Beaufort Noob

[usmcgunner]

Hey all,
I just moved here to Beaufort, from Delaware, and looking to get into the car scene down here. I work at a car delaership, here in Beaufort (So if you need a car, let me know, I have a great referral system that will make you money)
I'm a PROUD owner of a rare car; 1988 Merkur XR4Ti. I have a long list of mods done to it, interior, exterior, and motor.
Its powered by a 2.3 Turbo Ford with a fully built head, 20PSI, T-5 trans, and LOTS more. Enough of the typing, here are pics:

The site is moderating threads of newbs with more than 1 link/img tag. We have had a lot of spam lately, and I'm trying to stop it behind the scenes.

I merged your 2 intro threads.

Before the head build I put down 225hp/ 304 ft/lbs torque. My new head is not on yet. I'm guessing around 320 HP 350 lb/ ft. The car is 2200 lbs.

I know that top gear car well. It was bought off of a forum member on another sight, then sold back to another forum member on the same forum. I love it.

Once my car gets down here, I want to get it together, and do some shows, and autocrosses. I want to hit a strip, to see what I can do in the quarter. The first thing is getting the head back on, and a proper tune.

[Ronald]

Welcome

[Matts94Z28]

Met Matt today. Great guy and a totally different kind of salesman. I will explain more when I get some time.

[PapaBear]

There's a local guy that collects these cars. He had probably 10 of them 7 or so years ago. I was the "lucky" guy that did all his glass work for him. Pain in the ass but really cool cars. I saw one on Dorchester by av engineering the other day. Was in rough shape though.

Welcome to the madhouse.

[usmcgunner]

Matt,
Thanks again for your business today, it was greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need anything else.

[usmcgunner]

I'm hoping to get my car by the first of October, HOPING, crossing my fingers, knocking on wood, etc. I've been needing a truck real bad to go up to Delaware, and get it, but have had no luck.
