CB officially retired....

[Drew]

Well guys, not very active on the forum here, but i thought I would share my story. About three weeks ago I found out the CB's headgasket was going bad, and the shop said it would be $1000 to fix it, along with the other problems I would've sunk 2 grand in it to make it run right, so I cut my losses and bought another car. Its a 1994 Mustang, 3.8 liter, pulls pretty nice, and runs better than my Honda. i will miss the Accord once its gone, it was my first car and put every cent I had into it, but the new car is another project for some fun. Eventually the mustang will be supercharged with a built motor. Enjoy!

Needs a drop and a turbo.

well that was a down grade. you should have came to us before you took it to the shop man. $50-60 in tools and you would have had that done in a day.

3.8?? Ah, c'mon. Coulda at least gone for the 4.6...

Those rims remind me of the RSX rims. Looks like an older divorced woman's car.

Mustangs are for the ***.
What a terrible choice you made. IMO.
But good luck. Maybe grow a mullet or something.

shop told my wife $2250 for the tranny in her Elantra, I got it done for $850 total.

and the 3.8 Ford V6's aren't that great for doing performance work to. get a 4.6 OR go oldschool and swap in a 5.0 built from the ground up

I have a friend that's a total Mustang enthusiast. He used to own a 3.8. Even he admits that it's a total garbage engine. I'm not a fan of the color, and it looks lifted... But at least it's clean. It's rare to find such an old Mustang that doesn't look like crap.

The good thing is, it's a terrible performer... so it probably wasn't beat on. It might just be reliable.

have him drop a 5.0 in it and his parents will have wished they gave him the $1000 to do the head
