I Got A Word Squirter Today

[revhead347]

And I'm going to label everything!!!!!

I finally did this. I've been meaning to put the label "Ludicrous Speed" under my nitrous switch for years.

Need to put "GO BABY GO" like on Gone in 60 Seconds lol

 

[revhead347]

Not as funny. I need something to reaffirm my age in front of the young ones. Something the ricers don't get.

You should post more pictures of your interior set up, one of my favorite things to see are switches in a car. Custom set ups are always a joy to see.

 

[revhead347]

I have some in photobucket I can post tonight. Too tough to do it from the phone.

That's awesome. I assume your car goes plaid every time you flip that switch? I almost want nitrous now just so I can have a ludicrous speed button.

LOL

can't wait to see. I'm only 17, but when I see nitrous switches it makes me feel like im a 5 year old with super powers. aha.

Yeah, every power adder has it's advantages, but nitrous has a special place in my heart. As soon as the nitrous kicks on, the car makes 600+ rwtq at all rpms. It's a real kick in the butt.

Pictures as promised.

I'm definately going to have to do a better sticker later. Maybe I can do white ink on a black back ground, and stack the two words.

Just realized the second picture shows my old switch panel. It kind of sucked.

Kurt

 

[JordanB21]

yeah the old one isn't as good but still great. Where do you store your nitrous tank?

I suppose what's so interesting about nitrous set ups is that it's something a beginner like myself dreams of.
One set up I saw is the button light and gauge was in the glove compartment, ill see if I can find the article. I think I want to do 3 gauges across below the radio personally.

It's just a 10lb. bottle mounted in the trunk. I have built up my nitrous setup over time. Now it's pretty much as good as it can get. The only thing I'm missing is an automatic bottle opener, but I really don't see the need to have one. It's really not that hard to open it up by hand.

Kurt

 

[JordanB21]

Just is a cushy improvement for when you run out of things to do...or too much money on your hands.

 

[revhead347]

Haha. I don't think that's ever going to happen. I need to rebuild my transmission and rear end. I need a roll bar, and eventually a new paint job. There are probably tons of things I need to do after that, but that's a start. Oh, I need to add a blow down tube for the nitrous system. That's the only part of the nitrous system I'm really missing.

THAT CAR IS BEAST!!!!!!
I love the Canaries!!!

 

[JordanB21]

Do you have a posted build thread somewhere? I always see you post and I'd love to see your car

 

[revhead347]

Most of the build was done so long ago, it's not really on stangnet. I might have some more pictures though. This is the main part of my nitrous system under the passenger side fender.

Purge under the cowl panel

Pressure control for the bottle heater. This is located by the fuse box under the dash.

This is the last engine when it arrived.

After Assembly

After assembly and installation

Doing up the accessory wiring harness. This is time consuming.

Line Lock installation

Front Brakes after install.

After the manual brake conversion, the factory stoplight switch won't work, so I fabbed up a GM pushbutton one to work.

Bulkhead mounts.

Pretty sure this is the old engine. But the new one looks the same.

Relay box.

On drag tires

Those pictures were taken before the new suspension. The front is a little lower now that I have a tubular K-member and X2s...unfortunately.

Good job on the brake light switch, I was also close to doing that then I found out about the pressure switch that goes in the line lock and took the easy route haha.

Car looks good man!

[JordanB21]
