89 Mustang 5.0 LX vert.

[Ryan218]

so a project thread is in order for my new toy.
wont be that big of a project to start but in the end. im sure it will be. started talking with my dad and he suggested 5 lugging it and 5 speed swap this winter/spring :lol: so. looks like 5 lugging it is first on the to do list this winter.

but for now i picked up my other set of tires from storage. set of turbines with road race tires on the. ill be mounting the other tires on them from the wheels that are on the car.

so a few starter pics.

Ryan i hate to say it, but thats a step up from the 88. I know you worked your ass off on it but the 89 is a damn good car for what you paid for it. Already has mass air too! Just think what you can do with this car with the same time and effort you spent on the 88! Good Luck, Good find!

[Ryan218]

thanks bro. it is!

ok so i got a little sidetracked today from this chick so i didnt get much done. so more for tomm!

cleaned and waxed.. :shrug:

[Ryan218]

well i need to track down some new lower controlling arm bolts. went to napa..nothing..ford. guy didnt even know what i was talking about with "lower controlling arm hardware" dumb people..lol.

any idea where i can look? i was thinking hardware store. on the bolt it says 10.9..but these are metric? so as long as i get a 8 up grade bolt then i would be fine right?

so in mean time i cleaned it up some...

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t302/88Mustang302/5lugswap059.jpg

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t302/88Mustang302/5lugswap060.jpg

added the fulid/friction modifer and got the diff cover on. now if i could find my 11MM open end wrench i would put the brake lines on the new rear end but it missing in action at the moment.

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t302/88Mustang302/5lugswap061.jpg

[k062693w]

Yep!!! Go to the local hardware and get grade 8's !!
Half of the bolts I used came from the Ace over in Urbana...
Now get off the computer and get to work !!! LOL

[Ryan218]

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t302/88Mustang302/5lugswap068.jpg

i need new brake lines. and the 2 to 1 for the brake lines. so if anyone has one please pm me.

im really moving at asnails pace here becasue i keep breaking shit lol.

[DeckerEnt]

Someone on here had a slick braided set up on his rear. Can't remember where or who. Seems like it would take a few fittings and a T and you would be set. Just a thought.

[Stangman]

the Distribution block on the rearend can be bought from just about any parts store.

It's called the rear brake hose. It will be the whole assembly, I just got one from KOI auto parts.

[5.0calypso93lx]

Wow you need some bigger tires! :lol: I've got the MM stainless, braided brake lines all around. It's a really nice setup, you should check em' out.

[Ryan218]

lol i know. needs tires..( you can see the cords fully ) there 205/40/18's..and the 295's..no way there fitting out back haah

[Ryan218]

one thing after another. get the drivers side breaks on and put the wheel on. get to last lug crank it dont and i knew i ****ed up and grabed a bad lug. (stripped) and of course. ****ing stiped the stud! lug wont come off. i put a huge damn nick in the paint because i was frustrated and now im just pissed. time to call it a night.

any tips how to get it off? i put pressure behide it but it dose nothing :fuss:

[DeckerEnt]

If you know you have to replace the stud and all, put a breaker bar on it and heave. Try to break the lug nut off. If it doesn't break off, it may break loose. Then it is just getting a new stud for it.
Keith

[DeckerEnt]

I found out where I saw that braided rear brake line set up. Our very own Twisted Twins!! If you make it to Cincy Speed, ask Craig to show you. It looks to be an easy set up.
Keith

[Ryan218]

all done. i cant leave the drive way with it yet. *cries i wanna drive it so bad* gotta bleed the brakes. still air in the. peddle gose to the floor lol. thats no good. love the way it looks. going to mount the wheels tomm around 3:30 on the other two wheels then she'll be on the ground. after i bleed the brakes some more.

[mustangboy]

[Ryan218]

They probably just need adjusted.

yeah i think so. there not really expanding all that much at all. i found where i must of smashed the nre brake line going to the driver side. so im going to bend a new one tomm flare it and get it on there then bleed them.

[R825OH]

Thosee wheels look great on there! Your gonna like that new gear too

[leroy93lx]

Coming right along Ryan! Good Job. Looks Great. Didnt you already have some lowering springs? PUT THEM IN!!!

[Ryan218]

[k062693w]

i had 6 sets of wheels. im down to just 2 sets now. well 2 1/2 1 set will be gone friday.

Did you modify the center cap to fit? You using the dust cap on the rotors??
Looks sweet.

[R825OH]

That car looks fantastic Ryan

[Ryan218]

Did you modify the center cap to fit? You using the dust cap on the rotors??
Looks sweet.


yes. no dust caps. i could step up to a 1/2 inch spacer it it would clear without modifying the center caps. but with the 1/2 inch spacers they rubbed with the wheels turned just slightly. so i stayed with 1/4 spacers and modified the center caps to clear.

thanks R825OH im looking forward to the next cruise in with you all! :rockon:

[Ryan218]

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t302/88Mustang302/5lugswap106.jpg

[graysonracin]

Are you only using spacers on the front wheels?

[Ryan218]

Are you only using spacers on the front wheels?

yeah. id like to get some for the rear. to bring them flush with each other.

[graysonracin]

They look good i forgot to ask you about spacers when i pmd ya. I thought i may have to use some.

[Ryan218]

nope. just the fronts needed the,. if you have any questions about the center caps ect. just let me know.

sportlines

[Stangman]

Sportlines will be sweet on there. You STOLE that car. Have you got camber plates yet? You will need them!

[Ryan218]

nope. havent yet. just plan on getting the rears in for now seeing how it sits.

[MrsAPE]

looking good Ryan!!

[Ryan218]

thanks! haven't done the springs yet, put some 6*9's in it to replace the blow speakers. and a new CD player with one that the Cd player actually works.

[MrsAPE]

and a new CD player with one that the Cd player actually works.

what a great idea!! :lol:

[Ryan218]

i got no reception for half the drive to the cruise in, it was horrid. ha ha..i fully expect to see your sons mustang at a cruise in soon!

[MrsAPE]

i got no reception for half the drive to the cruise in, it was horrid. ha ha..i fully expect to see your sons mustang at a cruise in soon!

Now this is the hard part. He wants his there for the Spring Cruise. I want my car done by the Spring Cruise. I can't drive 2 cars at once. Everyone has seen hubby's car..he's not doing anything different to it..we may make him leave his at home. Course if mine's not done by Spring Cruise his cobra becomes mine for the season!! How's that for motivation?! :lol:

got the speedo gear.

[Ryan218]

so still havent installed the springs. im sick and its just to damn cold right now. unless i take it out to my buddies shop its not getting done till spring. and i really dont want to drive it now that they have started salting. so im thinking it will be till spring till it gets done again.

[MrsAPE]

Sounds like a smart move. But somehow, I think you'll do something to it before Spring!!

[Ryan218]

yeah. hopefully headlights....and m.a.y.b.e a whistle under the hood =]

[WYLDFANTASYX]

Awesome convertible, makes me miss mine:(


I really like those wheels on that thing, keep up the good work!

[Ryan218]

thanks man. the red one in the sig was your vert right? if so i watched all your vids that car moved man.

[Ryan218]

still got to do the front. did the rears really quick in 45 mins. then it started cooling off and got sidetracked yet again. :(

[mustang3091]

Hey Ryan i have a buddy that can put you a nice exhaust on your cam

[Foxxx5oh]

great progress Ryan, that has got the be the cleanest fox ive ever seen...

[R825OH]

Wow Ryan!! I thought it was clean before!! It is really clean now, one of those Targa bar-roll bars would look good when the top is down IMO

[1badFn5.0]

looks really good man

[Ryan218]

Wow Ryan!! I thought it was clean before!! It is really clean now, one of those Targa bar-roll bars would look good when the top is down IMO

yeah i want one. just not the 500 dollar price tag lol

def not the cleaniest cars but i love it. :D

[Ryan218]

got rid of the stock cat back in favor of some flowmaster. sounds good imo. but quiter then i was expecting. ill post a video tomm.

[graysonracin]

lookin good man, it may get alittle louder after the exhaust gets broken in.

[Ryan218]

lookin good man, it may get alittle louder after the exhaust gets broken in.

already broken in. the ONLY thing i have bought new for this car is the Catless X pipe since its the only thing i couldnt find for sale lol.

there 2 chambers flowmaster off a Mach 1. i paid 30 bucks for them and they already had flow tubes and turn downs welded on. i think there the detal series and not the the orginal 40's. either way im happy with it becasue i was expecting it to be ALOT louder but im happy with it. after some tail pipes are on it it will be a little quiter but even more so deep i believe but im not worrying about them till i find some 2 1/2 inch tail pipes for it.

[1badFn5.0]

you like that x pipe sound ive yet to own a car with one , i plan to get one for my next one tho

[Ryan218]

you like that x pipe sound ive yet to own a car with one , i plan to get one for my next one tho

yeah.. love it. ive had a pro chamber and a h pipe. my fav is def the x pipe, then pro chamber, then H pipe.

the x with these flows really is not raspy at all. very deep. tame at idel but opens up when revved.

[Ryan218]

i just scored sn95 front brakes. everything i need for DIRT cheap from a 9,xxx miles 95 GT that was rolled.

[ibstrokin]

Looking Good.

[Ryan218]

Hey ryan when you lowered the front. After you got the springs out and was putting the springs back in did you use a spring compresser?

[Ryan218]

Hey ryan when you lowered the front. After you got the springs out and was putting the springs back in did you use a spring compresser?

nope. droped the a-arm all the way down and with a pri bar stood off the the side and poped them out. juiced347 helped me do them.

[Aweasel]

nope. droped the a-arm all the way down and with a pri bar stood off the the side and poped them out. juiced347 helped me do them.

I've done springs this way...however the only thing i did different was chain the bottom of the spring to the a-arm...just a little security :bigthumb

nice car, quite an improvement I'd say.

[Ryan218]

thanks man :bigtumb

[Ryan218]

you. lol. just sent you a PM on CR. let me know.

[Gearhead559]

lol i see.

[Marker1989]

Nice score on the intake. I know it'll look clean when its on. I do however notice that it doesnt have the EGR hole, so since you wont have functioning egr you might as well just take all the crap outa the engine bay to make it look a little cleaner.. thats what I did. Idk if you still have the smog pump crap but Im sure you dont need that either lol.

thats the plan, going to leave the smog pump there until i buy a smog delete pulley. or. i could just run a short belt. 88.5" if im remember correctly.

[5.0calypso93lx]

thats the plan, going to leave the smog pump there until i buy a smog delete pulley. or. i could just run a short belt. 88.5" if im remember correctly.

I never did understand why people ran smog pump delete pulleys? The whole point is to remove weight and drag off the drive line belt, so why put another pulley back on there(even though it is just a free moving pulley). I would just run a shorter belt and don't put anything back on there to replace the smog pump. Much cleaner looking IMO with it all the way gone and nothing there at all.

[Marker1989]

Exactly.. no need for the pulley. I have a site saved that shows all the belt configurations. Ill post it up for you when I get back from class.

[Marker1989]

http://www.cjponyparts.com/NewTech50Belts.aspx

Theres the belt routes for ya, you'll also need the plugs for the back of the heads. Other than that it should just all be taking crap outa the car.

[Ryan218]

went back and got a Explorer TB today. pulled my mark VII fan out. intake is at my buddies dads shop being sand blasted. and his dad wants to try his new powder coating system out on it so what the hell. we will see how it turns out. may just hold off on porting it till i get a set of heads and have them both done at once.

[gouldstang]

When you looking at buying heads? I have some very nice GT40P heads that were ported and worked by Mike Bell at Dayton 5.0. Brand new, bigger valves, stronger valve springs. Never even been bolted on since all the work was done. The bill was over $1100, but that was also with Mike port matching the explorer manifold.

[juiced347]

what springs did you go with?

[Ryan218]

ford motorsports lowering spings.

[Ryan218]

ive been thinking about doing something like this since my first fox. ( the 83 ) but never really put much thought towards it. then i saw it done a few days ago so i went to the junkyard got me a center console section with the cup holders from a new model Exploder. ( it was fubberd in the front end )
anyways. the back is all bondo in. waiting for that to set up then ill put some bondo on the top side. then it will be time to go to work. ( in about 15 mins for me ) then when back from work another, some sanding and then a new pic. anyway. teaser pic.

also im doing something different with the cigarette lighter

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t302/88Mustang302/cupholdermod.jpg

[Ryan218]

its ruff right now. i want to work it a little more and shape it some more.

[92coupe]

That's a good idea i like it!

[pmneed1]

Mn I love the center console. What a great idea.

You should make those and sell them on ebay...you may make a small fortune.

[92coupe]

Ryan it looks like it should be smoke grey 87-89. 50RESTO.COM carries it.

[Ryan218]

is smoke grey a sort of rare color of the grays? becasue if not then im swaping out for black. if it is ill keep it.

[Ryan218]

welp i tried this dye and its close and will do for now. ( trim around shifter had a switch hole in it from smoemthing so bondoed it and primed painted. its close. ) set the console in place cuz i wanted to see it lol. would of been done like 2 days ago but im being anal about it and want it to look factory so im taking my time.

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t302/88Mustang302/0309092144.jpg

[blk93notch]

wow that looks great! you should get ahold of a company that could produce those. you could cash in big time with just the concept. looks amazing and factory.

[1992MustangDW]

why not just try. or start selling to people on here.

Wow ryan, that looks great!

[R825OH]

That is factory looking Ryan,nice job!

[DeckerEnt]

That looks awesome. What kind of time do you have invested in it? I know it is your first one but when you figure everything out, how long would it take to make one? Figure that out and figure your costs and come up with a price. You could make a killing selling them!

lets just say like costed me about 30 bucks to do it.

[Ryan218]

this is where it sits right now. just got to put the thermostat in, re locate the ACT sensor and extend the wires, put the distributer back in and do the firing order..and i think thats it :scratch: and im going to put my new exhaust tips on it. ( looks to plain to me with them dumped. sounds good though!!)
also not sure how i feel about the a/c compressor black. so i think im going to get some silver and do all the accessories in silver. also just did a quick few coats on valve covers to last for the summer then this winter when i tear down to do a F cam and gt40 heads ill pick up some "finned" powerd by ford or something like that for it. also the red vacum caps. its what i had laying around for right now. ill get black ones later on. ( it will be my first drive to the parts store with it :D SOON!)

cell phone pics so everything looks ****ty.

have better pics but there on a buddies cam.

I like the AC in black, you should do the brackets in black to....just my 2 cents.

[Ryan218]

i think it may just be to much black at that point though.

[Ryan218]

yet again go to work on it and called into work in the am. now i have 4-5 off then back 5-10. all i did was dropped the dis into place before i got called in. but i went and got a few more things. looking back i sould of just went and bought an F cam and double roller timing chain and done it as well at same time. oh well ill get to have a base line before i install the cam as dyon time for me is a month away. oh and i made my dad go a register my car today :D

[MrsAPE]

i like it!!

[DeckerEnt]

If you leave the a/c black, then the alternater bracket needs to be lack too. It would only be too much black if there were some things that aren't. Get new black vaccum plugs too. Looking good. Keep it up!!

[Ryan218]

im thinking silver with all the acc. then basically everything else black. i wanna drive it. insurance is only thing left now. was registered today. :D

[Ryan218]

welp its all back together been trying to find a timming pointer for the past 6 hours. finaaly found one going to get it sometime after 7. tried firing it. cranks but no fire. smells like stright gas, timming is majorly off. get that taken care of tonight. till then. pissed off FTL

[Stangman]

take out the number 1 plug on the drivers side and stick a screw driver in there, turn the motor over with a breaker bar until you get it to TDC, Point your ignition rotor button toward the back of the motor by removing the Dist. and adjusting it. throw it together and see if it fires, if not it's 180 out. repeat process. :bigthumb

Until you find a pointer atleast :D

[Ryan218]

yeah thats how im going to do it but either way i need a timming pointer. i think thats why i spit the pushrod way back when. becasue the timming was horrible off.

[Ryan218]

timming is set. it runs. but i think i got vacum leaks, but i know the plugs are fouled so going to replace them tomm and then go from there and trace down vacum leaks.

thanks man :D


Why aren't you going to drive it?

in the process of switching the insurance on both mustang to hagerty. 86 would be full coverage at 244 a year and 3,000 mile limit a year and insured for 10,000 if anything ever happens to it.
89 would be like 244 a year as well for 3,000 miles and insured for 10,000 if anything ever happened to it as well.

since the cut off is 1986 an underwriter or something like that has to"approve" my car as being ok to go through them and thats what were waiting. on. my dad submitted the paper work today

oh and also. it will be cammed soon. :D but im thinking im going to hold off till after the cruise in to do that so that its still able to be driven to there lol. plus i want to drive it some with the gears, upper and lower, full exhaust and all the other little crap ive done first, then see how the cam makes it feel.


Can't wait to see it!!

i cant wait to drive it! :)

[DeckerEnt]

That will be some inexpensive insurance. Hope it all works out. See you at the cruise in!!

[Ryan218]

^ hopefully.

[Ryan218]

welp mustang is back on insurance. i wanna drive it. but its april 3rd so im probably going to wait till tomm. april 3rd isnt a good day for me and mustangs. 1 year mark of the 88 being totaled.

[DeckerEnt]

Good choice. It is wet and nasty outside anyway. Tomorrow is supposed to be better.

[Mustard]

[Ryan218]

[DeckerEnt]

Glad it wasn't anything big. Enjoy it Ryan. You deserve it.

[R825OH]

COOL glad it wasn't bad either. Did your springs settle at all?

[MrsAPE]

Yayness!! I so can't wait to drive mine.

[Ryan218]

COOL glad it wasn't bad either. Did your springs settle at all?

sure did. settled a inch or so in the rear.ill get some pics tomm of it.

[Ryan218]

ok so a brief little blog. lol.

i love this car =] forgot how much i missed it. its running great. one bad thing is. god damn does it have some wheel hop now! i figure probably because of lack there of quad shocks. with it being lowered how it is it rides surprisingly smooth. stiff but not by any means like rattle your bones stiff. it stays planted if its put through a corner.( although the wheels rub really bad when turned =[ ) and the cup holders. there great lol. i have a place to sit my phone now when its charging instead of flying across the seat! and also i can out a drink there now without it doing the same thing!

i picked up another center console so I'm going to get some cup holders again and make another one.

[MrsAPE]

The cup holder console is really cool and I am really jealous on that one.

[DeckerEnt]

Congrats Ryan!! Happy you are enjoying it. Just like any project, you will have a few things that bug you about it, then you will fix them and find more, then fix them, etc etc. That is the thing about a project, it is never done.
