My only current play toy is my 86 Mercury Capri RS 5.0. It is turbo'd inter-cooled, and has an AEM programmable engine management system.

Here it is when I first got it




I used to be into Off-roading

Used to be into bikes

This car looks bada$$ an i have never heard nor seen one of these ever beore. Also, it looks like it was the biggest money pit ever for a while!!!! But it looks like you allready got everything all done up and ready to go, and good job too! This is what i have right now, and i still have soo many more things to do to the stock interior, but i am currently low on funds with a tegu in the works, which is completely worth it!!!

Thanks, they only made 282 t-top 5.0s in 86 so there werent that many around. Unfortunately I was doing a 3rd gear roll on and when it came on boost, the transmission exploded. My options for replacement hasn't been that good(I dont want to spend 4K for a manual trans that will hold up to the #s I'm making). Good news is I am going to start building my own transmissions. I will have 3 spares, and I can swap them out in about 2hrs so I can put one in every couple of months(if they hold that long...)
I love vehicles, but I would be in such better financial shape if I would have never gotten into them.

I wish I had a pic of my first ride. A '68 Olds Delta 88, 455ci, 2 bbl carb, rusted green. Averaged 11mpg. It was so big I kept a 10 speed bike in the back seat, just opened the door and threw it in!! The engine compartment was so big I could have moved over the 455 and fit another!! Great to work on! It had vinyl seats, add Armour All, some friends not wearing seat belts, and some corners and you've got some really bruised friends as they wildly slide all over the back seat!!! That was funnier than sh**!!!! Hole shots at the beach!! Life was good!!!

my other hobby

I Love mustangs sorry it took so many times to get the pics up

 

[DaveDragon]

the picture has to be uploaded to a site such as PhotoBucket. You can't link to your hard drive.

 

[dorton]

link doesn't work. Looks like you will need to host it before you can put the link up. But do share, I luv some vehicles

 

[red_tegu28]

The easy way is to upload them to Photo Bucket.com then copy the last code and paste it in here.

Thats funny, my wifes civic is what we took last year. I had just finished my turbo setup, and sync'd the AEM, but nowhere local could complete my 3.5" exhaust by the time I was headed down and I did not want to drive 4hrs one way with open 3.5" down pipe exiting at the base of the firewall.

What part of SC are you from?

 

[red_tegu28]

I am from Rock Hill sc about 10 min from charlotte nc

 

[VARNYARD]

No problem, glad to help!!

And welcome to the site!!

This is my car (my second) i used to have, this picture was taken the day I put it up for sale.
It is a 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu (not a true SS just needed somthing for the grille) 350 V8, Auto, Bench/Vinyl, Black Interior, Power Steering, Edelbrock Performer EPS Intake Manifold and Edelbrock Performer 4bbl 650CFM Carburator, And you armoralled those bench seats at your own risk! because you, yourself would go flying while trying to drive! The Speedo goes to 120, but my friend paced me one time at 145! Needless to say, that car was not designed to go that fast and it scared the crap out of me because I was NOT in control at that point hahaha

 

[dorton]

Red_tegu28,
Thats cool, I have a couple of friends into stangs down in that area.

Coldthirst,
That would have been a cool one to hang onto, the old muscle cars prices are skyrocketing!

 

[red_tegu28]
