Hi, I am new to the forum. I own a 2003 GT with some mods. K&N Cold Air Intake Kit, Flowmaster 40 series mufflers, Superchip tuned, C&L Intake Plenum, Accufab 75mm Throttle Body. Billet aluminum switches on the doors and wood grain (Dark Red) interior trim. Rest is stock power and leather seats.
Funny how I enjoy my Flowmasters more than my leather seats! :)

hi, my name is brad. well i guess ill start out by telling you what cars ive have/had. first car was a 98 taurus, sucked. second car was a 00 celica, slow as s**t. third car was an acura integra ls that i turbocharged and other stuff, it ended up with 240 whp vs the stock 110 whp. and after all that money spent on that honda i came to the realization that i hate hondas, and i hate front wheel drive. any car that you have to put $10k into to run low to mid 13's is dumb. so i just recently sold that to get my dream car, a 2003 svt cobra. ive wanted one ever since i saw the article about it in road & track a couple years ago. so for right now im sporting an 89 volvo 240 to get to school/work.
i go to school at universal technical institute, studying to be a tech for either porsche (doubt it), audi, volkswagen, or mercedes. well i guess thats it, thanks.

Hello! New to this board. I've posted in a couple places here, but this thread seems to be 'the' place to introduce myself.
I have a black 85 GT h/b that I plan to bring back w/ quality resto/ mods. It's fast enough, for now. (0-60 in 5.5 sec.) After I get the 'little things' taken care of, I plan some chassis & suspension mods, then add some power.
I'm fortunate to live only about 20 minutes from New England Dragway. I started going to Street Nights last summer, and plan to go regularly. So, if you're headed there, watch for MyLNor, but don't blink!

Hello: Hope I am doing this right...
I am an avid car enthusiast. I always liked Mustangs, but recent pressure from my 15 year old son (and my wife) makes the possibility of purchasing a 68 or 69 a possibility. I hope this site can help me find and enjoy one.
I happen to be looking for a 69 (maybe 68). My wife will be driving, so I consider A/T, PS, PB and A/C to be mandatory. A conv. would be nice too.
I'd also be interested in knowing if A/C is something that can be retro fitted easily if I find an otherwise qualified car.

welcome to the forum, not sure about the reto a/c post that question under the classics section and i am sure you will get your answer. i don't think it would be all that hard though
Whats up guys. I am a newbie with a 98 mustang gt and an 86 mustang gt that i just finished putting in a motor that I pulled out of another mustang that I previously owned. Have a few mods, mostly bolt-ons right now.
Hello all - I've finally got her. A 1965 ragtop with less than 40,000 original mi. Been dry rotting in my mom's garage for almost 20 years, for sentimental reasons she wouldn't let it go - but she's moving and decided it is time. Body is in good shape and was running great when last driven.
I think its a great candidate for a complete restoration to show, and that's what I plan on doing, but probably won't get too involved right away as we are looking to build a new house in the near future. I will be checking in for advice often as this will be my first restoration and I want to do it right (the first time).
Looking forward to the project and meeting you folks on the forum.

just like you did it here. we have different sections for different thing just look around and check it out and if you still have questions then i will help further. thanks
Hi everyone. I'm just a new-by. Been watching this forum for some time now, and looks like there are alot of fast cars here. well, this is what i got, 02 gt short throw (steeda) underdrive pulleys(steeda) minature shift light (with pill kit, hidden in dash area) k&n airintake (fipk) flowmaster system (catback) superchip (not installed yet< just got 4/16)
My last run was 1/4 mile track at 14.1 flat. I really need to get into the 13's, so i am thinking about a new gear. how about a set of 3:73. Does anyone have some opinions? I don't know what i will run with the superchip program. I will find out next month when i got to the track again.

hey whats up 02gt? some slicks would get you into the 13's. the gears and slicks would deffantly get you in there. 14.1 is not bad. i believe you could tune on what you have and get there the high 13's. try different air pressures and differnet launch rpm's and keep a log of it and the just go with the best overall performance. the slicks and gears are different so be ready. with the addition of slick i would beef up the suspension to go along with them.

well 2000 i would just start with the x-pipe and mufflers and then worry about the headers later if it is the sound you want. the x-pipe and just asy flowmasters will get you that bad ass sound.
I am a 47 year old male. I was a mechanic most of my life, but now my brother and I have a hobby shop together. I was raised around fast cars. My father always had over powered autos, but they were all Mopars. Dad was one of the founding members of the Ramchargers when he was an engineer at Chrysler in the early 60's. I just restored and modified a '69 F100 I bought used back in 1978. I swaped it from a 240 6cyl to a 289 originally. The rail guided rockers knocked a keeper off and the engine swallowed a valve. I decided to build a 302 that would turn 8,000rpm and never twist it over 6,500. It has an old Edlebrock F4b intake and 750 Holley with a #31 squirt, #68 jets and a #45 Power valve. The heads are 58cc with major exhaust porting and 1,94/1.50 valves. With Flat top pistons the compression is about 10.8:1. The cam is a .485 lift with a 288 duration. That was the closest I could find to the 271hp/289 cam. It has heavy springs with guide plates, moly pushrods and early non rail guided rockers. Crank is stock with Milodon rod bolts in the factory rods. Clearance is a little loose but with the Melling oil pump it idles at 25psi and reaches 110psi at 6,500. I have the factory 3spd and a 3:50 to 1 in the 9" rear. I am about to install a wide ratio T-10 and a 4:10 posi unit in it. Then I will start on my project that brought me here. A 1967 Mustang coupe. It was a 289 auto originally, but the owner had swapped for a 351W. It has a solid body but needs about every thing else done over so it looks like another 5 year project. Not sure yet what I am going to do with it. I want a powerful car that is not unpleasant to drive and that my wife will enjoy too. I guess the 408 stroker kit and some Edlebrock RPM heads might be a start. Anyway, it's good to be able to get help from people that know Mustangs. I used to race against them when I had a 66 Olds 442, but I never owned one until a month ago.

Nice!! Sold my 64.5 about a year ago. Still miss it. Didn't have the time to play on it like I would have liked. Hope you fair better. Have fun and welcome to the forums.
