5oh, apparently the Opel dealer is STILL waiting on parts. Maybe I'll have my car back by the time you are finished with yours..

Hey 5'ohhh,

Do you really have a car or is it just a picture of one??? Whats with keeping secrets?

Yes I have a car, I just dont got any pics yet. I am in the same situation a lot of you are. My car grew jack stands out the bottom of it. When I get a pic I will post it. So Jack what was wrong with your car did they say?

I am too afraid to ask.. I will ask when I pick it up.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has the Jack stand problem. I'm thinking of welding some on to my car. I've been in germany 1 1/2 and I think it's seen jack stands 75% of that time. All I can say is one more month and I'll be out hauling Azz on the bauhn once again.

Are you doing you own work or having some one else doing it? I do my own work so I dont have to wait for some one else to do it when only they have the time. I have been reading the other posts and I see some of you have been waiting for a long time for this Tony guy to work on your car. Me and a friend of mine are looking in to renting a whole building to have as a garage. It is suppose to be 250 sq. meters. I may have room for another person if anyone in K-town wants to get in on this. I have heaters and alot of tools. I have just about eveything you could need. Is anyone going to Darmstadt this weekend?

How much is this place to rent? May have a interested member here. Majority of us do our own work and go to Tony's to use his shop. Yeah sometimes the wait is long but there's other factors in play you aren't aware of.

Still ain't gonna reveal what color, model, yr etc are you? Is it a legit 5.0 or 4.6?

Mine is still under warranty, so that's why I took it to them. As soon as the warranty is up, I'll be doing a lot more on my own.

I do all my own work on my car. I have this complex that someone may do somthing bad and never tell me about it. (Ooops his head bolt is stripped don't worry he'll never know.) I'm in the process of rebuilding an engine as soon as I get off force protection. I should be up and running in a few short 3 weeks that is of course if everything goes as planned.

John hey man I didn't have to leave today for force protection. I'll be heading out on sunday morning at oooooooh dark 0400. There are rumors of more force protection starting in August. I hope not I think I lose it and go awol just to fix my car.

ZBLK it is a 5.0 for now Im in the middle of getting a 327 stroker kit everything forged. I am waiting on my f-303 cam to come in. Last night I was trying to figure where in the hell I was going to mount my MSD6-BTM. With the Steeda max pipe I might be able to place it under it. I am thinking of going to an 8 rib system for when I go up to 12- 14 PSI. I am thinking of a 100 shot too just for those ace in the hole things. I know I need to redo my torque boxes before I get the boost. I have to call and see what is up with stroker kit. If they keep messing around Ill leave it as a 5.0 till I go back to the states. And Ill just redo my heads.

Did you hit the lottery or something? It took me re-enlisting and 4 months in the desert to get most of my $hit. Anyway, good luck with the build-up. Mike

when do ya leave? I was thinking about changing the oil in my sixer and installing new pushrods. This winter i will put a roll cage in it.

Nice sixer bruce. I was finally able to download your video from the board that thing SCREWS down the track NICE

I wish I had! Do you know what kind of shat I could do then. I just get lucky and find some really good deals. Like the forged stroker with full floating dished pistons, forged I beam rods fully ballanced was for $1300. But like I said I may have to hold out on that. But I am still going to get my heads redone. I found a good ol boy who will port and polish them for damn near free. And that is with CNC and all. I should have my f-303 cam and the f series srings by next month. I am also waiting for my mass air for 30 lbs injectors. I got my Vortech super FMU and dump off valve. So if I dont stroke it , it may be back on the road sooner than I thought.

Bruce you are the one with 396 right? What are you doing in the qtr?

No that is John with the 396 stroker. I forgot the displacement but it is 330+ Hapees for sure and I plan to eat a stroked and blown 5 something ford. I recently bent a pushrod when it slammed the rev limiter computer is set for 7000 tach said 6500 darn stock tach does not keep up.

Bruce I have a new bord name for you PINOCHEO 330+ hp don't you want to raise that a bit.

So you have 330 horses at the wheels or flywheel? And we will see if you beat me or not. I just want to race win or lose its fun as hell. If I lose oh well more modding to be done till I dont lose. I will let you know as soon as I am back on the road. And we will get together. Where are you at anyway?

OKAY 331-335 Hapees

SMART AZZ At least let him know what he's up against. You've always been the James Bond of the bord/ The Car of Mystery
