Finally got it running. I ended up rebuilding the original engine, as the motor in the car was ruined by a bad diablo chip that flooded it and washed the walls. Anyway, I never have posted actual pics of the car, so here it is.
Damn, I was just thinking about you and wondering where you've been.
I was going through some pictures from Carlisle and came across some shots of your car.
Looking good!
How long did it take you to do the rebuild?
Nice stang .
Thats not stock color paint job is it?
I see you have the issue w/ rust on the trunk lid. That seems to be a common issue w/ these cars.
nice. you swapped in the cobra IRS right??
i like how you ran a slower 1/4 with the turbo's lol!
One thing I might add though....lay some concrete down infront of the stalls. That and give me the car.
ha ha, we just moved in the house. driveway is on its way soon. priority was getting the mustang running
As for expected times, The 12.77 @ 106 that I ran before the turbos was with a 3.73 geared 8.8 with HPM lower control arms and Eibach drag springs. It had MT ET streets on weld draglites. the 1.8 60' was thanks to those goodies. The 12.82 @120 was with the same suspension, but 17x9 cobra wheels with 245 Nitto drag radials (on 17's). Those tires were awful. 2.4 60' results. Plus with the 3.73 gears, the shift light was on in 4th as I crossed the traps.
yeah i knew it was traction issues lol! Still....sick car, that is the epitome of "project car" lol!
well hey, its going on 7 years of ownership, 4 engines, 2 transmissions, and 3 rear ends later, this is where it stands. It was almost bone stock when I got it. Not so much anymore!
