1986 Mustang GT

I've had this car since July of 2003.

March 2009: I installed a Northern aluminum radiator and a Taurus electric fan.  I took plently of photos, especially of the custom brackets I made for the radiator and the overflow tank.  Not only was I not going to spend money on those aftermarket radiator brackets, it was fairly easy to make.  Plus, I had that sheet of aluminum laying around.  I also uploaded a little video of it running shortly after I completed the installation.

September 2008:  I got to the track that weekend.  It was two years since the last run.  It ran a 12.5s @ 112.  I was cutting 1.9 60 fts with street tires.  Here's some videos!

 


 

August 2008: I've done a lot over this past winter. I gave the car an extra lug for each wheel by doing a five lug conversion from SN95 Parts. For the fronts I used 2000 spindles and brakes (Dual PBRs), and the rear used the SN95 discs. I also had to get new wheels obviously. I went wit the same style of wheel, 03 Cobras, except got AFS's version with black cutouts with a machined face. I'm running 17x8 in the front with 245/45/17s and 17x9 in the rear with 275/40/17. I also got some KYB AGX's for the front since I needed the skinnier newer style strut.

Here's the new pictures, folks!
