BoogieBob 0 #1 November 23, 2004 Yes, I'm actually alive. Have been to the DZ a couple of times in the past few weeks (to observe). I have a new friend who has been taking up a large amount of my time (pic will be below). Reason I'm posting (other than to say "hi") is I'm a member of The Black Mustang Club. Basically there is a site ranking thing on stangnet that gets the site ranked based on people voting for it. One can only vote once per 12 hour period. I've pretty much determined that it's an IP-based method of checking (an IP can only vote every twelve hours -- it's not cookie based checking). But, while I am running through my list of anonymous proxies and voting I thought I'd ask anyone who cared to make a couple of clicks of the mouse to help the BMC out. Just open this link: http://www.stangnet.com/top/in.php?site=1064540661 and choose "10" in the rating dropdown box and click on the voting button. Won't take but a few seconds. It would be appreciated. Thanks! [Edit: doh, forgot to add "Thanks!"] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wee 0 #2 November 23, 2004 There's a black mustang club? Do you meet? (I'm visualizing the parking lot -- hehehe)... huh... news to me edited to make sense If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #4 November 23, 2004 I made you car better. The changes added roughly 50hp at the wheels.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BoogieBob 0 #6 November 23, 2004 wee> BMC gatherings abound. No, it's not late at night at the Food Lion which I kinda gathered is what you were thinking. Actually, just this past Saturday I drove down to Chesnee, SC for a benefit cruise-in. The admission to the car show was an unwrapped toy at least $10 in value to benefit the needy kids in that area. It was a great event. Lot's of nice cars and, most importantly, lots of toys and money generated to help out some needy kids in that area. Maybe soon I'll link up some pics of other meets so you can see many Mustangs parked together. It's beauty. ltdiver> That's a nice looking Stang. SN95 (maybe FOX4 if it's a '94 or '95 with the 302). Why are you sniffling about it though? It looks great. The shine on the hood looks fantastic. AggieDave> Come on man...personally I liked the avatars of you either swooping or the head shot. Thanks for 'shopping up my pic...it actually doesn't look too bad like that....but I'm smelling fried rice in it lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #7 November 23, 2004 I should have added one of them "toliet fart" mufflers those ricer wannabes get. Those alone add another 30hp at the wheels! So all together I would roughly guess the PSed 'stang would put out about 320bhp since it is "only" a GT...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

BoogieBob 0 #8 November 23, 2004 I was thinking about a MAC 2.5" Flowpath Catback for some sound. I dunno, '98 GT got a factory rated 225hp at the flywheel...but it's my first V8 car (and first convertible) so I'm still all into lovin' the whole experience so far. Maybe in the near future I'll get the catback. I gotta figure out what the hell is throwing the P1443 low/no purge flow MIL. A shop replaced the charcoal canister. MIL came back on. I replaced the purge flow sensor today while I was "working." Also got a gas cap, but they gave me a '99-'02 cap...no worky...gotta go back and get the RIGHT one tomorrow. Only things left are EVAP lines, purge flow valve and the vapor vent valve over the fuel tank. If I throw enough parts at it I might actually get the P1443 resolved. Other than that, it runs great. In Bishopville, SC, if you are heading East on I-20 and get off the interstate you come down a nice rounder that is ripe for second gear. Best part is you get to go under the overpass of I-20....sounds great in second as it's taching up....about 3500 under the first lane overpass then 4500 under the next with large throttle angle...gettin' mad reverb from the intake and the car sounds just beautiful. I love the sound. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The shine on the hood looks fantastic. Thanks. Yeah, she was beautiful. '98 225 GT. Custom ordered. Took 8 weeks to make it and get it to me. Delivered November 11, 1997. Still remember the day. 104306 miles when she was taken from me (totaled when an idiot ran a stop sign and t-boned the drivers side door) on May 3, 2003. I'd always loved the '64.5 since I was a kid. My '98 was the first custom car I ever owned. Man, I miss her. Nothing that has followed (including the new 2005) can fit the bill. Doesn't handle right even though the engine sound brings tears to my eyes. Next time you rev the engine on your black beauty think of me and send the sound waves my way... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't imagine how I'd feel if that happened to my car. And, will do on the revving sounds. Keep your ears open. It's raining here so I got to enjoy some nice revving power-slide action in a couple of corners when dropping 2nd...you may have heard that ;) I know you still miss your car, but a lot of people I know would kill to have a 2005. Enjoy it!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not a Ford guy, I'm a Chevy guy and I really really don't like Mustangs, I haven't liked any Mustang made since the early 70's, BUT I really like the '05s...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

SkymonkeyONE 3 #12 November 23, 2004 Sorry, Lori, but you couldn't hang out with Bob because your car is RED. Actually, mine was too. I have owned one mustang, an '87 GT. I drove it HARD until it simply smoked too much like a hoopty for me to be seen in and then I bought another Corvette. I had two-chamber flowmasters, a hard-hitting shift kit (it was an AOD car), and a K&N ram-air. It made a lot of racket and looked stylie with the 17 inch wheels I had on it. Chuck PS: Bob, get your ass back in the sky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
