THERE IS NO CARPET ON THE FLOOR AS THE GAS TANK HAD LEAKED ON IT AND IT NEVER GOT REPLACED, I THINK A RUBBER MAT WOULD LOOK BETTER,THERE IS A MODEL A STORE CLOSE BY IF YOU WANT TO PICK ONE UP
THE ENGINE RUNS GREAT, PULLS HARD, HAS LOTS OF POWER, LOTS OF OIL PRESSURE, BUT WILL SPRAY IT OUT OF THE DIP STICK ON THE FREEWAY, I NEED TO TRY AND MODIFY THE ORIGINAL ONE TO SEE IF IT CAN BE STOPPED,JUST HAVENT HAD THE TIME TO TINKER , THE CAR DOES RATTLE AND VIBRATE, IT WILL PUT YOUR GAS FOOT TO SLEEP AFTER 40 MIN, AND WILL SHAKE A FEW BOLTS OR SCREWS LOOSE ONCE IN A WHILE
IT RUNS COOL ALL AROUND TOWN AND ON THE FREEWAY IN CALIFORNIA TRAFFIC, BUT DID GET A LITTLE WARM (220) ON A 10 MILE UPHILL GRADE GOING 65 MPH, I HAD TO BACK OUT AND SLOW IT DOWN FOR A BIT TIL IT CAME BACK DOWN TO 180

Mustang-themed pinball game debuting in Chicago [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Believe it or not, but new pinball machines are still being made. Chicago-based Stern Pinball still makes them and has found a niche selling modern machines to individual buyers and arcade distributors. For its latest cabinet, Stern partnered with Ford to create a pinball game that pays homage to the 50th anniversary of the Mustang, including the next generation. The new machine is being unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6 and goes on sale in March.
Stern is offering the machine in three variants. The pro-level machine is meant for arcades and public spaces and retails for $4,995. All of them come with background and cabinet art by Camilo Pardo, who designed the Ford GT, and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is the game's announcer. Depending on where players shoot the ball, they activate events that simulate drag racing, rallying, drifting and racing the Mustang, and hitting targets lets players shift the gears up and down.
An upgraded, premium table with added art will be added later for pinball machine collectors. The third model is a signed, special edition with art of the 1965 Mustang and 2015 Mustang on the machine and chrome and Mustang badges on the speaker grilles. Prices for these editions will be announced later.
Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost
Mon, 17 Mar 2014"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.
