Don't worry about it Frankie, as long as nothing was damaged your all good. Live and learn right?

I ****ed up so many on customer ca...uhh cars that belong to my buddies.

Mark_Dorman · 02-17-2009, 01:16 AM

That was the funniest sh*t I've ever seen...I almost died. You can ask Colin

I like those Tom's rims!

mr.asian.m2 · 02-17-2009, 01:17 AM

yeah, i'm glad i didn't do any harm to it. but, i'm always ready for an upgrade if anything did go wrong with my engine.

masagsxr · 02-17-2009, 01:24 AM

How about you upgrade anyway and you donate your engine to one of us

..... Well, glad your duece will be back tomorrow in no time stronger than ever

mr.asian.m2 · 02-17-2009, 01:31 AM

well, you never know what will happen. i always wanted to do a bean engine with an upgrade turbo to it. but, have no time for it right now. maybe down the road sometime.

masagsxr · 02-17-2009, 01:42 AM

You could have done it already rather than figuring out the distributor problem all day today

.... j/k... Yeah, Beams was for me too even before I owned my 2 but as time goes and reading more treads, I don't want to be hounding on some parts that I need or will need if something brakes down. I'd still with a lot more common swap.

Mark_Dorman · 02-17-2009, 01:46 AM

Yeah V6!!!

masagsxr · 02-17-2009, 01:48 AM

Dorman... got an inquiry about a guy with a 97 mustang Cobra. He wanted to cut his springs and i was like LMAO.. Told him spend good $$$ on his car as it is not a regular mustang.... Is this the same 4 wheel independent suspension? Daym I'd really dont want to do the mustang again hahahahaha.. Maybe I will invest on those portable spring compressor.

Mark_Dorman · 02-17-2009, 01:59 AM

Yeah...the cobra's are the only mustangs with independent rear suspension. You shouldn't need a spring compressor to get the old springs off or the new ones on. I just used a chain and kicked the control arm. The lowering springs go in no problem...

masagsxr · 02-17-2009, 02:14 AM

Are they? Thought they all were independent since the 89 mustang I worked on was all 4 independent... But yeah, he wanted to cut the springs than putting on lowering springs. Man those stock springs are at least 6" taller than the lowering springs and I'm sure if I take those off, I'm going to have a hard time putting it back on without removing the control arm completely then I'll have a hard time lining up the mounting hole and put those bolts in.... I guess i'll check it out tomorrow to see how it looks. I got access to the whole assembly anyway

Mark_Dorman · 02-17-2009, 02:38 AM

That's odd...mustangs to this day have a solid rear axles except of the cobras...

Mark_Dorman · 02-17-2009, 03:02 AM

Alright...I need some opinions again! What do you guys think of the Kei Office wing???

Mark_Dorman · 02-17-2009, 03:02 AM

Whoah...double post. But really...some feedback would be appreciated

Cjung · 02-17-2009, 03:35 AM

i alwys wondered if those were functional... and they look huge n all would it b havier than the 91?

Shadow. · 02-17-2009, 03:59 AM

what do you guys think of the turbonetics t3/t4 hybrid TO4E-50 / F1-54 .48 A/R

if i wanted a 300whp daily driver and ability to boost like 400whp

xltinlx · 02-17-2009, 04:52 AM

i dont like the wing that much mark... BUT THOSE DAMN SUPRAS IN THE BACKGROUND OMG@#E@#$(#*&@(UFDSKJFSDFDLFJDSFJLLKSFJ

=[

Mark_Dorman · 02-17-2009, 09:53 AM

It's not that big christian...Anything on the back is functional...just depends how much impact it makes. The bigger the more affective.

Yeah...I'm just gonna stick with the 91 wing for now

...

masagsxr · 02-17-2009, 10:53 AM

I like that... wasn't there one that fill in the quarter panel as well just like the 3pc wing?

Mark_Dorman · 02-17-2009, 10:56 AM

You mean the bomex whale tail???

I think it's a little too big...
