Up for auction is supercharged 1988 mustang. I bought this car about a year and a half ago, but I have found that its just got a little more than I need under the hood. It is a rush to drive, but I need a weekend cruiser with some go, and this car really should be cruising to the track on the weekends. I am a bit torn about selIing it, but we want to get something that the wife is comfortable driving too. I run the car on 50/50 race/pump gas. It can run fine on just pump gas by simply dialing back the boost retard mouted on the dash. The car has the 5-lug conversion and rims are from an 03 SVT cobra. There are wheel spacers on the front lugs, so they can fit the 17x9" wheels. I havent had a problem with them and a lot of people run them, but I was going to get something skinnier for the front. I'll leave that up to you. Mickey T drag radials in the back and goodyear eagle F1's in the font. The car is just how I bought it, and I will do my best to detail what I learned from the owner who had it built by a race shop in OK. I bought the car 200 miles after the build, and have put about 300 on it so everything that you see is about 2 years and 500 miles old, including the paint. He dumped a ton of $ into it and a house came up for sale that he had to have. I am not a mechanic, but I at least understand most of the terminology. If you have any questions I will do my best to answer them. Please look closely at the pictures as the car is really nice, but not flawless. I do not have a hoist, but you can see that under the car is rust free. The motor is a 302 cleaned out to 306 with all forged internals, and a Vortec V-2 supercharger. The supercharger was used, but was sent in to Vortec for a complete rebuild when the engine was built. The car has been very dependable. It always starts right up and runs great. A few of the non-essentials have been elimitated like heat, AC, wipers and cruise. All of the lights and singals are new and work fine.Below is a list of all aftermarket goodies that make this car something special. The car put out over 700hp on straight race fuel at the crank. 537 hp to the rear wheels.
Trickflow intake and stage 2 cam
ARP hardware
SFI balancer
70mm throttle body
90mm mass air flow senser
flowed 42 lb injectors
Built in 6000 rpm rev limiter
Tremec TKO 600 5 speed manual transmission
Lakewood scatter shield
Aluminum Flywheel
Spec Stage 3 clutch
Chromoly Driveshaft
31 spline axles with an auburn rear end
New disc brakes up front, new drums in back
New monroe shocks in the rear with rear links, and subframe connectors
Tubular front K-member with fully adjustable front coilovers
Stainless 2.5 inch mufflers (I cannot discribe how mean this car sounds...you just have to hear it)
All MSD ingnition (blaster coil, 6AL box, dialable boost retard for street fuel)
Ford Racing Tach with shift light.
Mishimoto Aluminum radiator with electric fan.
Please feel free to ask questions as I am sure I forgot something. The car does have a slight oil leak from the rear main seal. After some reading online I see that the ford 302 is known for that, ecspecially when they are boosted. It does not leak all the time, only when it runs. It has been such a small amount that I have left it alone. The weather stripping and trim could be replaced in some areas, and the interior is nice, but not show quality. The plastic rear bumper cover has a slight bulge in the center that is more obvious in the pictures than in person. The speedometer is not hooked up because it needs an a different plug is needed to go into the TKO vs its original 5 speed that the speedo is meant for.... Again please look at the pictures. Dont be scared off by this stuff. Its all very minor, but as you can see from my feedback I don't want to try to sneak it by you and end up with an unhappy buyer. For my starting bid you would be crazy not to be happy with this car. The drivetrain cost more to build than $6k. Good luck....and if you bid...plan on paying for it!
This is a re-list due to a non paying bidder.

2014 Ford Fiesta gets fuel economy bump to 41 mpg
Fri, 07 Jun 2013The 2014 Ford Fiesta is in showrooms now with refreshed styling and new performance ST model, but it's what isn't yet available that should help the Fiesta stand out from the growing crowd of subcompacts. Aside from the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost model coming later this year, Ford recently told us that a new Fiesta SFE trim level is on the way that should put the updated Fiesta at the top of its class for fuel economy.
The new Fiesta SFE will hit an estimated 41 miles per gallon on the highway when equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission. The current listing on fueleconomy.gov shows the 2014 Fiesta getting up to 29 mpg city and 39 highway, but the SFE will get minor aero tuning and a recalibrated engine controller to help bump the highway figure past rivals like the Chevrolet Sonic and Nissan Versa - both of which top out at 40-mpg highway. There's still no word as to when the small 1.0-liter EcoBoost will show in the US, but Ford has indicated that engine's fuel economy isn't expected to be released until October.
Ford looks to space robots to improve car-to-car communications [w/video]
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Ford has partnered with St. Petersburg Polytechnic University for three years to research various kinds of connected vehicle communications. The university tie-up is part of its study of space robots, NASA systems created to enable space-to-Earth communication, and the university's own development of systems that enable communication between the International Space State and Earth.
The objective is for Ford to engineer layers of robust networks and redundancy systems that will allow your car to speak to other cars, to emergency vehicles, to infrastructure like traffic lights and buildings, and to the cloud. Benefits would come in just about every area of transit, from avoiding accidents, to getting medical workers to an accident more quickly, to improving the flow of traffic during rush hour.
Check out the press release below for details on what Ford wants to learn from the JUSTIN Humanoid and NASA Robonaut R2, and a video of technical leader Oleg Gusikhin discussing his interest in the project.
Tanner Foust gets eponymous hotted-up Ford Focus ST from Cobb Tuning
Thu, 14 Mar 2013Racer and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust has partnered up with Cobb Tuning to create a special-edition Ford Focus ST. The limited-edition hatches will come packing a reflashed ECU, special intercooler, tweaked intake and freer-flowing exhaust for up to 20 percent more power than the stock creation. Cobb says that the changes should push the final dyno figure to above 300 horsepower. Buyers can also expect to find special carbon fiber aerodynamic bits on board along with a new grille, graphics and wheels. Cobb hasn't released pricing on this Tanner Foust Edition Ford Focus ST as of yet, but you can bet the whole kit won't be cheap.
Fortunately, the company will sell you bits and pieces from the overall package for your Ford, and word has it engineers are also whipping up a Foust Fiesta ST. Look for Cobb's Focus ST website to go live next month, complete with accurate specs and pricing. Until then, enjoy clicking through the gallery here.
