Some of you might remember a former member snowbird. He had a really nice Black 2003b with a P1sc, the car had seemed to have fallen off the face of the earth around 2009.
I really needed another car like I need another hole in the head.....but couldn't pass it up. I found it quite by accident last week and just finished hammering out the deal on it this morning.
I pick it up Wednesday and it will have to go into storage for the winter. I hope to get at least a week of driving to hammer out any wrinkles it may have. Give it a really good once over etc.....
It was just too much car to pass up, did I say I didn't really need it as I have an 87 GN and two other daily drivers to maintain but......... in the end it was my wife's comments
"it still smells like new, and you are the right owner for this car" there are just over 50,000 miles on it now 85,000 kilometers.
It sat idle almost forgotten from what I can see. I want it to see the light of day again, what I end up doing with it I don't know just yet.
The list of mods is as follows;
- FIT kit 005 Pro-charger P1SC with 2 alternate pullys
Installed in Kansas City by Greg and “silent” Mike
-2 cores Inter-cooler reinstalled hidden behind bumper for stealth purpose
- Very very conservatively tuned by Lidio in Detroit
-methanol injection with heavy duty purpose built Alky Control pump, Snow optioned low indicator reservoir and snow vacuum triggered controller.
-The battery is trunk mounted.
-oversize stainless braided methanol hoses/joints
-Kooks Stainless headers with 2 ½” high flow cats.
- Custom 2 ½” mandrel bent stainless piping and X pipe, dynomax mufflers, Megs tips.
- Strategic back to back 3 bolts header flanges joints had been incorporated for future mods or maintenance.
- Custom made 13” Stainless Works 3” stainless wool filled resonators in the driveshaft tunnel to eliminate cockpit drone in the 1800-2200 rpm range.
Suspension/handling modifications
- Addco front and rear sway bar with polyurethane bushings
- Metco upper and lower control arms
- Metco watts links
- Lowered rear air bag suspension adjustment
- 245/55/18 Pirelli Scorpion tires FRONT
- 285/50/18 Pirelli Scorpion tires in the REAR
-EBC brakes front and rear driller rotors with green pads
Drivetrain
- P.I. Stallion 3 000 RPM stall converter
- Performance Automatic high capacity aluminium trans pan
- Reinhart external transmission tailshaft forced lubing
- Custom PST Carbonfiber driveshaft with 2 universal joint grease nipples
(25 % lighter, rated for over 8 000 RPM and well over 1 000 HP)
- Ford Racing 4.10:1 rear end gear
- 31T (Auburn or Eaton still to be determined) limited slip
- 31T forged Moser axles with new ABS rings
- T/A Performance aluminium girdle cover
- Reinhart Proguard rear skid plate (for less drag)
Autometer Ultra-lite gauges
- #4376 15 PSI boost vacuum gauge with max boost memory reset and adjustable red light max boost on custom adapted steering column Mustang pod
- Custom made 5 gauge pod
- #4353 100 PSI oil pressure gauge
- #4372 30-300F Intake air temperature gauge.
- #4322 0-200 PSI methanol pump pressure gauge via mechanical 0-200 PSI oil pressure gauge. Confirmation of state of work/pressure of the methanol pump
- Green LED electric current confirmation reaching the controller when on boost
- Red LED warning when about 1/3 of methanol is left in reservoir
- #4345 0-2000F Exhaust gas temperature with air core pyrometer sensor welded in the right side Kooks collector before the cat. Used as a “load” indicator.
- #4363 0-100 PSI Fuel pressure gauge
- factory pod customized to retain 3 gauges:
- #4357 100-250F transmission oil temperature
- #4385 clock.
- #4391 90 degree sweep voltmeter.
There were a couple of time slips in the car 12.53 at 110.XX mph.
I'll get up some pics mid next week, it's covered in about an inch of dust.
