Newb from CC, TX

Hello everyone, it is very nice to meet ya'all. My name is Rob. Some of you may know me from modfords, I have been a mod there for about 7 years now, and I am on a few other forums and go by...
SpeedofSound
SpeedofSoundN2O
SpeedofSound761
I also own a race shop called SpeedofSound Motorsports. we used to be home based in Guam(for about 6 years), and now I run my shop out of Corpus Christi, TX.

Anyways, I found out about this site from a good friend of mine Wild Bill (Mach1Marauder) and I figured I would check it out, register and say hi.

Let's see, what else......oh yeah, I am an owner of a 2003 TR-Mach 1 5-speed. Bought it new in 2003 and been modding and racing her since she had 486 miles on the odo...LOL. Currently she has only 38,000 miles on her. I am one of only a hand full of 03-04 Mach racers that are still on the stock short block...knock on wood...LOL
She has been down the 1320 hundreds of times and I have been in the 10's a couple of times, but nothing consistent so in my book, it don't count...I am a sucky driver and been changing the combo a bunch here lately. So basically I just say I have an 11 second car because I know that is a et I can definitely constantly turn.
I know some may wanna know my mods...
p&p heads
Naz custom short runner, ported
crower stg 3's n/a
nitrous
and just about every other bolt on, except for a t/b
fully modified and adjustable suspension
a decent amount of chassis work

that's about it, nothing special and definitely not fast at all. just another typical bolt on Mach, as others on the internet put it...LOL. the best part is it is still my daily driver and the wifey and I frequently make long trips in it. She loves driving the Mach too and she frequently steals it from me to take to work and show off with...LOL.

I guess that's it....it is good to be here and very nice to meet ya'all!!

Right on, Thanks for the welcome guys! I'm glad to be here. It is a very hard and extremely rare thing to find a decent web forum to hang out on now a days. Pretty much all of the old ones that most of us older peeps used to frequent years ago have either closed down or gone south and been over ridden by misinformation and know-it-all's, that really have no clue...LOL

Anyways, enough bout that...LOL
I totally forgot about posting pictures of my Mach, sorry about that guys. The pics I have are really nothing special, they have that stock look, mostly because I love the way the Mach looks stock. Here are some pics, the first 2 were taken at our old house and the 3rd is just a quick under hood pic. And my favorite part is *notice the powder coated shaker*...sorry they look crappy, taken with crappy camera...

Welcome to the site from Virginia. The TR Mach looks great. I've been trying to talk the wife into a red one to go with our white and blue one!

AWESOME!!! Thank you all for the kind words and welcomes!! Rockxtreme

I will have to see if I can dig up some videos of a few track passes she has made in the past. I know I have some all motor passes but I am not sure if I have any N2O passes, due to old computer crashing. I'll check though.

Though it looks stock, once I start it everyone freaks out. it is pretty loud and the lope from the cams makes the exhaust thump pretty hard. I have 1 3/4 custom long tubes, o/r x and magnapack cat back so it isn't exactly the quietest set up in the first place....LOLOLOL...but it sounds hella good!!

I wish there were more Mach'ers to hang out with down here in CC, TX...it seems the few Machs down here that I have seen are either owned by tools or their Machs have been ragged out and trashed. So if anyone lives in south Texas, hit me up through pm. Drunks
