Currently my Windstar is back in "my garage" after a recent trip to a mechanic shop "Integrity Automotive and Racing" in Prescott Valley, AZ are the ones who ripped my insurance company and myself off like there's no tomorrow!  The last I heard, he had two 2.25" CAT's in my van, they weren't there AND wasn't even close to being finished.  To top things off, I paid them for ten additional hours of labor ($700.00)!  A number of parts they were to be installed, nor even put into my van so I could use them whenever...  I can't put words onto the Internet to say just how "ticked off" (to put in a "G" rated site) I am!  Pretty much the only thing they did was install my new engine and a new transaxle, period.  There are wires, vacuum hoses and wire harnesses all over the engine compartment, some of them I know where they go, others, I have absolutely no idea where they go.  Since this started out as an insurance claim as we ran over what looked to be a like a folded up white blanket, soft looking blankets don't end up ripping a hole in the sub-floor, tranny pan, and exhaust!

The supercharged 3.8 litre that was build by Super Six Motorsports in Georgia.  With 10 pounds of boost and a Snow Performance water/alcohol injection setup the 0-100 speeds will decrease substantially!  I might be in a wheelchair but my converted Windstar will bending over speed limit signs once again!  I just need to get on the ball and get the problems fixed ASAP!

With a Crower cam, ported and polished heads with a three angle valve job, exhaust by Dr. Gas, the 3" oval tubing will then split over the rear axle into two AERO TURBINE 2525XL's giving everyone I pass a hint that "This isn't some soccer mom's mini-van!"  It's much, much more than a 'stock little van'!

It'll start by sucking all the necessary air through a K&N Filter and then into the M112 supercharger which never made it onto an 2003 Cobra as I was lucky enough to find it on eBay for around $500.00, and I see them all the time (used) for under $400.00.  Just talk to SSMS and they'll build you a terrific long block that can easily handle 400+ horsepower!  Just be prepared to shell out the money because quality comes at a price.

My van rides on directional Michelin Pilot Sport 235/50-17 Z rated tires mounted on 17" MB Racing chrome wheels (see pictures).   The tires may have set me back about $287.00 each, but I know that they are built better than any tire on this planet.

When I get it broken in, I'll have some 0-100 times with my G-Tech Pro monitor.  I'll post more then but the engine will be in my van by the end of November or December, '08.  So until then, work on your rides and let the streets rattle!

Here's a link to my web site: www.windstar-sc.com as "seeing is believing!"

By the way; I'm in a wheelchair, was that "supposed to slow down my life and life style…?”  I say, "No way, and no how and it's been over two decades!"  I've lived through more than many people would have nightmares of, I can’t say I didn’t have nightmares the first five years. When you lose a child and not talk to ANYBODY about it, it’ll drive you to think really terrible things that are not good as it was less than two months after my accident. Now I’ve lost half my family since 2003, my father, step-father, older brother, and mother.  I came too close to might give up on but, if you can't take what life has dealt you, get some sort of help.  I nearly hit that "wall of doom" and suppose I'll find a way either through it or, around it someday but I just do my very best to be and, think positive.  If you go to my personal website; www.bruceswebsite.com you'll think that I'm either dead or, crazy.  Crazy, most likely…

If you'd like to help "Donate to the Cause" I would be over joyed if you'd like to help me out! Just go into PayPal and I'd gladly accept anything from one cent to...whatever amount you'd like to donate.  Just use the email address: windstarhelp@gmail.com and you have NO IDEA how much I would appreciate it!  Someday, someway, I will pay you back as I really hate three things: 1. DONATIONS (to me) , 2. GETTING RIPPED OFF ! 3. SEEING "OTHERS GET RIPPED OFF ".  Just because I'm in a wheelchair, doesn't mean that I need money (except this time) as I know in time that I will be able to pay everybody back who donates to my cause!  I think every body would feel the same way I do and I would be the first to help somebody out, it might not be much but nonetheless, I would do what I could. thank you very much for reading my blog. And, if there is anything that I can do for you please do not hesitate in asking!

I do you have for sale the factory upper intake for any "Split Port" Ford V-6.  All of the sensors, the factory throttle body is still on it.  I will take $75 plus shipping to anywhere in the continental United States.  It will allow you to turbocharge any Mustang or Ranger pick-up relitivly easy.if I do need money as fast as I do, I would just give it to somebody or just the shipping, but I'm just really room and needing to get my project finished before I lose my mind, that is lose it any further!  there is a picture of it on my website: www.windstar-sc.com , just look for the tab which says "For Sale" and there are a few pictures of it in my lawn.
