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 |

Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort
Fri, 24 May 2013Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.
Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?
Mon, 17 Dec 2012In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.
