1992 Ford Mustang Gt With Turbo on 2040-cars
Year:1992
Mileage:94000
Location:
Roanoke, Virginia, United States

RE-LISTED WITH NO RESERVE. Detailed Description: I bought this car about 7 years ago in South Carolina from the 2nd owner who had owned the car the majority of its life. For the first 4 years I owned the car, I drove it 3-4 days a week. However, things have changed quite a bit since moving to Roanoke, VA 3 years ago. An SUV and a minivan now sit in our driveway and the mustang generally sits in the 3 car garage all by her lonesome. Why is this? We have a 20 month old daughter, a son on the way on June 18th, and no plans of stopping anytime soon. When I first purchased the mustang it looked very stock from the outside but had several modifications including the turbo and several other mods you will see in the build list. In my time with the car, I focused on mechanicals, tuning the engine, suspension/handling, and looks. The car drives much better than new and the original black interior is in great shape. All paint is in great shape and original, except for the front and rear bumper covers that have been painted to match (they faded with time). To finish this build I would simply replace the faded black side window trim (rub with back to black but only lasts a few weeks), replace the headliner that comes loose on the sides above the windows occasionally, roll the rear fenders so the 295s no longer rub on extreme angles of approach/departure (or switch to 275s), and get some touch up paint for the spoiler. Modifications prior to my owning:
Modifications
while I owned the car: Converted the car to 5 lug axles with disc brakes front/rear -Front used
1995 Spindles with 2004 Dual Piston PBR Calipers -Rear
used North Racecar rear brake brackets and 5 lug fox length Yukon axles -Installed
1998 v6 booster and master cylinder While installing the new rear axles, I rebuilt the rear differential
and axle housing with Timken bearings throughout (didn’t need it but they were
free as I was a mechanical engineer for Timken at time) Installed front/rear cobra bumpers, exhaust tips Installed Moates Quarterhorse and used Binary Editor for tuning the engine. Installed new tires/wheels from Wheel Replicas
Installed Bilstein shocks and 1” lowering springs all the
way around Rebuilt front end with new ball joints and tie rod ends
Installed thermostat controlled electric fan/shroud Installed new timing cover gasket, thermostat, water pump Professional 4 wheel alignment Stereo upgraded with 4 new infinity speakers/amp/headunit I had the paint professionally buffed out and waxed 9 months ago knowing this day was coming. TUNING The mass air meter has been tuned for the 42lb injectors, so, by simply turning the timing on the distributor back to 0 degrees, you can run up to 8psi of boost and make wonderful power without risk of spark knock. I wanted to learn more about tuning so I purchased the Quarterhorse and Binary Editor and have made simple tune adjustments and datalogs. The turbo is large enough to make at least 15psi of boost but I have never passed the 8psi. I have the alcohol/methanol setup to come on at 7.5 PSI and spray continuosly. I have only filled the reservoir once with windshield washer fluid (50% methanol) so it must not use very much. *When the 2nd owner installed the TKO600 transmission (5 speed manual rated for 600 lb-ft input torque), he left the speedometer cable unplugged for some period of time while he was trying to find the correct speedo gear to go in the transmission. He told me the car has maybe 5k more that what the odometer showed. I trust this friend has told the truth. That being said, I marked the new VA title as mileage shown is not accurate for this reason. I have also replaced the weatherstripping between the (2) doors and rear hatch. I wish my other cars would sound like this mustang when I close the door - what happened Detroit? I have had some questions that I have answered for folks so I thought I would share them here for everyone: - How driveable is the car? Very - as much as any other car. I have taken it on many 6-7 hour drives from SC to VA, etc. - The A/C works wonderfully and I have never had any problems with A/C or heat. I topped the charge off on the A/C about 6 years ago and haven't touched since and it has performed wonderfully. I wouldn't own a car without good A/C. - When I upgraded the brakes, I added a line lock to lock the front brakes for burnouts, etc. I haven't done a burn out using it, but I have tested the line lock on steep hills etc. - The side/rear windows of the car have been tinted. The tint on the drivers side is starting to peel. - The flash on my camera makes the seats look kinda gray, they are nice and black. I am sure I'm still forgetting things I have done so check back for updates. There have been people asking if I'll end the auction early. Yes I will for the right price. *I have the vehicle for sale locally and reserve the right to terminate the auction early. If you are serious give me a call. steeleinva@hotmail.com 540-581-5986 |

Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief
Thu, 29 May 2014The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
Ford offering factory-spec EcoBoost reflashes that don't void warranty*
Sat, Dec 27 2014Buy a supercharger or cold-air kit from Ford Racing and a Performance Calibration handset comes with it to reset the ECU for the upgrade. Now Ford Racing is offering the ProCal handset a la carte for $595, allowing you to reflash the ECU on your EcoBoost-equipped ride to extract more of its inherent capabilities without any additional upgrades. It gives you control of variables such as throttle response, idle speed and turbo wastegate control, among others. As for that warranty asterisk, the press release says enthusiasts can up the power "while maintaining the Ford-backed limited warranty." However Ford Motor Co. and Ford Racing are separate entities, and, best we can tell, when you reflash the ECU, your Ford warranty gets supplanted by the Ford Racing warranty. Say you bought a 2014 Ford, that means your five-year, 60,000-mile warranty becomes Ford Racing's three-year, 36,000-mile warranty, if we're reading the fine print correctly. If you have an older car and have driven more than 36,000 miles, then your warranty options are kaput, at least as far as a Ford in-house option. If have warranty concerns, you might also want to consider having a dealer perform the reflash, or at least ask about it. Once you've got past the small print, what about the numbers? At the moment Ford Racing offers tunes for the 2.0-liter EcoBoost in the Focus ST and the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the Fiesta ST, and we're told there's a 90-pound-foot boost in torque at the crank after you've pressed the right buttons. Anecdotal evidence from a commenter at Road & Track says he went from 252 horsepower at the flywheel to 254 hp at the wheels, and 272 lb-ft at the flywheel to 354 lb-ft at the wheels, but we can't be sure that his adjustments were within Ford Racing specs. Your mileage, naturally, may vary. What about custom numbers for the 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the 2015 Ford Mustang? They aren't ready yet, but we're told we'll get something by the end of next year.

Chevy Corvette Z06, Ford F-150 Raptor join Lego Speed Champs
Tue, Oct 20 2015Get ready to park some performance machines on your desk: Lego's 2016 line of Speed Champions kits will add seven new vehicles for next year, according to an update to the database Brickset. These include some serious muscle like a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Ford Mustang GT. There's also a listing called "Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race" and a very cool combo titled "Ford F-150 Raptor Ford/Model A Hot Rod". Fans of European performance don't need to be jealous, though. The database shows a kit called "Porsche 919 Hybrid and 917K Pit-Lane." Plus for fans of the Four Rings, the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro and R8 LMS Ultra are also getting their own Lego models. Fourtitude appears to have some leaked shots, if you want to see what these kits will look like. Lego has partnered with Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari and offers Speed Champions kits for vehicles like the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1, Ferrari 458 Italia GT2, and LaFerrari. The models in the series aren't as heavily detailed as the massive Mini Cooper or Volkswagen Bus sets, but they make up for that in value. The individual cars retail for a fairly affordable $14.99. The Formula One playset tops the current range at $99.99, but it comes with a truck, racecar and team figures.
