  3. Any one else? My cousin and I will be there around 7ish.
  4. A bit more lift and he would have cleared the bridge
  5. Nice intro... welcome to CR... flicker http://www.torquedfords.com/img/wow.jpg
  6. I haven't been to the track in over a year ... whats the deal? I'm not going to be able to make it this weekend, unfortunately I have to plan these things weeks out
  7. My cousin and I are planning on going. Anyone else? I need some practice before NMRA weekend!
  8. Forgot to mention... from what i understand ... he keeps receipts for everything with all his vehicles so he probably has a receipt for every part he has ever replaced. Probably the last 50k miles has been pretty much all highway. I drove the car around Christmas ran good, engine was strong, trans and clutch seemed fine. Just different driving/shifting a car with linkage, rather than a rod straight into the trans like the mustang and ranger He would probably negotiate the price ... but you would have to speak with him.
  9. Not bad. He replaced the trans and clutch at some point. He drives it to work on Hamilton about every day until recently. Like he said there is a problem with it when your cruising and you push in the clutch the engine stalls. Not sure exactly whats causing it, no check engine, probably needs a good tune up (plugs and wires). The stalling issue may be due to a vacuum line or something not sure. If your interested in test driving it or getting in contact with him i can pm you his phone number? He lives in pickerington right off of 70.
  10. Is it this one? http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=p&car_id=283545665&dealer_id=65513257&car_year=1992&doors=&systime=&listingCounter=0&model=TAURUS&adModel=TAURUS&search_lang=en&style_flag=1&start_year=1990&keywordsrep=&keywordsfyc=&highlightFirstMakeModel=&search_type=both&lastStartYear=1981&distance=25&min_price=&rdm=1280885877958&drive=&marketZipError=false&advanced=&fuel=&listingPriority=30&keywords_display=&sownerid=75287&end_year=1994&showZipError=y&make2=&certified=&engine=&adBodyStyle=&page_location=findacar::ispsearchform&body_code=0&transmission=&default_sort=priceDESC&max_mileage=&address=43147&color=&sort_type=priceDESC&adMake=FORD&max_price=&awsp=false&adClassSeries=&make=FORD&seller_type=p&num_records=25&cardist=0 its my father in law's car...
  11. Doesn't really matter... I live in the condo complex before the RR tracks on 256. We are heading to myrtle beach and most likely borrowing my uncles truck and trailer to haul the car down, Tuesday after work. Secure area would be nice, but i'm up for suggestions/options.
  12. I might need a safe spot to park an enclosed car trailer this weekend for a few days (sunday, monday and tuesday). There is pretty much no room at our condo complex. If you have space or know someone/where shoot me a pm. Thanks, Shawn
  13. My wife and I will be heading down with family and plan on attending the track day on Wednesday. Anyone else going from Columbus? http://www.mustangweek.com/news/showarticle.php?articleID=5 Wednesday - July 21,2010 Myrtle Beach Circle Track Fun Runs, Autocross and Burn-Out Contest 3:00pm-9:00pm

  15. Well i got up early this morning and pulled the kb and intake off. Cleaned the intake ports and used a grinder to smooth out one of the heads. The patriot stage 3 heads had a few places where the surface wasn't level? weird. Not sure if anyone else has had this problem. I took the grinder to it and flattened it out. Bolted everything back up. Let it run for about 10 min. Oil pressure is awesome! So I lowered it off the jack stands and pulled it out of the garage. Seemed to still have a leak where the radiator hose bolted up to the intake. So i got the allen wrench out and torqued it down some more. Seemed to stop it. There might be a very minimal leak not sure yet. While the car was in the garage for the winter pretty much all the power stearing fluid leaked out so the pump was screaming! Topped it off a couple of times and it was good to go. Put the hood on myself! Which if you have done this before, isn't much fun but I managed. Then took it out for a spin. It was running ok. The 90 degree heat didn't help things. Either way it ran ok. So then this evening we went out to buckeye lake about 25 miles away and started the break in. Did a lot of 1500 - 3500k rpm pulls and let the engine do the breaking. It was leaving some blue smoke initially but after we got mostly there it stopped. We ate dinner and headed home. It was then in the upper 70's and much cooler. It ran much better. Put about 50 miles on the new engine and its doing good. Few issues to work out. The home made catch can is leaking air so it sounds like its loosing air when you shut it off... will fix that this week. Also i put the KB in valet mode to keep it out of boost for the break in. Still whines pretty good but not boosting, yet! Here are some videos for your enjoyment!
  16. So what im hearing is that ... the best place to put a plastic home depot catch can is between the long tubes right? Thanks man! We will see how the HD one holds up.
  17. How did it make a mess if everything was clamped down tight? Just curious... short term like to get it running this weekend, im going the HD route I think, then next week will probably order a "good" one. Or i can always go the baked beans can route http://forums.themustangsource.com/f669/moroso-catch-can-up-close-478813/index4/
  18. May go this route.... http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/787807-home-made-oil-separator.html Anyone see a problem using this setup on a new motor... ie 0 miles just rebuilt?
  19. Would anyone have one of these for sale? http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/55552205.jpg http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/900/957/957-555-3710.jpg http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/52205/10002/-1 http://www.jegs.com/i/Steeda/957/555-3710/10002/-1 I'm going to call Jegs to see if they have any in stock (one on main st) but wondering if any of you guys have one i can buy used. Its for my 4.6 gt.
  20. Thanks man for your help on this but I was able to make mine work. Just have to move around the BOV a bit.
  21. Could you post a pic of it? i want to double check where the regulator is on the drivers side... compared to mine.
  22. Wow... I'm not paying that much maybe $50 but ... anyways thanks man! I'm going to call around some junkyards.
  23. Sounds good... i might pay more we will see....
