What did you do to your car today?

Put it to the floor @ 28, kept her rear about 3"s to the right, banged 2nd and off to the left maintaining another 3"s and finally let off at somewhere around 55 (totaling probably 150' of pure fun..)as 3rd was about to chime in on the fun. Tires barely into a spin the entire time, gaining speed too quickly, had to back off.

God why didn't I listen to everyone around here soooo many years ago and get these Nitto 420's sooner? I drove a comparable car not too long ago and the wheel spin with his BFG's was utterly STUPID. Like dancing on ice! These Nitto's hook like no tomorrow!!!

Did I mention I only have a couple line lock burnouts, and well over a couple HUNDRED normal roll out burnouts since April this year when I installed these? Well not only is that true, but they still look NEW!!! NO B.S.

So what did I do to my car (last night)??

I enjoyed what I built and shredded just enough stress to keep on staying sane.

Hey Bob, what size are these tires? I can't hook with the 555r in 295/45 at all.
28MPH On the street if I mat it I'll be in the woods.
 
OK, its been 6 years since I have done anything- so I visited for the first time Mo's Speed Shop in Ga. and we did the following. Some normal maintenance and then some new add on's that I have been wanting to do for a long time.

1. Added / installed rear Cooling Mod Kit , from Muscle Merc-

2. Added / installed New Line Brake.

3. Added/ installed new stainless steel brake lines--all 4 tire areas.

4. Changed/installed new Aeromotive Fuel Pump.

5. Replaced K/N Air Filter with new one

6. Replaced Fuel Filter with New one (Already was in-line type).

7. Turned Front Rotors and scrubbed pads.

8. Re-Tuned

Yep--Jeff, Brandon, and Jim Bo did a great job at Mo's. I especially was pleased with how well they look over your car while handling other cars at the same time.They seem to be always involved with moving cars around the shop from one fix area to another --with about 4-5 cars being looked at continuously throughout the day on various parts/points of service work.

And they did not forget anything that was needed or to do what they said they would do.

SO now I have a new set up that I need to re-learn --especially the line brake--such a fun toy--ya'll really should get one if you don't have it!!

My tune*** stayed the same far as HP and TQ but Jeff totally changed the entire set up on the shift points and getting more at a later speed than previous.

(*** Jeff told me a of an issue I could do that would make it--'"really bad" that we didn't get to do --so maybe at a later date--now I have it filed back in my mind all the time)


SO driver training is in effect for now--can't wait for Z-Maz ( my local track) to open up next year--plus I have never run there--so I will definitely will pile on the runs there now--will post later then what this all turns into then--

Just plain old 255/55/18's! I shouldn't say "hook" I should say the tires don't spin completely out of control like the BFGs. Hell, they even end their traction loss in a loud squeal! On some pavement it bites so hard it almost feels like intermittent tire on rim slip.

I took my newest employee out on a parts run and showed him what happens when I mat it at 30, then at 45, then from a standstill. :drive:
I don't think he will be telling me how fast his roomie's 5.0 Fox body is anymore:burn:

Well Marauderers long time I do not post here, well I wash and clean BP74I and do a Engine flush plus oil/filter change and some cosmetical changes to it. plus other mods in schedule to sound equipment, but due to some problems to post pics here i can't show the pics in my thread. :(.
 
Yesterday, put in new plugs and rearranged intake tube + gave her a bath.
Today, vacuumed interior, treated tires and took care of some exterior scratches.

Now its raining cats and dogs :(
 
Installed a Pioneer AVIC-X940BT and the Pioneer back-up camera in the MM.

Will have an Escape Audiophile unit and a reQ-5 sound processor up for sale soon.
 
Not the Merc but I took the stainless letters out of the back bumper of my 03. They were installed when I purchased the car. I couldn't stand them.
