    goin to look at this mustang monday

    low Man that thing sits low! :eek: Hope your driveway isn't on an incline... As far as price, I'd say hes a bit high. It's hard to tell from just one crappy pic though. Be sure to bring a flashlight with you and check the floorboard area for rust. If everything checks out, I'd say...

    my 87 GT's new Lowering Springs pics! :)

    Looks nice Looks great, I'd say thats about the perfect stance for a daily driver. :nice: I hate to say this but those shocks and struts are total crap. When I bought this car I got a stack of receipts from the previous owner. He had replaced the shocks and struts with KYBs about 5...

    Hatch Problem??

    easy I think pretty much every Mustang on this message board has had those hatch struts replaced at some point. Yes the hatch is VERY heavy. When I bought both my 87 and 88 Mustangs they were shot and new hatch struts were my first mod. They were around $40 for the pair on Ebay I think...

    Just a great solid car.Mustang Chef

    hmm Sounds like its been a good car for you. But 4 guys in a 94 Cobra? I had to ride in the back of a 94 Cobra vert once for about 10 miles and that was enough for me. Were these guys migets? There is zero room back there. :shrug:

    Tips to keep car runnin cooler in summer time?

    Not sure I have no idea why a colder tstat would work so well for some people and not others. :shrug: My car with a 180 would never get up to operating temp. Maybe because my aluminum radiator is so awesome? It would smell like it was running rich all the time, hesitation / bucking and...

    Tips to keep car runnin cooler in summer time?

    tstat I would stick with the stock temp tstat. After spending hours and hours trying to figure out why my car was running like crap, I took it to a local shop and they took out the 180 mr Gasket tstat I had, put in a 195 Motorcraft and the car is running 100% better. I'd make sure your...

    Which mark on the timing pointer is the one to use?

    hmm OK, thanks... That's what I thought. It runs like crap when I time it at the point on the right though, backfires out the tailpipe, seems to run much better when I set timing in the center area.. :shrug:

    Which mark on the timing pointer is the one to use?

    The circle on the left? One of the edges in the middle? The far right edge?

    $2500 budget rebuild or replace?

    With school / working fulltime / taking care of our 1 year old kid I just don't have the time to be out in the garage as much as I would like to so I am not going to mess with this engine anymore. All I am really want is something reliable around the same power as stock is fine. For my...

    Spout connector question... If that's what you call it???

    spout The "spout" allows the computer to make adjustments to the cars timing. Without the "spout" you are locked into whatever your base timing is set to. Your car will likely be significantly down on power without the spout in and may have drivability problems under load and at wide open...

    Hesitating/Surging and Popping under Load

    same I have the exact same issue that you are describing. :shrug: If I stab the gas at anything under like 3000 rpms the car bucks misses and sumbles for about a second, backfires through the intake and then takes off like normal. The car misses at idle too and the whole engine shakes...

    Back from Body Shop FTMFW!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Very nice Love it! I wouldn't own a fox unless it's a LX hatchback so I'm a big fan of your car. They just look mean and clean to me. Ground effects, cheese graters and turn downs just don't look right to me (not hatin on the GT guys, just my 2 cents). Great job. That hood rocks!

    Stock 03 Cobra blower on 5.0

    hmm That would be an insane amount of time/money/work to get that functional. Nobody has ever done it for those exact reasons. Not worth it.

    car won't start when hot... help please???

    TFI Sounds like a bad TFI as was said. It's the small grey box on the front of your distributor. You will need a special wrench to replace it. The wrench is like $5, not sure how much the TFI runs...
