Page2 Install of Trans cooler.
Flowmaster added 3/1/03 no Pictures, just a nice mellow sound.
I just picked up this Grand Marquis to use as a commuter. The local Ford Dealer sold it with 39k miles, 4.6 V8 engine, Very CLEAN condition, Alloy spoked Wheels, great paint, A HUGE TRUNK!
Now, for someone who owns a JR supercharged Mazda Miata, www.miata.cardomain.com/id/redy2rn , I was understandably bored with this car at first, its large enough to live in.
My wife nicknamed it "the tank" and my coworkers call it "the BRIDGE"...but then I mashed the gas, what happened next shocked me... :-) whoooboy!
I formerly worked for MTX, and I can tell that this trunk begs for a Thunder2300 driving a couple of isobaric Thunder something 15's or at least some 12's.
Also plan dual exhaust, Transgo shift kit, Trans cooler,(see page 2), Flowmaster Deltaflow (3/1/03), 140mph speedo, and upgraded swaybars in the future.
They actually drag race GM's and CV's in Carlsbad, CA!
I would like to attend with both the supercharged MX5 and the GM.
Also, I wonder how the GM would do on the Solo2 course? nawww :-)
After owning this car for about a month, I have noticed a very NICE trait when driving it. People driving the left lane of the freeway actually move over as I come up behind them at night! My guess is that they must wonder if this is a squad car.... :-)
Its amazing, tonight, 6 vehicles moved over...I'm ECSTATIC! Now, I'm thinkin I need a nice little CB antenna mounted on the rear deck lid. (grin)
Survey, with or without
OK, new Deal..What a great Car the Merc/Vic is, I couldnt resist another one.
Here is the new one this time a 97LX.
Bought local for el cheap with a few dings, tint, clean, something called "steadfast" ignition (wtf is that?), Single exhaust..bummer! 68k miles
Looking for a throaty exhaust replacement 1 or 2 chamber Flowmaster?
By the way, found a way to convert 8 oz of acetone to 3 gallons of fuel. Dont believe it? check http://www.pureenergysystems.com/news/2005/03/17/6900069_Acetone/
It really works.. my highway fuel mileage went up by average 3 mpg, which makes about 60 free miles per tank (21 gal tank), which is about 3 gallons free gas, just by dumping 8 oz acetone (per 20 gallons of fuel) into the tank. So in summary, a gallon of acetone for $13 bucks at the local home depot, gives me about 48 gallons of free gas.
3/23/07 update, Well, I guess it had to happen, the cheap defective plastic intake that the brilliant minds at Ford Engineering put on the 93-97 models, decided to crack and dump my coolant on the ground. It was real nice of them to offer a free replacement, but only up to 50,000 miles.
I guess they thought if the plastic piece of cr@p made it 50,000 miles, it might last forever, or maybe, their studies showed that most of them crack at 50,001+ miles like mine did.
Anyway, after spending $1,197 dollars with my local mechanic, my Vic is cranking along once again.
Next time I buy a new Ford, this particular invoice will be in my pocket as I negotiate the sale price with some "lucky" salesperson. Fair is Fair right? "you can pay me now or you can pay me later" goes both ways :-)
