    Running hot or not?

    210 is not excessive, a lot of todays cars run at that temp, but thats to high for max performance. What thermostat are you running, thats the only thing I dont see listed. 180* would be a good choice.

    i think i blew my T-5

    D&D in Wixom michigan, they always have Cobra spec T5s or Z spec T5s for around 1000-1100. Cobra has 3.35 first, Z trans has 2.95 first. Ive seen plenty of "rebuilt" T5s fail because of poorly seated snap rings that come loose and allow gears to walk off their shafts, improperly installed...

    Anyone removed the lock mechanism for the fuel door?

    simply loosen the attaching screw and slide the latch back till it doesnt catch anymore, its all right in the fuel door opening. No need for additional spring, theres already one on the door.

    Leaning out in low rpm's - WHY??

    Check for vacuum leaks. A vacuum leak will cause a lean condition at low rpm, at higher rpm's the leak is a lower percentage of overall air intake, there fore the mixture will be closer to being correct, so the problem seems to go away.

    4 banger tranny to 302??

    Some 4 speed T5s have a 3.97 first gear, vs 3.35 for a V8. 4cyl input shaft is a different diameter than a V8, requiring a special pilot bearing. Because of the different gear ratios in the 4cyl model, to change to V8 gearing requires changing the cluster shaft and out put shaft, not worth the...

    Roll bars in Fox hatches (Pics please)

    roll cage has to have the cross bar to be NHRA legal, but is not required until you go quicker than 11.5. Maximum motorsport has them, they are bolt in and legal, and come with swing outs. The bars mentioned without the cross bar are not legal for nhra or ihra competition.

    The trans your asking about is known as a T5Z, its available thru Ford Racing, has the 2.95 first gear, and a longer 5th(cant remember the exact ratio, but its definitely different) Not too common to find these rebuilt,as they are an aftermarket trans only, never were installed in a production...

    looking for transmission guys

    If there is nothing broken in your trans, you should rebuild it yourself, it is not difficult if you are mechanically inclined. The trans in the ad is nothing but a 1990 T5, he has added no extra strength parts. So you would be buying a stock rebuilt trans. T5s have several ratings.86-87 are...

    Is there anyone on here that actually knows what they are talking about?

    TB and sticky tires or slicks. Youve increased the heads ability to pass more air, but youre not feeding it any more.
