Hey was up darkstar_one.. welcome aboard.... congratulatoins on your purcahse... what color int/ext ?? auto or stich ??? Hope to see you in the meets....

[darkstar_one]

hey, well my SC is a WHITE SC 1991. Gray leather interior. Power sun roof. Fold down back seat. Indi Glo gauges. Xenon light bulbs. Half broken front bumper cover. CONTOUR WING "SPOILER"

AUTOMATICE OVERDRIVE WITH AWESOME SHIFT KIT.
NO MODS YET.

Leaking Exhaust system!

Im on my 3rd Transmission :(

[SuperCoupe007]

Thats a nice INT/EXT combo.... 3rd tranny ouch !!! well your first mod should be your exhaust.. i am currently working out what i am gonna put for my exhaust system.... Xenon light bulbs, how do you like those ?

[darkstar_one]

hey. well my xenons are bad *** i got the whole HIGH BEAM and LOW BEAM set for 20 bucks. Pretty pimpin. Im like so close to looking like a BMWs xenons. u know. that crisp blue light.

[darkstar_one]

hey here is a pic of my WHITE SC 1991 with its CONTOUR "spoiler"

as u can see the front bumper cover is half broken. and the turn lights are missing. Well the wing i think its from a CONTOUR i think. Its not original though. Its Gray it looks alright though. Im getting my new front bumper cover tommorow. yey. it will be black but it will look kool now. well i have my bad *** indiglos installed and i havent used my car cuz i havent recieved my rebuilt transmission yet. will post some pics of it running soon.

[SuperCoupe007]

your car looks cool.. i like how your cluster stands out.. looks sweet......

[darkstar_one]

hey. well thanx for the compliment.. well the car is cool and im getting my front bumper cover tommorow at the JUNK YARD. well i just need to do right now is take off a dent it has on the corner right there by the trunk. u can see in the pic. and some minor rust problem by the back seat window. my neighbor is gonna do it for me if i give him my digital camera. ima have him take off all my dents and sand them and prime them.

[SuperCoupe007]

That sounds like a good trade, a digital camera for body work... it would be better if he would do the work for some peanuts and beer......... digital cameras can come in real handy at times....

[darkstar_one]

yeah well my birthday is coming up on SAT the 23 and im getting another digital camera. so it actually works out.

thanx for the friendly welcome.

[SuperCoupe007]

Hey darkstar_one, i hope you had a good birthday and that you got all those bolt-ons for your SC .. :p how you had a HAPPY BIRTHDAY.... we gotta have the club get together and do something.... see you later

[darkstar_one]

hey hey, thanx for the happy birthday and it was bad *** i got my car up and running in the nick of time just for my birthday. I took it out for a spin on SAT night and man it was bad ***. It never felt so cool. I got my new front bumper. Its black so from the front my car looks like a CHP cruiser. The only problem is right now i have IAC valve from PEP BOYS and they are telling me those dont really work because they are made wrong. Well it works fine but sometimes when u step on it the CHECK ENGINE light comes on and the RPMS stay high so i have to pull over quick and turn it off and turn it back on to fix that problem. Well im going to stop by the FORD dealer tommorow, even though i dont want to. see how much they cost. Latez

[rivlee]

The last price I saw on the Ford IAC was $65.

[darkstar_one]

hey well my dad went to this FORD DEALER in INGLEWOOD and they busted out 90 dollars. My dad almost socked him for being stupid. My dad told them that they were dumb and that they needed to quit ripping off people. Well im going to that DON KOTT dealer in CARSON see how much it costs. Ill let you peeps know later ok. Hope 2 see ya soon

[al35thsc]

If you don't mind the wait, a few people here get discounts and could help you out if you just asked. If not, then I paid the 90 for the IAC :( It's one of those things you just have to get used to for living in LA and owning a 13 year old car.

Alex

[darkstar_one]

these discounts u speak of? any idea who can hook me up? cuz man ima slap somebody for 90 bucks.

[al35thsc]

Matt from Escondido works at Ford, and Mike's Speed Shop sometimes gets decent rpices. If they see this they'll help you out :)

Alex

[darkstar_one]

mikes speed shop??? mike from escondido?? how can i get in contact with these compadres??

[al35thsc]

No, Mike lives here in the greater LA area. Matt is from the Escondido area. And they arent so much compadres as they are buddies, only messikans here are Ron's people, one of the Jose's and I. The other Jose is Guatemalan I think.

Alex

[darkstar_one]

yeah but how do i contact them? cuz i just came back from the damn dealer and they busted out 91 dollars. Im like damn. Well let me know cuz i really need the IAC.

[35th SC]

darkstar,
I'll check it out tomorrow for you, I've got to go to the dealer anyway. It should be around $65 if I remember correctly.

Mike (the Speed Shop guy)

BTW, try to be patient. I'll help anyone, I just don't have time to be on the computer very often.:)

[darkstar_one]

thanx

[jacsxr7]

You are one of the Joses :) I assumed you were messican from the messican flag on your lic plate frame. SuperCoupe007 is the guatemalan.

Alex

[Coast to Coast SC]

Five Star Ford in Scottsdale used to give great prices as well http://www.fivestarford.com/newsite/parts/. Just be sure to tell Max that you are with the T-bird group. You will pay a little less than $60+shipping. Mike is probably the better source for this but keep 5 star(or Matt in Escondido) in mind for your next dealer only part;)

Anthony

[darkstar_one]

hmmmm..... i see.... hmmm..... interesting.... have no idea what the hell you guys are talking about but i will go with the flow. seriously though :confused:

[Coast to Coast SC]

Sources presented
1) Mike-he is already on the case
2) Matt-a member who works at a dealership in Escondido
3) Five Star Ford-a dealership in Arizona that has been very good to the SCCOA and TCCOA

Al's comment on coutry of origin stemmed from the "compadres" usaged and I too believe SuperCoupe007 is from Guatemala

Anthony

[darkstar_one]

what is up with you people and "compadres" word. you guys took it too far and u guys killed it. :mad: i dont care who is from were. later dudes and keep me up to date on ur suggestions

[al35thsc]

It was a joke...lighten up.

Alex

[darkstar_one]

[turbospeed]

[darkstar_one]

[rivlee]

I haven't seen you for awhile. How's you SC running? Get all the parts in?

Lee

[35th SC]

darkstar,
IAC valve, $65 + tax

Mike

[turbospeed]

thanks for asking lee ,
the sc is finally getting better got my balancer replaced , before it went and also installed some underdrives , motor mounts and 5% pulley.
Rigth now i have my blower disconnected becuase its leaking sc fluid.
only things i need to do is put the exhaust , plugs and wires and snout seal and im ready to fly again :D
good thing is getting great mpg with blower disconnected :).


btw wanted to ask you what do you have in your sc suspension and more important how good it rides? im interested in eibach and stock replacement shocks too
thanks

[rivlee]

I'm using the Eibach's, stock factory Tokico's (don't get the Tokico Lumina's - cheaper, but don't last), 1 1/4" rear sway bar and front tower brace. The Eibach's are progressive, so they freel like stock when just cruising.

Of course the biggest improvement in handling/braking is in the wheels & tires. If you don't want to spend big $$, just upgrade to 245/50/16 tires. I've got the 17x9 Cobra R's with BFG TA 255/45/17 ZR. Very sticky and a really decent ride. ;)
