Whats up guys?
 

Most know me...Shane. It's been about a year since I left and got stationed is crappy South Texas. Looking forward to getting back to SC for my last duty station after these next 3 years. Traded the yellow SC GT in on a Caddy for a daily driver. I get like 500mpg to an 18 gallon tank. :shock: Nice for a 32v v8 boat! Still working on the Cobra here and there. Since I left I got a KenneBell installed, DD FR500s, and painted the hood and some other mods. She looks perfect to me, need to finish up the fuel system and tune. Then I start on suspension. Should be around 600rwhp in a month or two. Nearest track here is about 2 hours, then Edingburg at 3 hours. Few pics..later guys-Shane

Welcome to the forum Shane!

welcome shane-o-mac! didnt mean to name drop you on the Amazon thread...but I had to defend why I wasnt happy with them...hope it didnt make ya mad

You coming back to charleston anytime soon?

welcome

We're cool Tim no worries man. Not anytime soon unfortunatly. Do plan on heading back eventually to retire as mentioned. Might try to make Mustang Week next year though-Shane :D

Wassup, dude? Cool to see you on another board.

SHANE-O welcome man. Can't wait for you to get back

Welcome Hotrod! After that first time to the track, I didn't think you would slow down from going.

Nice to hear from you Shane. I too would like to get back to Charleston for my next duty station but it looks like I'll be stuck in the midwest for a couple of years for now. I bought a lightning and I've been thru a couple of engines now, so all I can say is "make sure you get a new tune after each major mod".

Thanks guys :D I know how that is Jason, I just had my engine replaced cause of 7 and 8 piston. Ford did it under warranty and got stronger pistons and some 4v heads that were designed in 05. Car runs strong with KB but need a better tune to say the least. Its crazy down low but think the car has more to give up top. Good hearing from you guys-Shane

Welcome to the site.

blowing shit up makes it easy to stay away...especially when you dont have a money tree in the back yard :(

Re: Whats up guys?
 

Shane...I'd trade you assignments in a friggin heartbeat..and I don't even know what city you are stationed at.
Tejas > south kak 24/7/365

Re: Whats up guys?
 

I'd trade you in a heartbeat Kiley. I'm in Corpus Christi..Ingleside actually where the ships are. Always hated Texas, was born in Houston.-Shane

welcome man im trying to get the hell outta japan and get back to SC, we will have to see

DOne the coolant mod yet, I hear it solves alot of 7&8 issues on the 4vs, alot of the 2v guys do it for insurance as well

Re: Whats up guys?
 

You ingrate! How could you not like Corpus!

Re: Whats up guys?
 

Kiley, how could you not like Charleston? You must be going to the wrong places. :booty5:

No need for the head cooling mod. Ford has redesigned the 03/04 heads in 05 which they now install on all their replacement engines along with upgraded pistons. Or..so I was told....SHAUN?!?!. Now they circulate correctly from what I am told. Uhm..Corpus sucks my balls. :roll: Houston is even worse..I miss Florida and SC :D Next duty station might be San Diego though since this base is moving there-Shane

Could have them install the coolant mod on the back of the heads. That would help out also. :lol:

Re: Whats up guys?
 

This is Shane's intro. thread, but...

Corpus ain't the top of the line representative of Texas (kinda like comparing Beaufort, SC)...but I'd take it in a hot minute.

Not wanting to offend some of you Charlestonians, I'll leave out the major reason I dislike this City (or moreover, the state). Besides..it couldn't be mentioned publicly, anyhow.

Some of the minor issues with this region is the swamp weather. I'll take the dry heat of Texas, and the middle east, over this boggy river bottom crap.

The issue of S.C. drivers and their Jalopies will not be touched with a 10-foot pole, either.

Let's just say that everyone has a "home"...and this one ain't mine.

P.S. For god's sake, could we lobby for at least a Whataburger, Taco Cabana, Grandy's, Taco Beuno, Don Paublos, Jack in the Box, Cheddars, or Dave & Buster's in Charleston? This "Major" city is lacking in the mainstream restaurant department.

Re: Whats up guys?
 

We had one of those in N Charleston but it didnt work out. Now its a Wild Wings which is far better IMO.

Yeah...can never get enough wing shops in this city...

Kiley I am with you. What shocked the hell out of me was no KRYSTALS/Whitcastle, Dave & Busters (have the commercials for them :roll: ) and no freakin Whataburger. Hell what about TasteFreeze?

If you want wings, chinese or mexican than this is the hell hole for you to eat. Oh and sonics.


There also isn't any BEVERAGE BARNS/Castles. We could go on.



ON TOPIC


Welcome again shane.

I miss the beer barns, too.

So Shane isn't coming back to S.C.?

OOOOOOhhhh, I understand, now. You guys want more FAST/JUNK food joints. I'm ok with this problem now. (Kiley, we'll have to work on the "Beer Barn" thing, whatever it is) Don Pablos, Krystal Burger and Grandy's didn't make it here. Too bad, because they were ok.

This town has more GREAT restaurants per capita than anywhere you mentioned. 2 Five Star resorts are in the area (The Sancuary and Woodlands, not that I can afford them). Take your wives downtown or Shem Creek instead of going to Sams.

The jalopies come with the territory. I can't explain the bad drivers, but at least they make you look like an expert in that department. :lol: :lol:

And, Jr. When did you start worrying about beverage stores, lightweight? lol

Flame on boys!!

BTW, Welcome Shane. I bet he can't wait to get back here.

:applaud:

I love Charleston. As the saying goes "don't let the door hit you in the ass."

Or we can help close it behind you foreigners. :wak:

I like don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you. :lol:

I was just in Austin, Tx and I want a Dan's hamburger here. That place was the shit. I also want a Stake and Shake. :wink:

Once Uncle Sam gives the word...

Welcome to the forums man.

Shane do you still own the house in Goose Creek?

Yep, its rented out though-Shane

Welcome to the forums Shane good to see you around !

Thanks Jeff, u too man :)
