Up for auction is a 1994 Ford ThunderBird. The car is stock with one exception, under the hood is a 32 valve DOHC InTech 4.6 liter V8. The motor is similar to that of the Mustang Cobra of 2002 through 2004 with the exception of the supercharger. Also the Mercury Marauder has the DOHC engine as well. This motor was liberated from a 1995 Lincoln Mark VIII with only 65k miles on it. The swap was done 3 and a half years ago and after not quite a year of driving it was parked due to the lack of interest of my friend I helped do the swap.

The Good;

 The car comes with an SCT Programmer loaded with a custom tune done by Lonnie Doll of Blue Oval Chips, Inc. It is not a radical tune, as the engine is stock, so it runs great on regular 89-octane fuel. All the engine wiring is stock with the exception of an added MSD Window Switch, which opens the additional 8 intake runners at 3000 RPM. The 3000-RPM “Pill” can be changed to any RPM you desire. The brakes are good with a recent brake flush and bleed. The transmission shifts good and firm. The radiator and thermostat is new with a strong stock electric fan and does not over heat. AC blows cold, though the compressor cycles on and off, I’m not sure if that is computer controlled or if the refrigerant is low. The interior is fair, the driver seat has separated stitching and splitting. The headliner, sunroof shade and sun visors have all been reupholstered. The project was sanded and put in primer for paint, which was never completed. The original color of the T-Bird was green, but the car has been “jammed” (doors, inner engine compartment and trunk in black) not very well though. Over all she is a good runner with lots of power.

The Bad;

 I don’t think my friend ever took the car for an alignment after the engine swap (the motor comes out of the bottom, which entails unbolting some of the suspension alignment components). Also there is a pull when driving, so an alignment is in order. The exhaust is stock and there is a leak, it is small but noticeable. When my friend called on me to “save” the car, it had been sitting for almost 2 years in his workplace parking lot. The tires, though plenty of tread is on them, are all mismatched and dry rotted. He said he started the car regularly, but it has developed a transmission pan leak. There is some bodywork left to do. Crack in the windscreen. There is a dent on the driver side, beneath the rear window as well as a small ding in the hood. Other than that and a couple of nicks, the body is great! The rear spoiler did not come factory installed on this car, and is currently not mounted due to sanding and primer. Mounting holes are drilled, and I have the correct factory bolts for it. Ready for the color of your choice.

The Ugly;

…None really, just needs some love. It is a good car as it is, it's what Ford should have done for a Super Coupe. I have been truthful in my description and always honest on my auctions. If you have ANY question, please feel free to ask. Thanks, Skagg.

Ken Block rally cars go blue in the face (and everywhere else)

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Well at least we now know why Ken Block "just ain't care" about smashing up his Ford Fiesta rally car recently. It's because he's getting a full brand makeover including a new team name, new paint scheme and even a new headquarters. Formerly known as Monster World Rally Team, Block and his Fiesta will now be competing under the Hoonigan Racing Division name, which is based out of a new 12,000 square foot facility located in Park City, UT.
As you can tell in the image above, Hoonigan Racing will replace the familiar black, white and green paint scheme with a more colorful design featuring plenty of blue, purple and red; the Monster Energy logo retains some of the car's green. The new paint scheme was inspired by Block's love of skateboard graphics from the '80s and early '90s as well as "Miami Vice-era" speedboats.
Block will continue to compete in multiple rally racing series such as Global RallyCross, World Rally Championship and X Games. The new headquarters features office space on one side and a shop for the cars on the other side. The building features plenty of stuff you'd expect from a company designed around Ken Block, including a massive gaming station for racing video games, recycled shipping containers used throughout the facility and a black bear.

Has the 2015 Ford Mustang gained hundreds of pounds?

Sun, 01 Jun 2014

Automakers face competing interests when it comes to developing a new generation of vehicle. On the one hand, companies want to build their cars to be safer and better handling, with more equipment and maybe even larger dimensions over the model it's replacing. On the other hand, they strive to keep weight down to the benefit of both performance and fuel consumption. Usually something has to give, and in the case of the new 2015 Ford Mustang, those efforts may have resulted in a weight penalty of two or three hundred pounds.
This according to Blue Oval modifier Steeda Autosports, which states that "the 2015 Mustang ended up gaining 200-300 pounds in this remake". Despite the Mustang not being on the market yet, it would appear the leading Ford aftermarketer has been given early access to the 2015 model to help jumpstart its tuning efforts (a rather common development among trusted tuners). If Steeda's assertion is accurate, that would make the challenge of getting the new pony car up to speed for both Ford and aftermarket customizers like Steeda that much greater.
We're waiting for official word from Ford on the veracity of Steeda's claim, but if true, it's bound to be a bit of disappointing news for legions of Blue Oval performance enthusiasts. Watch this space for more.

Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.
