Hello all,
My name is mycarneverruns87.....for serious....I will surrender my birth certificate for your approval...(don't question my mothers motives) I have recently been accepted into the Oppo society where I can assist in the eventual world domination and bring coffee and stuff.....EXCITED! Glad to be here! I am a gear head through and through like most on here as I eat (fruit loops because they are round like tires), breath (only air scented like C16 race fuel), and sleep (in a bed shaped like Lightning McQueen).
Here are my credentials:
I once rode my bicycle down a very steep hill and didn't die
I can tell you what car something is by looking at the badges ;)
I have beat the block dude game on my scientific calculator
I have over 300 Hot Wheels and counting - seriously, I'm addicted somebody please help
In all seriousness I love anything with an exhaust note and a soul. I have fond memories of my dads old 1980 Porsche 911 SC with 4" super-mega drone exhaust, going to the drags as a kit at M.A.R., mudding in my buddies 1978 F100 in high school, my 01 V6 mustang 5-speed that really taught me how to drive, and riding in an 1100hp twin turbo Ford GT #skaybait plus many many more.
My current projects I am working on consist of finishing and LS swap into my 1989 Mustang coupe...total vehicle build. I have been working on getting my Harley Sportster where I want it in the looks and handling department with plans for a 1200 conversion. I am trying to create my "garage-mahal" and am in need of a ton of white paint!
In closing, I hope to be able to share my stories with you and enjoy what others have shared as well. I feel like I am part of something on here.
Thanks, Bj

Welcome to Oppo! When did you pick up your Mustang, and did you buy it as a project car?

Thanks!
I bought it as a stock 4cyl 5-speed roller in Just 2012. I have since stripped it to pretty much a bare shell and replaced 100% of the suspension, 98% of the wiring, and obviously the driveline. I have a 5.3 LS and a manually shifted/stalled auto to go in it.

Awesome, welcome.
And thanks for the BJ (I'm assuming it was a gift, since your birth name is legally mycarneverruns87). ;-)

Can't help you with the HW problem. I can't seem to survive a trip to Target without picking up a couple.

/Obligatory troll post suggesting that the LS belongs in your Sportster to free up the v-twin for your Mustang.

What kind of engine is that? It looks familiar but I can't quite place it. Please give specs: hp/displacement etc.

How did I not know about this sheet before now?
Now I can find out how to bait other Opponauts.

The chief advantage of a Mustang with a V-twin would be retaining your hiding area under the hood.
Building a cycle-car isn't hard at all, it's basically a go-kart and you can tag it as a bike (your donor). Building it safely... slightly more of a challenge.

Don't forget the orange 2002. Also, in non-US markets there is a RoadRCR version of the E30 with rubber tires, basically like a treasure hunt. Look it up on ebay.ca
Send my apologies to your wallet.

How do you get to start writing posts for the blogs, anyway? I can only write for my personal blog, and I don't know how anybody would find anything there.

Sounds pretty much the same... 0-60 time sucked but the fuel economy was great
