    Wheels-Tires 17x9 03 cobra rims on fox

    I just flattened the dust caps slightly with a body hammer for clearance and have had no issues. Just don't go crazy with it to the point that the spindle is rubbing the cap.

    Would A T5 Hold Up Behind A '70 Boss 302?

    a t-5 should be fine, so long as your not expecting to do any launches on slicks or anything of the sort.

    Wot On Freeway Then... Boom! Omfg!

    i had this exact same issue with my car when the tfi/pip went bad, car would completely lose spark dumping raw fuel into the exhaust and backfire something fearce. then would not start untill car was cool. Was still able to get the car restarted and limp the car home by pulling the spout...

    it sounds like you have a digital watch hiding someplace in your car. :nice:

    Knocking/vibration through shifter (lots of details)

    i have seen the pinion in the rear end come loose due to the crush sleeve on the pinion not being crushed enough to keep the bearings loaded. It caused some pretty bad vibrations and the only reason we found it was we put it on jackstands and let it idle in first and noticed the whole driveshaft...

    built vs bought....

    since its raining and i have nothing better to do hopefully this will help: the answer is still yes. i think your missing the point, i don't want to build a bought car since we are comparing the two. i don't want a gt premium because i am going to change out the entire interior, why would i...

    built vs bought....

    i guess i am just trying to understand your standpoint, to me that car is like buying someone elses custom car. granted it is a cookie cutter that they produced quite a few of the same exact thing. If i had one i would not be happy with it and i would end up doing stuff to it anyways. if your...

    Might sell the '86 for an '04 Cobra

    i couldn't make that choice because i would be stepping into a slower car with worse handling that is more expensive to maintain much harder to work on and less fun to drive.

    built vs bought....

    well there are some issues with that as well. i had an 06 GT that suffered from the windshield water leak issue. There was a TSB covering it, however after the car almost killed me driving at night and randomly turning the lights off for me and rolling the windows down (thanks car) i took it in...

    built vs bought....

    ok so i was wrong on the price Roush Stage 3= low 59k high 61 GT= 29k-36k not even including the tax difference i'll pick the lower of both in cost so 29k and 59k. engine: http://www.steeda.com/store/2011-up-mustang-magnuson-tvs-2300-supercharger.html $5995 suspension...

    its already been done.

    built vs bought....

    no i am under the impression that you could build something talor suited to your needs for less, heck you could even use exact same parts they used if you wanted and it would be identical to that car with all the same stats

    built vs bought....

    if you want a car that goes fast that you are not going to have to turn wrenches on for whatever reason your going to pay for it. look at the price difference between the GT and roush for example. what is it?.. roughly 15k more (probably more). you don't think you can make a GT out perform a...

    built vs bought....

    most people who can work on cars know that spending 10k extra for 4k in "add on go fast parts" is dumb

    built vs bought....

    i was refering more to the idea of getting someone elses project they have put that into. i really wanted a 10 mustang, and i bought a grabber blue one, and i take very good care of it, but if it gets totalled.. oh well. if my cobra was totaled that would suck.

    built vs bought....

    At the end of the day i when you step back and look at something you have created/modified/improved it can't really be compared. If i got something that is already built or a new vehicle i would never have the same connection and could never care for the vehicle on the same level. It would not...

    K- member and engine install trouble

    The issue is amplified if you install it on an older fox with the smaller wheel openings, i found that out on my 80 cobra. It moved the wheels forward almost against the front fender

    what kinda power can a t 5 hold

    after blowing 2 wc t-5s one 2nd gear one 3rd and a g-force i went with a tko 600 and have had zero issues since. the g force blew 3rd and i was already in gear rolling and just mashed it at 3k. i was probably making around 400hp at the time according to the butt dyno.
