Any fellow tuners out there?


Recommended Posts

Figured I'd start a thread for all us tuners! I started in the scene about 6 yrs ago with a 98 contour SVT. All it had was a 125 shot & a little suspension work. Sold it 2 years ago but I loved the car so much I got another one. smile just finished a 3.0 swap and had to put no2 in it. Havent got it on a dyno yet but it's running great & should be around 270-290 at the wheels with the spray. Supercharger soon to come along with a full suspension build, just not sure which brand I'm going with. Now let's hear about yours!!

As a Ford tech it is nice to see someone who likes the contour. Good luck, you can have them all. We have a few guys at work that have their mustangs and lightening's tuned up. even a couple of Diesels that are done. It is funny watching these kids grow up. The closer each one gets to 30 they slowly get rid of their toys. I did the same thing and now almost 50 I look at the money p'd away on speed and tickets. Enjoy, you are only young once.

95 Eagle Talon TSi AWD

2.0, Wiseco Pistons, ACL bearings with thrusts, Stage 2 ported head, HKS 272 cams, Big front mount intercooler with all hard charge piping and K&N intake, Mitsubishi EVO 3 16g turbo, Lipp O2 housing, 3" turbo back exhaust with HKS catback, Walbro fuel pump, Precision 550 injectors (kinda small I know but Im working on that), Zeitronix datalogging and gauge, Autometer mechanical gauges, Apexi Neo air fuel controller and some assorted energy suspension bushing at random around the car.

I am lagging in the air/fuel delivery department but this last winter I had to replace the passenger strut tower so I was happy just to drive it as is this past summer. Pretty sure there isn't any parts on the car that I haven't had to fix or replace. The previous owner didn't know about the metric system so that has been real fun too.

It used to go out in the winter time as I have snows for it and it is AWD with limited slip but I decided I didn't want to add any more rust so shes parked for winter. Gotta say I do miss tearing up the lakes with it though.

Lots of fun to drive and give the expensive cars a beat down on occasion. GTR say what?

I had a 00 civic Si with Jackson Racing supercharger, eibach springs, stage 3 clutch master clutch, short throw shifter, 5 zigen full exhaust, 4 into 1 header with test pipe, and bezel gauge pod.

Started out drag racing then moved on to road racing it with AARF.

Ran it up until 2010, then sold it for a truck.

Member of ClubSi since 1999.

Out grew that scene and have moved on. Still love cars though.

Deadeye, sounds like a nice whip! Being a Mitsu guy, you ever get over to MAP? I use to be a member of a local car club, Team Four Door, and we hosted a couple car/drift shows over there. They'd always fire up their 1000whp FD with a 4g93t (if memory serves me right) swap and send her through the dyno a few times. That thing was a BEAST!!!!

Yeah. I even worked there for a short time. Good bunch of guys but that biz was not for me lol. Last I heard they are working on doing a twin turbo lsx swap in the fdsm. No more 4g64. I'm sure its probably been up and running for a while at this point. They are moving the shop out to inver grove too. Kinda sad.

Glad to see someone is doing work on a Ford that's not a Mustang!

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
