Roush Ol' 07b is Gone!

Well, not really gone, just dropped off at Modular Depot . I just dropped the car off today. Ken has been putting the new motor together. He says I should be able to come and pick it up a the end of next week. Can't wait to "feel" the difference. For those that don't know, I found an 03 crate motor and added: comp cam's XE270s; long-tube headers; x-pipe; aluminum fly wheel; 4.10's; and Ken is going to tune a 4-way chip. I'm also having them go through the tranny while it is out. I have a new set of Michellin Pilot Sports for it (245 front, 285 rear), so I'm looking forward to some good pics and video's of wasting the Nitto's that are on there when it is finished!! Not sure how long I'll have to break it in first though...

That's funny Marcus . I've been called a lot of things, but patient definately isn't one of them! Patients is not my strong suit! It looks like patients because I couldn't make up my mind. I wasn't going to do anything to it, then I decided it's my damn car, I should be satisfied with it right? I get everything from RT-4 Neons to crotch rockets wanting to run me. It looks fast, but is butt-draggin slow, so I had to do something. I was just going to sell it and buy an s351, but then I got it "looking" like I wanted it (paint, top, wheels, etc). The combination of more hp and gears should net me low 13's/high 12's. The issue will be "hooking up" (not that I'll drag race it much). I just want it to have more power! I'll get it done, break it in, and achieve a few "kills" then settle back down.

Mike - I'll definately be at the National Show! Is there going to be a driving event? That is the other reason for the 4.10's. I want to autocross it a bit. The next expenditure will be for bigger breaks, CC adjusters and a possible coil-over conversion. Still looking for 10" magnesiums and Saleen leather Recaro's if anyone runs across any...

Robert,

You've got mail...

Dammit Robert. You are supposed to hoard not sell. What are you doing? You must need money for magnesium lug nuts and center caps.


P.S. I found my bag of magnesium lug nuts if you need some.

"Found a bag of magnesium lug nuts", you make me sick Marcus! When I "find" something, it is usually a fuzzy M&M or something else totally useless. I have to buy Saleen parts when I need them, you friggin find them lying around How about parting w/ those 10 inchers for me bro...
