New Marauder on it way soon

[cougar9150]

Well I finally found a new ride for me. After looking at several options and a couple of set backs, I have finally got a new to me Marauder.

It's an Silver Birch 300B Charcoal Interior jsut under 60k and has a Trunk Organizer, Dynotech Metal Matrix Driveshaft, Denso Iridium Spark Plugs Addco Front and Rear Sway Bars, Precision Industries 3000 rpm Torque Converter, Marauder Rear Engine Cooling Kit, 4.10 Gears, 180 Degree Thermostat, Marauder Level 2 Transmission Kit (built for 650 hp), Art Carr Deep Transmission Kit, Transmission Cooler w/Braided Lines, working AutoMeter Oil pressure and Transmission Temp Gauges, KOOKS Long Tube SS Headers (jet coated), High Flow cats, X Pipe, Magnaflow Mufflers, Exhaust Tips lengthened, K&N cold air kit, Gods Head badges on hood, trunk, steering wheel, Pro Guard rear skid plate, Metco Control arms BFG g-Force T/A KDW-2 tires Rr, Goodyear F1 supercar tires in the front, Formula 1 Lifetime window tint, Diff Cover Stud Girdle, Silverstar Ultra Head and fog lights, Aluminum Custom Dead Pedal, Aluminum Marauder door sills, and the lower grill modification (not sure what this is). Also has a custom tune and comes with the tuner. The car dynoed at 350Hp and 360 ft/lb torque. Not sure if this is flywheel or rear wheels. I am assuming at the wheels even if its not I'm happy.

Deal is final and delivery company will either pick up today or Monday. I can't wait for the delivery company to get her here from Texas. Phil is one happy boy again. Been so depressed since I totaled my 04 SB. Things are finally going right. I will post what pics I have later when I get home but was so excited I had to log in at work to tell everyone I am officially a Marauder owner again. Time to get ready for a Trilogy.

Congrats.:D Enjoy your new ride.

Dosent look like you will need any mods anytime soon!

[cougar9150]

DOOM what do you mean it doesn't have a Trilogy!!!!!!

I will be happy with the way it is for now. Just glad to be a owner again. In a month or so I will start playing again but focusing on some reliability mods at first such as the EMP water pump, thinking about designing a custom dual fan shroud similar to one TODD sent me alink to, and a few other minor things plus some bling for under the hood. My girl has to look nice. I also want the Naake setup and some big brakes but not sure if I should do that before or after the Trilogy.

Now my wife will be jealous since I will be buying jewelry for the car and not for her again.

The Trilogy is my plan for a little ways down the road. Dependant on how things go it could be a few months or over a year. I have a 500 rwhp goal for my power output. Should be a little easier now that I don't have to buy all of the supporting equipment.

The only thing I have thought about is trying to custom build a Rotrex SC kit for the car. They seem cool like a combo of a turbo and sc rolled into one package . I just don't have room in my current garage for a project like that.

It's definitely and interesting option!

There is a Rotex kit for the +05 Mustang, maybe it can be customized to fit?

Koenigsegg uses dual Rotrex SC, in the early years the used a Lysholm but due to lack of space they switched to dual Rotex.

I would like to have this engine in my car:D

The Rotrex is just very interesting. Saw the write up year or more ago in 5.0 about the kit by Forced Induction Technologies. A small high revving SC almost like the best of both worlds.

Thanks Ms Denmark. I am super excited. Just joined the group, wish I had known about it when I had my old one.

http://www.forcedairperformance.com/supercharger/mustang.html"...requires a negligent amount of power to turn."

Does that mean you can be pulled over for negligent operation if you have this kit?

I love it when illiterate people write ad copy...

Did you buy the car from a site member?

[cougar9150]

I found it on Autotrader but he said he was a member here. I'm not sure of the user name. He was the second owner and most of the work I think was done by the 1st owner. He was a doctor in Augusta Georgia in his 60s. 1st part of the work was done by Reinhart and the rest were done in the Atlanta area.

Congrats on your new purchased Marauder. May you have many years of enjoyment with it.

Congrats.

I'd be interested in hearing more about this set-up. Please keep us posted.

God bless its beautful

I'm learning to play in Inventor 10 and will start doing 3-D modeling at work. Figure sheet metal with some Louvers should be easy. Just add 1-2 holes and mount the fan(s).

Thanks everyone. I heard her drive around the sellers house as it was loaded onto the truck today. Sounded so sweet, can't wait.

[cougar9150]

The car arrived today, just in time for me to leave for Chicago tonight.

Everything seems okay except the radio doesn't work. The previous owner had a radar detector hooked up to the circuit also so my guess is when he removed it the stereo lost its connection. Going to hit him up about it and make sure which fuse he was using. The radio fuses aren't blown so my guess is it is after this point in the circuit. I'll find it when I get back.

Needs a little some clean up, I'll do that on the Monday. I get back on Sunday but took the day of to recover from the wedding I'll be at.
