Thanks everybody. This weekend I'm going to be driving around to all of the used computer stores in the area. I'm going to be handing out a sheet with pictures and a description of my stolen computers. If the theives are desperate enough to steal a 20lb jar full of change, I'm pretty sure that they are just going to try and sell my computers for cash.  I also figured out that they were driving some old small car. Either a 90-94 Geo Metro, 90-93 Ford Festiva, or a 90-94 Subaru Justy. Those are the only cars that I've found that have either a 145/80R12 or a 145/70R13 tire. (I figured out the tire size from the oily track that they left behind.) Considering the size, it may also have been a trailer tire. I think they would have taken MUCH more if they had a trailer though. I'm praying that these worthless piece of crap get caught. Later, Ben

Right on! Thats the attitude you need. You might just get lucky and the police might find the robbers. Hope it turns out okay.

Good news!!! I got the 2.4" pulley on Saturday and it looks like I'm just going to clear the passenger side motor mount. I'm still to grind some of it off to make sure that it doesn't rub at all. This is soo awesome. Now I will only need one idler pulley and I will have a 2/3 wrap on the alternator and a 3/4wrap on the JRSC. Absolutely perfect.  I've gotta go borrow my parent's camera so I can show everybody. BP

Very awesome work!
I can't wait to see the outcome.
I don't normally check the zetec forum.....it sort of feels like going into your little brothers room for me. lol
I hover in the 3L, FI, Dyno, Brakes forums and sometimes the 2.5L forums.
Anyway, when you get this done post it up in the big forced induction forum so everyone can drool over it.

You bet! I was actually posting it in here to keep it under the radar of the FI guys. I want it to be a surprise. I'd love to post a dyno of my SuperZ pushing 250-300WHP.  It's going to be quite a while before that happens though. Because of the break-in I'm probably just going to run a mild boost setup this fall. I won't have the cash 'til spring for all of the goodies that I need for more boost. BP

Hmmm. Well good luck with it and hopefully you can get the goodies early enough in spring before the spring zing meet.
I'll be watching out for it.

Well, after looking at the setup with you last night Ben i've got just as many idea for your engine as i do my 2.5. If you don't mind i'ld like to stop by again one of these nights with some of my drafting equipment.....I want to design a new engine mount for that thing to get some of the crap out of the way and fabricating from plate steel maybe even lighten things up a bit. Also I was VERY impressed with your intercooler idea...very simple yet effective. ~Josh
