Yes, I have since went to the junkyard where they had a 86 and 87 for the picking. I got the front and rear bumper off the 86 because the fiberglass one on the 87 was sagging and nearly worthless.

Among things I'm finding missing on my car after 12 years of ownership are anything under the bumper covers.
So I'm trying to piece things together as best I can. It looks like my options for the...
Many thanks! I absolutely appreciate your guidance and wisdom here.
Thanks for the reply. I believe that confirms my suspicions.
The vacuum actually operates the EGR, and the ECU effectively shuts off the EGR when the engine isn't at operating temperature, or is...
If the TC uses a new hole / ECU location different than the SVO, that is news to me.
I used an 87 mustang 2.3L n/a harness which used extensive re-wiring to work, so I can't comment for sure on...
I did a lot of research on this and there are a few trains of thought:
1) The stock setup for all around driving is better / safer than a poly-bushing setup. The problem is how the arms want to...
So here in Arizona they visually inspect for the EGR, so if I want to drive it on the road I need to keep it.
I want to go with a standalone ECU (favoring Speeduino), but they don't control the...
Yep that is what I used too. Many years later still going strong. I have recently had to put a clamp on the valve end though.
Does the ECU give any codes?
I'm planning to get a better turbo soon enough, so I simply connected the outlet / inlet and bypassed the turbo with a single hose.
So one chink in the armor. The good news is that I was finally able to get it aligned. The bad news is that I'm in 1.6 degrees of tow on the driver's side, and the tech says he can't get it any...
The front is back together, poly bushings, new Koni Red shocks, and a used swaybar.
A few points I learned:
- The little hacked together tools sold by Maximum Motorsports are quite possibly the...
I used an 87 injector harness, but I also used the engine harness from the same car at the same time. So I'm not 100% positive but I believe the main difference will be the main connector. I believe...
I have the front control arms with new ball joints. I tried a few machine shops, most wouldn't touch any suspension parts even if the modification had a tried and proven track record. One would...

It looks like from the EVTM that the red wire comes in at connector C150 at the ignition harness, then the individual (paired) grounds come...
I did talk to them about the P3ML, and the sales rep suggested disconnecting one of the uppers with or without a panhard bar (heh, he called it the "pan-hard" bar). And if you can't (because of the...

After replacing the rear shocks, it is more than half way better. So now I'm working the front suspension rebuild, the A arms are at the machine shop where he will try the SN95 ball joint...
Well, I seem to have found the rosetta stone. The information at the heart of why people hate the Mustang 4-link. A study done by the lead engineer (at one point) of Maximum Motorsports.

Congradulations!
I bought the , 45 degree coupling once, from the receipt it is a 3/8" inverted flare female (tube side). It doesn't mark the other side but I believe it is an 1/8 NPT male (elbow side). You can get...
So it isn't so bad. Let me count it up...
RCAGarage had the cheapest Koni's so I got all four corners (I'm just getting the Gabriels for the quad shocks). Alltogether for the shocks ... about...
So what priority would you put these...
1) (choose one of the following) a. Torque bar (which supports the rear axle on the front subrails) + Jack rails or b. Subframe connectors
2) (choose one...
Well, one good point, the shocks are really cheap right now at RCA Garage. Just $340 for the front pair. I haven't heard back from Rare Parts yet, nor have I shopped around for a machine shop to...
Thanks. No doubt money and time notwithstanding, the 3L would be the way to go. I like how Griggs packages the whole thing together, and they have a proven record. I have never heard anyone complain...
