Re: Proving Grounds 2011- June 25-26

AAAAA....Guess I won't be competing. Verizon ripped me a new one with my cancellation fee, so all the funds I was saving for the helmet and new suspension setup went to them. I'll still be going, but I can't get a helmet in time. Car payment is due this next paycheck, so that's out the window. FAIL!

Re: WTB: Gauge cluster w/tach 05-07

I found one at pams in st.cloud that I picked up friday but it only had 25 on it. Best part is they wanted 90 for it and I got it for50 I hate you...lol! Just kidding. Yeah, I've checked eBay, but the only ones I have seen on eBay is the 00-04, and mine is an 07, so I don't know if they are compata...

Re: I miss....

I've got a friend that has the rival to the Metro...the Ford Espire, and he loves that thing. He was telling me how he can put some turbocharged Mazda engine in it. Don't remember which one it was though.

Re: Before the return of Winter!

I've been having a bit too much fun with Photoshop, and created this from my favorite picture. It's the same pic from my sig, but the full size version.

Hell, I'd do both. Road racing sounds fun too. BIR is only like 2.5 hours away from here.

Re: Proving Grounds 2011- June 25-26

Ooo! I've always wanted to try Auto-X! If my job approves my time-off request, I'll be there. I'm pretty sure I can only compete in the enthusiast class, but hey, I'd like to at least give it a shot. Maybe I'll convince my friend to track his 427R clone, since he has always wanted to try it.

Re: WTB: Gauge cluster w/tach 05-07

That's what I thought too, but apparently, they are somehow different. Looking through FocalJet, and how many people have done tach conversions, that the early Focii gauge clusters won't work on the new cars. If anything, I'll just save up and buy a brand new ST gauge cluster from Ford. But I was ho...

Re: Before the return of Winter!

I kinda got that vibe from the duluth guys by watching their forum. They kinda seemed full of themselves... :? Aitkin is more of a "truck" town than a small car town. I have both and they are reasonably "stock" other than one :wink: They are unbelievable. The only guy that I can...

WTB: Gauge cluster w/tach 05-07

I hate that my car does not have a tachometer, and I DO NOT want to install an aftermarket one, so I'm looking to see if anyone has an extra gauge cluster that will work for a 2005-2007 that has the tach. Also, one that has somewhere between 40-50K on the clock, because miles can only be added, not ...

Nice to see another photo peep.
Haha! Thanks, I've been into photography for a long time, but I've never been serious in it until about a year ago. I'm still pretty awkward with the studio lights, but I am getting a little bit better.

Re: Before the return of Winter!

Some of those yard ones have distracting backgrounds. Also looks like you have quite a bit of reflections in your photos, maybe you need a circular polarizer There was a MN Contour SVT owner up there in Virginia area, but he sold his car a year or two ago. Thanks, my friend (who is also into Roush'...

Re: Offical Spotted Thread

Best Buy parking lot in Duluth. Black debadged SVT with some kind of black rims (possibly EAP rims), carbon fiber hood with vents in it. Grill mesh in the hood was painted red. Saw about a week ago. Possibly a different exhaust, I don't remember offhand.

Re: Before the return of Winter!

Yeah, I'm waaaay up here. And unfortunately, there are no tuners in the area. Just a really riced out Cobalt SS S/C and a ton of old DSM's (none of them the turbo models). Not to mention the average age of Virginia is 65, so...classics are overly abundant. Someone has to let me know when there is a ...

Before the return of Winter!

Took some shots today before we got dumped on. Instead of posting them to Photobucket, I thought I'd try my Flickr account instead. I'll give you the link for that, because I'd link them all if I could. http://www.flickr.com/photos/litestorm1 ... otostream/

Re: Member Gallery v. 2011

This is what my car looked like 2 days ago http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd90/Midnightflame185/DSC_0756.jpg First photoshoot ever using softboxes. I could have used my tripod, and I should have brought one more softbox. But, they didn't turn out bad for my first time. http://i227.photobucket.co...
