Yep thats right folks, no camera phone pix this time. shes clean and ready to show as of friday afternoon. not much to look at yet, but with what i had done fronday afternoon and saturday, she is now

First, the list of mods:

-5 angle Valve Job
-Ported and Polished head
-steel headgasket, running 11:1 compression ratio (original ratio is 9:1)
-Gutted Cat and Precat
-Sylvania Silverstars (love em)
-Falken Zeix ZE512's


New mods this Weekend:

1 JL Audio 10" 10W2 Subwoofer
Ported enclosure
600 Watt Kenwood Amplifier
50x4 Mosfet Kenwood Cd Player

Not much, but she bumps enough. and she sounds clean! no rattles at all, just crisp, clear bass.

oh, i also had window tint applied to the front and rear side windows, nothing on the rear glass yet. the guy that did my sides wasnt keen on attmpting a rear window with thsi kind of curve. and thats fine, i will pay a little to have it done locally. the tint was free, its 3m film, 20%.

^thats my buddie's green blazer across the parking lot. He has 2 13.5" JL Subs and a Rockford Fosgate T1001 amp pushing 840 watts to each speaker...its gorgeous. his HU is a Kenwood Excelon.


^What REALLY counts: the 2.0L DOHC Zetec with Variable Cam Timing


The stock HU and HVAC controls.


^all the audio stuff waiting to be installed!


This one i took tonite, right outside the BOSS (Better Opportunites for Single Soldiers) Center. they have an internet connection with USB ports so i can show you all this stuff! next post, the tour of Ft Drum.

^this is part of the Rally Course here on post. they hold scheduled weekend events. its sanctioned with emergency crews and military police standing by. its really fun. all cars are welcome to enter but you race at your own risk. I have only driven the course, never actually raced on it.


^more of the rally course, with a nice view. and my temp. registration.


^the 4-wheelin trails. if you dont know what your doing...dont attempt. the road i was on was gravel (part of the rally course), no i did not attempt to go through that in the escort. crazies. :blink:


^more of the beatiful view, and the rally course.


^Part of the motor pool where i work. Humvee anyone?
and dont laugh at the chains, my dad brought them back from saudi in desert storm. They are up there as a tribute to his service.


^My parking area, all muddy...ewwwwww. thats my motor pool in the background.


^the motor pool again.

^My Barracks. they arent bad rooms. about 12x14 with a sink and kitchenette. share a bathroom with the room next to you.


^4th Armored Division road, my motor pool is around that bend.


^Thats clark hall, where all In-processing and welcome briefings are held. its conveniently located all in one spot, instead of like most bases where you have to drive around to different buildings and stiff, but finance, transportation (for moving), ID cards, Medical, SGLI, its all done here. good stuff.


^North Memorial Drive, took it int he sunlight, i guess it didnt turn out.


^took on eof the interior, while i was driving, i shouldnt have dont that probably, but hindsights always 20/20. camera was on already, so all i had to do was pick up and snap the photo.


Just a random pic i thought was good. Its next to the Library.

Well, any questions? comments? suggestions? Not a bad little runabout for $6,000 with an additional 4 year/48K mile warranty.

and before you say it, no, i dont want to lower it, we get over 8 ft of snow every winter.

Nice shots of Ft. Drum there chief! Its always good to know that the Military has a playful side and allows their soldiers the ability to participate in something like those rallies. Hurry up and get the pics of the stuff installed already!!!

nthach

Not a bad car

And the military life looks tempting, i dunno if can make it past basic training though!

ArmyofOne

If i can make it, anyone can. its easy, all you have to do is stay motivated. ask a few of the guys around here about my past, i was heavy, i still am, but its musle now. i lost 125lbs just so i could join. Its worth it.

I will get some pix tonite, no idea when they can go up though. and the t-stat problem wasnt a t-stat. the guys that did the install on the stereo, didnt hook the wires for the heater back up
