Default Hi guys

Hi guys-just introducing myself.

Have an 84svo. its a turd. a few mods but nothing much. had it for about a year and a half. the last time at rollers i was pushing 240horse/320lbs ft. havent had it there in a while. few things been changed since.

ill probably be prowling around here a little. i also have an issue i posted up in the svo sub forum if anyone sees it. i havent played with this junker in a while.

about myself, im in college, about 6 months from my associates then who knows.

hopefully i can help a few people get along with their 2.3's and someone can buy me a whole new setup. XD. lol jk

sleeper. i have a lot of mods. cam, ported intakes and head, valves, holset, exhaust, la3 w a j3 tune, front mount, injectors. those numbers are a little low. the next time i goto strip i should be 12s.

turbopwr i would say more like "oh god-thats the worst svo ive ever seen" instead of excellent lol. its rough.

i actually need a new pair of lca for the front end. left ball joint is gone and right is following.

because of availability(the lack there of) of svo/lincoln c arms i got those adapter collars so i can drill the k member and use 94-95 lower c arms.

its a 4d (dark charcoal grey) thats arizona faded to primer w bits of rust on the hood from heat eating paint. lol.

favorite mod:silencer ring delete/essy adj. star cam sprocket.

least favorite:the whole car! lol. actually the interior insulation delete. the exhaust makes my car an oven.

My favorite mod would have to be a set of drag radials mounted on a pair of matching SVO wheels. The car is a blast to launch off the limiter. I don't think I have a least favorite. I have yet to reinstall the AC after the FMIC, so that makes it a bit toasty in the summer months.
