    Roush Another Saleen tonneau question.

    The speedster tonneau cover for my SA-20 only has a rubber gasket/seal on the sides and back. The front "waterfall" area, the edge closest to the seatbacks, has nothing attached to it.

    Roush Yet more Saleen customer service woes...

    Okay, here's a story from the other side of things. 18 months after buying my 2000 S/C coupe, I had problems with very high temps with the intercooler. This was 6 months AFTER the 1 year warranty ended. Took the car to the local Lincoln-Mercury Dealer, (had a bad service experience w/ local...

    Roush bought a saleen

    My completely stock (never even changed out the stock air filter) 2000 S/C made 293rwhp/365rwtq. That converts (5 spd car) to about 345hp/430tq at the fly wheel. 5hp less than advertised rating and 20 more ft/lb of torque. That's with the Gen I system. Haven't yet tested my 03 with the Gen IV.

    Center exhaust is also standard on SA 20 and "E'" model Saleens. Its like the 99-00 S-351 system.

    2006 Ford Capri?

    This is the concept car that Ford of Europe displayed in the fall -- it is kind of a modern Capri w/350 hp, 2.9 liter, I6 engine and AWD. :D

    Roush *** A New Club Is Born ***

    SCOA has major events planned for the Mid-Atlantic Region(DC-Richmond) in July and the Mid-West (Indiana) in August. Our Mid-Atlantic Region did a "Turkey Trot" car cruise in November and we have a couple of ideas for this spring. Not everything happens in California. :D The Southest...

    Roush Mounting Of Front Plate

    Here's how I mounted the front plate on my car, using the back side of the front valance. It sits about an inch in front of the I/C radiator. So far, I/C temps have not gone above 160. The local police like to do vehicle registration checks, so I need the front plate .

    Roush Saleen at the Detroit auto show..

    Sizleen515, Thanks for the pictures. :nice: I was surprised that a SA 20 was even there. I think the SA 20 is going to become one of the Saleen mystery machines. Very little press coverage about the cars , (only saw one little magazine write-up about the car) and Saleen really has not...

    Roush New Saleen seats any good?

    I live near Crofton, (East of the beltway), but I'll have the car at the Metro Area Mustangs & Fords club tech meeting tomorrow, (SAT). See the post about the meeting in the Mid-Atlantic section for more information.

    Roush New Saleen seats any good?

    Thanks, you car looks great too! :nice: Where can I see more pictures of you car? Someday I would like to get a 65-66 fastback to go with the SA 20.

    Roush New Saleen seats any good?

    Yes, the SA 20 cars are standard S/C cars (Series IV blower) with special paint (Extreme Pearl White) and interior trim. I added the front brake and larger rear wheel (18 x 10) options to my car. Also, mine is the only one, of the 10 made, that has the AOD trans, I'm a "cruiser" not a...

    Roush New Saleen seats any good?

    I cannot make that comparison. My old Saleen had stock Ford seats which I replaced with custom Cobra Daytona seats. The new Saleen seats are not as good as they were, but much better than stock. Also, I too wonder how well the Saleen leather coverings will wear? Also added some...

    Roush New Saleen seats any good?

    I haven't see the FR500 seats, but that sounds just like what Saleen is doing. The driver's seat still even has the Ford power seat adjusting switches (with the new location on the front, down between your legs). Thanks, I really like the SA 20 better than the 2000 S281 S/C coupe I use to...

    Roush New Saleen seats any good?

    Attached a picture of the Saleen Seats in my 03 SA 20. They are built off the Ford seat frame, but use new padding and covering that significantly changes it from stock. I think it is very supportive and was comfortable on a recent cruise event (spent about 4 hours in it). I'm 6'2"/200 lbs...

    Roush How DO you say it...

    My youngest son, when he was 4, use to call my 2000 S-281 a "Special-leen." Kind of like his version, :D but that doesn't help you much.

    Roush Opinion on Saleen clones

    What you do with you car is your choice. Add all the body, interior, suspension, engine, & driveline parts you want. :D But, if someday you pass the car on to someone else, be honest about what your car really is or isn't.
