hey hoblick, i thought I was getting the door cards and headliner from you in part exchange for the hood...? I need em...

I'm untuned, just run w/ us for the fun of it, ya never know. Or.....get tuned! It's worth it!!!

Everyone, where do you want to plan on meeting and what time? If someone wants to PM us few that want to get together a place/time, to keep it off the board that's cool. Or you all can PM me and I'll try and set something up. So far its looking like saturday night, I'll be free after 9pm, duff said he's free around 11pm.

yep, twin turbo focus w/ a vortech, rofl! PM me when you're thinking about installing it, I've done quite a few, they're all the same.

He also mentioned I might want to change the o2 sensors, is there a way to tell if there good/bad?? And lastly, what tires do you guys recommend? I'm going to just keep the wheels that are on it now and put tires on the 17x8s? A few people have mentioned going w/ 275/40 and either nitto 555r or MT et streets, both street legal drag radials. This car will see no iffy weather, only nice sunny days and nights and I want the best traction possible.

fucked up!!

Not bad, wanna run? I really think it'd be a close race. Dig or low roll? Saturday or sunday maybe?

where is this going on? will fast cars be there? I'm not a user on that site so I can't see....

Anyone wanna meet up for a bite or a cruise/pulls? I'm going to be down with the car around downtown, but willing to drive so call me if anyone's going out. 614-595-5536 Matt

*fixed

I used to have a modded GTP and if you have anything you would definitely be a good run from a low low roll. We'll both have traction issues, but hey, its all good. Unless your intercooled, you know power drops kinda hard around 90ish, so we can do a low roll if you want. Im not far from capital either, haha. PM me

a foxbody, and i dunno weight, but its probably 2800lbs or more, I'm 250lbs so that doesn't help, lol, over 3k w/ me? PM me if anyone wants to meet up at bike night, I might be there.

So hoblick mentioned me probably needing an IACV and explained what it would do if I did need it. And the car sounds like it needs one now, so does anyone happen to have the hookup at a parts store? It looks like its $57 at advance, ain't cheap but if it makes it idle smooth I guess its worth it. Do you guys know if I can flip the mount around on it to get the plug away from the intake tubing? It's currently pinching it and I want to change the intake on it.

Anyone interested in trying to meet up and have some fun before its gets real cold? I want to run a few people to see how my car does now before I get into modding it this winter and I haven't been out in awhile, so it'd be fun. But I don' want to race linn, or anyone else that would destroy me, I'd rather have a few lined up that we both know would be good, close runs. My numbers are roughly 265hp/300tq. Anyone care to meet up in the next week or two?

is everyone welcome or only GTO's?

wish I would've seen this last night, we finally got the car running strong around 1 and I wanted to have some fun but I figured most had gone home.

Hey kyle, you want to run this week or next weekend? or sometime before it gets real cold? dig or low roll, whatever works.

quoted for accuracy, ryan can drive, i was scurred, haha. Thanks a ton man for coming out so late, and taking time to explain shit. Next order of business is to get it tuned and some good tires. :grin2:

+1

I agree on getting it checked out, but who do you recommend to have do it? I want to get it tuned asap, only time will tell. I have no clue how to check the coil/ignition system, lol.

We'll see what we figure out w/ the car tomorrow and maybe we can play?

Alright, so I took it out for a couple minutes on the hwy tonight. Well I think my starter is going, right when I was leaving, and the 2 times I had to restart it on my short drive it made an AWFUL banging/screeching noise. Anywho, the car smokes pretty good, but as far as i can tell its black, like rich smoke. The car doesn't feel smooth, the power feels iffy, like its cutting out or something. Also, its got GREAT low end power in 1st/beginning of 2nd,but then that's when it starts to have power issues. Anyways, here's what I've done since I bought it less than a week ago. Removed hacked install nitrous kit Adjust timing, should be perfect. Changed out to motorcraft OEM spec plugs, gapped at or close to .054 Coolant flush/fill Oil change/filter w/ 5w30 blend I'm going to buy a new fan tomorrow and I'm hoping to get the car reflashed to its NA tune either tomorrow or early next week, maybe that'll help. I'd like to at the bare minimum check the compression. Also, while driving, it started making this clacking noise, or tapping? Not sure, but it sounds like its coming from the rear lower part of the engine. I also pulled a plug and it was black again and the electrode was bent down/almost touching the thing. I know I gapped it at .054 less than 3 days earlier...any ideas?

Should I get an electric fan kit for the car for $125 or just a replacement blade for $25? The electric fan advertises up to 15hp gain, on both jegs and summit racing, but who's had experience here? My fan shroud and shit looks fine, its just the blade is cracked pretty bad, whaddya think?

Where's the best, (read cheapest) place to get them, So far I've found the chrome ones for $80 a set, haven't found the smoked ones though, that'd be nice.

No go on this weekend for me, dug into the car last night and found a few issues that need attention before I'll feel comfortable racing it. Another late night wrenching on the car tho.
