If I do an IRS, it won't be from a t-bird. So.....I don't know.:scratch:
I'm excited for ya Dave, and if I were close, I'd be one of your team of guys standing by to help with the move.
( only, I couldn't do nothin on account of the knees) :oops:
but I'd be there nonetheless.
 
Oh oh me too. I wish I could help, I have a feeling this is going to be sweet.

Alot of m90 cars top out around 350hp.... but they make 4xx torque.
That's about the range I'm shooting for. With my plans I have, it should do that fairly easy. Anything 300 up hp will be good. I want the torque to be in the low 400's.
 
I'm trying to get my morning working on my car off to a good start.

I think I'm going to rename the blue car. Roby just doesn't work for me for this project.

I'm thinking with the power train changes that Scuby (like Scooby-doo) would be a good name.

Super
Charged
Ugly
Bastard
Y makes it sound cute.

Opinions?

If y'all didn't know, there are no nifty "supercoupe" emblems on the t-bird supercoupes.

I was thinking of one of two things to make a subtle marker on my car.

One, get a custom emblem made for my car that I would put on the deck lid.

Two (and not nearly as likely), Modify my bumper with the supercoupe insert cut from a supercoupe bumper.

Hummm......

If you're not familiar with the import tuner scene, it seems like every single Subaru owner calls their car Scooby... Just FYI.

Dude I am in love with the bumper insert idea!
