Re: my mustang and my intro

First post, Very nice! I would not mind having a new 5.0, and I've said for a while that my next car will be black, so you've basically got the exact car I want, lol. I've got two other Mustangs right now, though, and they're plenty fun as is. I will say that the live axle gives it more personality, and can be made to handle plenty well. I'll be putting panhard bars in both Mustangs eventually, once I get the money.

I don't lol, but when I do work on cars you always end up rounding some head off then think, if only it was a torx screw...:P


Ah, you should buy a Renault then. Every item on the car that's not secured by a ruddy great bolt appears to be held on with some variety of torx screw (mainly T20s and T30s) - you'd love it. Of course, the fact that you can undo said screws without stripping them is a fairly necessary consolation given how often you have to :D :oops:

Personally, I find it annoying. No matter how many sets of torx bits I buy, I keep losing them, but I always have a conventional screwdriver and several sets of hex sockets and spanners taunting me :lol:

I would never buy french tbh unless its an old 205 ;) For me it would always be the torx screws holding down some french eletrics and cheeze being undone all the time :P. Best thing to do it not buy the torx bit but get torx screwdrivers, much easier to find (especially halfords ones, just look for the green handels!)
Everything Should Use Torx Screws

Re: my mustang and my intro

Happy to see another Mustang guy on here! As its been said before the Mustangs LRA rear end isn't the handycap alot of people make it out to be. Hell look at the numbers the Boss 302 makes and the Ford Racing s197 Race cars.

Re: my mustang and my intro

Very nice car but I think you have to be in the USA to really enjoy driving one. They where designed for the USA and in my opinion they represent the American way of life.
Everytime I see a new Mustang here in Germany I consider the driver as a showoff without even knowing why I do so. Don't get me wrong I really appreciate the looks and the sound of this car but for me it belongs to America. And when I'm coming over I definitley want to drive one. ;)
Btw what illegal highwayspeeds are you talking of? :P

Re: my mustang and my intro

@masteroferdinger he is probably talking about any speed over 80- 85 MPH.
