SOLD. Awesome to meet you Clemente! Hope you enjoy the car as much as I did. Sad to see her go. I can already see why those who sell their Terminators eventually think about buying another one.

Snapped some pics of the FIT setup. I also installed a quick disconnect for a battery tender. Thanks on the earlier comment on pricing. I have it up for sale locally for a bit more $$ but I figured a forum member might want to ship it, so I wanted to keep overall cost reasonable.

Speaking of forgetting details, I added the Stifflers FIT system to the description. I have the sub frame connectors, stiffening rails and web brace installed. Really took the "convertible" feel out of the car. Tons better than without! Pics when I find them.

I did forget but it is updated now. You get so wrapped up in the details and pics, sometimes you forget the obvious....

Few more pics..

I'm selling my Torch Red 10th Anniversary Terminator convertible. 26K Miles. The car is in excellent shape. Looking for $24K. Mostly stock with a just a few minor modifications: 2.8" JDM pulley with Stiegemeier Stage 8 Port (made 507HP/518TQ at the wheels at Elite Performance here in Denver)...

PM Sent.

If you the OP is still looking, I came across a 2004 CO Cobra with 18,800 here in Denver (I always troll Craigslist - you never know). It says it's a twin turbo making 700+ HP. I won't post the link here so it doesn't look like I am trying to sell it but just do a search - guy says he wants...

Looks good. If you do get it, port the blower at some point if you are not going to replace it. I'm running a Steig port with a 2.8 upper/stock lower and making 507/518. If you get that thing breathing right to compliment the other mods, it will be some serious fun! In terms of price, I hope...

If you want to go with a new brace and offset your cost, I will buy your old one (assuming it is in good shape, which it probably is). I just ported my Eaton and have no plans to replace it. PM me if you are interested. Thanks.

Anti-venom mod was one of the best I did. Started with two washers but that was a bit too loose for me. Settled on one and it feels awesome. You can totally do it with just a jack and a few stands. I struggled for a bit with extensions and stuff so I just made a tool for it from an extra...

I'd like to see a before/after of the bolster if not too much trouble. I ordered a DVD and replaced the top myself on my old GT. I think it came out pretty good but man, it was a lot of labor. Guys who really know what they're doing make it look easy.

Yeah so I just read the part about "the car is at 419k"... I don't think you need MY advice. Holy smokes!

I brought my intercooler and upper intake to a local guy who does diesel particulate filters (apparently they are really expensive to replace). He said his ultrasonic tank was plenty big enough and charged me about $80 bucks to let both parts sit in it for a few hours. Just a suggestion but...

Thanks. I have only driven it a few days but I do notice the difference both low end torque and power in the higher RPM range. There is more SC whine when I do hit it (fine with me!). It pulls like crazy in every gear (2nd is my favorite because I can enjoy it without speeding too much). I...

It is a dynobob port. He told me the same - no tune required because I was not changing the pulley and therefore the boost level. The port would just make the blower more efficient at moving the air. I got it tuned mainly because I was not happy with the last tune and I also wanted them to...

Port: Steggy Stage 8 Pulley: 2.8 JDM upper Boost: I don't know.. whatever a stock lower and a 2.8 upper makes! Compression: ? (starting to feel uninformed) Ported heads: No Ported lower: No Exhaust: Stock Manifolds, Magnaflow w/catted x Intake: JLT CAI, Ported Accufab throttle body and ported...

Cool thanks for the input on the belt. I'll hang on to the shorter one for a few weeks just to be sure. On another note, I just got the car back from the tuner. All we get up here at altitude is 91 octane so I think it turned out pretty respectable numbers at 507 RWHP and 518 TQ. Here are...

I have everything back together and it goes to the shop for a tune and dyno on May 8th. I figured I would put a new belt on since the old one was starting to develop some cracks. I went with the Gates Fleetrunner green belt. Well, four of them actually..o_O The first one I bought was 74"...

Yeah - for sure typo and probably meant in-lb. I went with 10Nm, about 8 ft-lb The o-rings seal in the coolant, so really all the bolts are doing is seating the coolant manifold to the lower intake and sealing in the boost pressure. Nice new o-rings and gasket: Back to the manual - I think...

OK, does 89lb-ft plus 90 degrees seem like A LOT of torque for the coolant lines? Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture? It's right out of the 2003 shop manual. How does 25 Nm=18lb-ft for the SC to lower intake but 10 Nm=89 lb-ft for the coolant manifold?? I guess I'll...

Some more parts arrived. Holy expensive. I admit, I generally prefer to use factory stuff on factory stuff. I even bought a Ford replacement battery. I ordered a new gasket and new o-rings for the intercooler inlet/outlet and they came in today to the tune of $78. Does this make me an idiot...

Here was the "before":

Thanks - I was wondering about that being the case. I definitely thought I scraped some gasket material off when I disassembled it. Maybe I did not take enough pics or I am just getting old and imagining it. One end did have some gray RTV on it but I thought maybe Ford put a few dabs on areas...

Yeah, Stage 8 - sounds impressive, right? No port before, although my tuner thought there would be due to the accufab single blade. Here are a few more pics. I'm hunting for the SC to Intercooler gasket but it's not listed anywhere. I even went to the Ford dealer and they have no record of...
