    Roush Saleen Sport Truck featured on MSN

    If nothing else, the owners of Saleen Incorporated really know how to market their products. Case in point, the Saleen S331 Sport Truck being featured on MSN's home page: http://autos.msn.com/advice/article.aspx?contentid=4024756

    Roush Shady dealer on ebay?

    They really had me convinced to place a bid until I saw that engine bay plaque. :rolleyes: Seriously, the dealer may not necessarily be at fault for this one. They just may be victims of their own ignorance if they took it as a trade-in, purchased it @ an auction or from a 3rd party seller...

    Roush Fab Ford Car Show At Knotts! Anyone Going???

    It's a point of pride with Robert that he has never, ever washed his entire S351 let alone the wheels. :p (My wife & I attended briefly as spectators when we realized later in the morning that the rain was going to hold off. It gave us an excuse to take the SVTF on its first extended road trip.)

    Roush My New 95-S351R-029

    Is that the S351 that was on eBay for quite sometime last year? It looks kinda familiar.

    Roush Holy Vibration!

    It is highly unlikely that the subframe connectors would be contributing to the vibration issue. It's probably just a coincidence that the vibration occurred after they were installed. From your description it definitely sounds like an imbalance in the drivetrain or perhaps as Robert stated a...

    Roush Fab Ford Car Show At Knotts! Anyone Going???

    As always, I'll be there. Unfortunately the forecast is for rain all weekend here in San Diego, so it looks like I'll have to miss Knotts this year... :(

    Roush 96-98 S281 Floor Mats

    I'm tempted to tease you by saying I could sell you the mint condition original black mats from my S281 Cobra since I now use a set of tan generic mats, but that would be cruel... :jester:

    Roush Need a little help

    Gee, Robert, nobody answered your thread (at least not in public). I can't really answer your question but superficially it seems to me that if you removed the supercharger that the engine should be running rich & not lean as the fuel delivery usually is increased with the addition of forced...

    Roush Help - Speedline Lemans vs Mags

    The 3 resident experts just beat me to it. The offsets between front & rear wheels are different & the magnesium Speedlines utilize a completely different lug nut than the aluminum versions. I guess I'm sort of an expert since my '98 originally came with the mags & I replaced them with a set...

    Roush What Upgrades Would be Necessary On A 95 Saleen 351

    If you have the intestinal fortitude & financial wherewithall, the first upgrade I would recommend is a 400+ cubic inch stroker short block. You'd have the extra torque & horsepower & externally the engine would look completely original.

    Roush FR500 Steering Wheel

    I hate the OEM wheel in my '98 Saleen Cobra (too large a diameter & too thin of a rim) & considered replacing it with the FR500/FRPP wheel. Unfortunately I have the Saddle interior so a black steering wheel would stick out like the proverbial sore thumb. Of course the plastic dash trim is black...

    Roush Does all Saleens VIN Check only show up as A GT

    Like the others have stated, get as much information & relevant documentation on the car as possible before making a final decision to purchase it. A CarFax report should be de rigeur prior to purchasing any used vehicle, but particularly so with a specialty vehicle like a Saleen. Then you'll...

    Roush Subframe Connecter Question

    The same thing almost happened to me & my '89. I originally purchased a rectangular set of connectors from a company who shall remain nameless (they are still in existence BTW). When the installation shop placed them up on the car there were huge gaps between them & the floorpan. We called the...

    Roush Subframe Connecter Question

    As long as the person doing the welding takes a periodic break to prevent excessive heat build up, it shouldn't be necessary to pull up the carpet to prevent it from catching fire. Unfortunately the shop that installed the MAC connectors on my '89 Saleen many years ago didn't take this...

    Roush saleen with cobra motor question

    I may be a bit biased, but IMHO a Saleen Cobra is the best of both worlds; e.g. the dual exclusivity of a Saleen & a SVT vehicle. A '03/'04 Saleen Cobra would just about be the ultimate factory Mustang. Marcus is correct (as usual) that the Saleen Cobras are more rare than the S351 Saleens...

    Roush Subframe Connecter Question

    As others have stated in this & other previous threads, subframe connectors are a "must" with a unibody vehicle like the Mustang, especially a convertible. Over 1/3 of the structural rigidity in a vehicle is provided by the roof so removing it creates the typical flexy-flyer syndrome despite the...

    Roush 351?????

    Geez, with all this discussion about tuning woes :eek: , I'm feeling even better that I purchased a S281 Cobra instead of a S351 like I originally intended to do. :D

    Roush MADE ME SICK

    Ditto that. I've seen worse things done to Saleens than just a Chameleon flame job. ALOT worse. And they usually end up on eBay, too.

    Roush Tax Return = Stuff for the twisties

    Subframes are a must. Upper & lower control arms are nice to have & I had them installed on my '89. I originally installed C/C plates but decided against them in favor of the OEM Saleen/SVO onion head mounts. I considered the panhard rod, but didn't want to have clearance issues with the...

    Roush 351?????

    All S351's featured the Vortech supercharger as standard equipment from 1997 until their demise in 2000. There were 3 different S351 models offered from 1994 to 1996. The standard S351 featured a normally aspirated 351 V8. The SR featured the Vortech supercharged 351 with several other racing...
