1992 Ford Mustang Gt With Turbo on 2040-cars
Year:1992

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 |

Ford of Europe celebrates Mondeo's 20th anniversary
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ford's European operations are celebrating a milestone of sorts as the Mondeo, the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter D-segment sedan in the old country, celebrates its 20th anniversary. The mid-sizer, which was sold in the US for a short time as the Contour, has been a far more popular vehicle in Europe - even receiving regular praise from one Jeremy Clarkson.
Narrated by Cockney actor Ray Winstone, the video goes through the Mondeo's years and how it's evolved from 1993 to the as-yet-unreleased fifth-generation model, which is essentially the same as the Ford Fusion that's sold in America. Take a look below for the full video from Ford of Europe.
NHTSA investigating Ford Fiesta for faulty door latches
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.
NHTSA is still gathering further data about the problem, but looking at the complaints so far, both front and rear doors appear to be potentially involved with the alleged failures. Among the reports, there are 12 claiming that the door opened while driving. Several also indicate the "Door Ajar" warning illuminating during this problem. The one purported injury happened when someone attempted to shut the door, and it bounced back.
Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog via email, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the report from NHTSA.
MotorWeek relives '80s coupes with Dodge Daytona, Ford Escort EXP
Thu, Aug 6 2015Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and the rapid realization of the huge progress in performance cars over the last 30 years. For its latest Retro Review, MotorWeek takes a look back at two, front-wheel drive coupes from the '80s that seem to have entirely vanished from the roads today. Both the 1986 Dodge Daytona CS and the 1986.5 Ford Escort EXP were considered affordable, sporty options in their day, but the passage of time hasn't been kind to either of their specs. The Daytona certainly looks the part of a performance machine with a body that's reminiscent of other '80s coupes, like the third-gen Chevrolet Camaro. However with 146 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque from a 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, acceleration wasn't exactly a strong suit. MotorWeek complained about copious torque steer, as well. The optional CS suspension upgrade package on this Daytona was apparently a nod to Carroll Shelby who was working with Dodge at the time. If anything, the Escort EXP withstands the test of time even worse. As a two-seat coupe, you might have expected Ford's engineers to really turn up the performance to fit the sporty image that the exterior conveyed. That didn't really happen, and depending on which model buyers ordered, they got either 86 horsepower with a 1.9-liter engine or the "high-output" version of that mill with 108 hp.
