Pretty cool. We need to get you a Volvo though.

I work with a guy who has an 05 Mustang Mach I. I'm pretty sure that's what it is, but not positive. Has the air scoop on the hood and looks real cool. We went out and had a couple beers the other night and I was telling about the time I was in Kansas and had to see where my 850 shifted into OD when just keeping my foot to the floor. Well he told me he was between Toledo and Columbus and had the Stang going 165 mph and it was still climbing. Said it felt like the front end was going to come off the ground though. Whereas when I had the 850 going about 130 it felt like it was being sucked down to the road. I've only had a couple cars going that fast and the 850 felt better than the others by a long shot.

 

I had mine to About 140(Guess speedo only goes to 85) and I felt the same thing as him.
The front felt like an Airplane getting ready to take off.

I haven't had it up that high since I lowered it about 2 inches so now it might get sucked down instead of going up.(Hope so).
But one day I will have it up that high again. Hopefully I will have the 140 speedo or even a 160 speedo by then.

I also was only half way through 4th gear and had all of 5th to go.

 

I've got my R which is probably somewhat faster than the previous 850 Turbo and I have neve had it over 100 mph. I know the car will do it, but the driver just doesn't have it in him anymore, and Justin has not had it w/o me yet.

 

I have my own R now =)

Too bad the wife only lets me drive it on weekends.
Maybe I should do like my dad and break the AC in the R, so the wife doesn't want to drive it...hah!

OR -- trade the accord in on a 850R/T5R <---yeah that's the best idea.

 

Yah Yah Break something so you get to drive it more. LOL

 

You don't want to break the AC trust me. Mine has not been driven this week. I have to get that fixed. I'm driving my Nissan Frontier because it has AC and it's in the mid 90's here.

 

I know how you feel I drive around here in Florida for Many Years before I even had a Car that Came equipt with A/C.

 

U know we're interested Any idea what kind of power gains the parts will give? Looks sweet BTW

 

what does Ford stand for again? lol. fixxed or repaired daily? found on roadside dead? fukked over rebuilt dodge? LMAO. nah, just kidding. looks like you're going to have some power under the hood of the thing when you're done.

 

NO idea on Power Gains I am actually under powered at the moment. At like 190 HP or 200 Hp.
The motor isn't a Mustang Motor. I am making it into a mustang motor (225 HP) than adding extra's.

Hopefully once all done it will make a run at the track.

 

I had old Geeves (240 wagon...stock) up to 120 once....but that was going through South Dakota with the wind at my back...i think it took some 5 miles to actually get going that fast. The brick could move though!

Speaking of A/C, the guilded squire trap (cavalier) has no A/C. I guess it ran out of freon last winter. If i have to have it i drive Geeves. LOL, two years in storage, 157,000 more miles and it has beter A/C than the Crazy Cav...unbelievable.

Speaking of the cavalier. Anyone know how tough it is to change out the analog display for the milage? Mine burnt out finaly....sad....how will i know when to change the oil? (why am i asking this on a Volvo forum? Seems sacreligious)

 

Oh yeah....nice parts Tech. VROOOOMMM!!!!!!

You know, you could put all those ponies into a 240....it'll fit.

 

I know sometime I will have one with a 5.0 in it.

 

what % tint you got on that stang?

 

LIMO not sure of the Exact % rating I know it is Limo and I LOVE IT.
I also have a strip on the top of the windsheild that comes down about 1 foot.

 

Hopefully I will also be adding a set of BBk shorty Headers and Urethane engine and trans mounts while I have the engine out.

 

Nice man. I take it you do more highway driving with the 3.27 gears. I had 4.10s in my GT. She launched pretty hard. What kind of gears did you get? I had the FRPP.

 

A buddy gave them to me. They have Ford stamped on them.

Yes I do 75 miles a day to work and back.

 

betcha have fun with gas being $3+
