    3V into a retired NASCAR.... just getting started.

    Yeah, I asked Mike Fennegan to hook me up with the transmission of of the nascarlo. It didn't work :) It'd be easy as hell in GA if I just set a body over my existing frame like they did. It'd most likely be illegal since it'd be a frame change, but it'd be grey enough to work. I'm...

    3V into a retired NASCAR.... just getting started.

    Good call tjm73. I looked up the pan at vatozone and got excited thinking you unlocked a factory shallow oil pan... The PUBLISHED depth of the Lincoln pan is 6.25"... but the Mustangs is said to be 6.38". For a difference of only 130 thousandths. So I made if .gif between the two...

    3V into a retired NASCAR.... just getting started.

    I didn't update much the last few months since most of the effort was spent parting out the Mustang during the day and researching parts at night. Turns out selling Mustang parts requires a lot of time answering stupid questions. Far more than I expected. The car grew more dust than it did...

    3V into a retired NASCAR.... just getting started.

    No shit. I'm not building a lego toy out of a kit following instructions that someone else came up with. I keep thinking some people might enjoy seeing something new and odd, but i guess I need to buy another plain Jane belly button Mustang just like any monkey with a checkbook can do...

    3V into a retired NASCAR.... just getting started.

    Is there a list of factory oil pan depths? I can't image all mod pans are all the same depth. It's as high as it can go without hitting the hood and the pan is hanging below the frame. I'm hoping I can get a junkyard pan and pickup instead of having to cut, weld, hammer, etc... I got...

    3V into a retired NASCAR.... just getting started.

    Got my Lito 'kit car tune' and the dash out. Now it's time to start my wire diet... I didn't expect to find so much computer hardware under the dash since the PCM is under the hood. What are these 4 electrical boxes? It looks like 1 and 2 are amps for my door woofers, 3 is an airbag...

    3V into a retired NASCAR, what tuner do I need?

    I bought the X3 used and had no idea what software (or tunes) it came loaded with. My question was if generic ''kit car'' type tunes could be downloaded, or if they are forced to be written to my exact ECM. It looks like I have to have a specific tune made for my specific computer.

    3V into a retired NASCAR, what tuner do I need?

    Got my X3 in the mail today. I was hoping to be able to at least turn off PATS so I can get started with the wire diet, but I can't. Where can I find a generic ''car kit'' tune to load into this controller? Or are they VIN specific to each exact ECM? Pretty much all I need is spark, fueling...

    3V into a retired NASCAR.... just getting started.

    It's not going to be exactly 'street legal', but I am going to put a license plate on it and drive my ''2001 Ford Taurus'' on the street. :)

    3V into a retired NASCAR, what tuner do I need?

    I got a used X3 on the way. With any luck It'll do what I need. It looks like HP Tuners has an OBD2 plugin that will work with my '06. I don't think Ford makes the control pack anymore for some reason. I probably wouldn't get it anyways as it's overpriced since it comes with a bunch of...

    3V into a retired NASCAR, what tuner do I need?

    There are. I already have 4 460s, a 351W, and a set of Cleveland heads if I want to make a clevor... The problem is the transmission. With 12" slicks and a locker my main hobby will be busting T5's and riding on wreckers unless I spend $10,000 on a tranny (with no overdrive) for a used race...

    3V into a retired NASCAR.... just getting started.

    A few months ago I found a retired Boris Said roadrace NECKCAR and thought it'd make a cool street car (Duke boys style). Next, I went off searching for a V8 GT manual (and damn near lost faith in humanity at the amount of autos and V6s compared to v8/sticks). A few days ago I found this...

    3V into a retired NASCAR, what tuner do I need?

    I just got an 06 manual GT to use as a donor car. It's smashed up, but still runs and drives. While it still runs, I want to flash the computer with a new tune and turn off a bunch of stuff. I need to turn off PATS, kill the rear O2s, and turn off anything that has nothing to do with running...
