Listen to chimp.

Then you can at least pretend to be as cool as me.

Dude, I am so cool I am a meat Popsicle.

I am so hip I have trouble seeing over my own pelvis.

All you had to say was faux wood paneling.

[mzziaz]

I shall faux wood panel my stang!

[Soup DeVille]

I shall faux wood panel my stang!

That would just be silly.

[mzziaz]

Yeah. Real wood is probably better.

[Galaxy]

Yeah. Real wood is probably better.

Yes.

[Soup DeVille]

Yes.

How gaudy. That doesn't look fake at all.

[Rupert]

But wouldn't it be cool if it wasn't fake?

[Soup DeVille]

But wouldn't it be cool if it wasn't fake?

Of course it's fake. Who uses real wood for cars? That'd be like using real horses for horsepower.

[Rupert]

Yeah, it is fake, no doubt. But what if it wasn't? It would be awesome!

[MX793]

How long before this gets hot-rodded to the point where it's barely streetable?

[Galaxy]

How gaudy. That doesn't look fake at all.

I am pretty sure that is real.

[MX793]

How gaudy. That doesn't look fake at all.

Probably real leather on the seats and wool in the carpeting too.  Gaudy AND pretentious.

[Soup DeVille]

How long before this gets hot-rodded to the point where it's barely streetable?

I'm really trying to behave myself here, really. Its just that I didn't really realize that 302 parts could be found so cheap...

[Soup DeVille]

I am pretty sure that is real.

You mean like from a tree? Did they get rid of the birds and squirrels first at least?

[Galaxy]

You mean like from a tree? Did they get rid of the birds and squirrels first at least?

I think those black lines running through the wood may be whats left of the birds and squirrels.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Average MPG so far?

[Soup DeVille]

Average MPG so far?

About 14, which seems low to me, but I haven't yet found a cause.

[Eye of the Tiger]

About 14, which seems low to me, but I haven't yet found a cause.

Hmmm.... Try driving different. Accent is getting 32-33 in moderate traffic on my short commute because I am driving like I have no brakes. I would normally get 27-29.

[Soup DeVille]

I suspect there's a sensor issue that's not quite apparent right now. The TPS was a little off, but just a little. Also, the TV cable probably needs to be adjusted in.

Yeah, just adjust the TV so the only way to downshift is with full throttle. Instant MPG boost.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Bad temp sensors and their wiring on those can really kill MPG. Is the on inside of your tailpipe all sooty?

Probably. But it's cold out.

Fucking 303 race cam.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Sounds like inefficiency.

[Secret Chimp]

Fucking 303 race cam.

Exactly

[Eye of the Tiger]

Just put a flowmaster on it and adjust the idle as low as you can.

[Soup DeVille]

Just put a flowmaster on it and adjust the idle as low as you can.

What I'd rather do is find a set of GT40 heads, and the intake from a 5.0 Explorer or an aftermarket one and then a set of shorty headers and then put a flowmaster on it. With the stock cam.

Now you're starting to think on this.
