I was looking for a project during the offseason, so I decided it was time to get my 1992 GT back out on an autocross course.
It’s a 1-owner, 65k mile car that I’ve had since I was 16. This Mustang means a lot to me. I want to make it a competitive autocross car, but I don’t want to cut up a classic. That means making mods that can be easily undone.
Project ThoroughbRED is all about showing love to a Solid Rear Axle Mustang, making targeted improvements to see what it can do against cars with coil overs, IRS-swaps and massive tires, and helping other people who are looking to autocross their ponies without leaving permanent scars.
Here’s a link to the introduction to my video series…

So far, I’ve posted 4 parts:
Part 1: PAST to PRESENT MODS, covers all the mods I previously made to the car.
Part 2: WEIGHT REDUCTION, details the parts I used to shed 142 lbs.
Part 3: SUSPENSION UPGRADES, shows how I got the weak links out of my suspension.
Part 4: HOW TO ADJUST YOUR AUTOCROSS SUSPENSION, provides a simple method for using adjustable struts & shocks and Steeda’s adjustable rear sway bar to get the most out of the suspension mods I’ve made.
There are also companion videos that share my INITIAL THOUGHTS & INSTALL TIPS for the mods.
I’ll post detailed real-world reviews after I’ve tested these parts on an autocross course.
Thanks for checking out the project. If you have any questions, please ask here or in the comments.
