New here!

[dueces]

Hey guys, I'm new here, and I don't own a Festiva or any variant of one, just enjoy what people are doing to them.

I have been tuning for about eight years now, basically starting with my 93 Ford Probe GT. with just an exhaust, I ran 15.2@92mph, and from my first time at the track I never looked back!

I supercharged it, and ran 12's, turbo'ed it and ran low 12's, then Twincharged it, and went high 11's on only 10lbs of boost! This was on a stock block and full interior, weighing in around 2900lbs.

I also own an EVO, 03, which has gone 12.30's on the stock turbo, at 22psi.

I recently met a guy who put the capri motor in his festiva, and that is more or less why I am here. Oh he ran 13.7 at 103mph I think..... Pretty quick!

anyway, that is a short intro to who I am, look forward to bein on the site!!

Thanks for looking

John

Welcome to the site... it won't be long before the affliction sets in and a Festiva shows up in your driveway

[Charlie1717]

Sounds like you are ready for the Festiva experience.
Oh and where are you from? (update your profile)

Get some pics of the other cars too! We love Festiva's here but we still appreciate other cars :p

Welcome dueces, where are you from? I hope you enjoy the site and maybe you'll end up with a festiva. They are great cars!

Welcome to the site John. Maybe see you at FM4?

[dueces]

Thanks for the welcomes guys! I updated a little about myself, and I will post some vids when I get some time. Or you can look on youtube and search twincharged probe.

Welcome! You'll eventually find them too hard to resist. I think my join date was June/July of 2007, and I finally scooped up my first one this last May!

[dueces]

Nice! I would love to pick one up for a full gtx swap, but having a kid here in six weeks wont help that.... That, and my project I am working on right now is a rear drive Probe GT, that I am throwing a chevy 5.3L in with a R154 MKIII supra tranny.... that will be my fast street strip car, I am hoping for single digits with it, and it shouldn't be a problem at 6-8psi.....

if I get a chance when I get home I will post up some vids of my old Twincharged probe and my new project. But I am real busy trying to get a motor for my EVO so I can get that car sold.

Welcome! Let us know how the RWD Probe turns out, I almost did the same kind of thing with an 88 MX-6 with a ford 302. Plenty of room under the hood of the probes/mx6s for it.

Nope don't know him. I haven't done any work at shops, I just work out of my garage on everything....
The supercharger is an m62 unit from eaton, the turbo is an ebay .57 trim t3/t4.

This is my only 11 sec recorded run, I ran four 11 sec passes, three at ten lbs and this one was at 14lbs with the clutch slipping, as you can tell by the 111.66mph
To me this sound is just pure awesomeness, cause noone knows whats going on ha ha.

Other than that I don't have much for pics or anything, the car wasnt much of a looker, but man did it confuse a lot of people!
