    FS: 1993 Reef Blue LX

    FS: 1993 Reef Blue LX - Price Change! I'm sure some a you will know this car. But for those who do not, I will give a quick rundown. I purchased it last summer from Dave after my Mach 1 was totaled. I've had my fun with the car, learned a lot from it, but it's time to let it go so I can be...

    Calling upon the SVTP detectives

    So, about a month ago I had about $400 worth of Snap-On tools that I tool to the track with me to do a little maintenance on my car after making passes. Well, they wound up in the wrong hands. Admittedly, it was my fault, I had too much trust in somebody they was not worthy of it. After...

    Got to drive a friend's GT500

    Well, I've driven it a couple times before, but this time I hooked up the GoPro and recorded a few pulls. I came home and thew 'em all together right quick. I got the feel of the car during the first pull - the last pull I think was the best. She's fun! :banana: This is also the same Shelby I...

    And thus begins my quest for suspension/traction

    Well, the '93 has become much more of a street/strip car than I had anticipated. I got the car, made a few passes at the track and, needless to say, I was unhappy with my times. I know the car has much more left in it. With the power it has, I can see mid 11's. But, with just lowering springs...

    Yippee!

    I've been friends for a while with the guy who did a lot of wrenching on my Mach. I got a call from him yesterday saying he wants his trailer and racecar detailed. First off, this trailer is HUGE. Secondly, his "racecar" is a 1998 Cobra body that's been fully built and puts down 2000 to the...

    Can anybody make sense of this?

    So, here's my predicament. The first time I took the fox to the track, it was losing spark past 5500 RPM's (stock ignition was topped out). So, shifting at 5000 RPM's, and even throwing it into 5th (overdrive) for the last 100 yards, the best I ran was a 12.2 @ 112. I throw an MSD into the car...

    Another race in the '93.

    Being Sunday fun day, I was out with the club cruising around. There was probably 25 of us or so. I had Perry, the main negotiator come up to me saying somebody might want to race me. I found out his mods and took him up on it. There's not too much of a story to this one. New-edge GT (not...

    First time out with the Fox

    It was an interesting night - and somewhat disappointing. For some reason (and I'm thinking tune), the car is retarding timing and making the rev limiter come about 800rpms sooner than it should. The rev limiter is set to 6300, but tonight the highest I saw was 5800, and the lowest was 5500...

    Scheduled race for tomorrow night.

    So lately I've been rolling with a local mustang club. The guy who got me involved in it I met the day I drove the car home. We've both been sorta pondering a race against each other just to see just where my car is and how it's performing. 1st race: from a dig up to 120 2nd race: from...

    My second race in the new fox.

    I was out with a buddy in his F150 and we meet a guy with a 2007 GT500 Super Snake - he told me it dyno'd right at 650hp to the tire. We get to chatting some more and I told him a little about my car back home in the garage. I asked if he wanted to run 'em and he said, "Why not?" So he takes me...

    Finally got it...

    ...my first tattoo, that is. I've been wanting this for several years and I always knew this would be the first one I would get. I'm in San Diego visiting my brother before he comes home with me on leave and had the opportunity to get it inked on by a very good artist that's done about 100...

    Any tobacco pipe smokers?

    Since my birthday was yesterday and I've been getting into cigars, I went to my local Tinder Box and bought a meerschaum pipe - it's my own birthday present to myself. Can't wait for it to start coloring! So who all smokes cigars or pipes? Post what your favorite cigars/tobacco blends are!
