when i went out and started my car today, this is were the volts were at idle, and when i drive it the gauge stays about a half a notch away from the middle. so i guess im good lol.
oh and the temp gauge doesnt work, it just stays at the bottom like that.. any ideas?

heres a link to a video clip of my exhaust. the camera made it sound really quiet which its not; its not loud but you can hear me coming. and it was a bit windy out so the video kind of sucks.

The red stripe will be taken off, im getting some LX tail lights, new headlights sometime, tinting the windows, cobra wing, cobra rear bumper, and some 18" saleens. but the first few things will be done as soon as possible lol.

let me know what you think! oh and if anyone has the itching to make a sig, make away! lol

Look really nice and clean...good job. Now just lose the red stripe and the turbines and you will be all set;), no but really, it looks sharp. How much did you give for it?

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

Thanks man

$3,900 bones

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

Looks really good. I actually dont mine the two tone black/red interior that much, looks pretty good. I would just take that red stripe off and get some ponys (or something better) and it would be great. And put some LX tailights on there and remove the front liscence plate :D

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

Sick man nice and clean! I took my red stripe off, makes it look alot cleaner. GL with your project! :D

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

Not a bad price either. Kind of makes me want to add a GT to my family, but I think the LX would get jelous:D

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

Looks nice man... reminds me of my old black 88 gt... :(

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

hey thanks guys!

88blk5.0 how difficult was it to get the stripe off? and how did you do it?

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

Use a hair dryer firstand then some mild adhesive remover, like goof off or goo be gone.

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

Porno red interior FTW!!!!

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

dont do it! its beautiful!
keep it clean like that and just upgrade and repair, dont waste ur money and changing something that isnt broken (the red stripe = hot)

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

how is the red stripe ever going to break? :eek::D

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

that easy huh?? the only reason why its not off now is because i have had 2 different body shop guys that have told me its going to be a big pain in the ass to get it off and make it look good. but hell ill give it a shot!

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

so far your the first person that has seen my car thats likes the red stripe lol

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

It doesnt look bad... I just think it would look a little cleaner with it off.

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

Good looking ride

RE: Pics of my new ride!!

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

nice lookin car

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

crap.. well my pop has the camera so ill have to update the pics later.

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

That looks REALLY nice. Porno red interior lol... poor soul, but the outside is gorgeous. As for the red stripe, I think it needs to go. My mom had the red stripe also when she bought mine,she painstakingly peeled/chipped off the stripe with a razor blade.

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

car looks great man
quick question what springfield there is one in every state, and what are the mods if any

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

Real clean ride. My temp guagedid the same thing. I replaced the ECT (engine coolant temp )sensor and now it works.

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

It looks good. The first thing I would look into is swapping over to black interior though.

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

thats a hot color combo. sep the interior[:@], but very clean good luck brotha!

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

Clean, I personally hate red interior though. Get rid of the red stripe and tint it. G2G

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

WOW!! thats the only fox that ive seen with the red strip around the body kit that looks good. damn dude nice car!!

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

Leave the red stripe. If you can get it off its gonna look like assbecause the black under it will be a different shade due to the rest of the car fading over time.

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

nice car man, the red stripe dosent look that bad, i wouldnt be to worried about it, becareful with that goo gone stuff and your paint though.
I like the wing on the back. Looks clean too, good price. Does it have 104xxx miles on it? anything been done to it yet?

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

Well its complicated esp in cold weather. I used a heat gun and a razor(to pry up corners to peel). Basically if you heat up a spot, pry the corner up with the razor and peel, the stripe should come right off (if its the right temperature). There are two types of stripes: the orig one where its actually a thick flexible peice of plastic thats actually attached to the moldings on the corners and cheap flimsy aftermarket crap (this stuff always breaks when your trying to peel it). My car had both types of "stripe" lol so it was quite difficult. Its not that hard once you get into it just time consuming. Its worth the effort imo.

ps. The red stripe doesnt look bad, its just i find that the "red" is actually a orange red... not fire engine red. Its like how the "red and black" interior is actually red and grey.. silly ford

pps. If you want to see what it looks like without the stripe then photoshop it... its what i did in order to decide

Good luck tho!

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

hey thanks guys for all your input!! im real happy with the car!

im in Springfield, IL.
the car has the intake silencer removed, K$N drop in filter, MARCH underdrive pulleys, flowmaster cat back, and FRPP plug wires. i think thats it.. but ya pretty much stock, but itll have full exhaust by next month :D. but i tell you what it sure is a fun car to drive even stock!! i love it!

you know i have thought about that, havnt really priced much out yet but the interior is so damn clean its growing on me and i just cant make myself tear it out its so nice. but i have also thought about switching to power windows/locks but prolly wont do that either just because i wanna spend money on other stuff lol.

ya i thought it would be, but what im going to do is just try it on one of the smaller peices and just see how much of a difference it is. but i have a lot of friends that work at or own body shops here locally so i should be able to get it taken care of.

ya the wing is stock, but itll be gone as soon as i get a cobra wing lol. it does have 104,000 miles

ya i kinda thought that it would be a little harder because of the cold. but my stripe is actually a really thin like vinal i assuming thats stuck on there with some type of adhesion (sp?). so hopefully i can take care of it.

Thanks again guys on the comments!

oh i kinda racing a buddy of mine with an 88' GT auto thats got 4.10's, full exhaust, and a bad ass tranny and i held right with him :D cant wait to get my exhaust!!

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

Looks really nice!! Congrats!!!

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

check to see if you have a t-stat mine would not come up at all and when i checked it was not there, so i put one in and i found out why it was out in the first place. it would over heat, blown head gasket, never had any other signs nothing in the exaust or the oil but the exaust was leakin into the coolant and over pressurizing then out the overflow it would go. if its not that replace the sending unit

RE: Pics of my new ride!!
 

good luck trying to get the sticker off the door moldings. it's impossible. the rubber and sticker become one over time i had to paint over mine. (when i still had the two tone)
