Title: what next with a couple of dollars
Post by: im gay as hell on April 01, 2005, 10:35:17 AM
ok i ve just installed  a cold air intake, polished intake manifold lower and upper manifold,70 mm throttle an spacer all polished.

what should i buy next the gears 4 the rearend. aluminum driveshaft,an induction hood, save up 4 some rims

just remember im a 17 year old kid with at least 200 dollars saved up . or should i fix my throttle problem

i have a problem with the throttle beacause a have digital gauges and its above the number 1 in the RPM and sometimes when i push the throttle cable back so it closes the throttle door and it calms down but once i acelerate it stays a litttle open. enought to almost hit the 2 in the rpm when its in neutral or park.

3.73 gears. Or exhaust if you don't have it.

Sounds like your throttle plate is sticking, clean it out and work it with some WD-40.

yea...fix whatever is wrong with the car before spending money on other stuff.
rear gears are probably the biggest bang for the buck with NOS being second. 200 dollars wont get you gears if you are buying them new. there is other stuff you need. i also assume you are going to pay someone else to install them being as its much more advanced than say, installing an intake. unless you buy a whole rear end. then you could be in buisness.

you should set up a cardomain page or at least post some pics guy...

On your throttle problem, check your TPS voltage and clean out your IAC.....

if they are for the rear end you have and you are going to have someone install them for you. also depends on shipping, and the final auction price.


also, whats with the 4 6x9s in the trunk?

for godsakes man, lose the chrome fender strips.

everyone here knows its not an edelbrock intake on there. its a knock off. (and yes i know the one in the pics is a stock intake)

aint no way you have anything even in the relm of 326 HP nor does your car even come close to 14s...sorry bro dont mean to bust your balls but you kind of beg for it.

You want to know what you can buy with the couple dollars?  A clue....

"Keeping up with Mustangs" doesn't impress me in the least either, but hey apparently at 17 you are easily impressed.  Besides I'm sure "rolling on 14's" the car handles for  anyway.  Bet you're running 10" brakes in the front too.  Filling the car w/ stereo  does not a modified car make...

And since my car is far from stock, I'll criticize since that seems to be the allowable criteria for even talking about your car.

Screw it...fix your throttle problem, buy gears, or stick the money up your ass....we really don't care....

well...headers back exhaust and an intake manifold...youll burn the shiznit out of all of us...when your car isnt even going to have the power of a stock HO...

ever notice that the people with the most questions, the least knowledge, and not much money think they will beat everything? youre not going to keep with a stang very easily, unless its a 4-banger, trust me

btw, i was just wondering about the 6x9s in the trunk. i didnt say i though it was "gay as hell", retarded, queer, and just plain silly. you are however the only person ive ever seen put the sound drivers in the trunk and the subs in the car..but whatever thats cool. maybe you are into spl or whatever. the install actually looks pretty good. certainly puts my stock door speakers and empty speaker holes with my pioneercd player to shame....

next up...

are you serious...with having basically the same mods you do PLUS the stick conversion aint no way yourburnin anything up. sorry pal. if you want to race..glad too. name the track and time.  id love to be able to say i smoked a 326 HP car with my mighty 155HP..

and...

that engine set up is from like 2 years ago
cmon man..seriously. with the questions you ask around here and the recent trouble you have been having (caused by yourself at that) i can only imagine what your engine combo is now. you cant even handle a simple intake swap without scewing it up but you have all these mods listed...whats up with that?

edit:
uppon further investigation... why is the only pic or "your" engine bay the only pic that cant be maximized(or made bigger by clicking)? could it be because its not your car. looks to me like its a mustang. in fact, id bet my left nut its a mustang. i could be wrong but i have never seen a tbird with a prop rod or hinges like the ones in the pic. there is mor evedance there but why bother...

well...i dont race anybody. im over that stuff now. im sure you are one of those guys who runs arounf saying how you smoked that kid in his cavalier or your friends moms grand am.

me putting a turbo coupe hood on my car (a very common mod done cause it looks better) is no different than you putting your ground fx on your car...wich by the way look awesom with the stock 14"ers and that phat chrome trim. i couldnt car less what anyone thinks about my car. in fact, i like a little constructive criticism... i would never get worked up about someones opinion about my car. apparently you cant handle that, my bad. i was just tryin to halp. you will find that people around here are very helpfull and patient. we also have a little fun with each other. well, thank you for taking the time to look at my cardomain..hope you voted...have a nice day.

you are correct, its a mustang, hood hinges and cowl are a dead giveaway, early birds had prop rods, but a different cowl design, and hinges

What a loser,posts the underhood of a stang as his own hahahahahahahahaha.
He's probably only got a 3.8l.
And since the flame war has already started i'll chime in,what the hell is with the subs in the back and the interior speakers in the trunk,maybe you have your steering wheel in your trunk or something,what a cone,i've been in installing car stereo's for over 12 years now and have a killer setup in my bird but never have i seen anyone put there subs inside the car and there interior speakers in the trunk.
Where'd you get that idea,from a crackerjack box?
And as for your 326hp SO engine,good luck with that,my currently stock HO(get that HO, not SO not that you know the differance) will eat your 16sec car for lunch and after i cross the line i'll look back just to see you finish secs later.
Try spending about 3000.00 in mod parts like i have and then if your lucky you might get 326hp at the flywheel.
You gotta love people that flame an entire board by saying that he'll eat us all for lunch,what a DUMBASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My '86 has a prop rod, but those hinges look different than mine.

And he didn't flame the entire board, just those of you who race. :p
Title: Re: what next with a couple of dollars
Post by: dominator on April 02, 2005, 12:10:49 PM
Lol alot of us race,most of the board id say.
As for the eng bay,it is definetly a stang,his bird is an 87-88 design and they never had a prop rod or that hinge design.
Title: Re: what next with a couple of dollars
Post by: Chuck W on April 02, 2005, 01:21:06 PM
I didn't catch the pic...but yeah that's an 87-93 Mustang plain as day.  The 83-86 Tbird's look nothing like that.  The cowl is a dead giveaway.

I can't believe he hasn't been banned yet.  Also, TC hoods "2 gay little scoops" actually served a purpose in 1987.  They fed cool air to this (prepare I'm going to use technical terms) intercooler that went inline with the turbo.

Guys, we all better watch out.  None of us have 4 6x9's in the trunk.  I only have two, myself, so I know my '84 TC couldn't touch him, either.  You guys running stock audio?  Hah, don't even bother.  The extra traction from the heavy-weight magnets on the speakers lets him pop wheelies due to the decreased weight from the port-polish up front, too.  One time he popped a wheelie behind a mustang and drove over top of it.

As for the money issue... you've had to wait to "save up" $200 yet you've done all this work to the car to get you "caught up with mustangs"?  $200 should be peanuts to you, big timer.  Yep, you must roll real fvcking hard. 

Ban this pen 15smoker.
