OK guys and gals, to generate traffic to the Iowa forum, I'm putting up my mod list for "auction" for every 5 posts here (reposts, double posts, etc don't count) I'll post up one of my mods that is going on my project car! I'll even start the ball rolling with an interesting piece- 245/45/16 Yokohama AVS Intermediate Tires.

Going at this rate, we'll need several hundred posts to get all of your crap listed on here Ricky! BTW, it looks like crap posts count... post away!

See where this is going? It's not a repost or double post, not sure if it's "etc." or not... Anyway, I know most of what Rick has planned... can you tell I want all of you to know? Spill it Rick...

I figured it would take a while this way, maybe we can get a multi=page thread in our little humble abode! Yes, crap posts do count but only one per person!

Pollo, I haven't spilled all the good stuff yet. I've got enough mods to keep this up for probable a couple weeks easy. Let's put it this way, I put them all on MS word and they took up 3/4 of a page in 10 point type. Also, for those who are wondering, cost of upgrades are more than what I paid for the car! eek

The bastid got a friggin personal loan IIRC, along with parting out the wrecked SVT, and has all or most of the money to pay it off within a few months. Even with the personal loan I'll bet it's cheaper than paying for a 2000 SVT by itself... I think that's why he did this project vs. getting a new Focus to turbo... I wish I could roll my car and come out smelling like a rose too... Ricky, can I borrow the 4 pointer?

EDIT: Wait a minute, mine's only an SE, I still can't afford it. Someone hit me at a stop light please... oooooo, my kneck, my neck...

Watch and learn. Mind if I interject some intuition? Is it really a mystery what his mods are going to be?

Good job on the search rmcd79! We've been in our own forum for, oh, a week now.

Rick is aiming low so he's not disappointed if it comes out that way. I'm really hoping to see near 500 at the crank by SZ... if we can build boost effectively that is...

Yes I'm going to the dyno in Illinos on the 13th of next month, still crossing my fingers that the car is running by then! You can ride out or follow if you like. We'll probably leave around 7 or so.

Gee Brad, spilling my mods in semifore and code now, huh? Hmm, maybe me should put the moderator cap on and do some creative editing! LOL Actually Ryan you missed the mystery mod mentioned in Brads post.

The supercharger housing should be polished...to offset the candy red powder.....maybe I should have not given up so early on my engines....hmmmmmmmmm

It's a little scary taking apart an SC that already has been having seal problems around the boards. The SC should be polished to offset the red on the rest of the car...

EDIT: Ya, what he said...

Hey, This is Chris from north of DesMoines in Johnston, Hyatt's brother Hogan sent me this link.

Well, I am just checking out what I am up agianst in the spring. Kinda impressed I must admit. Until I read through the list I would have never thought that their where that many mods available.

Well, hopefully we can meet up in person some time. Love to see that car run. I saw the video...opps, that sucked. Glad to see it did not ruin your quest for speed.

By the way, nice job on the powder coating, I am looking into a kit for myself. Not sure what to go with yet though. You happy with the results?

Cheers,

Now tell me another mod so I know how much to bet on which car some night downtown.. laugh

I might have to do some research then. An officer told me it was illegal but if it is I know of a couple of cars in my area that could use it.

Turbo- nice to have you on board. I've also got an SAFC, short shifter, and custom true duals. Also, drop me an email at Buckshot77@aol.com if you are interested in checking out the project this weekend.

OK guys, I need someone to make me a list of all the stuff I've posted as I'm forgetting what I've said before.

Cool man! Nice to see another local speed junkie! We need to get some coated parts on that Soup of yours!!!

The coating is very detailed, you should come check it out at Rick's sometime. Or, I work in Johnston (STARC Armory) and live in WDM, I could show them off to you sometime. We've got lots of parts done up waiting to go on his and my car both.

Just FYI, you also need a bead/sand blaster and several dip tanks to get professional results... oh, and lots of practice. wink

hmm.... who to respond to first...well 'Merlin'...

Taillights...Ha, why thank-you for making my day, I needed some humor..Now what was the last pull you made...What was that last 1/4 pass. Well we can save this one for later. But your taillights?, come on, what do you think is going to happen. Oh wait I see, I will look in my rear view, see you car spin around as I Blow by it, and then I will see your Taillights....I see what you are saying, should have clarified!

I swear I am not going to tell your brother anything that I have up my sleve for my supra anymore!!! laugh

Boone...

Starc armouries.. Right up the road from my house. I am on the Jonston FD and wind up in there everyonce in a while. You will have to swing by sometime. As for the powered coating, yeah I know it is not cheap to get started in. But then Again I have spent more than enought on everything else that it would be mearly a drop in the bucket. But I would really like to see a 'home' job to see how they come out.

Oh I have a buddy with 2 SVO Mustangs, the 4clys with the Turbos. He is always looking for some car guys to hangout with.

Cheers All, (except Merlin...you WILL go down this spring, the race is on!! Now do you want a road course race or a Straight line? )

Chris:

Give me a shout on my cell 975-4080 and we can hook up. I'm on the south side, but I'll be in the garage most of the weekend if you want to swing by. As for your buddy with the mustangs, he needs to hook up with the Mustang Club of Central Iowa and I'm also a member of that. They do some pretty fun stuff like cruises, car shows, and lots of driving events.

Hummmmm, one of them SVO's wouldn't be a restored red '86 would it? I think I've seen him. Pretty rare that I'd see one that nice in this town if it isn't him, said his dad had one too... Anyway, I blew this one away last year on the loop in my silver Contour SE sporting a supercharger (back then, I miss it... sniff...). Now I'm Mr. 3 liter with stock exhaust... Anyway, I'll be in my garage tonight and Saturday most of the day if you guys want to swing by. 225-1087 is the home number. No time for me to swing by your place tonight, it's garage night... got to hurry to get home....

That would likely be him, he has one and his dad has one also. One is nice and faily quick, the other really needs some work.

Well, it is the end of the day. I am running home to get some work done on mine if I can swing it. Been saying that for a few months now...err mad

Yeah Yeah... so you got me there... You are right, it is all BS until it is running. It should be a fair match, you will launch MUCH better because you have a live axle. I have a fully indepent rear, great for corners, but sucks for hard launching. Let allone all the Hard ass suspension parts I have for the track, they all suck for drag racing, I need something much softer.

I heard you got yout 1st to 2nd gear shift fixxed up, that rocks, that will help your times greatly, you put down great power, but had some trouble hooking it up last time I was with you, I guess those days are well over. Guess I better not bring the Celica out to Play now...

Cheers, BBQ at my house in Johnston (After the 25th (april) when I move in.

Rick, I think I just named your car... finally. Gowhoagee (pronounced Go-whoa-gee). Because it goes (not yet, but boy will it), it whoa's (once it goes it'll get it's chance), it it pulls some G's (again, depending on the go part). Plus others riding in it will be like this "on your marks, get set, GO! Whooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh

Just sounds kinda cool and it fits the cars image... cool

Rick, I know this is a bad time to be asking, but ill do it anyways. I was just wondering what kind of battery you have in there? I coudlnt tell from the pics that have been posted, or if you even relocated it, which im sure you would have. I just wanted to let you know you need an Optima red top to run all that extra electrics that you have added. It is pricy, but it is worth it, plus i might be able to get you a deal on one.

Stock battery for the moment. Just waiting to get an Optima. Let me know what kind of deal you can get as I might be interested.

Thanks,
Rick
