I've been lurking this site for quite a while and finally joined. I don't own a S197 but I'm a big Ford guy. I'm also here as a local car club founder looking to grow our interest. (not spam) We are known as the Mid-Atlantic Domestics (MAD) Crew.
I have two project cars. The first is my 1993 Mustang LX that started out as a 2.3L 4 banger and I'm currently doing a 5.0 swap. It's within just a couple weeks of completion. It is a stock 302 cast iron long block with the following done:
- Comp XE270HR-12 cam (.512 lift, 270 adv. duration)
- Trickflow dual valve springs with steel retainers
- Edlebrock Performer intake manifold
- Holly 4160 600cfm carb (vacuum secondaries, electric choke)
- Hooker equal length shorty headers
- BBK o/r H pipe
- 2.5" MAC dumps
- Summit HEI distributor
- Ford Racing 10mm plug wires
- A/C delete
- Freshly rebuilt AOD trans (less than 300 miles on it)
- Silverfox SPT-1 valve body
- TCI 2400 stall converter
- Ford Racing trans fluid cooler
- Maximum motorsports solid motor mounts
- 8.8 rear w/ 3.73 gears, LSD, rear disc conversion
This is how it currently sits.
My second project is my 2007 Ford Focus. I bought it new in Feb. 07 and have loved it. It's a 2.0L Duratec 3 door hatch with a 5 speed manual. It's not your average Focus though. Here's the mod list.
- FSWerks Stage 2 turbo kit
- Garrett GT28RS turbo
- Cast turbo manifold
- FSWerks tuned @ 11psi
- Garrett FMIC
- Bosch 42# injectors
- NGR Type-S BOV
- 2.5" SS downpipe
- 2.5" SS race exhaust
- VF engineering poly rear motor mount
- stock internals, stock valvetrain, all stock long block
- Exedy stage 2 ceramic clutch with aluminum flywheel
- SVT 5 spoke wheels
- Dunlop Dizzera Z1 Star Spec 225/45/17s
- EBC drilled and slotted rotors
- Hawk HPS pads
- Eibach Sportlines springs/shocks/struts
- Steeda 26mm rear swaybar
- steel endlinks w/ poly bushings
- Gutted interior
- Corbeau A4 seats
- Corbeau 3 point harnesses
Here's a couple recent pics of it.
I'm glad to be here and hope to learn alot.
