Hey Jet how are things going? I sold my cobra in 2012.

I don't bother much with social media, too much junk.

My McLaren has 207,000 miles still on the original driveline.

Hope everyone is doing well.

[QuarterHorse]

Got a new...sorta new...Mustang Project. I've had a 94 GT sitting around a few years kinda parted out that I'm putting back together for a drag car. 347, C4, 4.10's on a spool with 37 spline axles and C clip eliminators and coilovers. Still needs the cage put in and wired but it's getting there. If I had some pics on the computer I'd share them...guess I should download a few.

[QuarterHorse]

I am. I have a 10 point pre bent kit that will get installed. I'll get it tacked in and get a welder to make it permanent. I can weld but I need someone with more steady hand to do it right. Been away from drag racing for too long and I need to inhale some burnt rubber and race fuel again :biglaugh:

[QuarterHorse]

Pics of the Mustang

[svtrichie]

Wow, haven?t been here in ages. Collecting fox mustangs here in Mesa. Trying to put the best collection possible. At the moment have a 79 pace, 85 gt, 2 86 gt?s, 88 gt, 92 lx, 93 cobra and fairmont wagon.

Be nice to see this site get rolling again with the old Phoenix area members. How is the car scene out there these days?

I never did overly like the car after having a 9 second cobra. New GT500 may be my next car.

Mesa cars and coffee this morning. 6 foxbodys showed up! Along with another 50 plus cars

Nice we have about 10 inches of snow on the lawn.

[QuarterHorse]

Short of all this covid shit going on the car scene is still going strong in the valley. Still lots car shows and gatherings. Racing has seriously slowed down. WHP and their stupid restrictions sure makes it hard to want to go there. Tuscon isn't much better with curfew restrictions they just imposed. Snow...you can keep it lol.

Racing was falling off when I left there in 2012. I remember Firebird being very busy before the real estate crash.

[QuarterHorse]

Like I said before, been away from the drag strips for too long. 2012 would have been around the last time I ran the Pinto and that was at Speedworld...may have been before 2012. There might be a new dragstrip in Az before too long. Kingman has been trying for years to get something going but everything seemed to fall through. They finally revived the Kingman Street Drags last year. I was getting this Mustang ready for that race when this covid shit caused the cancellation of the race this year so it should be back on in 2021 hopefully. A few guys in Lake Havasu are in the early planning stages of a track in Tupac. From what I understand the land is donated or being sold at very reasonable price and some investors are lined up. This was tried a few years back but last minute the land owner got super greedy and like tripled the price of the land so that fell through. The track would be great for Kingman and Havasu, would be about a 3-4 hr drive from Phoenix.

That's hard to watch. I loved going out to Speedworld. I have my doubts it will ever live again.

State Trust land so if it were to ever happen, it wouldn't be anytime soon. Hopefully it never happens.

14 years or something like that...what's that in dog years lol? 72-88 depending on the breed:biglaugh:

[QuarterHorse]

That's definitely an old thread lol. I need to get a pic of my newly finished 2 year project. Going to the street drags in Kingman in a couple of weeks :bounce:

[QuarterHorse]

How it started to how it finished.

[BurnTire]

Nice what does it run?

[QuarterHorse]

Fresh build, hasn't been to a track yet. The street drags in Kingman will be its' first outing. It has an approx 400hp 347, full manual reverse C4, 8.8 with a spool and 4:10 gears along with 35 spline axles and C-clip eliminators and rear coilovers. 10 point cage and completely gutted. If I can make it through the weekend and not break anything...I'll call it a successful weekend.

[QuarterHorse]

We'll see tomorrow. We're headed to Kingman this morning for the drags. Had the transmission in and out twice chasing a leak, finally fixed it. Changed the oil and it had a hint of glitter. At this point I'll drive it till dies.

Well, Friday was a mess. Only made 1 run and had issues. Normal slow driving around everything seemed fine until you hammer on it. Had a loud "ticking" noise and it was very fast. Thinking I have a pinion angle issue, not enough down angle. I set the angles at 3? initially and everything looked good. The rear ujoint is loose like their supposed to be. I used a set of QA1 coilovers on the rear and it sets lower than factory so I'll do some research this morning and see if I can up with a plan and try it again. The little time I was in the throttle this thing feels like it's gonna be a rocket 😁

The little time I was in the throttle this thing feels like it's gonna be a rocket 😁Back in the day I know I set the Cobra at 2 degrees pinion angle. So 3 should be enough.

[QuarterHorse]

Long story short...I found my noise. When I installed the safety loop it wound up close to the driveshaft on 1 side but had clearance. I never paid attention to the balance weights. Under a heavy load the transmission was torquing over to the passenger side of the car just enough that the weights would hit the loop. Normal just moving the car around it never hit, just while I was on the gas real hard. Due to the noise I was never in the gas real hard except for the last pass but I wasn't in it hard until I shifted into second and just made the command decision to drive it like I stole and if it breaks...I'll know what the noise is. It didn't break. My run was a less than stellar 8.72 and the mph was way off, look at the pic of the time slip lol.

[BurnTire]

Does that say 498 MPH? Car flys. LOL

[QuarterHorse]

It actually says 498 lol. If that were the case I'd be in the hospital or morgue right now due to the fact I would have never been able to stop before the barricades at the end of the track and I don't think I would have made the turnout. We had a full 1/2 mile of shutdown which was nice.
