      Oh thats probably only about half of what all I have done. Those are just the things that stand out more.

      In the last year I have been megasquirted N/A, supercharged with MS, hybrid motor with highly ported heads/ ZE cams on MS, hybrid motor stock ECU, gone back and forth on the Millie MAF about 4 times... I just cant leave it alone.

        I wonder how long it will take me to pass you this time. Probably awhile considering this time I'm broke.

          that was my problem jim, going with a "stock" hybrid and adding a CAI, caddi exhaust, mx6 tranny, mx3 flywheel, xtd stage 3 clutch, 2 stages of nitrous. the only thing it cost me was time, a few knuckles and about a billion dollars. thats why i gave them up. I HATE CARS. now i have a truck with a CAI, custom exhaust, tuned computer, 75mm TB and assorted go fast goodies with the ignition and electronics. Not to mention prolly cams in the near future. Im like you i can't leave anything alone, but the f150 doesn't break and it doesn't break the bank. i love having a mustang engine. everything fits lol. someone please save me from myself. how about a cosworth engine in the escort lol.

            So what your saying is, you are still doing the same thing, only now you need a step stool to work on it.




            I mess with my car because I enjoy it immensely. I dont do it because I want to be the fastest thing around. If I never run at a track ever again, it wouldn't bother me a bit. I do it for my own pleasure and my need to satisfy my curiosity. Stuff like that sc14 supercharger that many people told me was a waste of time to try to use. Ask Jimmy how that turned out.
            The driving force behind me boosting again? I simply HAVE to know if the MAF setup can handle it.

                I have to do a few more things to the passenger side light before its done. But I have been running them flawlessly since I first installed them. Eventually i will make surrounds for them but that is waaay far down the list of things to do right now.
                The really cray thing is, I have (well HAD. Millie Maf setup took care of that) no CEL. Funny thing though is, I can set up the vac system on a KL from memory so I guess its sheer lazyness that I dont have it all functional.

                    These completely close when off and have custom linkage so that the lights go up and down just like stock but are sleepy.

                            Now I have the blues....



                            Tokico Blues.

                            And sporting a stock-ish PCV setup with a relocated PCV valve.


                            I just now realized I think I have a relocating fetish.
                            Things relocated:
                            PCV valve
                            Battery (fender)
                            HVAC controls
                            HVAC vacuum box
                            Stereo (pass. airbag)
                            Radiator fans
                            cig. outlets
                            cruise buttons
                            Diag. box
                            VRIS solenoids
                            Soon to be relocated oil filter. This should be neat because I will utilize the stock housing.

                            Current state of the bay as of today.
