Lol ricers always put a huge monster tach in there cars when they have a perfectly fine tack in the cluster... they say "its more accurate".... Okaaaayyy [:-]

I talked to this one kid at PIR the other night and he had his shift light programmed for Vtak. That way he knows when it engages... WHO THE **** CARES!! lol.

Has anyone ever rode in a Vtek car? My friend from work has a del sol with a intake, tuner, and a fart can. His car is a kinda quick, dont get me worng, but when his VTEK engaged it just got louder lol. It went from calm fart can noise to

WAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
But it didnt go any faster it just got louder... so ricers with vtak can just go **** themselves cause its really nothing!

I rode in a VTAK once... I was laughing so hard I couldn't breath

When you ride in a 500 RWHP car, there is no replacment for that feeling

lol.

The new radiater is nice looking. It looks like an intercooler. People look twice at it cause you can see it thru the grill and i tell them its just the radiater. lol.

But yeah, car runs. Replaced the tranny cooler lines with some nice heavy duty mesh lines. looks pretty nice.

I had this thing doin 80mph in 2nd gear on the highway last night lol. Has lots more pull in 2nd then it does in first. I think I get more boost in 2nd then first cause first gear feels weak lol.

Turbo that thing lol.

I thought those things where V6's?


I'll get some video of the shadow soon. I can either wait on a radiater.... or wait on getting it registered? lol

Im hopin this check is atleast $400

I would have been fine if radiater didnt have a ****ing crack in it!
Theres a 6er Duratec Motor that these came with ..[sarcasm]but I lucked out and got the 2.0L I-4 Zetec Motor[/sarcasm]

In the video with my truck racing, i am racing my buddies escort with the same motor. He has a full intake and exhaust with a header and a knock-off borla exhaust with the dual DTM tips. (2 1/4" exhaust). Thats what his sounds like. Not ricey at all. Nice and deep and low toned.

i am going for the same exhaust with the shadow only without the huge DTM 3" tips lol.

Anyway I am racing him tonight with the shadow. He ran a 16.5 last time with his clutch slipping a bit and it still is. I wanna be able to beat him this time lol.
