Setup:
Stock power Mach 1
4.88 gears
Baseline Suspension Street Outlaw setup
Eibach drag springs
Lakewood 90/10 and 50/50 struts and shocks
I'm currently on 295s ( 17" 10.5 wheel). I don't like how it hooks. I'd like to switch over to a slick and eliminate any problems. What is the...
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...
Okay, one roll race. We'll let it slide. :lol1: Just to give you an idea of where these cars stack up:
- CTS-V is pullied on E85, 664whp
- 408 notch runs high 6s 1/8 mile
- LS1 Makes 400whp N/A. Currently on a 200 shot
- Laser runs 10.10s @135mph
- Lightning runs low 12s
- Hatchback Fox...
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...
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...
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...
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:
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...
Located in Lincoln, NE
'98 Mustang GT. 95k miles, average condition on the inside, and the outside has quite a few little scratches here and there. The transmission was just flushed with Motorcraft Mercon V, the coolant has been recently flushed, new serpentine belt, new cooling fan, and...
A Mach 1 came into my friends shop today, and he is looking for the right parts to get his car running right. He is running Comp XE278AH-114 cams with 242/240 Duration @ .050. & .475-.450 lift. The car has a bigger throttle body, full exhaust, some head work apparently, and a fresh stroker...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Does anyone have some threads they could point me to where it talks about this. I can't find anything under a search. The new owner of my car would like to read why this is important.
Spanks! :beer:
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...
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...
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... :(
*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)...
The other night I was following my buddy into a parking garage while driving like normal, and the next thing I know, 4 cop cars are chasing after me because they "thought" I had the car floored all the way up the garage. :) After some BSing, the cops overlooked my expired tags (I thought I...
I actually pulled the car out and snapped some pictures before it gets put away for a few months. They aren't great, but better then the last shots.
Yes, I fully understand it needs lowered. :D
