i actually need to get it fixed because my father hs gotten fed up with me and my car. He told me i had to sell it, and i told him i wasnt gonna unless he got me a 99 GT or newer, so there's also buying the car, fuel rail problem and all, haha. Anyways, i sent the thing to a shop, see if...

Yeah, its been awhile, but i used to post in this forum. I was removing some stupid gauge on my fuel rail the other day (owner b4 me put it on), and it snapped, leaving a gaping hole in my fuel rail, as well as my existing distributer problem :bang: . I was thinking about having the hole...

Ive been looking into alot of summer mods for my 2.3T, and since i have such a horrible hood, and practically non-intercooled boost, i want to switch to a front mount intercooler. Ive been looking at the volvo intercooler, but i was wondering about the piping. Do you have to have it routed by...

When i test drove the car, it had significantly more boost than im getting now. I'm not entirely sure why it's gone all the way down to 5. My guess is that i need to adjust my bleeder, or i have a boost leak. Does anyone know how to adjust a bleeder, or have any other ideas? Thanks guys.

you know its probably best to keep that to yourself on a Ford forum. GM is a great company, they make the best roadside ornaments ive ever seen :rlaugh:

I need to replace my spark plugs on my 2.3 turbo mustang ive been posting everywhere about. I was looking at platinum spark plugs, and was wondering if they were worth the extra cost over regular plugs? Thanks guys.

yes i realize i misspelled maintainance, and probably did there too, haha.

I finally got my 2.3T convertable home, like that last thread said, and it was in better shape than i expected. Other than the usualy used car tune up(plugs, fluids, etc) i can find only two real things that bother me. One is the subframe connectors, apparently put on by a college student...

Thanks, but after testing the car in a panic stop from 65, the pedal fluttered, and i believe, without looking at them, that the discs are warped. I'll probably just buy new discs just to be sure.

A little off the origonal topic, but the only thing that the car could really have done to it as far as maintenance is resurfacing the rotors some day. I was wondering if anyone had any idea how much it would cost to have my two discs done (drums in rear)?

honestly, in my experience i haven't seen a whole lot of turbocoupes that were worth alot whole, but ive never looked at one that was good for anything but a a swap. Im pretty sure that you could sell everything that listed, if its leather seats, and in good condition, for a couple hundred or so.

Finally, after a WHOLE lot of negotiations with my father, i got a 2.3T. Its a convertable, with a new "BMW" blue paint job, a Cobra R hood w/ scoops, and pony rims. Ill get my friends camera and post some pics soon :D

I have absolutly no idea the specifics of going about this in Turkey, but you need to find a turbo motor. Putting all the internals into a N/A 2.3 is too costly and time consuming. Find a cheap 87 of 88 thunderbind turbocoupe use the engine, clutch, and rear end. This is probably the most...

honestly, the best years to buy the car for are probably 89 or 90, if your gonna eventually do the swap, 88 horse won't matter that much, and the wiring will be simpler, and for some odd reason, at least here, after 1990, all car prices just plummit, no matter the condition :)

351wcoupe, you have a PM :)

Yeah, damn clean job, alot better than the engine bay of the first guy to call it clean(notched 86) :D

Yeah Good lookin car, looks alot like a SVO I was looking at buying, except for the out of place door :D

your probably going to run into much less problems as far as getting a 2.3T road-ready than just fixing the typically horribly banged on 5.0. Also ur not really going to be much slower, none at all in my experience, than most people's 5.0s out there.

yeah, it might be illegal some places frodifferent reasons, but at least here in VA, its perfectly legal.

hehe.....maybe. You should be flattered that im willing to pay over 1,000 for that hunk of garbage -:D
