yeah love these ba's with no spoiler or badges ect.
its got on of those monza "wog?" coolers, a chip, a really good tune, turbosmart pipe, full difillipo exhaust with a bigger dump pipe and no rear ressy. oh and running 10.5 psi.
but now its leaning out bad, so upgrading pump and 60 lb injectors in the future.

its true see it happin on my mates xr6t its caused from severe compressor surge from not having a bov , and performance wise id get the pod out of the engine bay its right above the exhaust manifold which is not good have a look at plazmaman website they have a cheap kit to move the pod to under the drivers headlight.

There's a group buy on fordmods for shifters, if not bomber seems to run them fairly frequently:

love this car dyl , although it looked fraking hot with the compressed standards in it , i think the ultras you have in it now are more sensible

It's actually a 6 speed. The previous owner killed the 5 speed so dropped in the 6 speed.

haha yeah small world hey? lol
ok a few more pics ect.
so due to the height= camber the inside edge wore pretty bad. and after power skiding 2nd and getting a flat from that i realised how worn they were:


here was something small i wanted to do since i got it, put bf tail lights in it. they are a cleaner, nicer light. and looks better at night too.
my ba tail light

new bf light
