    Brakes Brake line kit fitment

    Any V8 swap guys know if the brake lines/kits for a 5.0L fit a 2.3L? I've done some searching but can't find much. Also can't find many places that sell brake lines for a 2.3. I know they were routed differently on a 5.0 to accommodate dual exhaust but I'm not sure if there are any other...

    2.3 Suspension Setup

    Hey everybody, I've done a bunch of searching but I'm troubled in deciding what to replace the struts and shocks on my '93 LX 2.3L with. There are so many options and price points, but the fact that I'm carrying much less weight over my front end than the average Fox owner complicates things...

    Car Cover Recommendations?

    Or is there any particular brand I should stay away from? It's for my '93 LX which will be stored inside, away from sunlight. It may see time outside in the future so is there a good all-around cover or would my money be better spent buying 2 different covers? And I'm not a newb but I couldn't...

    Bought Another 2.3l

    Been searching for a new DD for longer than I care to remember. Everything finally came together. '08 Fusion S Redfire Metallic/Camel 2.3L, 5-speed manual 38K The Mustang will sit in my parents garage and get driven sparingly in good weather until I'm ready to drop more money into it than it...

    No-start Issue On '93

    Long read - see end for cliffs. When I turn the key to start the car, it clicks once and the dash lights up. Then the lights go off and the car does nothing. The starter doesn't turn/engage/spin at all. It will do this a few times and then will do absolutely nothing except the gauges jump...

    Happy 20th birthday

    My car rolled of the line sometime in the month of January 1993 (I forget the date and am too lazy to look it up right now). I cleaned her up this weekend the best I could (it has a number of rust spots) and took some photos. I painted the 10-holes (winter wheels) black last Spring and had the...

    Fuel Fuel Pump Relay Or Ircm?

    Aside from the Integrated Relay Control Module (located on the passenger side front strut tower), is there a separate relay for the fuel pump in my '93 2.3L 5-speed? I've found relays for around $20 on a bunch of websites but have also read I'll need to replace the entire IRCM, which is around $140.

    A/c Compressor, Factory Or Dealer Installed?

    I'm looking to replace my a/c compressor. Looking at prices online, certain compressors note whether it is a replacement for a factory installed compressor or a dealer installed compressor. How can I tell the manner in which mine was installed?

    100K

    Not on here often lately but thought I'd say hello! The '93 just passed 100,000 miles and we are starting over! Sorry for the bad picture but it was around 1AM on my way home from work doing ~60 on the interstate. Anyways, I'm looking into getting a newer car so I can put the LX in the...

    Pioneer head unit in Mach 1000

    My buddy has a '99 GT with the Mach 1000 stereo system but he installed a Pioneer head unit and now it makes a crackling noise through the speakers when he starts the car. Is it the amp? A bad connection? Would connecting the speakers directly to the head unit (bypassing the amp) work? We...

    Question about a PA ticket ... (not about a my Mustang though)

    Cliff notes at the end! My buddy has an '02 YELLOW Lancer OZ with an intake, exhaust, chrome 17s, and tinted windows - IT DRAWS ATTENTION TO ITSELF! He got pulled over tonight for tinted windows but the cop said he can waive the ticket if my buddy comes to the station and shows the tint is...

    Found a Garrett A/R .53 in a trash can

    Pics ... We believe it's from a Saab that used to be in the driveway down the street. But anyways, how exactly do I determine if it's got shaft play? I'm sure it's shot being that it was in a trash can but still. If it's worth rebuilding I might try and do so.

    2000 GT with Mach system

    My buddy just got one: Is it a 460 or 1000? What size are the speakers? Is it easy or necessary to upgrade (he has some Alpines from his last car, a Tiburon)? I searched this forum but most was about upgrading and such, not much about specifications. Thank you!

    Going to the junkyard ...

    to look for a 2.3T engine, FINALLY! I'll be taking the obvious tools - socket wrenches and adjustables, screwdrivers, some WD-40(!), but is there anything else I should take??? And are there any obvious signs of a shot engine (I don't want to get one, tear it down to find out the block is...

    KYB GR-2s

    I can get a good deal on them off E-Bay, anyone suggest/recommend (or not) them? Also, I know some of you have Ford Racing C-springs so could those of you with them post before and after pictures with them on. I figure I'll put them in while I'm addressing that area. Then maybe I'll start...

    Repainted wipers/cowl vent

    In retrospect, I should have taken before pictures. Nonetheless I'm sure you could all look at your car and see the black paint faded down to the steel and that's basically what mine looked like. Anyways, I just stripped them down to the bare metal with a metal wire grinder machine in the...
