What did you do for your Terminator today?

[Black Gold 380R]

Lol nope, no clue I have it. Thankfully she really doesn't ask about the stockpile of parts in the garage. I've been lucky that I get the packages and hide them before she gets home.

ROFLMAO!!!! Classic. I'm lucky in the fact that I order so much "small" stuff (i.e. diecast cars, paint supplies, etc.) my wife has stopped asking me what I bought/ordered.

You've got a point. I'm like Glenn, I'm done with times of laying on my back under a car in the street pulling out transmissions, etc. My back and knees have aged faster than the rest of my body.

Yep, that's exactly it Henry. When I retired from the Army I received disability for my lower back. It really doesn't give me problems, but when I start "lifting things up and putting them down" (LMAO) it flares up occasionally. Nothing sucks more than not being able to move because of my stupid lower back LOL. So, I'm sticking to building diecast cars these days ..........

I can handle lifting a toy car. Oh and 12 ounce curls are not a problem either LMAO!

Whenever you make it back out you're welcome to take it for a spin.

Sounds great Bob. I appreciate it. We are planning on heading out next year. However, I'm not sure if I will bring the Roush this time or just go without a Mustang. Still debating. All Vicky cares about is the beach, so that is covered LOL.

Glenn, I put a 2.76 pulley on mine and did a remote tune through 04sleeper. It's a dramatic difference from the stock pulley and that really isn't a significant modification.
I do have a brand new TVS in the box in my garage. I'm contemplating installing it, but mine only has 10k miles on it so I'm wondering if it's better left alone.

Thanks for the information Todd. If I decide to pull the trigger I may ask you a few more questions on the procedure.

It's pretty easy. I have the pulley removal tool as well so I can send that to you. Things just got more tempting eh?

Friend of mine has a 10th anniversary. It's been running the steggy stage 4 for close to a decade I'd say. It's his daily and has about 190k on it. The only issues have been the usual alternator problems and a clutch. Which I think he did around 160k.

I can deal with wear and tear items (belts, hoses, tires, clutch, alternator (provided it goes out because of normal wear, not over spinning), etc.). It's when they say I have lost compression, or there's a hesitation at WOT now or the engine is knocking after the install that worries me Bob LOL.

I guess we are the same then. I've gained some friends through meeting them and by providing my diecast service. Therefore, Zemedici is my friend too LOL..........

And yes, he is laughing!!!!

I can do the old changes, belts, spark plugs, etc. but I physically can't do the big things anymore, i.e. pulling trannys, motors, etc. But, from what I'm reading, a 3.1 or 2.9 pulley, belt and tune really isn't a big deal, mod wise.

It will have to be done under the cover of darkness so the enemy doesn’t see me taking my car apart. She likes the Terminator.

It's all in the tune. And you already know a tuner that has a handle on this set up.

That’s the car I surprised her with when she came home one day and opened the garage door. I was a very brave man that day. She probably has a few other choice names for it, but she likes riding in it much more than my 93.

Think we talked about this before but my wife is the same way dislikes the fox thinks it’s ugly, doesn’t like riding in it. However she loves the terminator.
