I guess they are trying to get everyone pumped for Crysis....

Fail.

Yeah, I didnt leave the house. Ive been working on trying to get Halo 2 for Vista to run on XP

Aight.

I will most likely show up later (if it's not raining), but no dinner.

Thorne says hes not going, guess Im not either...

Dinner at the lube, then the usual hangout/planned dig/roll races? I am about to leave work.

Hahahaha they are all about money.

Its always a factor, even at 30-40 mph. Especially when you hit "The Wall", and are looking for things that will shave your time off.

The TII hood may or may not clear. I dont think it will, because the cam gear is further ahead than the hole for the intercooler. There will most likely have to be some sawz-all-ing like in JP's project. As for the aftermarket hood, I would really like to try to avoid having to put something like a cowl induction hood on the car, which would make it look ugly as hell, and would sort of ruin the aerodynamic for autocross.

Happy Birthday, make sure you eat a bag of Doritos today.

Ha ha ha, Homestar Runner....seriously. Hey Strong Bad...I am in your house...

Yeah, it is definitely yellow. Like that FD yellow. It doesnt really bother me, I kind of like the color. In other news, Ive been doing some more research on the motor and mod options. The DOHC Volvo head swap is getting more popular, but that would really raise the complexity level of this whole project, so I think I may avoid that. Esslinger's heads are way to expensive, and its hard to justify spending that much money on a ford 2.3. I still think I will try my hand at home porting, because if I screw up, the heads are a dime a dozen. I also found out about the major hood clearance issue with the stock FC hood. Havent figured that one out yet, still trying to MacGyver ideas in my head.

Both GM and Ford have some sweet functional concept vehicles laying around. Ford has a V10 03 Mustang laying around.

If they happen to have a 4 cyl ranger there, Im down.

Ewww... Sam likes 101 year old men named after car websites...

Nice job on the..uh..job find...blower perhaps?

Funny....I was about to say the same thing about you... And this guy couldn't be more of a prick to board goers if he tried...

Bahhahahahahahaha

Your comments get more juvenile by the day. Must be running out of material....

That is neat! Ford had plans for a DOHC 2.3 Turbo that was going to be in a special edition SVO, but they never got around to doing it. http://www.fordturbo.com/dohc.html

...working on it....

And you can! For a one time fee of $500, this piece of racing history can be yours!

It was yellow in the pictures I saw, but the pictures I saw werent of the the FC, they were of a 240 SX, the FC was in the background. It may be white. The pics were kind of bad. Even if it isnt a 10AE, I wont be paying very much for it.

The 10AE I am looking at is pretty nice. Its yellow, and doesnt have an engine or tranny because apparently the kid that bought it blew it up. The new owner tells me that the body is in really good shape, and it has leather interior.
