oo yea kitch he will be ready for your ass kicking when the snow melts....... :neener:

[Xboosted23X]

wow got enough gauges. Do you have a wideband?

[DustinsDuster]

i dont think its enough yet; i think they all need warning lights, heh. good job though; cool to see the progress

[FiFdYnUtZ]

gauges look like a little overkill...

[Domestic Disturbance]

:biggrin: Lookin good Johnny

[stangvortech]

yea that is why we call it the cockpit....lol I think they all are import to have except maybe the narrow a/f.(trans, boost, fuel, oil)
no wideband it would mess up the cockpit flow with a odd gauge in there so I never got one and now I will have the light show. I dont do any of my own tuning so I dont have to have one.

[bowtiebuba]

that entire car is over kill and thats why I like it

[69gt4speed]

I always wondered what those gauges looked like, always had crappy pics or something... So no pats? def sleeper look there.. you still got the v6 trim on? Did it need a hood? I never saw the finished product you know Johnny.. First thing we need a vid of you whppin my azz on spray... Post it up here, get ppl motivated as far as a d/d goes. You know smack the ford crap around if they can..

50 is working hard on it. Hmmm a lil bird said Scotty is moving on up w his d/d. I am glad I can give just the right amount of crap to not hate but take me down. The old dog has had plenty of good days and found a bone.

[stangvortech]

Yea, the lunar gauges is where it is at. I have the pats turned off so I can run all my different parts. I drove it back from St. Paul and then put here away for winter. Spring time I'm down for lots of runs, you can be my first one too. I don't know if I will take ya Rob you can't be beat!

Here is what is looks like right now I still have a lot to do to it but it is close for its new tune.

[DustinsDuster]

hard to tell in the pics- did you upgrade the brakes as well, or are those stock still?

[stangvortech]

Those are stock. I have a baer brake kit in my room I need to get them on some time.

[DustinsDuster]

it kinda looked like there was a slot in the rotor on the front; but couldnt tell. bigger brakes will look awesome with those wheels.

[stangvortech]

yea it has drilled/slotted brembo rotors in it right now. Here is what my new setup will look like.

[69gt4speed]

i'm telling you guys, Johnny and his dad really did well... Btw lol you should kick my azz as my car sits now...might need to put on stage 2.. I want the highest eaton whp upper only 03 in the states. 600+ is the goal...

[JacobS]

is that a kb supercharger? its looking sweeeeeeeeeeet :bigthumb:

[black88gt]

you should run w/ that pic and put velocity stacks going into the blower

[XR4LIFE]

damn those pics are old haha, the '94 is in the garage, now get your hood painted :vom:

[stangvortech]

Yea, the car should run well if I can 60ft and it weighs to much too. You car will run crazy fast with a second stage. I think you can hold that highest eaton record too! :WORSHIP: :bigthumb: You should put togather a nitrous kit like mine for that. :)


is that a kb supercharger? its looking sweeeeeeeeeeet :bigthumb: haha nope just a stock eaton :yawinkle:

haha

Yea I will try and get some new picts here this week.

[Mufflover]

looks prety darn good man

[stangvortech]

thanks muff it is close

[Scott]

That thing is badass man!! Those gauges look cool I think. Rob I havent messed with my cobra yet, theres a little oil leak on the front driver side of the engine I need to find one of these days, the engine compartment is just soo packed in these cars Im really not looking forward to it, looks to be near the power steering above the oil filter. I cant afford to do much on my cars this winter since I lost a roomate the mortagage is killing me. Probably just gonna leave the cobra alone, maybe subframe connectors and some IRS work I think

[stangvortech]

Hey Thanks. Yea, subframe connectors will help a lot I got the kenny brown extreme max ones. I have to get H&W weld them in still. Every thing is a pain to work on on these motors but it is worth it. You should post some picts of the cobra I have never seen it.

Most likely Scotty its the oil cooler adapter weeping out some oil.

Geeze, from the looks of things...now you can pay me back for being an Asshole in Cedar Falls a few months ago before I knew it was you :butthead:

Sick I did not know it was a 10th I love that interior! What do you all have done to it?

[K-ville]

Sick I did not know it was a 10th I love that interior! What do you all have done to it?
when it left my stable it was 2.8 pulley catback exhaust jlt cold air and had a programmer

[Scott]

Hey thanks for posting pictures man!! Those are some of the better pics I have of it too. All I did was put a clutch quadrant and firewall adjuster on it so I could adjust the clutch, I think its getting close to worn out, it can be a treat to find that 3rd gear sometimes. I was thinking of changing trans fluid to see if that would help too. The car really needs some drivetrain and chassis work before it gets more power IMO, and those 19's dont hook worth a crap anyway but thats half the fun. Its just a fun DD car is all. Once it gets payed off then I might try something with it ;)

[Domestic Disturbance]

thats scotts car john, I know you've seen it before.

yea the 19s are look only but they are what sets it apart from the look of alot of cobras. and yea do some mods and make it a daily driven highway monster but if you cut that car up ill cut you up! haha and thats not a threat its a promise

[stangvortech]

thats scotts car john, I know you've seen it before.

nope I have never seen the car before.......

[black88gt]

thats scotts car john, I know you've seen it before.

nope I have never seen the car before.......

ya you have

[Scott]

oh dont worry man it wont get cut up!! The fox body is a salvage title 4 cylinder coupe so it started out being worth dirt anyway, Im really liking the monster twin screw blowers they are coming out with now, instant throttle response and it will still have that factory look to it too. I doubt I'll even touch it except for maintenance and fixing stuff for a couple years anyway

[Scott]

maybe exhaust though, its pretty raspy at a certain RPM right now as you know Im sure.. and it doesnt fit as well as I would like either

[K-ville]

it never really bothered me but at the time there werent alot of choices for under a grand

[stangvortech]

thats scotts car john, I know you've seen it before.

nope I have never seen the car before.......

ya you have

haha what? oo yea where have I seen it lol??????? I have never seen the car before that is a fact.

Yea, I got a catted h pipe which helps a lot to not make it raspy and my exhaust dose not fit worth a shit either. I got to take it in and get that fixed to. Scott you are a nitrous man throw some pray on it. lol

[Scott]

I am tempted too, with all the nitrous bottles I got sitting around it would make sense too.. but I keep hearing about the tight clearances in these engines and some mythical cooling issues that no one can seem to fix with the rear cylinders. I read of people burning them down with and without that extra cooling tube attached. The last thing I want to do is pull the engine out of this car, looks like a PITA!!! Rob's seems to be holding up damn good though and he beats the snot out of that thing, and both of allgo's cars. I wouldnt be able to activate it till about 50+mph anyway with those tires!! LOL You would think with 650$ worth of rear tires that thing would stick like glue!

[stangvortech]

HAHA yea you would think it would hook for that kind of coin. I dont hook untill 60mph right now. I'm getting the new NT05R when the come out. There is a lot of people running a lot of nitrous and seem to do it safe just dont do any long 5-6th grear pulls and you should not have any motor problems. I have this kit for sale on ebay right now it is the one of the best kits imo.

Here is a pict of my head cooling mod. The guy dose not make these any more though.

[K-ville]

I'm getting the new NT05R when the come out

hit me up when your ready as soon as they are out im gonna make my dealer give me a break on a big order of them

[stangvortech]

I used a quart of mobil 1 syncromesh and like 3.2 qts of royalp syncromesh. Don't even jack w that stupid fill plug, pull the shifter out and pour it in there. Which quad u got scotty? Save some $ and put in that upr click stop fw adj. and upr quick quad it will move the pressure plate back further and quicker of course. make sure you use a modded stock cable.

[Domestic Disturbance]

I heard the Syncromesh doesn't like colder temps. I'm using M1 ATF but its still kinda notchy since changing.

[Deimos]

Then I get to align it when you're done

[69gt4speed]

Then I get to align it when you're done

You align stuff? I got a 03 and a 69 to do....

[69gt4speed]

ha ha I don't know she is sleeping w a trickle charger.. though I have driven it at 15 deg before. You got paper or carbon blockers? fkn lil things that cause grief. There be a pile of parts in a t56... I thought sh-t a c4 has less parts.. There is no thing as a good shifting syncro t56 from what I've heard. Myself.. barely rate it over a stock toploader w hurst shifter. Why I broke t56 sh-t, I jammed it. W 90 wt gear oil real cold temps toploader would kill the engine when you let out on the clutch at idle. So you hit those gears hard on those pos.

[Domestic Disturbance]

Haha ya they aren't the smoothest shifting tranny in the world, but they are still tanks. My B&M shifter doesn't make things smoother either. No idea on what the blockers are made out of. I'd love to feel a tr6060 to compare, they are supposed to be a pretty big improvement feel wise.

[Scott]

ya know I cant remember the brand anymore.. Its a quick release qud though I remember that, and the adjuster is just a normal threaded one with a allen set screw to lock it down. I had to take a rubber bushing off the stock cable for it to work but it seems ok now. For the best shifting I had to set it so tight the throwout bearing was riding on the fingers so I backed it off so I dont wear it out. Its not terrible for crusing but if I decide to race it I would want to tighten it up some

[69gt4speed]

If tremec would of had the magnum out when I broke mine would have bought that, looks lot mo heavy duty suppose to shift better too. Ya my firewall adj. was always coming loose why I bought that click stop. Never comes loose now.. magnum are made for f bodies also, but yea cost $. What Scotty needs in the fox coupe..

[Deimos]

Then I get to align it when you're done

You align stuff? I got a 03 and a 69 to do....

I can do both easily. Even if you have a modified suspension.

[stangvortech]

Lots of people ask about the hand controls here is a crapy pict of it and how it works. Here are also some new picts trying to get it all done for a retune.
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd109/99v6red/DSCF1776.jpg
To stop you push the bar to the dash. To give it gas you push down it to the floor. Yes, I can do both and power brake it. It took me 20min to tell the guys at the shop that installed/ordered it what I need it to do. lol It attaches to the steering colum and has two bars that attaches to the top of each of the pedals.
The shaker is almost done. Still have a few parts to drop off at H&W to get welded. Big thanks to my dad and H&W!!!!!!

[Domestic Disturbance]

scuba steve, damn you!

[JacobS]

cool an underwater car!! thats a very nice scuba tank!

[stangvortech]

yea it will get the job done.

[Scott]

What are you running for a fuel system on it??

[stangvortech]

-FORE Fuel Hat
-Ford GT Supercar Fuel Pumps(2)
-8an Fuel Lines (Teflon coated)
-CPR Fuel Rails
-80lb Ford Racing Injectors
-Lethal Dual FPDM Harness and Cobra FPDM’s
-Aeromotive filter 12335(E85)
It will be running on e85 in a month. It is still returnless.

[Scott]

dam, I was pricing that stuff out the other day on Lethals website and holy crap it is expensive!!!

[stangvortech]

oo yea it is not cheap I got every thing used off ebay or forums and saved a boat load.

[Jappbox]

you have enough injector to make decent power with E85?

[allgo]

80s are plenty

[stangvortech]

Yep, 80lbs are what I need. Should still have room left in them if I want to up the boost too.

[Scott]

That thing is badass, your using the factory intercooler I take it?

[stangvortech]

Yea, It is the factory intercooler under the supercharger. I have spacers in there for the direct port noszels. For cooling I have the Chisel Performance 6 Gallon Intercooler Tank, Lightning Intercooler Pump, AFCO Heat Exchanger (Dual-Pass), Apten Head Cooling Mod. Here is a work in progress pict of it the tank but it is done now.
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd109/99v6red/DSCF1717.jpg

[allgo]

Putting same one in the 03

[K-ville]

looks badass! on a side note have any of you guys seen or better yet run any frozen boost products?

http://www.frozenboost.com/

[stangvortech]

Yea, Joe I saw that one out at your shop for the 03. I wish I had got the pump in it like you did but o well. I have not seen any of there stuff it looks ok to me. You can give it a try k-vill!

[Scott]

Nice set-up!! Have you ran or driven the car at all yet??

[K-ville]

i think im going to give it a shot. I know a couple guys here in desmoines who have them on a couple
hondas and are very happy with them but they have the supper cheap kits with little tiny coolers and stuff so nothin like what i wanna do.

[stangvortech]

Yea I drove it back from St. Paul MN after I got it tuned I put about 400 miles on it before the snow fell. It is a blast to drive.
