Hey, was suggested I join up by martin0660... I got me an 85GT Mustang, that i've swapped a faster motor into... it is a 2.3T. Hoping for low 11's on mostly stock(ish) parts.

the car is a practically mint 85 GT T-Top, with an 8pt roll bar, welded frame connectors, 2.3T 5spd, the list goes on... should be fun!

THe best part now, is all the little things i need to finish putting it back together... it is starting to cost me a small fortune.

Welcome Steve!

We don't have enough 2.3 cars around, so I'm importing them from other countries :D

anyone can go "fast" in a V8... it takes skill to do it in a 4banger.

Best feeling in the world, is when you pass a guy who's got a tonne of money in his motor, and you've only just upped your boost.

My old tbrid was basically stock, and i went 13.6 @ 99.8... which was also my first time ever running at the track.

the stanger should be much faster :)

this was the first RUNNING of the car, i've since replace the TB and the starter, and it runs a LOT better... the starter gear wasn't disengaging...

oh, Bob only suggested me to sign up... my car is my own doing (and a few other friends too).

Eventually, when i get some more time, I am going to post my build on my website... posting it to 20 different forums is a pain in the buttocks.

as for boost... where i'm going... there wont be any need for a wastegate...

with the 3" FMIC and stuff, and a .63 T3, i am guessing it will max out in the low 20psi range. hoping for low 11's... we'll see how it goes in a few months if i can get it finished :)
