This one was guaranteed not to blow a brake line :)


And the car is sold.

Bump and update.

Fixed the power steering leak and found that the pump was burned up. Harold hooked me up with a used pump and I installed a re-seal kit in it before putting it in. Power...

I think the roof could be removed. Give me a call if you want to come take a look at it. I will be home all day today and tomorrow.

I will get some tomorrow.

I just fixed the brakes. Replaced the LF caliper and bled all 4 wheels. Nice firm pedal and no more brake light.

Replaced the shifter cable. The car runs and drives now. Goes into all gears and shifts smooth. Clutch is great. Engine runs smooth after I fixed all the vacuum lines and doesn't even tick. Just...

I'm going to assume not factory. It looks aftermarket. It is professional. It must have some sort of fiberglass shell on the roof to give it shape. It reshapes the rear window opening and...

Dude that sucks! At least you know of a good body man.

I thought it was the SDAC curse?

Some more update and an SDAC story.

After wiring all my gauges I found my used Autometer EGT gauge doesn't work. :(
All other gauges were working.

Drove the car to the SDAC car show in Fox...

Got the valve body modified for the shift kit. Blocked the accumalator. Shifts firm, but I get a flare on the 2-3. Need to re-check the band and also the kick down cable.

BOV is loud. Have not...

Thank you!

How long will the drag racing event go on Tuesday? I planned on coming out with my Spirit after work at 5 pm to make some fun runs. GLD's calendar shows it as the regular Tuesday "street tire...

Anyone know which holes to drill in the valve body spacer plate and what size to drill them when making a shift kit for the A413? I remember reading about it on the turbodiy website that is no...

Update time. SDAC-21 is practically in my back yard this year. Time to upgrade the Spirit with all the parts I have collected over the years.
Mods:
Spirit ES front bumper (mine was damaged) $0.00...

I have the stock 2.5" dp, and resonator (gutted cat) on my Spirit (2.5 8v with a stock Garrett). I made my own 2.5" mandrel tail pipe with a cheapie 2.5" turbo muffler in the stock location. Looks...

Time for an update. With it officially no longer "Mustang" weather, I started driving the L/E. Found out quickly that the heater is less than steller. Especially when it is below 30 degrees F...

My 89 Turbo Spirit has problems throwing heat. It has a new 195 t-stat in it too. It is just warm air out the heater. Mine has a heater control valve under the battery. I see it working when I...

Got the car back last week. Worked on it Saturday night and re-designed the TV cable bracket and linkage arm. Welded in a piece of the old 3.1 bracket onto the new 3400 bracket. Took the car for a...

Not much of an update. The reason for it not shifting is due to the throttle valve cable for the transmission. It is out of adjustment and needs to be re-designed. The geometry of the home made...

Can't really tell because it wouldn't shift into the next gear to be able to put a load on it. I didn't want to completely stand on it in 1st gear only. I did accelerate somewhat hard from a stop...

Small update. Installed the Accel 24 pph injectors last night. Running rich now. Drove the car and the only code that popped up was for the IAT sensor. That's because it is not plugged in yet. ...

Update time for those who were wondering

A LOT has happened since my last post.

The 3.1 block was sent out to be checked and found a crack in #3 cylinder wall. Block was junk. Decided on...
