Its been a while since I have been on the boards. Money has been tight so I couldn't get an F-body this year but I am still I love these V-6 cars. Lets see some pictures and the mods that people have been doing to their cars this year.

I don't really have the time to read 401 posts on the Turbo Chronicle, so If Doward or someone wouldn't mind summing that up quick I would love to read about it.

thikn i had read the turbo chronicles from the beginning, so here's a quick crash course i guess. Doward purhcased a turbocharger from a mitsubishi (i think) , got himself a set of ford injectors which he sent to cruizin performance for cleaning. He started to tackle the exhaust stuff (i'd look in the post for the pix atleast...they're neat) and routed the exhaust w/ PVC to get and idea of bends turns etc. After all of that was finished up, he ordered mandrel bent J pipes (think 4 of em) and has proceeded to the cut/weld section of this to make those pipes fit to where the turbo goes....theintercooler has already been installed, and im thinking hte turbo mightg be in now, but his digital got broke as far as i remember, so we have to wait a lil' bit more for pix.

Thanks. I guess I will check it out next time I am at my G/F's house. I am on dial up now and well Pictures take too long to load; I can wait 4 more days for high speed.

Project85 that car is coming along great. Can't wait till your done.
To the rest great to see the mods to the cars. I hope I can find one this fall, and retire my Sunbird next spring to drive an F-body again.
