pics from today with new rear tires and rear coil springs.. looks BEEF

Oh no somebody stole your 2 front center caps and relpaced your white letters with blue stuff!!!!!

Lol so how long does a set of tires last on that, 800miles? 400 of it with the front tires not moving.

 

[Boggin]

lol i left the center caps off because i am taking the front wheels off again soon since i gotta replace control arm bushings, and dont worry all the blue is scraped off the tires now lol
and a set of rear tires is usually good for a summer

Well Jeff, that's a sexy Fox. I am curious though, what was up with your old coil springs?

Want to know a sure fire way to make those front bushings and ball joints last a really long time? Buy some new control arms like me =). I bought brand new FMS control arms (both for 120 dollars) about 10 years ago..... and they are still waiting for their moment.

old coils were sagged baddd. when i took the old ones out they were about 1.5" shorter than the new ones. and she raised in the rear around 3"! around 4" all together with the bigger tires

 

[shane96ranger]

Wow, that's a big change.

Shamefully, mine still has the OEM springs and shocks on the rear (quads too).

What ring and pinion do you have in it again?

 

[Boggin]

i have absolutely no idea.i wonder do these have a door sticker like the rangers do?

Is it factory still? Im guessing so if you aren't sure what it is. It's either a 2.73 or a 3.08 ratio. I've always just read the tag.

Wait...... yours has a T5 right? If it has an AOD it would be a 2.73 or 3.27 ratio.

 

[Boggin]

yup mines stock gears and it got a t5

it actually appears the blue is being scrubbed off in the pics lol.

and ill have to try to get a video of my friends 1991 gt at a burn out contest at a car show we put on. I took 2 old 12s off of my festiva and we drilled the rims out for the mustang, talk about a nice smoke cloud

headgasket=1. me=0


Raped the headgasket a couple nights ago. got at it today and had her tore down and the gasket out in a little over half hour. working on a new clean engine is so nice.
Gotta wait till tomorrow morning to get the gasket, then it will be put in and will be running again tomorrow. then shes getting a for sale sign in the window.

 

[shane96ranger]

then shes getting a for sale sign in the window.

Why oh why? Are you selling it because of the head gasket?

 

[Boggin]

I know, i hate to say it but its gonna happen. every time i fix it, its always something else going wrong. and i dont have the time/cash to be replacing shit every week
