freakin rain tomorrow :shame::shame::shame::shame::shame::shame::shame:: shame::shame::shame::shame::shame::shame::shame::s hame::shame::shame::shame::shame:<-----less than 20 :grin:

Sunday: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 76. South wind between 10 and 15 mph.

Only 30! I should have it done by then, or finish in the garage if necessary, then off fishing. :drunk2:

I don't think a 30 percent chance of rain is much of anything to worry about. The main chance of rain will be later in the afternoon and evening anyway.

Well guys another great dyno day at Brenspeed.

On the very first pull when first hitting WOT in 4th, my clutch slipped.... :shame: But after that, the next two pulls were fine. :dunno:

Darrell, I loaded the standard mail-order Saleen tune from Brent and ran the dyno with my 18" DD chromes on..... the car pulled 453 rwhp and 425 tq!

Nice numbers Tom! :nice:

Good numbers. Sounds like your not to far away from that new clutch. What tune do you run most of the time?

I've been running the mail-order tune for a few weeks...... idle is a tad smoother and the power is there for sure. :metal:

morning Folks Have a great day

From Brenspeed?

Hi Glenn! Have a good one! :metal:

Yes, the standard "mail order" tune that he sends out with the Saleen kits. In comparison to the custom tune they did back in January....... The mailed tune is just as strong if not stronger, and my air/fuel on the dyno yesterday was razor flat and hung right around 11.8 to 12.0.

thats good to know. Glad Brenspeed's Dyno when good.

I was at my Ford Dealers Mustang days. They are now a dealer for Saleen and Roush. They had a Saleen S7 and a Demo of the new Raptor. Also they had the Saleen Hertiage (only 25 made) with 625hp, The Dan Gurney Saleen, A Parelli Jones Saleen, 3 Roush R427's, A Black Bullet, A Red Shelby GT 500, A couple of Shelby's GT, and a white Calf. Special.

Tom I found the seats you need in the Dan Gurney

Wow those are some crazy rides..... :nice:

So, how's everyone's holiday weekend going so far? The picnic today was pretty good other than a light rain shower that lasted maybe 10-15 minutes and then it cleared and warmed right up. Overall, not too bad compared with what I've been through before.

Mine is alright...... heading into work now for a few hours though. :(

Just working around the house trying to get caught up. Last 2 days have been great verting days.:) Need to get the yard mowed this morning before the rains come.

Has anybody tryed the Corsa 14311 Axle backs with the O/R H Pipe???

Tom had Corsa's early on. Not sure of the model # though. And I believe he ran it with an offroad X pipe if memory serves correctly.

Yes, I ran them with the Pypes offroad H for about a year. I liked them..... by comparison to the Borlas they are a tad louder and a much more exotic sound; not as low of tone but still very muscular.

If you search the GT tech forum for Borla vs. Corsa, I believe I posted a bunch of vids there last year.

So Borla's with give me a deep tone??

Borlas will give you a lower, more "feel-able" tone that's for sure. That is, using an offroad H pipe. However with Borlas and o/r H, you may opt for resonators like I chose, but I'd try it first and see if you like it without them.

Well I'm going in a different direction with my Exhaust.

Tom sorry to hear about your clutch, that stock one from Brenspeed when for about $80 with the flywheel.

New safety mod


http://www.apexperformance.net/cartg...pid=912&cid=21

Well you have my interest peak about your "different direction" on your exhaust. Have you found an exhaust at half the price...that is twice as easy to install...and that sounds twice as good as all others. Don't leave us hanging Darrell. Your such a tease!!:jester: Tell more.

Well you got 2 out of 3 right. More details later supper is on the table!

More teasing I see..........:bs: And I see you have a birthday coming up in about a month or so. How does it feel to be the second oldest poop on the Midwest forum. :-)

:lol:

I just got home a little while ago from my first day at my new job, it went very well. I passed my CDL exam and got my license changed to a CDL.

Way to go Justin....:nice:I just hope you don't have to buy the diesel fuel !!!:jester:
Scott

Tell me about it, man do I feel my age!!!!!!

Well here's a picture of what I'm thinkin of doing, go ahead and take your best shot at me. I'm just going for a little bigger tip on my stock mufflers and O/R H Pipe.

I'm not familiar with that brand. Got a link?

http://www.aeroexhaust.com/truck_exh...ip_st3040.html

Interesting. I like the look. So are you thinking of adding these tips to the stock muffs? I tried my stock mufflers with my offroad pipe and liked the sound accually. :nice: But the look of the tips pretty much suck!!http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q...mufflers-1.flv Nothing offense about the sound at any speed!!
Scott

OK do you mean Suck or Sick in your above statement????? And which tips do you like or dislike???

I meant the stock tips "suck" your Aerotips are "sick!!!:nice:

hahahhaa, two old dudes talking "suck" and "sick"........ :rofl3:


What's next, you guys putting down the canes/walkers and picking up surf/skate boards? :dunno:

Hey Tom I found a new picture for you

Pics from the 500 Parade - I had two local TV people this year. The weather girl and the sports guy...

Looking good Chris.:metal: She's cute.





I can't wait to see Tom's responce to this post. Probably be muffled sounding.:jester:

Cool Chris! :nice:

You talkin' to Chris or to Darrell? :jester:

Looks like someone is trying to get a promotion into management...:jester:

[quote=70MACH1OWNER;5574764]Looking good Chris.:metal: She's cute.


She took her shoes off so not to damage my seats. I got to see her feet, man, her FEET! Oh, uh, sorry. Wrong forum... :p

Burp ...Fart ! :nice:

moooooooo??

Good Deal or No Deal???

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...SA:MOTORS:1123

Of course it's a good deal.... ;)

At that price it's a good deal. And maybe the dent is well placed where the steering shaft passes by.

Well I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger on a Spec 3+ clutch and flywheel combo.....

You know, Tom got 10% getting you to buy those dly:poke:

Got a few small parts for mine finally; prothenes, sequentials & black front corner turn signals.
Hoping to get the mounts installed this coming weekend. I'll be taking 1/4" off the top of them so I won't have to mess with the Shaker mounting.

Cool Larry. Taking a 1/4 inch off of the Prothanes will be alot easier than what I had to go thru to re-center and lower the shaker. :mad:
Scott:nice:

Have had some vanity plates laying around for years now and finally took a little time to hang them up in the 70 Mach 1 garage. But I wonder what those 1965 plates that Karens dad had and we restored when we owned her 1965 convertible might be worth to the right guy next month ? We could never sell them and won't but if the right Ohio guy was at the MCA meet next month....what may they be worth.? The one plates is still sealed in a plastic bag from the guy that restored them in 2001. They are perfect repo's of the originals.
Scott

Indiana State Police have good taste.

Very neat!!! I see they are driving auto's....:poke::jester: If you want to catch the bad guys I guess.:p

Hey that's not right! I don't work for less than 15%. :jester:

Ah cry me a river..... :p

Good question, I have no idea.... maybe check around Ebay and see if any similar repos are selling. :dunno:

They're driving autos because of the woman's rights movement- you know, because females prefer automatics. :poke:

Hi all. Someone needs to post something today. :p I won't respond to Tom's comments above about my sissy transmission. He must just be in a mood. Opps...I guess did respond.:jester:

Hi Scott! Everyone else must be out fishin' today...... :dunno:

Well someone is out there. Getting ready to spray some weeds in the yard. This is the first night the wind hasn't been blowing 25 mph. Waiting on the wife to get back from D.C. I have been baching it all week.:banghead:

OMG! had one of those follow me into work today!...31 north...I thought it looked like there was somthing hanging from the headliner at the top of the windsheild...must have been the light rig....they are pretty stealth...this one was Vapor Silver too....i wonder if they are all that color?

WOW, you got to haul Angela Buckman around.

Not sure about all the colors, but I know they have Windveil and either Black or Vista.

We have "TWO" :nice:BEN sightings in one night.....What is the special occasion???
Scott

Just popping in to say hi. My GT/CS bumpers are at the painter's, he's working on prepping them now to get ready to shoot the color.

Hi Ben.....

Justin, can't wait to see the finished product!

Nice KR and Challenger articles -

Mornin'.

My g/f seen an Indiana State trooper investigating an accident on I-80 near I65, in an Alloy Stang.

nice to know that the taxpayers get to pay for all that gas used by the Police Stangs...:bad:....they should have gotten Priuses...:jester:

Hey you Midwest bunch...since no one wants to post in "the next Stangstock thread" how many will be trying to make the trip next month?

Yo Its finaly Friday and its beerthirty

Pics??......of the g/f :)

You need to move to the eastern time zone Glenn. Beerthirty gets here earlier!!:jester:

I missed my Shelby meet. :(

I don't have my car back yet. :(

So I am not going anywhere... :(

Are the out of towners staying in Columbus overnite? I am pretty sure we will be coming over, just not sure if we will be staying the night.

Still 3 weeks away...

For you guys, anything, how about even naked in the shower!
I believe its still considered site/work safe.

wow....braveness...

OK I'll be in Columbus and I'm stay at the Marroitt.


How do you tell if headers are just chrome or Polished Ceramic???
UPS delivery my Headers to the wrong address and I had to go find them cuz UPS say they have 8 days to make things right, so tough $hit.
Anyway the box says Polished Ceramic bit the ad was for the Chrome?? The Dent is right on top of the drivers side bank but I can live with it.

[quote=Stoenr;5576101]For you guys, anything, how about even naked in the shower!


Anybody you know????

If they are chome they will look like the bumper on your truck. If they are ceramic coated they will have a more satin type of look to them. Never heard of polished ceramic.

lol good stuff :jester:

I'll post a pic of some one elses g/f just to make it even

Don't know..... hopefully.

Right on!

hahahahaa :)

Right on!

I have a hood complete with white stripes that you can borrow..... :jester:

Seriously though I'm sure it sucks but just wait till you're on the road again- it will look awesome.

If we come, we'll likely stay the night. At Scott's or Larry's house- whoever has the coldest beer. :nice:

Yeah, baby! :)

I know my ceramic coating, although not polished, is pretty dull. I would think that even polished it would not look much like a typical chrome finish. :dunno:

Picture from Brenspeed

I would think those are polished ceramic...... here are my non-polished ceramics:

Big Storm in the Jungle tonight....

Tough call Darrell. But what I know is you can't polish something to an equal texture in the tight places. :dunno:

Yeah we are on alert. I see by the radar they are over you.:( Perdicted to be here about midnight. I hope I don't wish I need a basement!!:banghead:

Looks like polished ceramic to me. :nice:

Holy smokes! Besides the regular flatuance, I thought you gave up on us. Have you installed those stripes yet?

Off to the dyno I go, getting the car dyno'd today in Oswego. :jester:

Is this your first time?

Thats what she said :D

I would guess it was already obvious to her..... :jester:

Well guys I'm officially pissed off..... I have a photoshoot scheduled for next weekend, so I thought I'd start getting the car cleaned up and prepared. My calipers are painted and have developed some chips so I raised the car up and supported it on stands and went to remove my tires.

On the first attempt, the key to my wheel locks shattered! Literally the internal engraving (the part that fits into the lock) just went into a hundred pieces. I managed to get it out of the lock, but the key is junk so now I can't remove my friggin' wheels. I pulled the lock ID card and called the place, and of couse they're not open on Saturdays. I really, really hope I can get them to overnight me a new key for delivery on Tuesday. :doh:

Ouch, that sucks.

Were they this style?

7.00 cant beat it. Plus theres a 6% coupon code if needed.

wow good luck. If anything pound a socket on them to get them off and get the Americam muscle pieces

Well that really does suck. You might want to buy 2 of them so you have a backup:banghead: I would also recommend different lugs. These are what I have. They seem very strong.

Aw shucks - I have a blue wrench that will get those wheels right off in just a few minutes...

Yep those are the ones..... Ugh. They came with the car....

Thanks guys I'll check out the AM ones after I get these POS's off.

Really? Where did you get it.... :dunno:

My father-in-law was the blacksmith at Navistar in Indy and he gave me all his welding supplies when he retired...

Hey Chris...won't that blue wrench mess up the chrome?:jester:
