Hi my name is Ryan and I have an SVO. It has been a couple weeks since I last drove it. Now it is sitting in my garage because of a leaking fuel line.

That was my ice breaker for being an SVO addict. I bought my car in 06' with 58k miles on it (with all of the original paperwork) :p I have kinda rest-modded my SVO, it has an IRS and full suspension out of a 03' cobra as well as a bunch of chassis stiffening parts. Under the hood is the stock 2.3 with a slightly bigger turbo and a FMIC. Anyways here are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure. :cool:

Welcome, from Utah! I'll hit you and SnakePlisskin (http://www.svocop.com/forum/member.php?1347-SnakePlisskin) up next I'm down and we'll grab some beers.

I LOVE what you did with the throttle body. Any more pics and description on that?

My throttle body project was a labor of love. I use an upper plenum from a 99-04 GT along with the throttle body and made an adapter so it would bolt to the factory square lower intake. I had the flip the throttle body upside down and make a throttle cable bracket and plug up a few vacuum ports. I wanted a rotated intake and still use my MM strut bar, since I could not find something that would allow me to do both I decided to make my own using sourced Ford parts from my trusty local junk yard.

Here are a couple pictures of my frankenstiening along with how I mounted my intercooler.

I love the approach. I'm already modding to fit a SuperCoupe TB. I think I'll try you're method as well since I have the parts. It looks great!

I was a little time consuming but worth it just to have something a little different and yet it still have that "stock" look to it.
