1992 Ford Mustang Gt With Turbo on 2040-cars
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 |

2015 Roush Mustang lineup officially revealed
Thu, 02 Oct 2014
Just last week, Saleen revealed initial details of its tuning program for the new Ford Mustang. And now Roush is following suit.
Available in three stages - based on the V6 (RS), EcoBoost (RS1) and V8 (RS2) models - the 2015 Roush Mustangs all feature the venerable Ford tuner's latest R7 aero kit complete with remodeled fascia, five-blade grille, gaping air dam with integrated driving lamps and splitter. Around back there's a one-piece deck spoiler and "race-inspired lower aero-valance."
2015 Ford Transit
Wed, 11 Jun 2014As a segment, fullsize vans are stealth-fighter invisible on most consumers' radar. Visit a dealership for any of the four brands that offer them and you'll be lucky to find even one on display. These are commercial vehicles primarily, even more so than pickup trucks. Vans are the shuttles for plumbers, caterers, carpenters, concrete layers, masons, electricians, florists and flooring, and a huge part of this country's productivity is accomplished using them. At the moment, Ford is the 800-pound gorilla in that room - fully 41 percent of commercial vehicles wear a Blue Oval. So when Ford announced three years ago it would be ditching its commercial bread-and-butter E-Series, it meant the Transit that would be replacing the Econoline had huge, 53-year-old shoes to fill.
We were still a bit nostalgic about Econoline vans going away until going directly from the Transit first drive in Kansas City to an E-350 airport shuttle. Climb up through the Econoline's tiny double doors and bang your head on the opening, crouch all the way to your seat then enjoy a loud, rattle-prone, creaky, harsh ride on beam-hard seats while struggling to see out the low windows. This is an experience nearly every traveler has had. By comparison, the Transits we'd just spent two days with were every bit of the four decades better they needed to be. It cannot be understated just how much better the Transit is in every single way. The load floor is barely more than knee high. There's a huge side door, and hitting your head on a door opening is nearly impossible. Stand up all the way if you're under six-foot, six-inches - no more half-hunching down the aisle. There are windows actually designed to be looked out of. The ride is buttery smooth, no booming vibration from un-restrained metal panels and no squeaks. Conversations can be held at normal levels rather than yelling over the roar of an ancient V8. The seats are comfortable. The AC is cold. There are cupholders.
Enough anecdote-laying, what's in a Transit? We're talking about a very fullsized unibody van that's enjoyed a 49-year history in Ye Olde Europe. This latest iteration is part of the "One Ford" initiative, so it was designed as a global offering from the get-go, eschewing the body-on-frame construction the E-Series has used since 1975. Instead, the Transit integrates a rigid ladder frame into an overall frame construction made of high-strength cold-rolled and boron steel. The suspension is a simple but well-tuned Macpherson strut array up front with a rear solid axle and leaf springs.
Ken Block's Gymkhana 8 to feature Dubai Police cars?
Tue, Feb 23 2016Yesterday we showed you the shiny Ford Fiesta that Ken Block will slide, spin, and hoon through the next Gymkhana video. In case the image above isn't clear, that video will drop at midnight EST on February 30th on the Ford Performance YouTube channel. We don't know all the entire premise of the video yet, but this Tweet from the man himself reveals that the video will be set in Dubai. Block is standing on the Fiesta we saw yesterday, and arrayed behind him are a handful of those famous Dubai Police cars you're probably familiar with. The force has a fleet of sportscars and supercars, and the purpose is outreach and goodwill among its citizenry, not necessarily the pursuit of criminals. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. From left to right, we can see a Maserati GranTurismo, Porsche 911, what looks to be a Nissan GT-R obscured by Block's Fiesta, a McLaren (likely a 650S), Ford Mustang, and a Ferrari 599 of some ilk. Will they take part? Maybe Block will try and run from what might be the most horsepower-intensive police fleet in the world. We'll have answers (and a few minutes of pure Block hooniganism) in a few days. Related Video:
