Projects / Pod's mustang plan
« on: December 05, 2011, 11:18:55 pm »
Not sure how much I should be giving away in advance....

I've managed to run a 13.9 now, still with stock heads, cam and intake and street tyres.

Next up are two small jobs (hopefully!).
Replace the clutch fan with an electric one - just need a fan.
Convert to mass air from speed density. Need a couple of bits of pipe and an ECU.

There are other larger plans ahead, but at least some of those require money I haven't got at the moment. Plus there's some maintenance work required too.

General Banter / Dyno result
« on: August 21, 2011, 01:53:46 pm »
I went to TCS Performance in Bishops Stortford last week and did a couple of power runs on their dyno.

Factory rating for my mustang is 225 hp and 300 ft/lb. Seeing as it's still got stock heads cam and intake, I was expecting somewhere around 220-250 hp.

It actually turned out to be 309 hp and 365 ft/lb
I'm a well chuffed with that and really surprised!

The only down side is that as it has more power than I thought, it means I'm worse at driving it than I thought.

This car is awesome. I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be running, but it does*.

Only 1**,*** miles

Small oil leak. (About a quart a week)

Salvaged only a couple of times.

It looks like the front bumper was painted by a paint brush, but it's not really noticeable from >45 ft.

Small dent on rear left side. Kind of broken tail light.

Small dent on rear right side. Tail light is fine though.

Front left blinker sometimes falls out.

Something hangs down from the front bumper, I'll try to cut it off soon.

Makes a weird noise when making right turns really fast and (I think the same cause) maks little gashes on the rear left tire. I'm frankly surprised it hasn't popped yet.

3rd gear grinds.

5th gear pops out.

Sometimes makes a really loud strange noise when starting up, but turning it off real quick and going "What the **** was that?!" usually fixes the problem.

Was previously owned by a gay dude.

There was this strange box underneath the seat that I took out. I hope it wasn't important.

Back trunk is a ***** to pop open.

I took out the tire and jack from the front trunk and haven't been able to put it back in the right way, so good luck with that

For a while the throttle would get stuck at like 4,000 RPM, but when I crashed into a pedestrian sign it somehow fixed it.


But other than that, there are good things too:

This car is sweet. You'll totally pick up the chicks and be able to beat any car in a street race.**

I discovered that in 5th gear, a medium mcdonalds cup fits perfectly in between the linkage. Which also helps prevent the gear from popping out.

I recently cut out the speakers and radio so there are open and exposed wires hanging, waiting for you to simpy install a new system.

The heater works. Really well, actually. It won't turn off.

I'm asking $750 and my price is firm. No low ballers or scammers. Seriously. I'll try to get some pictures up some day. Like today! http://s150.photobucket.com/albums/s119/StealthZero/



*Small Disclaimer:
If it so happens that this car is run on my will power alone and you don't have enough will power to run it, I will not be held responsible.

**Smaller Disclaimer:
Not that I condone street racing or anything, I'm just saying that hypothetically, this car is definitely the fastest car you'll ever drive, ever.

EDIT: It now has a dead battery and 2 flats. New price...500 bucks. (Will take interesting trades)

« on: December 30, 2009, 02:42:20 pm »
Never really made any before, but mine this year is definitely to keep in contact with friends and family much more (or at all!).

Should be made easier by finally having internet at home for the first time since about September!

General Banter / ebay listers and international shipping rant
« on: August 20, 2008, 01:55:56 pm »


Just spent ages looking for a part from someone who can ship overseas.
The advert clearly says that international shipping is available and to ask for a quote before buying.
I emailed them asking for a quote and they reply saying they can't ship steering racks out of the country!
Make your damn mind up!!!

General Banter / Paint and clear coat question
« on: May 05, 2008, 08:02:06 pm »
I'm using spray cans for painting and clear coat.

The clear coat can says to sand the colour paint to get rid of the shine before putting the clear on.

What do you do for the bits you can't reach? (almost all of it, in this case)
Just clear over the paint anyway as it is?

Computers and Games / Gran Turismo + Top Gear
« on: October 24, 2007, 04:53:41 pm »
Yep, GT5 for the PS3 will include the Top Gear test track to hoon around on.

The major downside is the cost of buying the PS3 and GT5.
