Link fail, asking for login.

Anyway, don't feel to bad. I took a turbo coupe and put a 5.0 in it. But it wasn't a running vehicle so I guess that makes it okay.

Mustang guys just wont ever get it. Flip though your catalogs of aftermarket support, picking and choosing whatever it is you need. We'll just keep fighting to find parts, searching everywhere we can, and trying to keep them out of the hands of destruction.

Why didnt you get a Cobra or SVO? Guess you wouldnt want to destroy one of them.

You have to understand where we are coming from. You are taking another one of our cars and ending its life. You might have noticed, there arent as many floating around as Mustangs. So what will become of the car? S metal?

When I said give me the roller I meant $0. It was a joke.

this thread me off as well, but I cant help myself from posting. Mainly because several guys offered you a complete set-up for the same money as you just wasted on a whole car, that you will have a hard time unloading now that it has no running gear. The main people that would want to buy it are on here and i doubt you'd get $50 for it now. Oh the irony. And now I see that you bought the wrong year and need a computer which is gonna cost ya even more. Good job. I think I will go over to the Merkur site and tell them I need an engine for my T-bird and I am going to rip my XR apart and then sell someone the roller for the same amount i paid for it. Wonder how long that would last before I got banned. It is called trolling and it is disrespectful to all the guys/gals who like these cars and spend their hard earned time/money on them.

cobra or svo a few things to help you learn cobras just as rare as a TC but $9000 more expensive svo's even more rare and $4500 more expensive.

aparantly you have never owned a 2.3 mustang before because there are no upgrades for it three things i can do to make it faster ranger header, cam, and a cold air intake. that gives me about 115hp not worth the money also you guys were offering me a motor for like $300 i bought the whole car for 400 so are you going to sell me the ecu tranny large vam and all the other stuff i need for $100 i dont think so and i wont be able to get my money back off of the resale which i have someone who wants to buy it now for $400 as a roller and put a 357 in it.

I have seen a 2.3 mustang that would run with the 5.0's its all in how you build them. and as far as the engine goes I offered you a FREE 2.3t and you didnt take it.

What I'm about to type is completely off-topic, but oh well, half the posts here are too.

You bought a TC, an '86, which is the wrong year to do you much good at all, and then you come here with a chip on your shoulder about it when challeneged?
...what do you expect? For us to to slap you on the back and say "good job'?
Ha...not.

So you were basically looking for an '87 TC, but you went and bought an '86 instead?
Sounds like you are both un-informed AND unwise.
Why don't you go to a j-y and get the parts off of a totalled out TC, instead of buying one that still has some life left in it...

Oh, one more thing
Go away troll. :flame:

Personally, you picked the wrong web forum. I hang out alot over on Turboford.net, and that's probably where you should have started. They tend to be alot more receptive to what you're doing. But I'll warn you now, USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION, or we'll be even more unkind to you over there.
Going and buying an 86 when you really needed an 87/88 just shows your lack of ability or motivation to do your research. Your now looking at laying out several hundred more to get the job done correctly. Yes, you can use the small VAM, and small injectors, buy why would you want to when you could've done it right in the first place? Being on a tight budget, you should've waited for a more suitable donor.
Also, if you really have someone who's willing to give you $400 for what you call a rusted roller, either they don't know what they're looking at, or that car is a whole lot more solid then you're saying. Which is it?
This is simply not the place to troll for a TC to tear up. If you wan't to fix up and drive a TC, this and Turbotbird.com are the places to be. Otherwise, stick to Stangnet, Turboford, or the corral.
