    Take It To The Track!

    2nd time at the track. Still working on everything, but we are making progress. Pretty much stock 2010 GT Premium with 3.73's, Roush off-road exhaust and CAI, bama 93 tune and FRPP rear LCA's. Ran 13.6 at 105.2. As you can tell I need some tires bad.

    Has anyone considered renting their car???

    I asked this over the the off topic section to check it out and the response was mixed. The reaseon I ask, is that I am getting married in September, and since I am currently unemployed, all upgrades to my stang are on hold. I talked to my fiancee again and she would love to ride in an...

    So I went to the Track

    Well, last Friday they had the "street race" at tlocal 1/8th mile track. I have never been to a track and thought it would be kinda fun. So I rolled out the vert and went over there. It was 5 bucks to race so I hopped in line. The embarrasment began. Obviously I'm nervous as hell, as I...

    CLutch cable

    Apparently my BBK adj. clutch cable no longer wants to function. I read that most aftermarkets are junk and I should stick with the OEM cable from Ford. The question is, can I keep the BBK quadrant still instead of having to track down a stock plastic self adjuster? Also, where is teh...

    whats this worth?

    I just saw a guy with a 92 calypso green LX vert with 54,000 original miles on it. Everything was stock and the car was from florida and has never seen snow. It was immaculate. White leather interior, white top in amazing shape. What would you pay for it?

    Power steering lines

    Does anybody know what size fittings are needed for the line that runs from the middle of the rack to the tree with all 4 lines? It's on an 87 5.0. I had one line blow out (rusted) and I can't buy that line by itself so I get to fab a new one. Anyone have a manual or a link to one? I...

    Saying goodbye

    Well folks, I went ahead and threw the stang on ebay. I am moving on to a new stang. I don't know what I plan to get yet but I have some time to think. At least the fiance is encouraging me to get another one:eek: If you know anyone that is looking for a vert, take a look! Its already up...

    Get rid of it? or maybe not...

    Well, after 5 years of the stang in my garage, I think it is time to let it go and start over. I thought about getting an older model, 60's or so, but I think I would rather have another fox. I guess right now with the cost of planning a wedding and all that stuff, I have to get rid of some of...

    Power Steering to Manual

    I just finished the T-5 swap. Yes, it did take me forever. When I got it started again and drove it around the block, I came back and a huge puddle was under the car. It appears the rack esploded and leaked everything out. I would rather not dump another 400 bucks in there right now so I...

    Clutch Cable/Speedo routing...again!

    OK, I finally got the T-5 installed and I am finishing up all the wiring and details. I found a grommet in the firewall where the speedo cable ran through by the master cylinder. Now, I'm not real sure but I was hoping this is where the clutch cable is supposed to go so I ran it through this...

    alarm system removal

    I was installing the new pedals for the 5 speed swap last night, and I came upon a bunch of wiring that I swear a team of monkeys threw in there. I found an old code alarm box along with a few motorcraft boxes and random lights, capacitors, switches and so on. Now, I figure the stuff that...

    Damn AOD! $@$%!!!

    Well, I just swapped out my brokedown AOD for another one until I get the ballz to tackle the 5-speed conv. The problem is that after I installed it, and adjusted the TV cable, I hope, I am slipping like no other in everything above first. In fact, I don't even think I hit all the gears. The...

    alternator controversy!

    I just swapped out the belts after removing the smog pump and A/C paperweights from the car. I tried to re-route the smaller belt using a routing that I thought would work. The problem is that now the alternator doesn't charge. WTF! Can these run in either direction and still charge, or are...
