Wow, 3 years between updates. Very little has happened in the last 3 years, except the engine is blown. As in up. D-E-D dead. That's all.
Well, after a long delay between updates to the escort, here she is...well, not the escort, its replacement. This is my 1998 Chrome Yellow Ford Mustang Cobra Coupe. It had 63,000 miles on it when I bought it, and came with a Pro5.0 shifter, some tacky shift knob which was promptly replaced, X pipe exhaust (behind the factory cats) with straight 2.5" pipes (no mufflers), and 3.73:1 gearing. That's it. 2 months after I purchased it, the the throwout bearing went south, so I replaced that with a new Luk HD clutch, Steeda clutch quadrant, cable and firewall adjuster, and shift knob. It also has 4 brand new tires, BFG Traction T/A 245/45ZR-17 front, BFG g-Force T/A KDWS 275/40-17 rear. Here are some Pictures, starting with one of the Mustang and the Escort side by side.
and here is the Mustangs first trip to the track, with my buddies 67? mustang in the middle, and our friends 96 cobra (white) on the left.
A familiar view for many people now, and my favorite view
The Inside of the car
and the motivation
I am hoping that one day this will be a completely different animal, would like to swap to a 31 spline rear with 4.10s and a T-56, full Steeda suspension with coilovers front, Tubular front end, oh, and an HP Performance Twin Turbo setup. Wish me luck!
