Black in Kirtland Hills, OH

[a_d_a_m]

I've seen it twice in Kirtland Hills in the past few weeks. Both times, it was on Little Mountain Rd. just north of Baldwin Rd and it was in the 4 o'clock PM hour.

Black, some sort of neon green decal on the windshield, no tint on the windows, male driver.

I don't think it's anyone here.

[a_d_a_m]

I saw this car again yesterday at the W. 130th Pull-A-Part. I was getting Aerostar parts and Panther window switches. There is a neon green 'HOW WE ROLL MOTORSPORTS' decal on the windshield and rear window.

I left a note.

Mentor Ohio here, i have not seen that one but i do see a maroon Marauder in Mentor on Hart St and a black Marauder with tinted windows and MRAUDER on the plates.

[a_d_a_m]

al831, are you the guy I've seen at Bruegger's who's also got a '60s Mustang?

[al831]

no its probably not me, i drive a teal 4 door 63 mercury monterey in the summer

[al831]

hey adam, how many marauders do you think are around our area? do you have a marauder? do you ever go to Annabelle's or anything like that?

[a_d_a_m]

no its probably not me, i drive a teal 4 door 63 mercury monterey in the summer Ah, can't say I've seen the Monterey around; there was a dark blue Breezeway near me but that guy sold it and bought a '72ish Cougar.


hey adam, how many marauders do you think are around our area? do you have a marauder? do you ever go to Annabelle's or anything like that? There are a handful of guys on this website, but not many active guys in Lake County. The owner of Alexander Moving Co. in Mentor just bought one recently.

Mine is in storage for the winter. Haven't been to Annabelle's in quite some time. I have had it at the Painesville car show on the square though.

[al831]

The Marauder at Alexander moving is mine. i work for the moving co my brother is the owner. Did you stop by 1 day and talk to one of the guys there? I might have seen your marauder around, is it black with a spoiler? I have seen the blue merc with the breezeway around I think he lives on Palmer Dr. I drive a 63 merc with a breezeway.

[a_d_a_m]

Yeah, I stopped in one day and asked whose it was - I was in my grey Grand Marquis at the time though. My Marauder is black, with a spoiler and tinted windows. It also has Hot Rod Power Tour decals on the front and back.

You are correct - the Breezeway guy lives on Palmer, but he sold it for the Cougar.

[al831]

I have seen your marauder before, i saw it 1 day crossing the tracks on hart st and ive seen you a couple of times on 615. Not many out there, they stick out when I see one. Im sure ill see your car at 1 of the shows this summer. I always make sure i go to the mentor car show every year.

[a_d_a_m]

Yeah, my band practices near Alexander Moving, and my dad lives over near 615/20 so I'm frequently out that way. These days, you're more likely to see me in the Marquis, or a beat-up dark blue Aerostar.

I'll be around this year, once the salt is clear from the roads.

[al831]

i have a buddy who lives near 20 & 615 on Acacia. I would like to have mufflers put on this spring, I'm thinking maybe flow masters, do you have the stock exhaust? I would hate to get a sound i dont like. i also would like to have brighter dash lights, my windows are tinted and the dash is very dim.wondering if there are different colors to choose from. i would like to have the brake calipers painted blue or buy new blue ones. do you know of a good detail shop locally, i would like to have my cars rubbed out but im afraid i may need a paint job. The list goes on and on.....

[RubberCtyRauder]

Most like magnaflows. Flowmasters often have drone depending on the series you get. Dash lights and all interior lights can be changed to LED. Which will be brighter. You'll have to paint the calipers blue. It's not really hard. Just a little elbow grease and time. I'm down by Akron and have met Adam a few times.

[al831]

I want a nice rumble and something badass when i get on it. something else i wonder, i watch these guys on you tube burning their tires while power braking. Is this ok for your car, its like these guys beat the crap out of their cars. Maybe marauders are tougher than i thought. the burn outs look cool but i dont know that i woulkd do that

[RubberCtyRauder]

There are a lot of Youtube clips of Marauder exhaust sounds, maybe check some out to give you ideas. Mod motors don't have that deep v8 rumble like old school cars and Marauders don't sound like mustangs as the exhaust is way longer, but can sound great, just depends on your personal preference.

Power braking, burnouts are not going to hurt the car if maintenance is kept up and no problems presently exist. I wouldn t do it 15 times a day or you'll be buying tires for the rear..lol Get a tune from MO's..totally changes the shift schedule so the car isn't always searching for a gear.adds prolly 20hp too.

I did just a rear cat delete and it made a nice difference in sound. Youtube clips through pc speakers don't really do exhaust videos justice IMO.

[al831]

What is Mo's ?

[RubberCtyRauder]

MO's Speed shop, vendor section, member martyo. Shop has tuned 100's of marauders including Canada and Germany and no need to go to the shop, can be done via email or UPS. I've been to the shop twice and I live 688 miles away..They know marauders from stock to 800 rwhp ones and all in between

[al831]

what do you mean they can do it email or ups?

[RubberCtyRauder]

Email you a tune if you have an xcal unit or mail a new xcal with tune on it

[a_d_a_m]

Al, I am pretty sure I have a blue caliper paint kit laying around, new in the box. It is a few years old but may still be good. Free whenever I find it if you want to meet up.

As far as the exhaust, I recommend doing a rear cat delete, which will not trip codes.

Blue calipers ftw
