First off, who all was at the show? Secondly, I'd like to meet a few of you, get some ideas as to what I could do with my car, etc..

Also like to say HI to SisuStang, and others, who I hopefully will meet..

Hey Jani! It was great to meet you (especially another Finn)!

The show was pretty successful for Joe & Paul (J&P). There was alot of people coming by each day, all day, & not much competiton from the other local shops there.

The only other Mustangworks member that I saw there was mmike, who I have already met last summer.

I got to drive that OPP Mustang back to the shop in Scarboro after the show! It was a hoot!

Hope to see you sometime again soon, maybe at the shop or on the streets!

I was there. Didn't spend any money. There was alot of rice there. Anything that claimed to be fast were all gutted. I was not impressed with the audio side there either.

Yeap, I bought a MAC Racers Choice shifter, ripped out the console the next day, and now I'm going to install it tonight.. And the MAC exhaust looked SO GOOD!! : )

Yeah, there was a lot of rice there... : )

smithbling.. I'm moving back to Waterloo in May, we gotta go for a ride, I want to see your car too (in real life)...

Sisustang, would you be able to help me with my car, I'm trying to figure out how to start, send me an email: jetuomi@yahoo.com
(oh yeah, what's the OPP mustang got for mods??)

TTYL guys!!

Hey guys.
Good to see you Sisu. I cant wait till spring maybe my car will be tuned by then (maybe even NOS). We will see if we can settle this bike vs car thing (j/k)
Sorry i didnt meet anyone else but i agree with the concensus on the show - too much rice.

The OPP Mustang was the same one that's in this March's issue of 5.0 Mustangs on the 5.0 news page.

It's pretty much stock, but does have handling upgrades. Unfortunately, it had snowtires on it so I couldn't test those upgrades too much...

It was my first oportunity to drive a 99/2000 GT for any decent length of time though. I was impressed.

85cobra - I was working at the J&P booth. I was the guy with the short hair. What did you guys buy?

Jani - I'll email you some ideas later. I only have access to the internet at work. I usually try to check sites & email every day or so right after work. When I have some time I'll send you an email. My address is kreijo@hotmail.com

85cobra · 01-31-2001, 03:13 PM

Hey SisuStang, I bought the 3.55 gears and my friend bought the 3.73's and the Mac shorty headers. You better remember us because we were there for the entire show! lol

hey 85cobra, can you tell me after you install the rear-end (3.55) and your friend installs his (3.73) how much better your car launches?? I'm looking for new gears actually first, instead of upgrading the engine, but I'm stuck between 3.55 or 3.73...

thanks

85cobra · 02-01-2001, 12:03 AM

You want a comparison jetuomi or just mine? It'll probably be awhile until either of us actually install the gear.
