My names Seth, I have a 2.3L 79 Mustang
I am currently having a quest for 200hp to the crank with no turbo so wish me good luck. Check out my videos and rate my car!
Update 7/19/07
Tommorow I plan on sanding a part of those light covers so they will fit my car. But anyways I took some pics of them temporarly taped to my car to see what they will look like.
UPDATE 7/20/07
Well I made a side exhuast exit on my car. It saves me about 25lbs and makes a more agressive sound cause the glasspack is bloted up closer to the motor. Anyway, here are some pictures
I cut the flange off the tubing that bolted up to my down tube and it fit perfectly into my glasspack and then I clamped it down
after I clamped down that I simply just bolted it up to my downpipe
after that I put a curve on the end of the glasspack and made it stick out of the side. Right now it looks really tacky but when i get a lil more money I am buying a cheap chrome exhaust tip and cutting off about 5" off of the tube that sticks out now and then it will look mare cleaner then it is now.
UPDATE 7/28/07
Well, I havent done jack shit to my car lately so I guess I am pretty lazy. I still havent got around to sanding down those light covers yet *hits self in the head*.
But I just thought I needed to update ;-)
UPDATE 8/2/07
Ok, ive been bartering around on mustangforums.com tryin to get some new/used parts for my car for the last few days. So far I might be getting a set of gauges from a 86 GT mustang (I will have to swap the speedo out with mine so it works properly) or i might get an after market tach, Im hoping to get the set of gauges. And today I just made a deal with someone and I am buying a tubular header from a ranger for my car. It is less restivtive, lighter, better exhaust sound, and will give me some more hp (YAY) Thanks mopman93 from the forums. I am buying it for $30 and I dont wanna pass it up. I am getting the set of gauges for free and am paying the shipping (thanks sleeper_inc from the forums) but if I cant get those, I will just be gettin an after market tach. But thats an update and will put a new one up when I get the header on or if something else is done. Oh and I still havent got around to sanding those light covers down, lol
UPDATE: 8/10/07
I got the header and right after I got home I was fixing it up. I took the vent off by drilling out the rivets, ported the inlets and then polished them, I cut off the part that goes to a metal tube cause I dont need it, and when I got it, the outlet had a rusted bolt that was impossible to get off so I cut off one end and then drilled it out, but the only thing I have to do is get one hole capped and welded (I would do exept I dont have a welder) and then find a bolt to go in the o2 bung. And then I have to take my A/C off cause one of the bolts is behind it (I am keeping the A/C off) and then I can swap the exhaust manifold for the header. The only thing I am worried about is my original down tube will not line up exactly with it, so I may have to cut a part off and make a flange on the end of the new cut and then hook it up to the new header. I will have exhaust videos after I am done and plan on making a video of open header so everyone can see what a open header 2.3L NA mustang can sound like. Wish me luck, and sign my guestbook to tell me how I am doing and how I can improve performance. Thanks to all the people who view my profile!!
UPDATE: 8/19/07
Ive done alot, and its mostly been on the header... I painted it, got it capped, welded, etc etc. I have a open header video too for people who like the 2.3s....
check out the pics!
oh yeah... I painted my timing cover too
downtube...
motor..
UPDATE: 8/22/07
I got a aftermarket tach in my car now. My stock tach... the needle motor burned up. Its pretty fuggin badass check it out...
a-pillar... thats where its mounted.
UPDATE: 09/23/07
Wow... I havent had an update in like a month!! Lots of different changes and lots of different plans... I decided to do a 2.3L EFI turbo swap.... im sick of the carb!! I want power! And i picked up a garret T3 like a week ago from some tweaker for $40.... its a little turbo and I am not using it, I am just gonna hold on to it or maybe sell it. But the changes in my car.... I ripped out the carpet and fiber pad and replaced it with marine carpet to make it lighter... no fiber pad!! I also removed the rear seats, So my car is now alot lighter and is a bit quicker now too.... But thats pretty much it for now... I will get pics as soon as I can

To the ricer fag, get a damn life. I have less money in my 2.3 stang than you do in your body kit and it will smoke your ass, so go find your ricer pals and lay off the newbie.
