Yeah crying does tend to happen when your vagina lips hang to the ground and get drug everywhere. Probably does hurt quite a bit.

Agreed.

Kawa, if you like fords so much why don't you sell your gp for the ford version. Then super charge the Taurus. BTW Sho don't count.

What does me liking ford's have to do with anything?

All this forum is about is teenagers arguing.

It's funny.
 
Its good to see every ones getting along now untwist your tampons and get back on topic
Every one has there own opinions and views on what a car should or shouldnt be

jdc is putting in time and money on his ride at least repect that
 
wow, what I think is u got a good car there. So it needs some tlc, tranny and what not. You are aware of it and will take care of it when time comes, If u like it go for it, when time comes and u get it painted it will look much better.

That is what I have been trying to get at this whole time.

Thank you.
 


He's paying for parts, putting the time and effort into it, it's his, he got a good deal on it, looks like he has one helluva start on it.......I like it alot.
 
Looking good JDC. I'm interested in seeing your continuing progress with this car. She'll look sharp once shes all done. Looks like $1,200 well spent so far.

BTW, i'm one of the few who will say that they like the 03 limited spoiler. I actully almost went with it for my car before the SLP Gen 1 I eventully went with. Its different and not very common IMO. I see so few Limited Editions out there...

yeah, I love the look of roof rails.



Yea, the 4th gear is sheared... once you get into overdrive it just drops to idle rpms and slips until it shifts back into 3rd. So I just put it in 3rd all the time now instead of D. She drives great, just the gas mileage is taking a beating.. getting about 18-19 mpg.

they are roof fences and if you buy them new about 106 ea..if you ever need the part # let me know.

i happend to love the hood and deck lid and if you got em for 100 your lucky as hell.

Thanks guys.... Yea she is coming together little by little. Want to get it that way I want it before I paint it it the spring. As for the spoiler, I like it better then the stock wing and if I had the money would get the SLP spoiler but for $100 for the hood and wing I couldnt go wrong.

Got around to pulling the S/C, TB, and vavle cover yesterday. Cleaned the TB, MAF, and painted the said items. Also all new gaskets. I think I'm gonna pull the alternator off and paint it silver this weekend.

Also got my yellow foglights in the mail. They look ok, I think I will get that stained glass paint and paint the fog lens so they are a brighter yellow to get that lexus look.

Ordered my DHP v1.0 PCM today also.

Plan on getting headers at the same time as the tranny and install both at the same time.

Heres some pics... dont mind the hood as I am beginnig to start bodywork...

I picked up a $1200 gtp...I've already had to rebuild the motor...I'll start a thread when I get more time...
 
So yesterday and this mourning I took it easy on my commutes to let the new S/C and TB gaskets "break in" so I didnt make a lb of boost. Anyways on my way home from work I went ahead and WOT onto the highway up to 70 and to my surprise I gained a lb and 1/2 of boost. I was running 9-9.5lbs before now its running 10 and hitting 11 just before shift.

Thinking maybe the old S/C or TB Gasket had a small leak?!
