake and do some work to it, support it with TB, MAF, 24lbers will probably do it, but 30s definitely will, full exhaust and power wise...

    When Did '93 Cobra Intakes Get This Expensive?

    I have a repro Cobra intake on my car but never spent the money for the Cobra placard. My brother has a real 93 Cobra intake on his. Sitting on a gold mine!

    What Can A Stock T5 Trans Handle?

    Not a daily driver, and usually trailered when we raced! The day the 11 second car lost 3rd and 4th they still drove it home with 1, 2 and 5th 100 miles from the track. That day he trailered his car and I drove mine. I popped an axle on my 3rd launch and needed the trailer. So he lost out and...

    Porting E7 Heads And Intake Or Gt40 Swap?

    Who did the E7s? A good set of E7s with new valve train are on par with a set if unworked GT40s. What is the price on the E7s?

    What Can A Stock T5 Trans Handle?

    Brothers 1986 GT has a stock T5 and has been mid 11s for a few years. Tore up 3rd and 4th one season but before and after it held up well. 5000-6000 launches, 1.5 60s and power shifting as well... mine has held up to mid 12 second passes, 1.6-1.7 60s off the rev limiter, and power shifting...

    Progress Thread 25thmustang's Progress Pics

    Still have the car. Moved to NY so the car is in storage in CT for a while (4-5 years). Only changes have been an SVO leather rear seat (for the kids to ride in it when they get older) and took the dumped spintech mufflers off for an SLP catback. Drove the car a bit last summer, but of course...

    Below Is An Email I Received From An Engine Reman Guy, I Scoff

    I'm derailing, but the initial point to this thread was about 300 hp from a set of worked E7s and a mild cam. I believe it. E7s are no match for any aftermarket head, but can make good power. My lowest was 256/292 to the tires with unported E7s (GT40 valves, valve job and some milling), stock...

    Lx Only Exhaust/tail Pipe Thread

    I have an SLP set up. I like the tips, rolled stainless. I hate that the rolled stainless tip ends halfway down the body line and then you see where it connects to the regular unpolished metal, and the clamp. Tried 3" floater tails like posted above but didn't have the time to fiddle with the...

    Corbeau Rear Seat Upholstery

    I ended up finding a leather rear seat, so I never got the chance to try it out. Sorry! I believe if you google search, some images show up.

    Pictures Of/experience With Dyed Interiors?

    I dyed mine. It looks really good. It does wear and scratch though. The nice thing is when it wears and scratches, a simple recoat and your back in business. I will try and dig up some photos of mine. This past summer I dyed a set of leather rear seats and they look very nice as well. I won't...
