The fuel pump has been screaming for a little while now...so bad I could hear it over the radio! I assume it was the stock unit.
Anyways, I dropped the tank and replaced it with a Walbro 190 https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4366/...c9caffd0_c.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4357/...b8eee10a_c.jpg After I got it done, I took it for a drive down the Devils Triangle! :drive: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4482/...0fdb2951_c.jpg |
I originally bought the car just to compete in autocross, which was Feb. 2015. I didn't get the car drive-able til Nov. 2016.
Now fast forward to last weekend, first autocross. I'm pumped and ready to go, check the car and everything is fine. I head out early in the morning and drive out to the event. I stop right before I get there and grab some snacks at a gas station. I get in the car and go to start it.....NOTHING!!!!!!! :bang: :bang: :bang: I haven't had this problem in the car before, and of all days it could give me problems...it chooses the day of my first autox event! I give it some time and tried to turn it over a few times. Finally, it fired up. :thumbsup: Got my car through tech and walked the course as much as I could. We got to make six runs and it was a blast! :D Now, I need more seat time and suspension goodies. Few photos from the event http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...psdlhy8lzj.jpg http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...psyvkvhkat.jpg http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps7pj3srp3.jpg |
Looks like a hoot! Did you figure out what the no start issue was or did it just go away?
:thumbsup: |

Been awhile since I've posted an update.
- I changed out the old faded headlights for some new ones...now I can at least see at night. - Sanded and painted my side mirrors, since no one offers replacement manual mirrors for a fox. - Had my fan crap out, so I hit the junkyard and picked up a 2-speed contour fan and wired it in to the ignition. I plan on adding a controller to it this winter. - Finally, welded in some sub-frame connectors This winter, the plan to build a panhard bar and 3-link for the rear. Along with boxing in the radiator and add some flares to the fenders. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4430/...39aacf41_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4569/...52385889_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4334/...22b9725b_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4445/...5f532bb1_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4448/...2a921943_z.jpg Shop dog https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4387/...7c63f859_z.jpg He's not the best help lol https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4403/...beb19d5c_z.jpg Passenger side https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4339/...421475b7_z.jpg Driver side https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4382/...0afb6b32_z.jpg Also, my brother grabbed this awesome shot one morning at my parents house https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4457/...420827c7_b.jpg |
Nice picture. Glad you got those headlights changed out. I had a friend that had an 87 Mustang with headlights that bad. He drove with his high beams on to see. No one would flash him back to tell him they were being blinded.

What’s your plan for the flares?
The 18x10’s look great, do you think with a different offset you wouldn’t be rubbing, I assume it’s rubbing the outer and not the inner? Keep the updates coming, there’s more than a couple Mustang guys around here. :thumbsup: |

The front actually rubbed the inner at full lock, I just added a 3/8in spacer and that seemed to help. The rear rubs the outer but only when I hit a bump. The rear is from a 98, so little wider than a fox unit. I've been driving on it all summer and fall, but it needs to be addressed over the winter. |
Looking forward to seeing the flares, I’ve thought about doing the same....what does JDM mean anyways? :headscratch:
I’m right behind you on my upgrades, I’ll be picking up my ‘95 5lug and brake stuff tomorrow. :thumbsup: |
Cool project! Good luck with it
