My new 91gt

[INSANEBA]

As some of you may already know, I decided to sell my 93 notchback project, for a running driving stang. I just dont have the time or money to finish it right now, and my girlfriend got hooked on drag racing 3 weeks ago in my cousins 92 gt. So I figured what the hell, lets get me a new dd, and her a new drag car. Well it's not much, but has a few nice mods. Full length headers, 2 1/2 pipes, h pipe, flowmasters with dumps, 4:10 gears, 5 speed with shifter, smoked lx tails, lowered, nice stereo etc. This is what it is right now, keep posted for updates over the next year, as cash permits ;-)

I think I did good, only traded my roller for this complete car. I got to keep everything I was going to put in the notch, heads cam etc. Whatcha think, did I do ok guys?

[4point6gt]

looks good man, i had a gt that looked just like that about a year ago.

[1992MustangDW]

Car looks great, Good Trade

[cobra429boss]

nice.......

[bbfstanger]

nothing like buying one already running lol!
makes it easier to modify a little at a time so it doesnt become a yard ornament.
id say you did good.

[INSANEBA]

Thanks John, I needed a driver and my gal needed a race car asap lol. Plus always fun throwin parts at it. I'm gonna do what you and I discussed, what you did with yours... Wish me luck!

[INSANEBA]

Well I got under it today to put dumps on the flowmasters, and noticed it already has the frames tied, and the lower and upper arms boxed with poly bushings! So, I guess I'm gonna throw a top end/cam on it and look for a cheap dry kit to help it out a lil bit more!!!

[INSANEBA]

Well I couldnt get the balancer off last week, damn janky puller! So I pulled the upper off, swapped the 19lb. injectors out for a set of 24 lb. injectors. Put in my c&l mass air meter, a big ass K&N filter, a lincoln electric fan, and swapped the a9p ecu out for an a9l with a hypertech piggyback. Made a world of difference, went from having to pop the clutch to just hammering it to fry tires. Yesterday I did the 3g swap, the lincoln fan drained the old girl too much. I bought a 3g ffrom a local junk yard for $35 with exchange, and took about an hour to do. WELL WORTH IT!!!This coming week, I'm gonna swap the stock cam out for that TFS STG1 cam, swap the stock intake for a GT-40 set-up, and throwing a 65mm throttle body and spacer on. If my luck runs right, it'll get the 4:10 gears in this sunday, hopefully... Gonna try to get it around for the fall cruise in!!!

[bbfstanger]

atleast your making some progress,see ya at the cruise hopefully.

[INSANEBA]

Yes I am lol, biggest problem is leaving it set long enought o do something to it lol. I talked to Aaron the other night, he said he couldnt make it, said he was goin to see his dad. I was hoping to see a familiar face there. You driving your notch? Maybe we can meet up and cruise in together...:D

[INSANEBA]

Well after 8 hours, 7 jack n cokes, 6 beers and a pack of camels, my buddy and I swapped the cam and intakes out lastnight. We did alot of cleaning and painting while we were in there too. She looks sooo much better, and man does that thing lope now! This is what a stang should sound like! I'm gonna top it off with good gas today and go cruisin after I clean the mess in the garage lol, didnt finish til 4:30am...

[INSANEBA]

Well I finally got my skinnies and chubbies on today! I ended up trading for a set of centerline warriors from 1slo92. Very cool guy, and fun to b/s with. I'll get pics up in the next few days, gotta get it cleaned up and some tires on them but it drives for now.. Next step is gears, hoping this weekend...

[1_slo_92]

are the fronts rubbing? lol Cant wait to see what they look like cleaned up and on that gt. I finally got the rears put on mine today. Havent had a whole lot of time or willingness to get them on. I'll take some pics when i get all 4 on the coupe!!

[INSANEBA]

Yea the fronts rubbed pretty bad lol, but I scored a smaller set of tires. They are a lil too small, but I plan on putting new skins on real soon. I'll post pics tomorow, and cant wait to see the coupe!!! Thanks again bud, you ROCK!!!

[1_slo_92]

My pleasure. I might try to get with you on that starter here soon. Maybe we can meetup sometime in the middle for something to eat and a few drinks (make sure we bring our lady friends for dd's LoL)

[INSANEBA]

For sure! Dayton has a nice lil Hooters lol, umm, killer food too!:bigthumb

[INSANEBA]

Here she is with the new bling! It's amazing just how much lighter the front wheels are over stock. Hell, the rears are soo much lighter too lol... These pics are before I even scrubbed them, and the tires are still a lil durty too. Tell me whatcha think!

http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd80/INSANEBA/bling1.jpg

http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd80/INSANEBA/bling2.jpg

[1_slo_92]

I think they look better or your car then they did mine!! and hooters? never been to a hooters lol but if they have beer and food im down

[INSANEBA]

Oh yea, beer, good food, and HOOTERS! If your lucky, we'll show up during a car wash. Man do I love getting my stuff washed lol. I take my truck usually, so they have to use the ladder and stretch a lil more, but dont tell our women that lol...

[R825OH]

The warriors look bichin, give it a nice stance!

[INSANEBA]

The warriors look bichin, give it a nice stance!

Thanks bud, I hope to get the tires situated really soon and have that perfect stance. It's a lil low in the front now, have to go easy pullin in and out of certain places lol...

[INSANEBA]

Well, I may have just added another project to the list. I was traveling out of a small town near my home, when a Cobalt SS tried to pass me. We cant have that now can we? So I downshifted into 2nd, and hammered it! I banged 3rd, then 4th and walked him pretty good. I noticed it wasnt pulling as hard as usual, and looked in my mirror and could see a lil smoke in the ss's headlights. I let out and slowed it down to see what was up. So, she's got a nasty little tick now, I think I collapsed a lifter because it will get a little quieter when it warms up, but still wont go away lol. This sucks because about 2 months ago I just did a cam and intake swap, and coulda replaced them then... But hey, atleast I killed a ricer!

[NXcoupe]

Did you replace heads or valve springs when you put the cam in? Because just a lifter collapsing will not cause smoke out the exhaust. Could be you have a weak valve spring and maybe it crushed one of the factory valve seals if you have stock heads.

[INSANEBA]

No and no Mike lol, I just threw it in for an extra pep til I get the new motor in. I tore it apart wednesday night and found that the buddy whom helped me do the swap never torqued the spyder that holds the lifter keepers down. Atleast thats what I think because I turned the hold down bolts out by hand. It let the #6 cyl. lifters jump outta the bore and chewed half a roller off the 2nd lifter. Since I'm a poorboy, I slapped 2 new lifters in, torqued the spyder back down and threw it back together. She's just fine, and seems to run better than before. I think it's been loose for a lil while now, I'm amazed it didnt wipe a lobe off that cam...

[INSANEBA]

Fix it, then break it again! I was dealing with a small coolant leak issue, when it turned into a bigger leak. The radiator is junk, the cores are coming apart and she's leaking all over the place. Lost a gallon or better in less than 2 miles. Gotta hook up with John on a stock rad for now, but gonna get an aluminum rad as soon as cash permits!

[INSANEBA]

Well I lucked into a FREE set of 165r15's for my front runners. My neighbor had them on his 92 GT when he bought it and switched to 7" in the front. I bolted his wheels on it and they look soo much better. I'll have them thrown on the wheels this coming week, and round me up a set for the back, something in a 255/60/15 ish... Hopefully it gets it a lil more ground clearence, and a better stance/look too!

[motox159]

Ride looks pretty mean bro. Still in the process of getting mine off of blocks lol.

[INSANEBA]

Ride looks pretty mean bro. Still in the process of getting mine off of blocks lol.

Thanks alot man, you'll be glad when youo do! I traded a car I had sitting for a year not running for this one, and eventhough I miss my notchback I'm glad to have this one. Santa's getting me a hood, and I'm gonna throw some paint and a wet kit on it this spring. Probably gonna keep it around for a while, and see just what I can make of it...:bigthumb

[INSANEBA]

Well the 165r15's are on the front, and I just threw the 275/60/15 BFG DR's on it a lil bit ago. OMG those things are huge lol, I gotta do a lil wheel lip work, and gotta check the clearence on the back side after the weather clears, but they sure fill up the wheel wells nicely! Finally looks as mean as I hope it will be someday! I'm planning on throwin the hood on it tomorow, I'll post up a few pics after I'm done...

[k062693w]

275/60/15 is what I had on the rear of mine Brandon ... Get a fender roller and do a little massaging with a BFH to the inner fender by the shocks and you'll be in like Flynn !!! LOL
They fill out the wells nicely !!!
Now get some pics posted !!!

[motox159]

Man, mine has been sitting for almost two years now. Slowly...very slowly piecing it together. I have been feeling pretty froggy here lately though, finally picked up a bumper cover and fender that I needed. Just need paint and a stock 302 rebuild and a few small things to get her on the road. What kind of hood did you get?

[INSANEBA]

My baby bought me a 3" Cobra R hood for it. It was exactly what I wanted for it. I think it's gonna go with the GT body perfect...

[motox159]

Should look good, I believe the one I got was a 2 1/2" Cobra R...picked that up from Mike at Dayton Performance last year sometime. It would look good on yours, it's already red lol. Good luck on the build and if you need any stock parts...minus a radiator...I have a few things from the wrecked donor car I won't need.

[INSANEBA]

Since you mentioned it lol, I am looking for a clean set of fenders and maybe a bumper cover for a 91-93 gt. My fenders need replaced, but not sure on the bumper cover yet. Gonna do that before I shoot it black this spring...

[INSANEBA]

275/60/15 is what I had on the rear of mine Brandon ... Get a fender roller and do a little massaging with a BFH to the inner fender by the shocks and you'll be in like Flynn !!! LOL

Now get some pics posted !!!

Hey Aaron, where did you get that fender roller? I'm actually looking to do that maybe in the next week or two

[INSANEBA]

Well, the hoods on and all I can say is this lil car looks like a mean mofo lol. Seriously, it looks like a true drag car now! I gotta do a little fit and finish on the hood, but looks pretty nice, especially with the huge meats outback now! I'll get pics tomorow in the light, Oh and I also got my white hurst shift knob on too! I dunno why, but I was more excited about that thing than anything else lol... White face gauges and heater face will be here by next week, so I'll be doing gauges and fabbing up a stainless rad hold down next week too... I'l post pics as I go along.

[INSANEBA]

Heres Pics!

[WCKDGT]

looks good man. i still gotta line mine up

[INSANEBA]

Me too, it was too dark and too cold to mess with it the other night lol. I'm really in love with this lil turd now lol, especially with the white shift knob! lmao!

[motox159]

Hood looks mean!!! Can't help you out too much on the bumper cover and fenders...i just picked a bumper cover and pass. side fender up for mine last week. i do know a guy that has a complete doghouse, original fenders and bumper cover all bolted together, it's black and he did want like 250 for it.

[INSANEBA]

Thanks for the compliments! I do love the look myself, I was in town yesterday and stopped by Latamuds and picked up his fender lip roller. I'm gonna trim the lips down to 3/8's, and roll em so I dont have any problems. I also picked up a radiator and an extra fan while in town, so she'll be back on the road this week! I cant wait either lol! Did you buy the new black one on here that was trimmed for an intercooler? I was trying to get it, but he wouldnt respond to any pm's or posts. I'll have to hold off on the whole dog house right now, good deal but goin on a cruise in 4 weeks, and gotta pinch pennies! lol..

[four6trix]

Man she is sittin' pretty now! I was just over helping my father-in-law finish putting Eibach springs on his '83 yesterday. It has that same look to it now, tucked just right over the meats in the back. :drool: = all I can say.

[INSANEBA]

Lol thats what I did when I stepped back and looked at it, thanks by the way! Which eibach's did he use? My cousin's looking for a set to drop his 92 a bit too...

[four6trix]

I'm pretty sure they're these ones. http://www.andysautosport.com/ford/1987_1993_mustang/suspension/lowering_springs/eibach/eiba00038572.html

They were perfect too. Just what it needed.

[motox159]

I got a pm from a guy and he had a red fender and bumper cover...that would have worked out pretty good for you too lol. I did see the one that had the cutout...and there was another guy that had one on here, can't remember who it was tho.

Damn, if they are the ones in your avatar, I sure would love to have em lol...

[motox159]

That would be them fella!

[INSANEBA]

DAMN! lol

[motox159]

Can't wait to get some blue on there, then it will look even better hahaa

[INSANEBA]

Or you could just sell the cover to me and find a blue one lol!

[INSANEBA]

Well I used Bart's (latamud) fender lip roller on my car lastnight, and I must say that is one saweet ass tool! I tapped in the inner tub right infront of the shock mount, and slapped the wheels back on. I set it on the ground, and it is way better. But theres still rubbing, if I hit a minor bump, or the car twist's it rubs pretty good, Is my car too low or are these tires just the wrong size? I'm starting to wonder...

[INSANEBA]

Well I'm spring shopping right now, but in the mean time I'm yanking the heater control and gauge cluster and doing the white face gauge kits. I bought the Whiteface.com kits, I used them on my dodge ram and loved them, so I figured I'd try em again lol. I'll post pics as I go...

[INSANEBA]

Here's the heater cont. with my fav, the white shift knob lol
http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd80/INSANEBA/tadaa.jpg

[motox159]

that white shift knob is sweeeeeeeeeet

[INSANEBA]

Gotta get these thrown back in one of these days lmao

http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd80/INSANEBA/saweet.jpg

[INSANEBA]

Well I just talked with Plated this morning, and all I can say is as soon as I get back from the cruise, she's goin to paint!! I am sooo stoked! Not gonna be the ugly duck anymore!

[motox159]

So does this mean your keepin the cover you have on there? Can't wait to see it when it's done. Any "special effects" going into the paint? Or you going solid with it?

[INSANEBA]

Yep, stockers are staying, just gonna throw a fender on it and do a lil tear down for him as soon as I get back. Probably door pins too while I'm at it. Not sure on the specialties, I want to so I'm gonna chat with Plated about it when I get back... You know I'll keep you posted...

[INSANEBA]

Well the more I think on it, I think I should hold off on paint til I get the big jobs done on it. I'm doing a new motor this summer and would hate to think of scratching or denting it up from that. So I'm ordering some suspension parts, a dope kit, and a lil patch work as far as the body goes. I ordered a cobra grill insert, 2 fenders, a set of coilovers, and got a axle to swap in with 4:10's. So I'm gonna get to work and see how I am on cash when I'm done, might still go to plated...

[motox159]

I'm going to be lucky to get mine painted by summer. Decided to go another way with the motor too. This time next year...prolly still sitting on blocks lol

[INSANEBA]

Well I'm doing the axle swap in 2-3 weeks, because I'm so damn busy lately lol. But I also went to gearheadz sunday and picked up a lil wet kit for it too! Gonna hook it up and see just how fast we can get her going...

[INSANEBA]

Well the next 2 chapters in this build thread are going to be suspension/rear axle and a wet kit installations. Look for updates and pics soon, I just ordered a UPR Pro Drag spring kit with the air bag, solid control arms, and strange externally adjustable shocks today. I also have everything now to install that wet kit, and am soo stoked on this one too lol...

[INSANEBA]

These came in today...
http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd80/INSANEBA/yay.jpg

[motox159]

My my those look purdy! Hopefully I get put back on dayshift here in the near future. Workin 12 1/2 hr nights doesn't give much time to do anything. Think my car will be one of those barn finds in like 50 years.

[INSANEBA]

Picked up the 70mm PP T body and spacer today for that wet kit... Somethin funs a brewin!!!

[INSANEBA]

Well with all the bike stuff goin on lately, havent had much time to work on the gt. So I set a date for yesterday to work on getting that 4:10 axle and springs in it. I got the axle swapped, the rear springs in, the air bag and line ran, and a new feed line for the dope ran from the trunk to the engine bay. While I was in there I swapped out the speedo gear and did an oil change. OMG those gears made a world of difference, as did the rear springs!!!

[motox159]

You make better progress than I do fella! Once again I'm put on hold. Gotta get rid of my Ranger for a baby hauler lol. But I did pick up a cheap 1970 F100 shortbed this week. That's gonna be my beater, rat rod ride for a while. If I only had my own garage....

[INSANEBA]

Tell me about it, I have to go to friends garage or do it in the driveway lol...

[INSANEBA]

Heres a good pic that happened to be in the background of a pic of another mustang I took. It sits a lil higher in the rear now, just gotta get the front done... Oh I need coil spring compressors....
