OMG!:eek: That car is sick man! I absolutely love it!

Any pics/details of the cars build?

I looked for one of those small push on retainer/clip things to hold the metal arm from the blend door to the grey arm on the lower end near the glove box, to no avail. The metal arm is back on the grey arm and now, when I reach up and move it by hand, I have full heat. When adjusting the temp from full hot to about 70, it'll move by itself, but wont move it back to hot by itself. Oh well, it'll be good enough for this winter.
 
Drove the Mark.... A lot! May need new rear tires, it really likes 68 degree weather. Kept breaking loose and I wasn't even trying...

Stayed up until 1:30am last night installing Long Tube headers and full 3" exhaust on a 2002 WS6 Trans AM. PITA!

Finished up the last of my coolant crossover caps....very sad day.

I'm leaving my current job at the end of this week, and will no longer have access to the machine shop... :(

Hopefully, some time in the future, I'll have all of my own equipment to be able to make them again.

Well ever since I put my mufflers back on almost 2 weeks ago i've been getting exactly 18.0mpg all city driving. Iirc I was getting 16.8-17.3 before. I will say that it has been a little cooler this week (low 70's), but we had a 3-4 day stretch were it was above 80 (2 90+) last week.

Driving style hasn't changed either. idk,, just thought i'd share.:)
 
Also I just noticed after 4 years of ownership that the mfs has int speed settings. I always wondered why when it was clicked to "int" it went ultra slow. Perhaps it's cause the setting was on the slowest one..smh

you looking at selling the cross over caps? how much for 2?

Yep, I have been since about January. I've sold about 70 of them so far, mostly on Cobra/Mustang forums...
Almost all of those caps shown in the picture have already been paid for/ordered. I'll check and see how many extras I've got, if any, and let you know. I sell them for $40 shipped each.

Today was my last day at my current job, so I can't make them anymore. Hopefully my next job has some of the same equipment, and will enable me to start making them again...
 
Got the tq converter in and got the car running. Going to drive around for a week, then flush and filter change again. Been three months since I drove it last.
 
threw it on the trailer to take to my dads to fix the brakes... Popped a line almost a month ago. Putting it on the trailer with no brakes is kinda sketchy... not going to lie.
 
Nice wheels Duck.

What brand are they?


I changed the oil for the first time in my Mark myself last week.I have not done anything to a car myself in 8 years.It sure is nice to have a friend who has a car lift I can roll under. :wrench

I did polish the the headlights but I won't count that as really doing anything to a car.


I am in a wheelchair for those who do not know.


Oh and also I have been enjoying driving the Mark also. :steering

If you're a cop, and the only thing you're good for is writing tickets, i say you're a worthless waste of flesh...go do the world a favor and suck on your gun

mustang front hubs. $50

$755.
not bad if you ask me.
 
Stopped in jegs for a few An fittings and a Fuel pressure regulator and $350 later.... Ouch
 
put around 400 miles on a 97 this weekend.
i like the interior. squishy seats. better door panels.
it didn't have as much go as my 93. didn't really get off the line. reluctant to down shift on the highway. gas mileage was so so. but i wasn't being too nice.
i would not trade up unless the gen 2 got tuned the way i would like it.
and stopped off at Gates for some barbecue in kansas city. now that's some good stuff.
 
Washed it, Filled the tires, Remounted my custom gps holder and checked the fluids.



fun......
 
Put some new speakers in the rear and changed out the rear shocks for some Bilsteins. The old motorcraft shocks did not have any gas left in them and the upper mounts were shot.
Man, what a difference!!! Me likey!! :D:D
