Thought I'd Check In....

[Panther II]

...Just to say Hi. Most of you guys don't know me so this is sort of a post just to show why I am here and what I am about. My name is Dave and I drive a 97 Crown Vic HPP. I've loved big cars since I cant remember and I am an absolute Ford fan and enjoy working,maintaining, and cleaning them. Most people don't understand why a 16 year old would like these cars but screw them is what I say :) . Not sure if all of you know what CVN (www.crownvic.net) is but I have been there for 3 years and post under Code1 and know more then I probably should ever know about these cars. Ever since the Marauder came out I have wanted one, and still do. Well now you guys know alittle about me so I guess I can stop feeling so much like a newb. :D

BTW, Some info. on my car is in my sig, by clicking on the pic.

Well- Welcome aboard officialy Dave--Hey woface( James) - seems you have some work to do ----ah...Dave--James is our guy same age range in S.C. that has the same interest as you..... we're glad to have you both aboard--your never to young or old to learn something daily--expecially about cars---
stay with us and keep us on top of your stuff...........Tom

[Panther II]

Thanks Tom. I'm actually going to be moving to Wilmington NC around the time I'm gonna be in the market for a Marauder.

[woaface]

Hey Dave. Thanks for the introduction Tom!

I've wanted a Marauder for a while now as well, but I'll be another year or two until that happens.

I drive a 99 Grand Marquis and you can see the following options in my signature. I've visited crownvic.net and crownvic.us a few times and have signed up. Never got too involved there as I have here.

Anyways, nice car man...I wish mine was black:up:

Panthers kick ass!

[Panther II]

Thanks James. LOL about the comment about the black color. I guess its just that pic but the car is actually Dark Forest Green which has been known to change colors in the right light from green to blue to black (at night). Anyways I like the Panther platform and like I said I will be in the market for a Marauder in alittle under 2 years from now when I use up my CV. :)

[Marauderman]

Your welcome James--......ah.......the Carolinas..can't beat it personally...so glad your coming our way---although we don't have many MM owners from that area..maybe we can at meet some day mid-way--keep us posted on your trips down--you never who is going where and when for hooking up and meeting --even for a few minutes...in can mean alot to both......Tom

[Marauderman]

which reminds me--James --how come you didn't post up for this past weekend--- I was thru your area and gave you info on same--duh!!!!

[Panther II]

Yah you cant beat southeastern NC around Wrighstville/Wilmington area. I plan on moving down when I am 18 for college and my family has decided to follow me. I really cant wait as I love being by the ocean.

Welcome, Panther II. I always enjoy talking with other Panther owners! I haven't seen him here in a while, but RocketCouch (Chris) is a member here, and has a mean, blown CrownVic. He also has a lot of cool Panther performance stuff at his website, adtr.net.

[Panther II]

Thanks for the welcome. I know of Chris and his blown 92 CV and his mod'd 98 CV. I have and still am a major contributor to CVN so I pretty much know the crowd over there. I just thought I'd come over and talk Marauders. :D

[woaface]

which reminds me--James --how come you didn't post up for this past weekend--- I was thru your area and gave you info on same--duh!!!!
OOPS! I recognized you were coming through but unless you PMed me about it, I was going to assume you weren't going to be making any "pit stops" Sorry about that:)

Dark green/blue/black...JUST like my Dad's Villager!

But if I could do anything to my car, I'd start with the handling aspects of it...it's fast enough in a straight line...what I don't need is a wallowing pig!

Yet the ladies get in the car and never fail to say "Wow...this is a smooth ride! Hey, it's big in here too!":pimp:

Chris is cool, he worked with me on selling/installing my intake! A very nice guy.

I did PM you ahead of time last week or so...and what the hell has the rest of your post got to do with that.........Duh!!

[Panther II]

Speaking of handling my Addco's and Edelbrock IAS are coming soon as is U/D's and P71 PCM.

[woaface]

I never got the PM...that SUCKS!

And the rest of that post had the hell to do with talking to David!

Lol...sorry, I've had way to many donuts in the last hour...chocolate covered glazed...yummmmmm...ok, I'm going to lay down...

David...I could use a rear and front sway bar...and new control arms, and cut springs...but I'm going to have to dump some cash if I want my parents to help me get a Marauder in two years...

On your GM I would do a MM MAF and airbox followed by a chip and dual exhaust. ;)

I've gotten just as much power out of the cold air intake, but I may get an MM MAF. I've got a chip already as well. Dual exhaust? I'll just save up for an MM:D

[Panther II]

You might be able to find a dual exhaust from a P71 or HPP GM or CV in the bone yard. I wouldnt own a CV or GM with just the single, just love the sound and the extra 15hp. :)

If I did the exhaust, I'd go all out. 2 cats instead of 4, new headers, an x pipe and magnaflow or flowmaster OR areo mufflers.:rock:

And money like that is better spent on an MM or a bumpin' sound system:cool:

[Panther II]

LOL, good point. Thats one thing that convinced me to buy my HPP car was the fact that it had dual exhaust (should have been a std. package). BTW, if you really want to maybe save some cash you could always AED the car with AED's 6PSI Rev-II complete S/C kit and go with ADTRs full exhaust for under 6k, that is if you cant buy a Marauder.

[MarauderMark]

And money like that is better spent on an MM :cool:


Wtg James!!!! :rock: :rock: :rock:






Hey Dave!!
1st Welcome to this site , though you did talk and invite some of use to a cv meet one time in which i was sorry i could not make . it looks like your only about 1/2 hr 45 mins from me im in northeast.

Again Welcome!!!

[woaface]

Hey Dave, I forgot to ask...are there any CV meets in upstate South Carolina? I've never been able to find anything...I'd be very interested in going to one.

[Panther II]

Thanks Mark for the welcome. My intake actually cracked on me in NorthEast and was stuck up there for three hours. It really only takes me like 35 minutes to get up there (I live in northern Bel Air in Harford co.). Anytime you wanna meet hit me up on aim or on email. We try to have CVN meets around here and at a fellow members house who owns a 12 second Vic which is very fun.

A 12 sec vic:burnout:

Any links to a picture or two of his ride????

[Panther II]

James as for the SC meets I do not believe there has been one. I know of one guy in SC with a Vic and he doesnt post on CVN anymore. I know there are some in NC and GA.

Here is Jeff's 12 second Vic. This Vic no longer has this package as it is recieving 11 second or faster components including many goodies. :D

[woaface]

Shweeeet! I love the picture of him and the cops! Interesting how he put the intake on the passenger side as well!

Cooooooool, a real sleeper.:D

[Panther II]

He loves to kid with people who ask him about it. He tells them it came supercharged from the factory. :D

Last I heard the car was getting a new engine that is prepped to take the boost he will be adding to it for 10-11 second quarters.

[jgc61sr2002]

Dave - Welcome aboard. :D As you can see this site is addicting. :rock:

[Panther II]

Yes it is, very respectful members too that have been nothing but polite.

[RoyLPita]

Welcome aboard, Dave. I have a 1992 GM LS with HPP. This is my 2nd one. My 1st one had the AOD. This one has the AOD-E. I also added the CVPI PCM. What a difference! I saw your "FusionVic" site and want to know how to add the TC switch.

[Panther II]

The Fusion Vic site is not mine but it is my friends site. He is actually on here his name is metroplex (Charlie). The only site I have up now is if you click on my signature pic. Thanks for the welcome.

[RoyLPita]

Thanx for the info. Again, Welcome aboard.
