Here's the difference the new axle made.

And the video starts with me holding my phone against the steering wheel with my thumb.

And then by the end of the "before" part i stuck it in the sunglasses holder on the sun visors.

I'll keep  the video up for maybe a day or two. Then i'm taking it down. Even unlisted its bound to attract haters. 

 

That is quite the difference, holy shite.

You can hear the engine so much better, the previous axle made tons of noise... Or that's just me

Man. I want too much shit

 

 

Oooooo. My dad has an '88 foxbody convertible GT 5.0. He's got a custom exhaust and stuff on it, but the fuel pump is out and he hasn't got the time to fix it.

On the highway i could hear nothing but the rear axle in the last while before it went pop. So yeah.. It was a bit loud

My buddy James has owned 5 Foxbodies since last March. Current one is a 89 Notchback with a 350 out of a Nova in it. My favorite still was his 92 with a 93 Cobra rear end in it

Nice! My faves 'Stang would be the '60s era ones. Classic body shape, and still look boss. Speaking of which, Boss Mustangs are awesome.

Growing up my dream car was a K code Mustang. Always had a love for them, after the Fox Body they don't interest me too much, I'm not going to lie. I really want a Foxbody hatch though

Yup. The newer ones look great, but not as good as the old ones. It's like Covettes. I love the old ones, hate the new ones, but the newest ones look good. My dram car right now would probs be a McLaren or Ford GT. I gotta learn how to drive a manual before I could even own one though. The only manual my dad has is his Mustang, and it's not exactly a beginners car. It would be nice to get away from the 3 speed in my SUV though (that currently won't start since the theft system is bonkers).

Blown euro motor gang ?

 

In all reality I'm sorry to see that. Seems very familiar. Just driving along, and RPMs fully cut. You drained your oil yet?

God I just want to drive my car

i assume that's oil spewed all over the driveway?

Yeah that was from draining oil, and someone walking by and kicking the drain pan accidentally. Not fresh

 

Have a pressure washer and the driveway will be looking new someday anyway so it's not the end of the world

[RevoltTrain]

TIL Stock Evo 8 intercoolers bolt right up to a 9-5 and of course will outperform a stock 9-5 intercooler. Interesting.

remind me again, what happened again? and when did the car stop working and how long has it been not running?

Was driving normally. Engine cut out on me. Drained oil, little bit of metal in it. Was down for a week or two (Died on the 2nd). Got a new alternator on it. Drove it 3 miles, oil light came on, drained oil again. Tons of gold flake in it. Pretty sure it spun a bearing

 

Oil light went away at higher RPM also

do you know if it's a main bearing or something like a conrod bearing or anything like that? or if it's even a bearing? and i assume you haven't driven it since you came to the conclusion it spun a bearing.

either way he had metal in the oil so every metal part needs to be replaced pretty much... and the block rebored a size up and honed

Best government ad ever; i like it more than the "you wouldn't steal a ____" ad they had a long time ago lol

No idea quite yet. Been too hot to wrench on the car. 90F+ with about 85% humidity constantly

Sometimes you can get away without having to go that far. But I doubt I'll be that lucky
