stevetford Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Ok, after a not so well start I want to begin with an apology to Terry and Dom (BuckeyeSVT) for possibly things I said or maybe the attitude I gave. Anyways, my screen name here is stevetford, real name is Steve Ford. I am 25 years old and am currently the shop foreman here in sunny Cocoa Florida at Cocoa Hyundai. I have been employed here for 3 years. This is my first job as a career tech. Before this I was in the car audio/security/video buisness for 8 years.(I started at a very young age) Anyways, my intrest in cars began with Mustangs where I built many for myself and others. Personally I have had 8 Mustangs, mostly street cars but 1 was a purpose built drag car that went 11.20's on a 306 carb motor with no power adders. Decided for a change of scenery so my next toy became a 93 Probe GT that eventuallly recieved a J spec KLZE, Haltech ECU, and custom T3/super 60 turbo kit. This began the turbo bug. After many mech failures and lack of avaliable parts from the aftermarket(at the time 4 years ago) I began toying with DSM's. This got me to 12.60's on an Autozone clutch and basically a very fun street car. Well, with the anouncement that my 2nd child was on it's way it became obvious that I needed a car the family could fit in(this way I would not have to drive my wifes Dodge mini van). I was looking mostly at the V8 Taurus Sho when I came across a great deal on a 98 Contour SVT which I purchased a few weeks ago. Anyways, I guess I got carried away talking about my cars. As you have figured out by now, I am married with a 2 year old daughter and will soon have a 2nd daughter in October. I am still very involved in the Mustang community as well as the audio buisness. I work out of my garage in my spare time doing anything from tuning Haltech ecu's or carb/nitrous combos to installing elaborate audio systems in whatever you want. I am always happy to help in any way and never scared to ask questions. Hopefully, I can be of some help here. Thanks for the great web site to all that contribute, and sorry for the long introduction. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
