Re: Car Enthusiast Thread
Car is a '95 Mustang GTS that I bought brand new in 1995. Currently has just over 25K miles, basically nothing stock remains of the original driveline, suspension or brakes.
Engine is a dart block 363 CID, AFR heads, FTI custom solid roller cam, Pro-M engine management, four barrel style TFS single plane intake, RCI ceramic coated long tube headers, Stainless Works 3" exhaust.
Suspension is all Maximun Motorsport including their full catalog of mods to the IRS, differential is a Torsen T2R. Transmission is Tremec T-56 Magnum 6 speed. Front brakes are 13" Brembo 4 piston, rears are custom 13" Wilwood 4 piston with mechanical parking brake caliper.
I did all the work myself except for machining/assembling the short block, TIG welding the X-pipe portion of the exhaust since I don't have the equipment, and paint work on the spoiler.

Nice! I've had two 66 Mustangs in the past (high school days - so 30+ years ago) Switched to Chevy when I had to replace a timing chain cover on the Ford's 289. As I recall, it cost over $200 for the part alone (I did the labor) when one for a SBC was like $10 & chrome plated.

Very nice! I had an 87 LX 5.0 (manual 5 speed). I think that might have been the funnest car I ever owned, that is until my roommate wrecked it. :mad:

Can you imagine as much as I enjoy music, the only sound system currently in the car is the lovely sound of that exhaust system. It's a deep throaty growl, definitely music to my ears. If you enjoy going around turns at a G-force or better, this thing will make your day! More fun than a barrel full of monkeys, and I could post up pictures of those as well, LOL.
Surely do hope there are some other car fanatics on this site that will post up pictures of their pride and joy!
