He is off this week, I call Angie. Thanks

Dieter, what size pulley are you going to?

The smaller one

If you are going to use the 95mm pulley then your belt will need to be 1/2" shorter than what you have on it now. If it is the 100mm then the same belt will work.

I'll get the 100mm, with the 95mm you need more than just the belt to use the additional power.

But thanks for mentioning it

Pffft.

Will I be the only one posting that is not boosted? Maybe I DO need to post on 4 wheels. My V6 Ford Fusion can hustle just fine. None of all-y'all are getting away from me on a public road, if I am in that car, unless the cops stop me first.

Just received the pulley. Like always top quality from @DDM Works

Quote from MACAWS

You do realize you can go faster on three wheels - less weight

Pfft again.

Twice the weight, twice the hp, twice the torque. I can seriously hustle down the road. And, a generous back seat for serious baby makin'. Plenty of room for 3 wheels and 4 wheels in my stable.

And, ahem, less weight depends on who is driving...

Anyway, counting the days. Can't wait. Seriously need a recharge.

Ford... Fusion...?

Picking on me, are y'all?

I ain't going to Clarksville to see Slingshots. I have one, and for quite some time. If I want to see a sling, I can just peek into my garage.

I am going to Clarksville to see my friends, who I miss terribly. If I show up in an unboosted sling, thoughtful 4 door family sedan, oil burning Yugo, or helicopter, It doesn't matter. While not everyone likes me, everyone remembers me. When I show up, it is officially a party - I have many references for that assertion.

I like you and I don't like most people. LOL! Wife has a Ford Fusion AWD with the turbo V6. I have a lot of respect for that vehicle.

Oh yeah. Now, I understand why we are friends. We are kindred spirits.

Repeating myself, but we do need to hookup again. I am guessing you are a no for Clarksville. But no reason we cannot hookup another time. 30 minutes from your place to mine. Would be delighted to host you and yours in my house again anytime. Any my house is baby friendly. I love babies, though these days on the condition that they are NOT MINE.

And we can chat up Fusions by other comms - I have 2 in my stable. Love 'em.

Just don't send him a TEXT

Have a safe trip Mitch. Sure wish I was going (Not to new York though)

Is it Modded? 😎

Because I could dig that... Definitely potential:

Otherwise it reminds me when Will Ferrell on SNL had that but where he'd scream, "I drive a Dodge Stratus!" 😂

You are being silly. I appeared once in the 2018 calendar, and 3 times in the 2019. Never missed a track day, and even invited you to join me sharing runs. I can do 1000+ miles in a single run, good from 7 degrees to 107 degrees. Have the self control to not burn down my sling after the brake failure light for the 5th time - currently on (really, really, really pissed about that).

Ford Fusions rock. I have 2.

More of a minivan guy are you?

I should be with the amount of kids and dogs we have!

No, my Lincoln MKS finally gave out and I had to make a purchase... Another twin turbo...

And yes, the I swapped the wheels and got them used. 😎 Not gently, as 3 of them had curb rash, but for $150 all 4 wheels... Can't beat it! ☺

Now to save up for some downpipes, exhaust, and a tune...

Mitch. We are off to a great start this week. Got a jump on my work and heading out at 6am on Friday. I'll stay in touch. Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.
