beautiful car man...you have my dream setup in yours
is that a termi swap with 05+ tr3650?
From Jeremi's Build Thread - The longblock is typically found in 03-04 Mach1, the trans was taken out of a S197 style GT, the intercooled blower top end is from an 03-04 Cobra".
For sale? I think that maybe one of my favorite Gen 1's on here. Looks amazing. I hope everything is settled in life now. Hate to see it get neglected like last time when it got pushed out of the house and into the snow drift lol. A black interior swap would really set that car off but what you have appears to be clean inside, so the color isn't bad. When that color isn't taken care of with some Lexol cleaner and Lexol conditioner before hand, the seat cracks start to appear and then that color seat really sucks. Yours look good though. Everything does. I would pay the price on that one and spend the $200 each on new corner lenses. tasca.com still has them I believe.
The car is definately not for sale - EVER. The interior has not been cleaned or treated in years. I put some leather treatment on the seats back in 08 then did nothing else
and other than the door panel swap and steering wheel center swap Jeremi did nothing inside either (other than the clutch in shifter). I mean, we never detailed the interior. It's on ths list to do but luckily it is so perfectly clean. I still have the Brand new LSC Floor Mats in LT Graphite too. I love the interior but am not going to lie - BLACK would be insane. Maybe years down the line when the interior parts are MORE readily available
how does the blower pulley fit under a stock gen 1 hood?
"Shaved motor mounts, some spacers, some experience from prior builds, and it fits."
Amazing work done by Jeremi. I don't know what magix he used but when you look at the pics I posted you wouldn't think the hood would close. But it does.
I like and very nice. I noticed you have tips like mine but they are rolled and more noticable. Have you ever ran it down the 1/4 mile or had it dynoed. If so what were the results. I'm just starting to work on mine for looks. I hope mine looks that good some day..
I am still learning to drive the manual transmision. Getting there. Have never taken it to the track but I will someday. THere is a bit of wheel hop. Need to invest in the Delrin Bushings from Doug. Soon Doug, soon:shifty:. I know that was on Jeremi's list to do.
I thought everyone was following this thread LOL. I am probably 11,500+ of the 23,000+ views on that thread though.
I was privileged to go for a rip in that beast with Jeremi. Let me tell you, if anything impresses more than the power in that car, it's the brakes. Even with the Nitto 555s warmed up, it will engage ABS with every firm stab of the pedal. The suspension is so tight even with the air ride, there is no dive.
Jeremi took me for the same kind of ride too. Holy Sneakers. It is completely different sitting in the passanger seat with no control.
no, unfortunately not
I didn't know anything about Jeremi either untill I sold him the car and he mentioned a few threads to read to see what the car was in store for. My jaw dropped. In a way not knowing who Jeremi was is actually what made this car the way it is. Had I known of Jeremi I might have sent him the car for the underside restoration only since the original engine and transmission were perfect (smoothest running Mark VIII I ever had - and I had 3). However, selling the car to Jeremi he made it his own. He never had any intention of keeping the car but I also don't think he realized how much of his soul he put into this car. Pics do not do this car justice - and neither does my driving.
The Engine, Blower, Transmission, Brakes, Hub swap, Trac Lok, Door panel swap, etc ..... How could I not buy this car back. I am so in love.
In the month I have had the car back I have already put more miles on the car than in the previous 4 freakin years. Scratch that, the owner before me only put maybe 1,000 miles on it on the three years he had the car. I think the car is happy to be driving again.
And everyone loves this car. Heads turn everywhere. I don't really like the attention but then again they are not looking at me. It's like dating a really hot chick but surprisingly no jealosy when everyone stares - kinda wierd not being jealous but proud.
There are many other nice marks out there, I think we know which ones they are and I am proud that this one is in that category now. THis car definately deserved it.
Thanks Jeremi.
