    So much for Golf!!!

    Second round out this past monsoon season I rolled my right ankle so bad I thought I broke it. So I took that as an omen that I needed to redirect my interest back into cars. I decided to put the factory converter back in the 14 so it would be enjoyable for me to drive again. I arrived at Finishline for the swap out and 30 minutes later I find myself without a Mustang. Brian Campbell bought the 14 from me Brandy and she has since named it Bella. I did a quick search and found a couple of S550's within 2 hours of here that were already tweaked a bit and another at PBD owned by one of the guys there. I first went to see the one at Beechmont and it was sold. Called PBD and of course Mike's car was also sold. That left this 17 in Indy at Ray Skillman. I went to see it and test drove it. A few weeks later after the sale was final with Brian I went and picked this 17 up. Its a GT premium with NAV and auto. A 2300 TVS w 80mm pulley, ID 1050x injectors, twin 67mm TB, and JLT 125mm CAI are the goodies under the hood. I am currently tuning it with Palm Beach Dyno. The tune on the car was not right. It is scheduled to go on the rollers for the WOT tuning session on Tuesday. So I will then have some idea what it will make. It's White Platinum Tricoat (UG). I kept my five spokes and swapped them over to it. Here's the pics. The exhaust is that obnoxious Roush with an X-pipe. So I am in search of an AWE catback system. The cats will remain on it Steve as well as the factory manifolds. IRS upgrades are already in the basement from BMR. Here are a few pics. Just call me Eurostang trash.

    Thank you gents. Couldn't beat the deal. Would have cost me another 5-7K at minimum (just for parts) to buy a stock premium with fewer options to have the same mods. Just hope it is as fun as the 14 was.

    Cant wait to see what kind of power it makes and some 1/4 mile times!

    I almost want to go buy an 18 with the auto and beat on it!

    That said I just hope it makes more than the 14. I'll make passes with it but I'm not going to be running the challenge list again. I've had my day in the sun. After all I was number 1 last year for almost a half hour.....until that orange beast foiled everything. That's almost two 15 minutes of fame. LOL!

    Yeah well, I'm gonna do both but just not be as dedicated to either hobby. I find I also curse less while making a pass than while watching the misguided flight of my golf bal as it heads out of bounds and into the woods. But then that evens out when I am pulling plugs or a TB and the socket finds its way down into a tucked away place in the engine bay that takes longer to dig out than the actual job at hand.
