My First post and pics of my Fox!
Hey guys, I'm glad to get to be a part of the community!
Enjoy:
1991 Mustang Coupe
Started life as your run of the mill 2.3 auto coupe:
I crashed it and the A4LD auto trans gave out
Then my dad and I painted it with about 70 hours of prep.
Then with help of fast50 and his brother in-law, We dropped in a 2.3 turbo engine and t-5 transmission swap.
I then added a bunch of suspension goodies and gave the car a nice stance.
As it sits now with some new wheels.

Looks great!!! I love the color. What springs did you use to lower it and how does it ride?? I really want to get the wheel gap down on my 4 banger!

Fast50 quit tempting me. lol
They are straight wound, 2" drop springs for the 5.0 (I cant recall the brand). They are just right in ride height and the ride quality is firm but nice. If you want ride quality go with progressively wound springs like Maximum Motorsports.
It makes about 190 hp at the wheels as I have it currently (20 psi of boost). That is judging from others with similar builds since I have never had it on the dyno.
My goal is to make 300 WHP, but I can't decide whether to stick with the 4 banger of go V-8. Both would cost about the same...

you already got the 4 cyl turbo so why not just see how far you can go? def impressive engines when done right. the look on ricers faces is totally priceless too when you hand them their a$$es. the first bs they give you well you got a v-8 and you can say nope 4 cyl, just like you.....
