Yeah, didn't tell the wife, but I have already been looking into engine mods. This car has a pretty big aftermarket, :nice:

Well, the time came, I had to get rid of the stang. I have a baby on the way so I needed something a little more dependable, automatic so the wife can drive, and generally a car that doesn't "need" any work or mods. So I sold the stang on Wednesday, and bought a 95 T-bird on Saturday. It's a...

No offense, but it sounds like your in high school? Maybe 18 or so? Being almost 30 now, I have been there. I can say you will be lucky if you ONLY get hurt once in your life. Like other said, time will heal it. I know right now, she is your world and it hurts, but even if things were not...

Yeah it is. Just up near the flange where it bolts to the manifold it's like less than a 1/8 of an inch smaller, I was getting this annoying air lead sound. Anyway, a little extra with the MIG welder and all is good. :nice:

Anyone know the stock exhaust diameter on the NA 2.3? I removed the precat and and used 2" pipe, but it's a bit too large. I'm thinking its 1 3/4 or something close to that but don't have a tape measure handy and am going to get more pipe when I leave work today. Thanks

Hey, where did you find those at? I live just outside Raleigh and have been trying to find a donor.

Ok, I have a big problem here. For the past couple of months my heater/turn signals have been acting up. What happens is that once my car is running neither the heater nor the turn signals will work until I hit the dash with my hand. Most of the time one light hit will make them both come on...

Thanks, guess that means I'll wait till Saturday, I don't feel like crawling under the car tonight. :rolleyes:

Ok, so I am sitting in my office at work and thinking about stuff I need for a good tune up and realized I don't know where my fuel filter is. I could wait till I get home and look or check my chiltons but I just thought I would ask here. I just want to know if it will be an easy under the...

Ahhh...if only it was that easy. Seriously though, even if my wife didn't mind a donor car sitting at the house I just don't have any place to keep it. Can't park on the street and no driveway space. So the only option is to take whatever I can un-bolt and throw in my ride.

Ok, so I found an 85 TC sitting in a yard near me. The owner told me to take what I want. My question is this. I only have my car and no way to pull the entire engine. I don't know many people around here and the ones I do know don't have a wench truck or anything. My wife would kill me if...

Well, I started stripping all the plastic and vinyl parts out and prepping them for paint. I already painted the center console armrest and am happy with how it turned out so far, considering how bad it was before I am very impressed. Anyway, I have blue seats and carpet, I pull my rear seat...

Well, I was getting some things at Autozone and saw some DupliColor Fabric and Vinyl paint. I couldn't help myself so I bought a can. Has anyone tried this out? I have blue interior and a black car, I wanted to make the interior black and gray. Does anyone know how this stuff holds up after...

So...just curious but what happens if you run the turbo on the NA motor without changing the computer or injectors? I'm not doing it, just wondering.

Thanks, I'll look tonight when I go home.

Umm, no but I live about 10 minutes away from it. Does that help any? :rolleyes:

Yeah, I guess I need to just stop there and ask to take a look. I wanted to know if this year model even had turbo option, it looks like thats possible. Is there any way to tell from just looking at the outside? I know it doesn't have the holes in the hood for IC. Any options package or...

Hmm, I have to check out the headlights, I haven't really paid much attention to them. It is surrounded by about 3 feet of grass from the front fenders back so I really notice that chrome grill. Oh and that ugly faded banana yellow paint job. So are the headlights a way to distinguish turbo...

Like the title says, what years did Ford make this car? I ask because I drive by a house everyday on my way to and from work and see a T-bird sitting in the yard. It is 86 or older because it has the chrome grill. If this is a TC will it be a good swap car? I mean does it have the 8.8 rear...

Here's my other money pit. 1980 Jeep CJ5. Umm, it's also for sale, hint hint.
