New MM owner here!

Test pic...

Think I figured out the prob with the pics...if this one works, I'll upload the others I have. In this one, you can see the bumper is not snug on the front like I mentioned in a previous post.

I wanted one so bad before the black one fell in my lap.

That'll be my next one. Eventually I'd like to have one of each color.
 
Yay! Finally figured out how to do pics the right way!

Found my 'mod' shop???

Well, just got back from Asheville. I took my buddy to the guy he was buying his Impala from...sweet-looking car, but I told him I'd still smoke his ass...

So, the guy my buddy bought the car from has his own mod/tune/muscle car shop. Turns out, he's the owner/driver of the Honda CRX that is the only import to make it to the finals on "Pinks - All Out". :burnout:

Anyway, he saw my rauder and actually complimented ME! He and his crew saw an MM at a show once and gave it no chance due to it's size...he said he was very impressed on how fast it could be for such a big car. He also said they have tune/cook-out parties about once a month and said it would cost about $400 to DYNO (or is it DINO?) tune my MM...this seem to be a fair price? :confused:

Like I said before, I don't know a whole lot about cars/engines, but am learning more each day. Even though I am a novice, I don't want to be taken advantage of like one. :mad2: Your comments/suggestions are always appreciated and welcome. Is it Oct 12th yet?

$400, does it include the tuner and time on the dyno? Properly tuning a car on a dyno can be $$$, ask me how I know. :rolleyes: Anyway, be careful. The MM is not a Mustang and can not be tuned the same. Any tune should include improvements to the tranny shift schedule and this where they differ from a Stang. 4400# cars run differently with a 4.6L engine than to much lighter mustangs. You also have 3.55 gears from the factory, also different than a stang. If the tuner understands this you should be ok. You really aren't that far from one of the best guys for Marauders, Dennis Reinhart in northern FL. Might be worth the trip to do right 1st time. -OR- you may want to save your $$$ and do mods that require a tune all at once. The 4.10 gears require a tune, but it may be the single best mod going. Night/day difference in the car. I wish I had done mine way before I did. Just keep in mind that this is a low build # car and therefore the parts are more exspensive than say mustangs which are a dime a dozen. Good luck and enjoy. You also have the advantage of having some very knowledgeable guys in your area. I'd take advantage of that. Check out SCCH's Blues Bros car with the Eaton conversion. Shaweet! I can't wait to see it in June.

Contact Mo's Speed Shop, they just did a tune on prchrman's car and he's very pleased with it.

Mo's is a little northwest of Atlanta, prolly about the closest place you'll find that knows Marauders and can do a dyno tune for you.
