lol..I don't even want to begin

Bet R3d trumps us all...

My mod list is smaller but I cry when I add it all up. I sure do grin from ear to ear when the car is kicking sideways into 3rd gear and leaving 10ft patches of rubber on the 2nd gear shift while Im flippin the bird to the vette behind me :)

I cry when I see lists like this and realize I will have to wait 5-6 more years before I will be able to have one that has any length to it. All I can really do now is try to keep it looking nice.

Mine now,

I think that is all. I am pretty much done for now. There isn't really anything else for my car that I have my eye on at this point in time. I need to save up money, anyway.

Then you need to get some spray so you can do it to Z06 owners too. :D

My mod list wouldn't be very long either. I have more stuff that is one-off, but not very many mods in general. Hopefully this summer I can work full-time and rake in some dough to spend if everything gets settled.

I guess I'll give it a shot.

Soon

- Alcohol injection system - $1000ish

What do you have cooling that bad boy? Those good 'ole Heatons suck in some high IATs.

The focus has an SCT tuner and a borla exhaust system

the only thing I did was the tuner and that came from the mustang

I guess new plug wires count too

I will probably be getting an ORP and a email tune from turbo tom on focus fanatics in the near future

Nothing right now. But like I said within 1-2 weeks I will have the alcohol injection system which will keep it cool.

This is a drag only car then.......I officially just dropped you a block on my totem pole lol.

What? No its my daily driver street car.

You realize that the alchohol will run out right and then you will be dealing with heat soak

I love how you said that, haha! I didn't notice that until just now.


Murderin' everything on the street! Paint the truck red so when you run people over, the blood will match! :p



Hell, if we're naming aftermarket parts on cars, my '93 has more shit replaced on it than my '05 does. I've got an assload of money in that bitch, too... just to keep it in good running order.

.....what? It will be activated by AFR or boost levels. Its not like it will be constantly running/injecting.

Exactly. You need a HE at the least, and then run alcohol when you're at the track.

I was about to say, WTF? Alcohol on a DD?

How big a a resevour are you going to have? I have a friend that runs alcohol on a turbo rotary he has and he runs out in a week tops he is intercooled too

I love seeing stuff like this..... Motivates me to make my ol girl faster...... 3:73's and LCA's are next on my list but my whole mods list is in my sig... Nothing special yet...

Balls you had a lot done actually.

Yea, I didn't just toss a 4.3 and some nitrous in and say "alright time to go' it was alot of shit..alot of stuff I'm sure I left out.. springs/bearings/head studs/brakes/gaskets etc...

I didn't have much left that I wanted to do, just put a K member on, fix the transmission, retune, lighter wheels..


I'm pretty sure my MPH would've picked up some, and I may have been able to take the car into the 11s with a better tune and a 150 shot..

If I had the car even longer I would've been looking at a direct port setup and a windstar intake and really seen what I could fuck up..
