Fray,
Nice pictures. Two picture made me laugh because it was so true in my case.

One picture shows a twisty road and a recommended speed of 25 mph.
Your next pictures show you going 45 mph.

Yes nice pics Fray.

My wife Amy and I had a laugh on the way home. Probably the funniest bumper sticker I've seen in a while. The escort with Pollak for the license plate reminded me of it.

It was an older escort early 90's, a custom job, 8 inch tall white letters that spelled out HEMI. :D

He must get a few extra horses with that.

Sad thing is he didn't want to race.

He tried to hit me again when we were 3 miles from town going into the country, so then he pulled into this church and I didn't know what he had up his sleeve so I stayed on the street as he did donuts in the parking lot???
So then he came flying out at me and I threw it in reverse and whipped the car around and it really started to get interesting when we got back into town...
I guess all that autocrossing pays off!!!
He definately picked the wrong car to run from
The car is going into the shop wednesday, I hate looking at it...
I don't go into the garage because I don't even want to look at it
The cop goes thats a nice *** car, then he was like what was he thinking trying to run from that...I started laughing
that was crazy...Papajoey you are the Hero of the month! :D

You must take this whole story to the lounge...the whole forum would get a blast reading about it...especially since you are a Boosted 8 (probably the only one in the Dakotas I bet )

Is Husker boosted or NA?

Interested to hear how that goes TrueMagellan.

That sCANalyzer is a very useful tool.

Any of you guys install window tint before?

I've heard the 8 is easy to do, so I ordered some precut.

same as the clear bra you installed pretty much...just a little bit trickier

as for Husker's car he has a greddy turbo

he will be doing the upgrade on the turbo and injectors to break the 300Whp mark but that won't be for a couple of week...the car coming to the twin cities will probably be running 290Whp

BTW lots of Superchargers are coming out in the near future...I'm eyeing all of the Petit's will be here in a couple of weeks and is 60hp gain and totally bolt on for maybe $4K...if this is a nice unit (most likely) I may have to choose it over the Hymee (both are dual screw)...but we will see If I do go with Ted, we should order two and get them for a serious discount and then install them at the same time...it would only take a few hours

That is impressive, I need to stop by one of the local dynos and see what I have for baseline. So I see the difference in future mods.

Hi guys!

Where else would a Husker be from other than Nebraska :D

If all goes as planned (shipment) I will have the Interceptor installed before I leave for MN -- I am pretty busy while in the Twin Cities but as I told Jason Friday right after work might be a good time to meet. Embassy Suites at the airport is where I will be at.

Fray,
I recall you and your friend has taken apart a rotatory engine before.

How hard was it to take out the Output shaft???

Thinking about replacing mine with an aftermarket shaft <--- heheh trying to gain more torque. :D

I should be able to meet up at 4:30 for about an hour.

Do you happen to have the address for the meeting place? PM me if you don't want it posted.

05 key fob

Did you guys do the programming for your 05 key fob?

or is it something the dealer has to do?
