new but not really
what up been a member for a while but got rid of all my foxbody mustangs, just picked up a new one yesterday, first one in bout 4 years, its a 89 lx hatch 5.0 5 speed 49181 miles on it, been sitting in a gargage for 10 years, old man was goin to junk it and my buddy picked it up for me and i flew home from alabama to kentucky to pay him the money for it yesterday, needs a little tlc but great solid car, sun roof car (doesnt leak) power windows locks and mirrors (all work) the map light still works, 140 speedo, power lumbar seats (also works) tilt steering, kinda rare in a lx i heard, air works just needs charged, stainless steel cat back with off road h pipe, 5 lug conversion, 2003 gt rims, motor stock except msd distributor, needs egr valve idles rough, already replaced idle air sensor, and when i plugged it back it it ran worse been driving it with it unplugged and it idles better like that, so egr is only thing else i can think of, needs cobra rims, the spacers arent big enough for the gt rims, it rubbed holes in the center caps on the rims, exhaust hanger needs rewelded, white car with red interior, needs minor body work very minor and the the paint freshened up, got that lined up already, so anyways pretty excited to be back in the foxbody family, and back on the forum, i had to start a new account on here cause my old name was 87GT5.0 and i dont have that car hence the noob amount of posts and join date

yea im pretty stoked, ready to go ahead and start digging into it and modding, im just looking to make a decently fast street car, wouldnt mind some ideas if anybody wants to add some input feel free, dont want it too gnarly, good mild cam, aluminum heads, intake, 3.73 gears, suspension, rims and tires, most of your everyday bolt on's will do just fine, let me know some of yous guys setup and hp numbers so i can derive what i want to do
