I can't believe I just found this place a few days ago. Here are some pictures of my 1987 TC with 63K miles on it (came from Arizona). Mods include:
-Full 3" straight exhaust
-Boost controller @ 17 PSI
-SPEC Stage 3 Clutch and Aluminum Flywheel
-Corbeau FX1 Racing Seats
-Chuck W. Poly motor mounts, Energy Poly tranny mount and tranny bushings
-ROH Snyper Rims (17X9 in back, 16X8 up front), M/T Drag Radials
-Kirban AFPR
Soon to come:
-Ranger Radiator
-Large NPR intercooler
-Forge RS BOV
-Ported/Polished Intake Manifolds
-T3 Turbo
-Various Powder Coated parts for effect :)
Last year I went drag racing once (with only 3" exhaust, boost controller and new clutch/flywheel) and ran a 15.14 on old hard street tires. Shooting for 13's this summer. Are there any midwesterners on the board? I had my car at the Car Craft Summer Cruise last year, I may have met you. I'll be there again this year, with all the mods done. So tell me, how do you like it???

Here is the only video I have of me racing - Rock Falls, Wisconsin. Ran against my bro's 5.0 'stang. Considering I had to roll into the race really easy to avoid spinning, I think my best of 15.14 was pretty decent. 11" wide drag radials should help substantially this year :D
Welcome you"ll fit right in.Looks good.
Howdy! What's your name over on TF, I definitely recognize your car.
Lower that bitch :)
Post up your timeslip in the Drag Racing section and we'll add you to the Top 25.
Its NAS over at TF. Apparently I can't post the google URL for my race vid until I have 5 posts...
These cars look GOOD with ROH Snypers. I just let a set of 16 X 8's slip through my hands and I'm still looking to purchase some. Car looks good!
Welcome aboard! Nice car. Where in the Midwest are you from?
Very clean, welcome aboard.
welcome, enjoy your stay :D
beautiful car man
Hey Aaron
Hi Chuck, loving those motor mounts :thumbsup:
Welcome :D
Welcome. Nice bird.
Was that a bag of chips in the passenger seat?
I don't see anything on the passenger seat. And if there was something, it most definitely was NOT food. There was a lug nut wrench and IC bracket sitting on the floor mat on the passenger side, but that's about it.
Niiiice TC. Love the PC'd pieces, now get them on the car, and get us PICS! Lol, we love our pics here.
Welcome aboard, lots of good people here, and plenty of excellent info as well. I noticed that your from St. Paul and have been to Rock Falls, how often do you go there, cuz your TC looks familiar to me. I live about 20 minutes from the drag strip, so I get out there a lot in the summer. Awesome looking car, and I agree, lower it just a little bit and it would look killer.
Jess Jess Muhaha ha ha ha!!!!:evilgrin:
I love those pics even though they are small. Are you tring to get everone used it. LOL Any I also remeber seeing those powder coated parts over at trubo ford that looks F'in Awsome. Nice to have you here. Hope you love it as much as we all do.
Never know one day us Turbo coupe guys might take over LOL!
Welcome. Nice T-bird you have there:D
I'm in the Midwest as well. Chicago to be exact, which is a bit south of you.
Looks good, and Mayhem is always hungry, He starts to see things when new people join. lol
Was just a joke. I'm always ribbing the newbies for snacks. :D
Don"t Feed The *mayhem*:beatyoass:
J/K Martin, I'll feed ya next time I see ya, out to lunch again?
Yes,welcome.Nice car.Did you dye the dash?It looks great.beautiful 'Bird.Where are you from?
Nope, haven't died the dash, the car has always been stored so its in great shape. I'm in St. Paul, MN and can often be found cruising University Ave :)
I love the look of the ROH snypers. I've been concidering a set of those for my 87 (if I can ever get some bills paid down).
