My journey, from ricer to runner! (with pics of the come up!) Options

[easternpiro1]

Hey all, Its been overdue for a while but i guess better late than never, someone asked me to do a write up on how my car is running and all (i think lagos) thought i would do a lil more... ive been on this site for going on 2 years in february and i must say, overall ive met a BUNCH of great guys and gals here! Had a guy open his house to me and encouraged/looked out for me (thanks plyr) a guy who put up with my non stop questions (thanks lagos) and a guy who turned my car into the beast it is (thanks doc) all the names i didnt mention (jaws,rzanology,shin,herbalife,celicab,coomer) and a bunch of others wanted to say thanks! appreciate all the help!

but i thought i would like to show some pics of what my car used to look like 5 years BEFORE i knew anything about 6gc



not bad looking, basic celi...

1st Mom backed into my stepdad's 84 crown vic (of course not a damn scratch on the crown vic, its a TANK) notice the exaust tip for an extra 80hp and a nice sound (I swear to you, when someone made that true life: im a ricer check list, i checked on more than half of em!

2000 greensboro nc, hit somebody in a damn NEON who ran their turnsignal light, almost head on (and NO insurance didnt pay for SH!T...cop said "well i wasnt here, so i cant tell who's at fault, put nobody at fault, and at the time, my mom let the insurance lapse and collision didnt go into effect yet.

As usual, airbag goes off and WILL shatter windshield

more damage...



you guys know the rest of the story

the st215 is running like a champ! just put in a mbc and got it up to 16 pounds (it rapes everything) everything about the motor is stock except for the rediculously loud turbo xs RFL BOV looking to get upgraded in feb-march by the good dr tweak...looking for a beater in the meantime

CHEERS GUYS!

Raper huh??? You might want to have that edited to "rapper" lest someone come in and harrass you more than me. Unless that's what you meant, lol.

Get that motor on a dyno and she what she does. Dr. Tweak is the man, nuff said.

Nice job man. I've been wanting to know how that ST215 was running in your celi. Can't wait to see dyno chart and some run times. But all in all i can't wait till i can swap my 3s lol.

now go put it on a dyno, so that we know just what kind of power those things put down.

I know its off topic, but i used to live in Greensboro on an Army Base when my dad was in the Air Force. I was little, and an army brat so i moved frequently. Dont remember the name of the base though...

anyways....


back to topic. Love your car, wish i could afford the 3S setup

I love that ST215 swap. 16PSI? Damn nice! I'm thinking about running to Dr Tweak after I get enough money in for him. Thinking about going 3S-GE VVTi BEAMs Turbo with Garrett T3/T4 with port and polish and forged internals. That's my 3SGTE dream.
