Restoring the old Eight Nine Stang

Now the motor matches the rest of the car

LOL

I found this video of the motor at first start up after the head/intake/injector swap.

Talk about a PLUGGED cat. I bought an H-Pipe from a guy a couple years ago that was supposedly good. My car ran like crap wen I put it on, and the cat rattled. This is what was found. The material had busted and turned sideways.

Cat? What dat? LOL those disappeared before I got mine. No state inspection here, so it's "off-road use only" pipes for me! Off-road, my a$$.....

It's just idling. I had just started it after the work I'd done. It has sound, do you mean your computer has no sound?

These cats are made by Catco....they aren't that great. I used to have some Magnaflow/Carsound cats on it that sounded great, and it also ran very well with them. I have some BBK's sitting in the shed for it though.

Think I've mentioned this already, but hopefully when the weather warms up, the current H-pipe will be replace with an X-pipe and those mufflers you posted the link for.

The pypes M80's? You'll have to post a link for sound, I'd like to hear them on your car. I'm going to be getting a new H-Pipe before too long. I'd really like to have a brand new H-pipe to go with the new headers.

By the way, I went and started it last week.......I've got the itch! Plus it gets A LOT better mpg's than my Ranger, so that makes me want to drive it too.

Yea, I'm at work, and no speakers.

Thanks for the new parking spot Jim. I like this idea of the Non-RBV build section.

If I had to sell mine, it would have to be in a pretty bad spot - like when it's a choice between living in my house and eating or my car, LOL. Hopefully I can avoid a spot this summer. We just found out my wife is losing an account she has at work, which will cut her hours in half. We'll see what pans out though.

Good choice though. I'm always happy to see a Fox getting some lovin'!
