hello hello, anyone out there?

Old post whore is still hang'n tight.:D Just came in from cutting down (2) 30 foot dying pine trees. And dragging them to the burn pile. Yes I will be adding to Global warming soon. :confused: Needed some liquid refreshment you know. This is hard work for an old man!! STD has been very silent today. Maybe he broke open a new package of Viagra. Want's to make sure he get's his money's worth. :rofl2: Or he forgot to buy his "Depends" this week and can't get off the pot!!

Well I've been doing real car guy stuff.....:poke:Took the stang in to get the hood shot last night and got it back this afternoon ....and it looks good....:metal:Hey anybody interested in a set of CDC hood pins let me know I had them leave them off after the hood repaint...They just didn't look right to me on the Black ! I'm going to have the body shop put the stripes on since the only info I could get out of TopGun was drink beer....:jester:

Good work old man!! :banana: Are your stripes going to be pasties or painted?? :dunno: My next mod just bellied up tonight. The taxes needed some adjustments and did not turn out like first thought. Not going to be gears or a new torque converter this month. Just ordered a new set of Magnaflows from Brenspeed tonight. Wife drove the car today to Ziebart to have the undercoat and paint pertection redone and came home and said the exhaust sounded like poop. :mad:Confirmed what I have thought since I installed the longtubes. Very, very raw sounding. So I will install the Mags and if I don't like that sound it will be a custom made Prochamber on the extra set of H pipes that come with the OBX headers. Will this exhaust crap never end???
Scott:shame: http://www.brenspeed.com/mustang_2005/images/15882.jpg

Hey! bro I know all about the friggin IRS I got hammered last year ! I think those Mags will give you what you want.....Well I hope ..Sad to say, its never going to sound like that 390 big block in the green beauty you got..:( The stripes I have are vinyl, official Roush dark Silver, the same ones they put on the Stage three's The Guy that owns the body shop that shot my hood ( I've known since High School ) kept telling me about how good my Stang sounded ! then I told him that was the 4th set of axle backs I have had on it and getting ready to change the cross over and cats and he looked at me like I was crazy.... things we do to these cars that we take for granted others think where nuts....:rofl2:

This the Same Ford dealer were I test drove the 2004 Cobra last year it was a custom build they did ! it was turning over 600 hp at the rear wheels .My wife had drag me off the lot, I was going to buy it.....:grin: Their A Saleen and Roush dealer too ! I take my Stang to them for TSB's they don't even flinch at my puny mod's...:rofl2:

OK all you Homo....sapien's I'll break the friggin' ice this morning...what a bunch of knuckle draggers....:grin:

morning Folks....any one have a picture of the rear axle bump stop on a stock suspension? Just want to see where it lines up with the frame or where it actually hits if its ever bottomed out.

of course I want to see it on the car :grin:

Super D-Duper GT/GT500 driveshaft
 

Here is a photo of Robert with our latest innovation for Mustang owners.
It is our Super D-Duper driveshaft. Here is a list of it's benefits.

• Guaranteed to smooth out any humps in the tunnel simply by installing and test driving, no more laying on your back with a ball-pean.
• Automatically relocates any e-brake brackets or muffler clamps that might be in the way
• Guaranteed to catch the wandering eye of any talk show host/philanthropist that you might be trying to impress

Any interested parties must call for pricing, unfortunately this one does not come with Free UPS.

ha ha you said pot http://www.dodgetrucks.org/forums/im...con_smoker.gif

thats a dam fine looking shaft

That one looks to be about the size of what we use at work on our F750 de-ice trucks.

Dang, not sure what's more scary- that shaft, or the dude holding it that looks like Jason from Friday the 13th movies. :poke:

:grin:

Oh great avatar too.... I get it!

I am wearing my Captain America helmet to impress the old dude,lol. Also in case Spyderman decides to come here to kick my *** and walks in asking which one of you guys is Robert I'll just point at David!:lol:He won't know what I look like.:banana:

Actually, he's wearing the helmet because in real life he resembles our avatar.
Thanks, David

I found one

That is one mean looking shaft Robert, have to agree with Tom, you could scare someone in a dark alley dressed like that:lol:

Scott,
You'll have to post some sound clips after you install. Nice to have someone who'll volunteer being the guinea pig:D

STD,
Are the hood pins pasties or real?
Might consider them myself.

Both STD and 70MACH1OWNER have been quiet today... must not be any internet access at their family reunion. :poke:


:grin:

Fuel pump in my car is done, car runs very strong. It's now ready to put the intake and tune back in and go racing. :grin: The fourth wheel showed up this afternoon while I was gone picking up my car, I now have a matched set ready to get tires mounted on Friday and be put on the car. :banana:

Yes whats the degree of pinion angle of that John Holmes model...:poke:

Post that pic and you wont have worry about anybody want to kick your butt ! Well except 70MACH1OWNER I think he still wants a piece of you !....:poke::rofl2:

.....:rofl2:

I did post this morning but nobody would reply.... So hump Yah!!:poke:

Post some pics when you get them mounted !!!.....

I'll have some photos most likely on Saturday. :grin:

:nice:

Scott,
You'll have to post some sound clips after you install. Nice to have someone who'll volunteer being the guinea pig:D

Hey Larry,
I will post some before and after sound clips.:nice: I pickup the car up from Zeibart tonight and they told me how awesome the exhaust sounded. 24 hrs earlier my wife told me it sounded like poop. But they only heard it at start up and idle.. not at that dreaded 2500 rpm range. (cackle city) Brenspeed did not have the Maggies in stock so I am not sure when I will get them.



Hey Justin,
Sounds like things are coming together for you finally. As others have said...post some pics of the new wheels and tires!!
Scott:nice:


When do you sleep? You post at 2:30 am and than at 6:00 am. I hope your bowel movements are more regular. :grin:

End up sticking with the black ones?

Yes, I'm keeping the black ones. It's going to look slick. :banana:

Sure will! Are you going to the Chicagoland mustang club meet and greet the 19th?

I don't know yet about that, depends on if I go to Byron this Saturday or on the 19th, need to see what the weather does.

When do you sleep? You post at 2:30 am and than at 6:00 am. I hope your bowel movements are more regular. :grin: Scott, on the Planet I come from we don't need to sleep !...:nice:

Hi John, how are things! :nice:

Can't wait to see it! :D

For some reason, I believe you....... :rofl2:

Scott,
Forgot to mention, if you need me to come down & install those axle-backs for you, just give me a yell:poke:

Is that what Ben is running?

:rofl2: hahaha Larry! :grin:

Things are good here. Got a 3 day weekend coming up. :drunk:

excellent!

For some reason, I believe you....... :rofl2:70MACH1OWNER is from another Planet too ...yep thats right !....its Uranus....:jester: You got to admire dudes from SW Ohio...Where the men are men and the sheep are scared....:nice:

What!... who said I am installing this ?http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/0/9/5...70725080_o.jpg

Thanks for the offer Larry but I have done this mod a time or two.;) They about fall off on command any more. Ben is running Flows.

Good one Scotty.:nice: You are hopeless.:)

See, I knew you two are brothers. ;)


Yeah right, we're gonna believe that some old dude that was afraid to install a driveshaft has the nuts to install a N2o system. :rofl2:

Morning Dudes

Tom I'm a child of the 70's ..The N2o system isn't for the motor, its for me! heres the rest of the system I have planned I'll be flying and never have to leave the drive !....:nice::jester:
http://www.specwargear.com/images/Up...50-JSGPM-1.jpg

This is probably old news about spark plugs, but it is interesting...

http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums...howtopic=22816

Yep its been posted here! it tells you Ford known about the plug issue for sometime .

Well, I have 9,000 miles on the car - perhaps I should take them all out and apply the anti-seize...

Just be careful, to much anti seize can cause problems too ! heres how I'm going to deal with it ! The one piece Brisk plug..

How much are those?

There not cheap two different types one for up to 450 hp and one for FI applications Steeda's selling them for 16.99 a piece

Yikes!!!

I think the last set I bought was for my Bonneville - $1.69 each.

I just put new plugs in the Escort for a total of 17 bucks for the set, Autolite Double Platinum.

:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:Tom,
STD wasn't afraid to install that driveshaft until the old indian dude started spinning webs in his head with his new age math!:rofl2:

hahahaa OK I stand corrected! :rofl2:

Hey Robert,
You are beating this to death. My math was correct on the change in angle of the lower control with spring drop. The effect of the change on the pinion angle was less than I perdicted. I have said and will say again I was wrong. You continue to give Ron Lenord of Spydershaft a lip beating when ever possible. You have also made me sorry that I let you put me up to asking Ron in the driveshaft thread what effect spring drop has on pinion angle. I for one am just glad at least one driveshaft manufacture spent a few hours doing some research work. And than when I gave Ron kudos for his efforts you had plenty to say again. In the future when you have issues with anything that Ron posts that you don't like please don't ask me to get involved. Take it up with Ron. Do your own dirty work. I am happy with the product I purchased and I know your customers are happy with your product. I am sure I should have handled this through the PM system but I don't always do the smart thing. I have never posted or said 1 bad word about the Shaftmasters product and will continue that. But let it die man.
Scott:nice:

You know how to stir poop !.....you a bad man.....:jester:

Where's the Love....:dunno:

Just poking fun @ you Scott,axle-backs are the easiest thing to do on these cars next to a CAI

Have you or Tom any info on Brenspeeds spring Dyno day?

Geez, I don't know...... maybe someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I didn't take Shaftmaster's post in a derogatory way at all, thought it was just us midwest guys picking on each other again. :dunno:


Nothing announced on the spring event yet Larry...... I'll keep everyone posted when I hear anything. :nice:

I know you were just poking :poke: fun at me Larry. I got an email that Brenspeed shipped the Mags today. My guess it will be Monday before I see them. I hope I can make you JEALOUS of my new exhaust sound. :jester:

Geez, I don't know...... maybe someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I didn't take Shaftmaster's post in a derogatory way at all, thought it was just us midwest guys picking on each other again. :dunno:

I know, I didn't think there was any malice meant in Shaftmasters comment ...:dunno: I've got two theroy's, these sydershaft guys are some kind cult members..:jester: or its that time of the month for the sheep in SW Ohio and MACHMAN is getting a little backed up...needs to get his freak on !..:jester:

STD,
Those hood pins you had on your prior hood, were they pasties or real ones?
I might be interested in them.

There just the falsey's...if you want them there yours Larry, I believe topgun has the same on his Stang !

there the falsey's if want them Larry there yours!

Good Morning Scott,
OK, enough said. I thought that it was all in good fun, I'm sorry if you took it any other way. I think I'll take a leave of absence for awhile because I really don't want to mess up the harmony on this forum. Hasta luego baby!

Where's ...Cody at ?............Did the grump run him off too !...:dunno:

HOW TO SAVE THE AIRLINES
Dump the male flight attendants. No one wanted them in the first place.
Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers ! They don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss?

The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a 'party atmosphere' going in the cabin. And, of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again, hoping to see naked women..

Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn't need a salary, thus saving even more money. I suspect tips would be so good that we could charge the women for working the plane and have them kick back 20% of the tips.

Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women. Hijackings would come to a screeching halt, and the airline industry would see record revenues.
This is definitely a win- win situation if we handle it right -- a golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset.

Why didn't Bush think of this? Why do I still have to do everything myself?

Sincerely,
Bill Clinton

Bill's priority's have always been in the right place ..:nice: There hasn't been any real action in the White House since he left...:jester:

Well I finally got my chance to be on T.V.
Im sure a few of you have heard about Channel 7's (ABC) Roz Varon, and her, "I love my car" segment she has on the morning news.

Hi John,

We'll be using your car picture Wednesday April 16th at 6:10 am during
the I Love segment of our show. Could you please send me your mailing
address? Everyone whose car is featured on the show is sent Channel 7
gifts.

Thanks,

Gifts too! :nice:
Ill need to set the tivo to record it, as I am never up that early, lol.

Wheels and tires are done! Here's pictures as requested! :grin:

Looks good! You went with 18x9 on all 4?

hell yea then post it on you tube.

Congrats man, that's cool! :nice:


Nice! :nice:

Spring Dyno Day announced
 

The tentative date for the spring dyno day at Brenspeed is May 24.

I like the idea Chris. Wonder if there is any way to get this in place by the 26th of this month. Heading to Florida. Would make for an interesting flight for sure.


Hey John,
That's great. I like the idea of posting it on Youtube so we all can see it. Congrats.




I like them Justin. They look great. With that open design your next mod should be some drilled and slotted rotors to show them off. :nice:



I will surely try and make it. Probably won't dyno since I haven't done anything since being there is Feb. But it would be a good place for a short meet and greet. :nice: For you guys that haven't ever been to one yet it is a great place to get a carbon monoxide fix.
Scott

Thats what I did just last week, Those wheels show them pretty darn good.

STD,
Thanks, what are you wanting for them? I'd actually prefer the 'pasties' in case I change my mind. I've already made 1 big hole in my hood, don't need 2 more.

Those look great Justin:nice:

Got a pleasant surprise tonight. Although the UPS tracking said my Magnaflow mufflers were not going to make it until Monday they showed up tonight. So this weekend (since the weather is poop) I will get the Maggies installed and put the Steeda wheels and Nitto's back on the car. Getting ready for summer!! :nice: I will post some before and after vid clips going from the GTA's to the Maggie's. I hope this will tone down my sound. Since the longtubes it sounds pretty raw in my opinion. Hey Larry...what yet doing this weekend? :poke::jester:

Also, Brenspeed needs to get there business cards and advertisements updated. This is old news. Do all of you know who the car in the pic is?? :poke:

couple more......

:banghead: WTF???

Lets try this again.

Scott,
Nice surprise:nice:
I've going to be working tomorrow early, relatives coming in in the afternoon & daughter's bridal shower tomorrow @ 4.
I was kinda looking for a reason to escape with the boy:jester:
Most likely work again Sunday.
Rough week, I'm on my 2nd rum & coke now:drunk:
With my skinny frame, I'm toast by the 4th:rofl2:

Tom,
Thanks for update on the dyno day, gonna try to get to it. I'm curious what the delete plates netted me + changed my gas brand.

Hey Larry...I know with the wedding $ are tight but maybe you can swing the Prothanes and we can installed them before the dyno day. Some say they are worth 5 X 5. That would get you over the 300/300 mark very easily.
Scott:nice:

Don't worry, there's an updated version that's about ready to be launched.....

[insert evil laugh]


Rum..... yummy! :nice: Hope to see you at Brenspeed's next month.

I'm here....been kinda busy...out of town, and packing....my cable and internet were turned off this week, so I wont have it back at my house untill after the move....work will be my only TMS access for about a month.

Hi Cody, good luck with the move and stuff. :nice:

I went with 18x9's with 255/45's all around, car handles great with this combo. I have some 14" Baer Eradispeed rotors sitting here that will be going on the car Tuesday afternoon. They aren't drilled or slotted though, just plain. It will make a nice improvement in the brakes though. My stock rotors are warped already with 22k on them.

Nice exhaust Scott! Post up a sound clip when they're on the car.

I'm surprised at the rotors being warped. I took mine off after 22k and 2 road track days and about 40-50 runs down the 1/4 and they were pretty smooth still. Just had em resurfaced at work the other day and will set aside in case I ever need to put them back on.

But your car is lookin hot!

'morning, ladies! :poke:

Morning Kid :poke: Check your diaper yet this morning? Don't worry you will graduate to Depends some day. :jester:

Mornin' Another crappy day in the Midwest.

Howdy All


Question for the day. Does anybody run a water temp gauge and if you do what does it read at normal operating temps.? I set my Tuner to kick on at 180 Hi and my gauge nevers goes above that mark. Do I need to let the engine get warmer for a bit more HP or what??

Also its grey and rainee here , they are calling for a light snow tonight.:mad:

Hey Darrell,
I have the Aeroforce scan gauges so I am reading the sensors that the computer sees. I have changed nothing that would effect the water temp. and mine runs 190 when fully warmed up and cruising.
Scott

Cool thanks Scott. I'll think I'll up mine to 190. Also has anybody seem a Moblie mount for a Camcorder??:dunno:

Check you PM my friend!!:nice:

Darrell, my car runs between 190 to 192 using the Aeroforce guages.

Okay guys I have put the Magnaflows on today and I am in love with the change so for. I don't want to type this twice so here is a link to a new thread. Hey Larry...I think I have just cost you another $400 bucks.:poke: I have only driven it 5 miles but listen to the vids. It is day and night!!! And there is zero drone with this set up. Which is OBX longtubes and H-pipe and Magnaflow mufflers.
