Default Hello

Hey I totally forgot I was a member here. I have no idea why i decided to make up that screen name instead of the "MyFordsFly" that I am everywhere else. Maybe I will try to change that someday.
Anyway for those who havent figured out who I am this is E.J. from Marysville Speed. I just thought I would say hello and maybe hang out here from time to time. That is if you dont mind having another ford guy around.

E.J.

And now that my car is faster than yours, I might pick on you.

Cool I know we would all feel better with a little more fuel in that thing. As far as the exhaust stuff, you know where to find me.

What tires did you end up getting?

Welcome E.J.

Fords are welcome here.

Mark,

When you go to the Dyno I would like to tag alone and take my SS up, it is a Dyno virgin you know.

Ellis, ya got me on that one.

Steve, thanks man I appreciate that.

Mark, good deal, cant wait to see how they do. By the way the car ran on the nittos and running out of fuel I should think you will surpass your goal rather effortlessly.

Ryan, I almost forgot, I saw the video of your dyno run on Streetfire. Damn impressive, car looks like it wants to launch of them rollers.

It's a term of endearment I have for Fox boxes. There is a small group of us that meet up on the weekends (~30 cars). There are some imports, but not too much rice. Most of them are clean cars geared towards performance. That nice black S4 came up and did a few runs with me last Friday. Real cool guy. "Best Buy" in Burlington from about 11 pm-on if you're interested.
