Well, I have posted several times about my car, but it was always in some stage of completion. Finally got it back from the shop after 4 weeks, to fix a header gasket leak, because I drug the headers on parking lot entrance mound, but more importantly they fixed the ongoing idle issue!!!! Yeah! It turned out to be a faulty and sporadic fuel injector, and wow... I thought it ran good before, but it runs awesome.
The Car
-94 GT Convertible, manual, red with black top and cloth interior.
- 47,000 original miles, never been wrecked or had a panel painted
-I did not get the upgraded sound, but I did get the anti-lock brakes. Many of you probably know this but it was an option.
- Bought the car for my wife in early 95, my neighbor was a car dealer and it was his demo, had about 4,000 miles on it.
- My wife drove the car for a few years, but when we had the second child it was relegated to the garage
Upgrades in the 90's
- Wife hit a curb in 96 or 97, i went to the Ford dealer and got the Cobra R rims that are still on it, these are genuine Ford Cobra R's
- Put a Dynomax Stainless Cat back exhaust on it in 98, stll on the car
2000-2013
- Car was never licensed in Kansas where I live now, and I have live here for 13 years, but I drove a tank of gas out of it every year and changed the oil
2013
- I don't know why I kept the car for that long, but I did, and finally I decided that i guess I am keeping it, I might as well get it how I want it...
- Ordered some bolt on parts etc, heads, intake, throttle body, etc. and was looking to have them put on.... pretty simple
- Made the mistake of going by the shop one day, and they had a mustang in with a 331 stroker they had put in a year earlier, and my wallet will never be the same!
The build
- 331 stroker, with all forged internals
- Trick flow heads
- Trick flow intake(black)
- forged pistons
- Trick Flow (Black) valve covers
- Custom ground Comp Cam
- BBK long tube headers
- BBK Off road H pipe
- Connecting to the Dynomax Cat Backs that I put on 16 years ago
- New Spec Clutch
- 3.73 rear end gear
- 7 quart oil pan
- MSD Ignition
- BBK Cold Air intake
- Diablo chip
- Custom tune
The suspension (couldn't leave the 4x4 ride height)
- Eibach convertible lowering spring
- Eibach struts and shocks
- subframe connectors, welded in
- BBK strut tower brace, it clears the Trick Flow intake
Interior
- Steeda Tri Ax shifter
- Alpine cd player I had put in, in 98
- Stock and in perfect condition other than that, not a stain, tear, or scuff. I was bummed out about not getting leather years ago, but turned out to be a blessing, the stock ford cloth interior wore like iron.
A few pictures
- after i got it back from the shop I took it to a buddies, and had a few small dings (dang kids) that accumulated over the years removed, and had the paint buffed for the first time... looks really good i think
