Hey all,

Originally from California, been in PHX for a hair under three yeasr now. Due to a recent trade with my buddy I am now in possession of this (he took my M-Powered 2003 BMW 325Ci): http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i47/LetMeHitIt4x/stang1.jpg

It's a 2000 and used to run SCCA ITE/Autocross.

No clue as to the build other than extreme weight reduction (no windows, sound proofing, interior of any sort as well as a 3x5 square cut out of the floor in the back), dual long pipes, dry-sump lubrication, fuel cell, dynotuning, supercharger and Saleen bodykit. Currently scrambling around on the 3-day temp reg trying to get it to pass smog (but seeing as it was formerly registered in CA as long as I don't throw any codes I should be fine).

Hopefully as I get working on this beast I can update you more as to what the specs are and hopefully get some insight on what to do and where to go to further mod this pony!

Current to-do list:

stripping those sponsor stickers to try to avoid the heat that they tend to draw and the free advertisement since they ain't paying me,
installing a MIL eliminator,
remounting the fuel rail
and remounting the supercharger cause they took a square-peg round-hole approach to installing it and the mounts are tweaked and the hose is being held to the intake with duct-tape.

Jefe- I'll see if I can't snap a few pics when I get back from my emissions test :paranoid::paranoid:. Hit up AutoZone for a code check and surprisingly came up with no codes. The O2 sensors where a victim of a poor mechanic who was doing the exhaust swap, figured cutting them off rather than plugging them in was the right thing to do :facepalm: but, no codes!

Would you be intrested in bringing the car out to Peoria Ford when we introduce the new Saleen SMS mustangs? Should have a date by the end of the week. I'm hoping the cars will arrive in the next 30 to 45 days.

Thank you, I will let you know as soon as I have a firm date. Trying to finalize some stuff with SMS on when the cars will be ready.your Shelby looks awesome.if I get the car I'm trying to purchase,we are definitely going to have to terrorize the chevy boys together. I'm looking for a local club to partner with for the show and maybe a continuing relationship. Any input would be appreciated .

Welcome to the club Frosty!

In AZ there is a law in effect that may help you out. It seems obvious that this is not your daily driver. Pretty much any car that is not a daily driver can be insured by Collector car insurance, I use Grundy but there are many out there.

In AZ any car covered by Collector Car Insurance can by-pass emissions testing. Just take the insurance declaration page to the DMV and they will enter the information into the system and you get tags right away. I haven't had to take the Lightning, Cobra or the 71 to DMV for a few years now. Just send in the money for renewal and I'm good to go.
