    12 Second Ford Festiva.. What I've been up to.

    Ok folks, Im sorry about that. Bryan swapped the video's around into a different photobucket folder and I didnt know, so I was using the old links.. All should be fixed now. Dont get me wrong, the 5.0 is still a FAR greater car, this is a little peice of shyte that exists solely because its...

    12 Second Ford Festiva.. What I've been up to.

    LINKS FIXED. I dont post very often but I lurk! I hope this is the right place to post this.. I spend all my lurking time here in the 5.0 section, lol. Yesterday a very long project came to an end. For the last 8-ish months in my off time Ive been building a car for a friend of mine that I saw...

    SVO Value?

    Sup folks, I was just wondering if anyone knows a round-about value for the SVO 'Stangs. I'm kinda debating buying into a Mustang before long and would like to go with an SVO (I have a thing for a boost, I love the engineering aspect behind it all..) but I cant find any for sale really and...

    What I've been up to. Fixin' a 5.0

    We sprayed the stripes first cause I was outvoted, heh. I wanted to mask the stripes then spray the color, then mask the color and spray the stripes, we could have "filled" the valley created with the silver paint and it would have resulted in a cleaner transition. Bryan thinks we can get...

    What I've been up to. Fixin' a 5.0

    Mustang is wrapped up and completed and for sale! Awww yeah. We have to buy a lock for the hatch and the rear window trim but the car is totally done, buffed, shiny and purty secksy. I'm happy with it, though theres several things I intend to do different next time around. All in all, for...

    Eclipse vs Mustang

    91 DSM was the best (strongest) ever built. 4 bolt, mean suckers. I might get flamed for this, we'll see. but R/T, man your 12 second build doesnt sit right with me. Your talking essentially 2 actual power adders, the MAF and the boost controller and those are supposed to drop you from a 15...

    any one have pit bulls for dogs?

    agreed. I have some measure of experience with the dogs and they are aggresive and moody. Not so big a deal with smaller dogs, but ones with the power of a pitbull can be very dangerous. They have a very high pain threshold, they are smart and strong, athletic and born to protect/do damage...

    What I've been up to. Fixin' a 5.0

    Sup HISSIN, Glad to be back around. I've been kind of poking around the forums for months, but I havent had anything useful to post, lol. Been haunting the SHO forums recently though.. Got a 93 now and Ive been trying to work the kinks out.

    What I've been up to. Fixin' a 5.0

    We started school in January. The Mustang is the first car we ever really did. No previous experience to speak of. We did a little S10 (cab only.. had a wooden bed, heh) that was *really* torn up but the guy had us on such a tight budget and we had too many poeple working on it.. I was disgusted...

    What I've been up to. Fixin' a 5.0

    Heres a couple of the latest Mustang pics. Anyway, its washed, buffed and partially assembled. Its real close to done. Body kit still isnt on, but the lights are back in. Trim has to be repainted and detail stuff taken care of, but you can get a good idea what it'll look like from these pics.

    What I've been up to. Fixin' a 5.0

    Thanks for the comments folks. Theres a few little issues in the paint. We should have used fine line tape for the stripes but other than that, its looking good. The trim peices are faded and ugly, but we bought some trim paint to bring back the lustre. Also, its hard to tell from those...

    What I've been up to. Fixin' a 5.0

    My roommate and I bought the car (89 GT 5speed) to fix up and resell and its been a task and a half. I've enjoyed it though and its been a hell of a learning experience. We arent done yet, but we're really close. Still have to wet-sand and buff out the bodykit peices and finish buffing the car...

    Torque converter failing?

    Im sure its taking off in first gear. Thanks for the info. Yeah, if its going, oh well. I think I have a line on a free T/C and I can rebuild the tranny if it comes to that. Which is probably will. I'll just drive it till it flops, then fix what needs fixin.

    Torque converter failing?

    Ok.. my second post of the night. This isnt exactly Mustang related, but this forum is extremely knowledgable and I havent found any F-150 forums that are all that helpful. Let me do my best to explain this. I noticed it tonight while checking on a strange sound I keep hearing in my truck...

    Oil pressure issue round 2, Electrical problem!

    Ok, so folks were right, it doesnt seem to be a pressure issue at all actually. I did some more tinkering and when the pressure spikes the truck does indeed sputter and the CE light pops on every once in a while which is what led me to beleive it was infact a pressure spike.. but it turns out...

    High oil pressure.. Strange flux.

    Allrighty, I'll find a better guage and get a real reading and post back. I know its not just the gauge malfunctioning though, becuse when the pressure spikes so severaly the engine bogs down and once or twice my CE light popped on for a split second (but left no codes in memory.. =/ ). The...

    High oil pressure.. Strange flux.

    Ok.. my engine is a 92 5.0. Ive checked codes and nothing is coming up. Its developed very high oil pressure. Just a hair under the hash mark at the max of the guage for a while now.. Well, this last week its gotten worse. I started the truck the other day and the damn oil pressure pegged the...

    A/C, to delete or not to delete?

    Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated. I think I'll end up removing it in the next few weeks. I dont mind just rolling the windows down in the summer, I prefer it actually. My smog system is already unhooked and I need to bypass the durn air pump anyway. NKau, It is an F-150 but Im...

    A/C, to delete or not to delete?

    If I get rid of the A/C, I'll have to get an a/c delete kit correct? I cant just run a shorter belt..? Now, on the meat of this.. I'd like to hear folks opinions who have deleted it.. Was it worth the time and effort? Any noticeable gains? Would you do it again if you had the chance? I...

    no start, 0 fuel pressure, but gas on plugs

    I had a similar problem in my Z. I changed the cap, rotor and plug wires and just wouldnt start back. I checked the order 100 times, went over everything from front to back. It turned out I had two wires cross lower near the plugs, so what I thought was the correct order wasnt. What I'd do...
