Nice '1 of 1' Rob. I really like the Gold theme.

mr-mstng 9/5/04 09:16 PM

Thanks Matt. Funny you should mention that. I looked up the original Saleen spec sheet, and white with gold stripes wasn't listed. :scratch: black/gold and red/gold were, but no white/gold.

Fresh tune up and a new battery. :nice: now all I need is some decent weather. :shame:

Heheh looks like its not just 1 of 1 with the gears!

Very nice looking car Rob. Move down South with us and you could drive it more often. B) :nice:

Rob,

did you put that turbo in yourself? how much power does it make?

No, I bought it like that. I spoke with the guys at Cartech when I first bought it, and they said its a very early system. It has a cast iron manifold, not a header. They said it makes ~ 400hp @ 10 psi. Its a wierd setup. It uses the stock 19 lb/hr injectors, but at an unreal 110psi for the fuel pressure. Over the winter, I would like to put a different fuel system on it, with 36# injectors.

Looks great Rob!

It's one thing to have a unique 1 of 1 collector performance car. It's another thing altogether to have a 1 of 1 collector performance car with a freakin' turbo on it! :nice:

mr-mstng 9/8/04 02:04 PM

Thanks Blake! Now, if I could only figure out why the boost is only going to 3 lbs. :shame:

I just put a bunch of stuff back on that I took off a while ago, and I know I missed something. :scratch:

what, you dont think with 400 HP that those tire will last long do you??? i wore mine out with like 250 ish : )

Dr Iven 9/24/04 02:16 PM

I wear my truck's tires out with only 150 at the wheels!

I'm glad it's getting cooler... the engines down here are running so much stronger with less humidity and crisper air. :nice:

Very nice, Rob. :nice:

Which of your rides is your favorite?
Truth or consequences.

:-D

mr-mstng 11/12/04 06:50 AM

Thanks George! Well, since the Saleen has been somewhat tempermental lately (fuel problems), I'm inclined to say the Mach 1. The ride is nicer, and the power is great!

I do like the ability though to be able drive around normally, and tap the power when I need it. :nice:
