    Go Big or Go Home - 4.88s

    After having great success with 4.56s in my '99 Cobra, I stepped it up and went 4.88 this time around in my 3650-equipped Mach 1. Obviously a better tire is needed out back (NOT all-seasons), but the car likes it. I did notice 2nd gear coming at you pretty quick WOT on the launch, but it's...

    Purchased One of My Favorite Fords

    I've owned quite a few shitty SHOs over the years. I finally got my hands on a clean 1989 example to tuck away.

    My Barn Find

    Is it still considered a barn find if I'm the one who put the car there? :D My first car was a 1978 Mercury Bobcat Runabout I bought from an old lady after her husband passed with 41,000 miles for $825 dollars in 1998. By 2001 I was on the 2nd transmission, 2nd rearend, and I overheated the...

    Turbo Festiva vs E46 M3

    It obviously didn't turn out well on my end, but it was still a pretty funny race. That M3 pulls extremely hard up top. Mods are just exhaust/intake. The Festiva has a 1.6L turbo out of an early 90s Mercury Capri XR2. Boosting 16psi and also just has exhaust/intake. G-Teched 13.7 @105 on...

    Lightning Jump Seat

    Has anyone seen a 94/95 Lightning jump/buddy seat for sale anywhere? My father's mid-94 production Lightning is console equipped, and I'd really like to get him one for Christmas. I'm kinda having a hard time locating one. Any info would help. Thanks. :beer: Oh, and here is a picture...

    I need a clutch that is easy on the leg

    What would you guys suggest for a good clutch that wouldn't be any stiffer compared to the stock 03/04 application? Torque on the car shouldn't be any higher than 500wtq. Any input would help. Thanks! :beer:

    My Fox Body Cobra Find

    Four Eyed Fox that is. :) This place was ridicules. Pretty much a graveyard for a lot of unique cars. The Cobra pictures are way at the bottom. You're probably wondering why the hell I would even bother with a '79 Cobra. Well, my father ordered one brand new back in '78, so I've always tried...

    Going to look at a SB '04 SVTF on Friday

    So my brother gives me a call from England, and he wants me to go look at a SVT Focus for him once he is moved back to the states at the end of the month. It is a Sonic '04 with 61k, and the seller is asking $8,900. Personally I think that is a reasonable price if the car checks out pretty good...

    *Anyone running winter tires on their SVTF?*

    The time has come. :( Winter is here, and my SVTF doesn't want to go anywhere. I was given a free set of Blizzaks, but they were too tall and ended up rubbing before the car was even let on the ground (215/55-17s). I would like to get a set of correct sized Blizzaks, but now I'm afraid that even...

    My SVTF is really starting to piss me off.

    So I have an 02 SVTF with 58k miles, and it is not making Ford look too good IMO. Lately I have noticed that the rear inner tires have been wearing oddly, then not even a week later the front suspension started making horrible clunking noises over every single bump on the road. Soon after...

    Aftermarket Exhaust.....

    I was just curious about what options there are to choose from. I would like to buy exhaust (catback & O/R Y) for my father's 94 for Christmas, but I'm not sure what all is out there. I noticed that Basani offers a pretty nice setup for the Lightning which still shoots out at the normal location...

    I am in a really bad situation.....

    So due to a very stupid situation, I am looking at 3 years no license. Last month I was entering onto the interstate, and right where the 2-lane would end I had looked over and noticed that there was a truck pretty much right next to me. I threw it down a gear and sped up so he wouldn’t have...

    CARS photochop guys, get in here!

    My father’s birthday is coming up next month, and I’ve been wanting to blow up a picture of his Lightning. Now, considering he loves the movie “CARS”, I was hoping that someone here could do a CARS photochop on the picture below. If anyone is up for it, I do have different angles if that one...

    Cobra in the snow OMG!!!!1

    Ok, not really, but I couldn't take it anymore, so I ended up getting my car out just so I could drive it around the block a few times. :lol1: A sheep in wolf's clothing... Bye bye for now, till I get it out one last time before I sell it... :(

    Damn people with no insurance.... *LOOK!*

    *Please keep the racial comments to yourself*:nono: So I was cruising down a street here in Lincoln in my daily driver, and right before I cross a random intersection a damn green Geo pulls out into my lane, then stops completely. I had less then a second to nail my brakes (in the rain)...
