SVT Vic from the passenger seat!

[Blaze86Vic]

Well my seats bracket was squeaking, and it is annoyingly loud, but the video is ok. The camera man is one of my roommates.

86 Crown Victoria, I was running to the store to get some stuff and figured I'd get some video. T5 manual swap, 3.55 torsion rear, 95 5.0L HO, 275/40/R17 on all corners. (http://videos.streetfire.net/video/9e59d4fb-941a-41d2-b2d3-9988014df362.htm)

Not too shabby. Might wat to eventually take the column shifter out though.

[Blaze86Vic]

Good god, you fellas just wont let that slide for one minute lol.

[88MercWagon]

That's freakin awesome man, good job. I can't wait until I get the 5-spd in my Thunderbird.

[Mr. Land Yacht]

I'd leave the column shifter on...then you have a choice of Manual or Automatic. :D

[mrltd]

Good god, you fellas just wont let that slide for one minute lol.


It's called a "half assed job" LMAO.

Car sounds great. The speedo views aren't impressing me. WOT banging through the gears for half a mile, look down...35-40mph.

Any track vids?

[Blaze86Vic]

WOT banging through the gears for half a mile, look down...35-40mph.

What? I guess it's deceiving, because I shift into 2nd at 35mph. I only got on it full throttle twice. I need to get my other roommate to take the video, he would do a much better job IMO.

[mrltd]

Yeah, it's decieving. Because it seems like it moves rather well. Just need track vids... (get the hint?)

Need camcorder!!! Hopefully someone with one can follow me for a lap or two at the next event.

[mrltd]

Can you have passengers? I have a camcorder. Though with the aftermarket seats, I don't have a mount that'd work.

[P72Ford]

Very nice.. just explain me one thing? How is it in park the whole time? (I can't get over the auto shifter still being there).

Perhaps the carpet will help squelch the squeaky seats?

Also, there is something very intriguing about a full size car with a manual trans in it... has to be because they're so unpopular.

Nice work nonetheless. Just get a better camera crew.

I haven't been driving with this group for long enough to carry my own passengers, especially since I'm required to have an instructor to scare the day lights out of. Also I forgot that the person that I go to the track with that has the camcorder will not be there at the next event.

nice johnnie

[nitroracer]

Your car only gets better every time I see it - keep havin' fun.

[85crownHPP]

I like :2up:

[torquelover]

Awesome. Too bad Ford didn't offer this combo from the factory. The shifter placement seems to be perfect for road racing, freakish truck shifter and all. What RPM's were you shifting at? Seemed like you were short shifting. I almost have all the parts I need for Build #2 on my Vic. Wanna help me swap in a T-56 next spring?

[Mr. Land Yacht]

I just saw it...very nice mang...that motor sounds sweeet!
and you shift really well..that's just very cool mang..very kool!
I love it!

[91LTDProject]

Wish I could heel and toe. Something I have never been able to do well. Nice vid blaze, cant wait for some in-car track vids, but we will wait as long as it takes.

Yeah, my tack is off in the distance by my knees....and the engine does have almost 150,000 miles on it, so treating it nice is beneficial. So I don't take it all the way up in RPMs unless I'm on the track maxing out 4th gear since 5th is pretty useless for acceleration.

[Lincolnmania]

nice but stupid streetfire is all choppy.......make some youtube vids....they arent choppy lol

[Blaze86Vic]

100mb limit is less than 1/4th the sive of that video. StreetFire allows up to 500mb.

[Lincolnmania]

ah that's why......i have a cable modem.....my bandwidth is about 700k

[Grand Marquis GT]

That is absoultely incredible, mang!

More inspiration for me :D

[mrltd]

Pfft, babying it is beneficial? You are so not a car guy!





J/K...

[gadget73]

Good deal. I was also gonna say something about driving in park tho lol. Glad you're happy with the results.

Question, is your shifter's chrome all peeling and stuff? If not, wanna sell it? Mine looks like crap.

[Blaze86Vic]

The knob is conveniently only pealing on the back side so no one ever notices it, but the handle is not...though that is likely exactly what yours is like.
