This 1999 S351 Saleen Speedster is perfect. I Purchased the car Summer of 2010. Why a Nut and Bolt restoration. I have only one way of doing cars for myself, the extreme way.I cant and wont settle for fair condition cars. The car was worthy of a full mechanical and exterior restoration even though it didnt need it. The prior owner had many performance upgrades. We returned the car to almost stock condition. I have a Saleen letter documenting the S351S. The car is in the Saleen Regestry under the prior owners name. Saleens Productions Records state the following...


Saleen Mustang 99-0025S
Ford VIN 1FAFP440XF111199
Black Exterior/Dark Charcoal interior convertible with silver graphics.
The car was manufactured with optional 3.55 gears. Housing is stamped 3.55
Saleen floor mats and wheel tire upgrade
Only 1 or 2 with these exact colors and options.
There were a total of 466  Manufactured in 1999. Of the 466 only 46 were S351 s and 26 were convertible and 7 were produced in black. 

Body....
Quarters, Doors and Deck lid are still in original body paint. All ground Spoilers were repainted. The Heat Extractor Hood after locating one was restored better than new. All graphics were replaced. Fender Emblems, Grill and Horse and Ford NOS parts. The car was professionally Sanded and Polished. The convertible top is in excellent condition and original. The rear cover was repainted and its perfect. Under Chassis is show detailed and painted.

Interior. Leather seats show usual signs of normal wear. The carpet was replaced with a Ford NOS Carpet set. Shifter Boot and instrument cluster lens and NOS Ford parts. Radio is a new Alpine unit.

Mechanically after finding the correct type engine and parts received a full rebuild. All engine bearings (standard) new, upgraded DSS pistons and a TFS Stage 2 Camshaft. Correct TFS Twisted Wedge Heads. The engine was professionally rebuild by our areas leading Ford Performance Re builder.  Correct Upper and Lower GT 40 Intake. 65 mm Throttle Body. Vortech Upgraded T Trim supercharger rebuilt by Vortech. Most to all engine hardware was re plated gold or clear cad. The Supercharger, intake and may parts I had show polished. Exhaust.... Ford Racing shorty stainless headers, BBK H Pipe and Saleen Cat Back. (I could not find the original style machine gun tip tailpipes) The under hood presentation is mind blowing. 

Drive line received a full mechanical restoration. Aluminum Flywheel, Centerforce Stage 2 clutch, T/O bearing, Full Transmission Refresh including all bearings. New Ford Clutch Cable..Rear Diff received all bearings and a fresh Ford Racing Gearset. All oils are Syentetic. Driveshaft is original Aluminum custom S351. All Drive line parts are show detailed, painted after stripping and most hardware plated.

Cooling system. I re designed the problem prone fan circuitry. A under fender 75 Amp fan Relay with an standalone fan switch was used. The radiator is original S351. All Hoses replaced.

Fuel System. A know problem with the S351. I used an Upgraded 03 04 Cobra Fuel tank with dual pumps. Relocated the EVap Module to the L/H side behind the wheel. Use the original 99 fuel feed line. Upgraded the return line to braided stainless steel Teflon. I also upgraded the fuel circuit using a 10 gauge feed wire and a 75 amp Relay.This fuel system will support in excess of 600 RWHP.  

Air Conditioning. Just to make sure all stones were turned over. I replaced the evaporator core, condenser,accumulator and hose. Also the car has a new AC compressor. 

The trunk has the all the evap cooling tubing. Quite a ton of effort to get it Federal Emissions Certified. Interesting to me is the fact that using the E Series 96 Van ecu with only one downstream Cat monitor input.The car needs 2 sensors ! Someone missed that during the certification process... 

Suspension is all rebuilt. Control arms are re bushed. New ball joints, tie rod ends, Correct Saleen springs and Struts on all 4 corners. Rear control arms are new, all hardware was cad plated and all suspension parts including the Saleen  modified engine cradle is Powder Coated. 

Breaks are Saleen S351. All parts are Power Coated and Cad Plated. ABS Module is a Ford NOS part. The Master Cylinder is a new replacement part. 

Wheel and Tires are used. Some signs of ware and a few chips. Tires are Yokohama Front 265/35/ZR18 and Rear 295/35/ZR18 Tread dept on average 7/32 to 8/32 inch.  

Electrically all circuits that were Saleen Modified were re wired. I was quite surprised at the questionable re wiring that Saleen had done. I found a ecu circuit  on the the wrong ECU pin. I have over 120 hours re wiring the saleen engine and dash ecu. I even took the time to rewire the dash ECU with a removalble 104 pin plug and wired a second DTC plug for body module communication and diagnostics. The Saleen is now Pats functional and the Dash (under seat) ECU is re flashable. I believe that there is no one more knowledgeable on the Dual Ford ECU S351 wiring that I. I found it interesting and educational. Got to hand it to Saleen. To outfit a Mustang with the last pushrod engine in the years of the mod motors was incredible.  

Keep in mind much of this work was un needed. I wanted an S351 like no other. Here it is....

2014 Ford Transit Connect Taxi hopes to fare thee well

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

New York City may have selected its taxi of tomorrow, but there are still plenty of municipalities across the US with citizens that depend on yellow livery cars to get them across town in a jiffy. That's why Ford is going ahead with this, the new Transit Connect Taxi.
Based on the 2014 Transit Connect, the TC Taxi boasts a number of features designed to make the compact van appeal to discerning taxi drivers and their fares, with the most notable upgrade being a standardized prep package to convert the 2.5-liter four to run on liquefied petroleum or compressed natural gas. The clean-burning fuel options will allow operators to save on fuel costs and cut down on pollution without sacrificing performance.
A lower load floor and a new twist-beam rear suspension are meant to improve the riding experience for passengers, while the longer 2014 Transit Connect sports extra cargo space as well. In addition to the CNG/LPG conversion, the Transit Connect Taxi can also be easily modified for wheelchair access. Drivers, meanwhile, will have access to optional goodies like Sync with MyFord Touch and a rear-view camera.

Ford EcoSport Storm concept swallows a Raptor in Sao Paulo

Sun, 02 Nov 2014

Ford rolled into the Sao Paulo Motor Show with some pretty cool crossovers in tow, the awesomest of all being the EcoSport Storm concept shown above, which draws its inspiration directly from the F-150 SVT Raptor. It packs a lower grille clearly derived from the now-famous muscle truck, as well as a Blue Storm paint job, black and silver trim, special graphics, lower body cladding and 215/75 R15 off-road tires. Don't go holding your breath for a supercharged V8, though; made locally in Brazil, India and Thailand, the tiny EcoSport is typically powered by a three- or four-cylinder engine.
The Storm isn't the only specially prepared Ecosport on show, however, joined as it is by another pair called Beauty and the Beast. Beauty is decked out in matte copper with a black roof, LED fog lamps, 18-inch wheels with low-profile tires and an interior complete with four individual bucket seats, leather upholstery and a full multimedia suite. The Beast, meanwhile, takes a sportier approach with a white pearl finish, blue and orange trim and three-bar grille. It also wears 18-inch wheels and LED fog lamps, but its interior swaps out its rear seats for a bike rack.
Joining the EcoSport show cars was an Edge crossover equipped with all the latest technologies and done up in bright red with three-bar grille, bulging hood, and an interior featuring 10-inch touchscreens and leather upholstery. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
