A little fun with 58,000lbs of thrust and a Ford Mondeo and Citeron C2

The ultimate HPDE pig. I want a race car, and this will never be a cost-effective race car. It was fun while it lasted though...

The details:
~140k miles
VG30DETT (300hp, 300 ft-lbs)
Automatic climate control (digital, bitches!)
In-cockpit adjustable suspension
Leather seats (driver's is power adjustable)

Upgrades:
JWT POP Charger,
Howe Racing Radiator,
Nismo Radiator Cap,
Unorthodox Racing Underdrive Pulley,
300 Degree Brake Master Cylinder Brace,
Carbotech Panther Plus brake pads (front + rear),
Stillen HICAS Eliminator,
Energy Suspension Poly Bushings,
Stillen Quad-tip Exhaust w/ H-Pipe,
Greddy Turbo Timer,
AshSpec C-Class ECU,
Megan Racing Split Downpipes (not installed),
Megan Racing Testpipes (not installed),
Top-Speed short shifter (not installed)

Despite the aftermarket ECU, I haven't turned the boost up. The cheap way to do that is to install welding tips in the wastegate actuator lines. The right way to do it is to buy an EBC. Either way, you're looking at around 14 psi on 93 octance pump gas, and somewhere around the 400hp mark (at the crank) :twisted:

Maintenance wise, this thing is finally in good shape. 120k maintenance was performed (timing belt, cam seals, front main seal, idler pulleys, water pump, thermostat, etc, etc) last winter, I've also redone most of the engine EFI harness with new connectors and wrap. Lots more that I can't remember.

So, as for the price - with *all* of the upgrades listed above, I'll go $8000 OBO.

Pics to come.

I need 4-wheel drive and an extended cab, and this truck just isn't even close to it.

The details:
107k miles, between "Fair" and "Good" condition according to KBB.
5.8L V8 - (240+hp, 340 ft-lb)
E4OD transmission, 4.10 Trak-Lok rear
2 (!) fuel tanks (400 mile range)
Tow package (hitch, tranny cooler, electric hookups)
5,000lb towing capacity (tows the Z just fine)
Lightning bucket seats, with power adjustable lumbar and side supports
Custom center seat

Newish Sony headunit (CD/MP3), Mickey Thompson wheels, Yoko AVS S/T tires (new in March!), slotted front brake rotors, Hawk HPS pads, braided lines, Flowmaster exhaust, bed liner, and hard tonneau cover. Framed SVT certificate and Lightning dealer brochure. A/C was deleted.

KBB private party value is $4850 (Good condition) - I'll let it go for $3500 (firm) to any paid MM member, because I want it to stay in the "family". And you have to let me cry on your shoulder before you drive it away

Pics to come.

HAHAHA

The turn in question is at Cadwell park, and that's supposedly the fast line (minute 1:43)...

Set to a song I really hate; but pretty good footage (crappy quality tho), gives a good sense of the speed of the cars. Too bad no footage of the fight in the stands has showed up (me, RJ and Mikey were like 10 ft away)

He talks about the RC211V development, the new riders, and how much of a bitch Biaggi was :lol:

That was talking to me about some muffler shop in lynchburg...I cant remember his name, but, he's from madison heights/lynchburg area i think....if you are reading this, and you are that person, please say so....also...can you get in me in touch with the muffler shop guy? kthx.

My GF's dad, Jon, is getting a helmet for Christmas. Which is better? The reason I picked these two was because they were available in Auto-X beginner packages and they seemed like good helmets. I was actually about to get the M2. Long story short. Do any of you guys have any particular insights for Auto-X beginners.
