That was my first SVT. My current one is the modded car. There is another vortech powered SVT in your area as well. His screen name is SlingerSVT. It's a t-red SVT.
If you ever decide to go with a 3L let me know as I build them and sell them.

That's what most people seem to do here. I just like driving around and checking stuff out.
Tell him to be on the lookout... can't miss my car. As far as I've seen, it's the only black CSVT here.

WElcome. Did you paint your SVT white or did you buy it that way? I know there is another white SVT on the boards that was originally Jade.
What part of MN are you in? I have a T-Red Se done up in SVT gear. I live in Rochester now but went to school in Winona and lived in Stillwater.

I live in Prior Lake but spend most of my time at the U of M campus (Twin Cities). Speaking of, I am working in stillwater on a couple of issues pertaining to the St. Croix and various zoning ordinances around the scenic riverway. As for the car, it was painted white when I purchased it, however it is not the one on the boards.
I'll post pics on friday but the car will be on stands and has not been washed since fall so it may not be at its best. I'll get some nice shots of the intierior though. I'll be back on the road in May if I can fix my moosing problem and do the breaks (provided I can find the time to do it).

whitesvt....you finally found the ceg site....about time!! I met you out at M&M car audio when you guys were dropping your car...you just had the upholstery done....this was when I had my black svt. I've since purchased a t-red about 2 years ago...
I saw your car out at Pieper's in the fall when your vortech $hit the bed. I went back out there to talk with him and to throw a note on your car to get your a$$ on the ceg site as your car is different from what we're used to seeing....white
anyways, glad to see you found us
we'll have to hook up sometime, I'm in Eagan/Lakeville all the time...unfortunately I'm working on some other mods right before spring zing in May....you should go!!!
later

That was Jesse the former owner and also the owner of M&M I think. I was in the market for an SVT with the intention of doing a few mods. When I found out he had one already tricked out sitting in a barn, I made him an offer. As I understand it he intended to run it at Elko in some oval drags but he moved on to other projects before he ever ran it. Needless to say it was a lucky find.
When I had Pieper throw the original serp back on he mentioned someone with the same car had a simmilar setup and had just been in. He was convinced that the vortech was a Ford factory option and that it was in fact a turbo. After some debate I convinced him otherwise and figured whomever had this "simmilar problem" had either an entirley different car or setup. It's too bad I didn't come upon CEG earlier it could have saved me a lot of the trouble of finding things out on my own.
I'm fixin the car up a bit over the winter and it should be rollin by summer but I think SZ is out of the question. Is your vortech still functional and if so, was it a warrented repair out of pocket? (assuming that it failed like the rest) I'm thinking about having a new shaft machined for mine rather then pay vortech the 2000+ they want for the repair. Since I didn't put it on myself and I have none of the litterature for the install, I may need your advice if and when I fix it. In the mean time we should meet up I'm in PL every weekend and don't live far from Pieper's.

Well welcome I live in the area as well. Although I just bought a house on the north side. We should all meet up and have a Minnesota CSVT meeting sometime. Seems like we have quite a few people around now.
