Melbourne area stangs

Ok, is there a *POINT* or *TOPIC* to this thread? Or is it just mindless chit-chat, in a effort to drive up post counts?????

I would suggest AIM, or PM.

I got my finger on the trigger that closes this thread, just waiting to see it you can find a topic, or have something to say besides idle chit-chat.

Sorry guys, but this is my job here.

Hawk...I thought you said you were cool with it. Why the change? Also we're all still pumped from the awesome Hooters cruise, and that's what we're talking about. Sorry, we'll try to cut it back for you. We'll think up some ideas to change the way we operate this thread...

Baglock...clean out your PMs! Important message trying to be sent to you by White.

Yeah, but by then I'd have the huffer a'huffin'. My buddy in the 98 GT just finished up a P1-SCH install but he's only pumping about 8 lbs. I'll be sitting at 18 lbs on a fresh 306... I don't think he OR the stock TA will be laughing after they get a good look at the back of that wing.

Ok guys. Let me break this "mindless chit-chat" with a bit of technical definations and decipher my post for the uninitiated.

Huffer - Slang term for a supercharger
Huffing - Slang term for what a "huffer" does
P1-SCH - Procharger's entry level supercharger. It's identical to the P-600 except it's oiling system is self contained (i.e., the SC designation). The 600 requires an oil feed and return line to be run to the charger and to the oil pan. The self contained unit has it's own oil supply. You change it every time you change your motor oil. As for the "H" designation, I believe that is the polished finish, but I'm not sure.
8lbs - Superchargers are, in essence, a pump. He is running 8 lbs of pressure at the discharge of the supercharger. More pressure = more airflow = more power.
18lbs - I plan on running a D1-SC. The D1 is Procharger's next level of supercharger and is also has a self contained oiling system. It will be pulley'd to provide 18lbs of pressure at the discharge side. Different pulley sizes affect the speed at which the supercharger operates. This affects the amount of pressure it develops.
Fresh 306 - The block will be a 306 (an over-bored 5.0 or 302). Since it will have low miles, it will still be fairly new, or "fresh."

Happy?

Thanks for the explination, Baglock.

White, sounds good. I like the idea's myself.

All others...I know we like heckling each other, but we'll save that for throw-away threads.

Sound good, y'all?

so how could i tell the difference between an inline 6 and a v6 engine?

Bag...you seriously need to clean out at least your sent PMs, since they count against you, too. This goes for everyone, too. All our PM boxes need to be kinda empty, since we'll be using it more for communication that before.

All, I just want to explain a couple of things.

I LOVE to have FUN, and this place is all about FUN so lets enjoy ourselves. But do it in moderation.

Multiple post to answer 1 question, or a post of a "smilie" is out of control.

Most of you know me from other Forums here, and I tease and poke just as you are doing here, but we know the limits and do not push the envolope. You should not either.

I DO NOT want to close "The greatest ever thread on SN" but will if you all cannot follow the rules as posted everwhere, adn you have all read them.

Have Fun, but keep it under control and all will be fine. am not here to stop this or step on anyones toes, just to keep peace and make sure that the rules are followed.

Alright, Hawk, we'll be making some changes for you. It should help slow down and keep this thread under control, as well as allow us to police ourselves. I believe we will soon be creating daily "throw away" threads. They'll be short, and we'll kill them off after a 24 hour period and begin another one. This one will be kept specifically for racing, hooters, and general car info. Throw Aways will deal with everything else. We'll also post other threads to alert the general S.E. of upcomming cruises, races, etc. Hopefully this will be satisfactory to all.

EDIT:
But we do need some time to get this completely organized and planned, so bear with us.

help me!!

guys...i need some help.

tonight, i was driving upto the local pool hall after picking up a friend of mine from his house. i was coming down 17/92...and caught a red light. there was a bike next to me with a guy and a girl on it, and they were lookin over all hard and stuff. the light turned green...and he took off on his loud ass 400cc dragster bike (sarcasm implied)...but he let off at around the speed limit. i caught up to him and got on it alittle bit just to play around. well, needless to say i wasnt running my radar detector...and an undercover cop in a black impala caught me on radar. i pulled up to the next redlight...and noticed the black car behind me (i didnt see him before this). i looked back and saw his strobes on the inside of his windshield, and knew i was goin to get raped. light turned green, and he turned on his lights. turns out i was doing 76 in a 45 (oops, still didnt seem like i was doing that fast). after him searching my entire car for god knows what, he gives me a $180 ticket. he told me he gave me a $100 break or somethin, but i dont give a ****...i still dont have $180 to throw down the drain.

here lies my problem. he gave me the three options (they give em to everbody) to either pay the ticket and get the points on my license, take it to court, or goto the traffic school thing and get no points. now, the thing is i have already taken the traffic school thing once (your only allowed to take it once a year) and im pretty sure it hasnt been a year since then yet. so i was wondering if i take it to court do you think they'll let me take the traffic school thing anyway? cause for 1, i cant afford for my insurance to go up any higher, and 2...i wont be able to drive for 12 months (except for business purposes only). i have to drive, theres no way around that, and i cant pay higher insurance (there already killin me as it is). do you think if i take it to court i would be able to take the traffic school thing again, even though its been under a year? any ideas/suggestions would be great.

Boy, that sucks Droptop . I would say that the judge will probably not give you traffic school. Either you fight it and win and don't pay the fine, or fight it and lose and pay the fine. I've never heard of anyone getting traffic school from the judge, even if they hadn't taken it previously.

However, your insurance may not go up because of this ticket. I would call them and ask (hypothetically, of course) what effect the ticket would make on your payments. Best of luck...

well theres not too much i can fight. i was speeding, but i guess i could say that its my dads car (cause its insured under his name) and that im not used to driving it, or some bs like that. im not worried about the fine, i can handle that...its my insurance, and them suspending my license.

Well, you're right, by the sound of it, there isn't much you can do to fight it. Really, you gotta hope that the cop just doesnt' show up, that way, it'll be thrown out and you won't have to pay anything. Good luch, though. Speeding tickets suck.

Baglock...I posted links on the last page that prove the existance of the Saleen XP8 Exlporer. I think it's been discontinued, so I can't find specs or pics, but it does exist.

You should post them...more proof.

BTW: Anyone know when the next AutoX is after May 19th? Hope I'll be able to make the next one. Should be.
