Hey, guys, just wanted to put my lil intro post in here... Im actually considering the purchase of a 98 A4 TA as a DD here in the near future, so I figure it might be time for me to do some learning, lol.

My fun car is my '86 GT that Ive had for a couple of years that Im building as a fun street/autox/whatever car. Basic mods: 3.73's, 5 lug, 10th anny cobra wheels, bassanni headers, catted x, magnaflow CB, Illuminas and H&R Race with no iso's. Also my first all over paint job.

I actually considered selling, but no one wanted to pay for it, so I've just about decided to keep it.

Here's a few pics:
These are from the last AutoX I was in:



Some from another one:

Awesome, looks like you've got that car dialed in pretty well, Mustang or not. Yeah, you won't regret buying an LS-1 powered F-body; you'll love it but maybe you'll consider auto-X-ing that car also? More fun to be had...

Thanks! that car has come a long way, and still has quite a way left to go.

eh, as much fun as im sure it would be, Ive got one project, and a busy college student can only handle one of those at a time, both with time and funds, lol.

If the car works out, Im looking forward to it. Ive always liked he way the TA's looked, and the one I looked at didnt drive too bad, just had a couple issues I wondered about. Check my post in the noob tech section for details.

Very nice man, youre welcome here. I had had 9 Mustangs starting with an 85 GT and ending with a 2.8KB 03 Cobra. I love them all these days.

I love your GT, do you have any interior engine shots?
