New Guy, back from puppiesan, and had to show off the "Toys"

June 02, 2010, 08:33:12 PM

Hey Guys/Gals,

I just recently transfered back to the States from puppiesan. Here are a couple of pics of the family "coral".......

The 88 TC: It is a completely stock TC, 5 spd, with absolutely no rust and a couple of small dings and scratches. I bought this from a local auction a couple of years ago, just before I went overseas. It's been in a garage collecting dust.....until now.

The 95 GT: Is my wife's. She is a serious Mustang nut (even has a beautiful running Mustang (horse) tattoo on her back). She wants to keep it 5.0 with a turbo in the future.

The 02 F150: Bought it new. Had to have something to haul the house stuff and tow the parts/cars around.

This is my other Turbo Ford project. A 93 LX, original 4 cyl. Still 4 cyl but with a little added pressure. I'm building this one for Standing Mile Racing. I won't spill the beans on the set up until it's tuned and putting down some consistant numbers. Search for "ecta-lsr.com" to see what I'm talking about.

It's great to be back home in the States and back in the TC Community! This is my last tour before retiring so many of you East Coast'rs will see me at the Get Togethers and local races. I hope to exchange stories and a few Beers if you're in the area......

Cheers

Hcor, thanks! You have a pretty nice collection yourself. If you hadn't pick up that 86 TC roller, I was going too. Congrats on the purchase!!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Ya, I'm a Navy Guy. Been in 18 years, 14 yrs on Ships, and this is my first real S Tour (and my last).

Originally, the 93 LX was going to be a simple 2.3 T swap and become a daily driver. Well a new baby, deployments and a War, have kept the project on the back burner. While in puppiesan, I got involved with Time Attack Racing at Mt. Fuji and started reading about Standing Mile and the push for 200 mph. I got hooked. I've dragged raced Fox bodies since 1987, got involved in SCCA Solo, and now I want to try something different (while still having fun with the other types of racing). I'm still debating making the 88TC the Standing Mile car and keeping the LX a DD. What do you think?
