Rude's ?? Who is Rude?

The dude

Did you mean for the thread title to be "Rude's" and not "Rudel's" ?

Dude that car is SICK!!!

Rude's is what I meant and thanks JP!

So I'm in the van now driving back home. She asks what I'm reading, and said a v8 swap (slowpoke's). She then says, is that the swap your talking about?

I say, is that what u want me to do?

She says, if you want....LOL.

UH OH!

Would be nice...lol, but I did order my Lentech today. He'll start building it next week!

who is "he"?

Len

YES I BOUGHT JARED'S TURBO KIT.

Keep it on the down-low at FF and FJ.

you already have a built short block?

Ohhhhh shit!

Congrats sir. I won't say a word

Indeed... 2.3 stroker with 4340 billet steel rods and crank, and custom CP pistons.

4drSVT already tried to blow up your spot in Jared's thread on FJ.

Woot woot!

I think 4drSVT is Tom, ....low post count and wants Jared's kit?

Tom PMd me several times asking why I feel the need to use Top-Speed's "turbo stuff"...LOL.

Congrats man. Can't wait to see it on the car.

What? Are you serious? Please report those PM's to FF. FF needs to know about more of his bad habits, and then we can yell and scream at FF.

Yes, report him. And a little bird has said Tom may have a few Fj accounts.

Well, I finally finished paying Jared and Bryan for the turbo kit and GTX3582R.

Also bought Turbosmart's eBoost 2 for boost by gear/rpm. Looking to buy a SCT Touchscreen Xtreme since I can't push buttons well......ok, because it looks cool too...lol

I don;t think 4drsvt is tom.. That guy is trying to buy my roush sideskirts right now and gave me a zipcode for shipping to Philly. Doesn't tom live somewhere by detriot or chicago? I could be wrong, but I don't think it's him.

- Mike

Its not, I was just saying. Tom's from NC, but retired to Mexico.

Congrats on the purchase i bet your ready to get started

I can't wait. But first I need to get my car turned into an automatic. Somehow take my SCT LL3 file, cut & paste values from it into the auto ECU tune with adjustments. Think Fernando can do this? Once done, my wife can drive to Mobility Freedom to get my controls put in.

I can't do anything myself anymore, so when I'm ready, I'm gonna need all the help I can get.

Right now Lentech is looking for a T2 to finish the mission. Bryan said Jared's is for sale but haven't heard from them in 2 days. Capaldi is checking their inventory for me.

I bought Jared's fuel system too. Basically transplanting...hahaha.

So Jim, you have a work shop/garage? I have a garage, but all my lifts, cherry picker, and tools are in Japan storage...FTL.

I got a 8 car garage, no lift but everything to get the job done. im here for any help you need

Any? More like all...haha

If i can afford a trip down there, i'd be more then willing to lend a hand when you start.

Same here!

triple! Especially if its summer time cuz I wont have classes to deal with! just need a couch...

Yahhhp, no summer classes FTW

Sweet...appreciate guys!

Alright, I've changed the 1st post to show what I want to have done. I really don't have a clue how long this will take. As you know already, I will need all the help I can get, and I appreciate your comments.

Come August, I'll be picking up my car in Illinois. I'll be at FocusFest showing off the car and accepting the donations from the fundraiser that is going on at the FF forums. Afterwards, the car will be down here in Florida no later than the 16th. By then, the major important stuff should have arrived.

I'd like to get the following done to the car:

• Take out interior, wiring, engine & transmission
  
• At the same time:
  
• ---Get the RS parts put on, rolled, and painted
  
• ---Install new engine parts, clean it, paint
  
• ---Modify the SVT and/or ATX harness to work with SVT Engine and ATX ECU.

• Install mobility freedom controls.
  

Next at the same time

• Suspension Everything
  
• 5-Lugs
  
• My Japanese Weds Sports 17x9s
  

I'll be working 40 hours a week, but I'm sure I'll be able to find the time to come over and lend a hand, I would love to help build an "RS".

Same with me, although it'll be school killing me and not so much work. I can't wait to help

I just wish I could help. I love wrenching.

How does a thread go this far without pics....lol


Lentech ATX has arrived!

GIVE US PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pics or ban. I'm serious.
