[Silver95Taurus]

hi.
numele yeste marius, da mults me cema mario.
nu vorbesc pra bene. sunt in america dar am fost nascut in romania. traesc in america din 90. locuesc in dearborn, mi. de unde yeste ford. am aprope 21 de ani. conduc 2 ford taurus'. primul lam avut din 2003. yeste 1995 Taurus SE cu multe facut la ya. si am un 1993 Taurus SHO. SHO are motor de yamaha cu 220hp dela factory. poze de machine sint mi jos.

alright.. in english for those of you folks who can read.
my name is marius. most call me mario
i dont speak romanian too well. i was born in romania but have been in america since 1990. i live in dearborn michigan. which for those who dont know. its right outside detroit.

i have 2 primary cars. a 1995 ford taurus SE which ive had since 03. ive put a bit of time and money into the car. mainly suspension and a bit of looks. i have eibach springs and kyb struts. custom strut tower bars front and back. and a bigger rear sway bar. rollin on paradyme 17" wheels with general exclaim uhp tires in a 225/45/17 tire. interior got a bit of work too. adding white face gauges and a gauge pod. plus getting a lil bit of paint. the other fun part of the car is the sound system. which by todays standards isnt anything fancy as most of the components are from like 2000. but ive spent a bit of time tuning it just right. soon the car will be torn apart to get the sho motor and a 5speed trans. its a bit of work but well worth it.

my other car which ive gotten recently is a 1993 taurus SHO. which has the 220hp yamaha motor under the hood from the factory. my brother did a bit of work cleanin the engine up. i recently did full front steering rebuild on the car and it drives nice. but still needs struts and springs. the body is from florida and has no rust.

the last vehicle we have is a 2006 freightliner sprinter. u guys know it better as the mercedes van. ours is the longest wheel base with the 5cyl turbo diesel. we love this thing. 26mph at 65mph all day long.

hello,

You should low more your cars(95 SE,SHO)....also i would "erase" the side trims and front/back trims on the spoilers...and the Ford logo to.

The taillights are to usual... you could make them black with a a special paint..or to buy some aftermarket taillights(if exist) lexus style...led style..etc..



GoodBye....

first of all , welcome to our forum!
it's nice to see you try to speak romanian again .. before "este" , don't put a "y" , because we don't use the letter "y" that often in our language .. este = is
the verbs "traiesc " = i live ; "locuiesc" = i live , don't forget to put a "i" in front of the letter "e"
"ya" - meaning "it"-in english , should be written " ea" in romanian
"dela .." are 2 different words , and ar written separately , like so : " de la fabrica"
"l-am" instead of "lam" ; "ESTE " instead of "yeste" (see "ya" 3 rows up )
"da mults ma cema mario" - wrong
"dar multi imi spun mario " -correct .. hope you understood this one
ok..that concludes the romanian lesson for today..try watching romanian movies and maybe you will understand more that's how i learned english
about your cars: like peter said , remove the ford and taurus logos, remove the "sho" trim , to give the car a "clean" look..
clean the rims on the sho.. the 95' taurus looks ok...
maybe when you raise some money you could find someone that works with fiberglass and has a design skill and he/she could make you a new front bumber &front grille(i hate that ford grill)+sideskirts+ rear bumper , to make you car stand out a little
and the sprinter has a cooler grille in europe :P:P
again, welcome to our forum! we hope you will enjoy your time here..and who knows ,maybe we will convince you into coming back to romania for a week or two , to see how things are going now days

thanks for the romanian lesson. ive been watching vids occasionally. it seems that when i actually go back for a month im a lot better. but its been a while.

as far as the silver 95 SE goes. for now its just the motor/trans swap. but when i get back from the road its getting Koni adjustable struts with some ground control coilovers i have. along with a 13" 4piston brake setup. and probably some 19" rims by that time also. and the other thing im working on is a turbo kit for the car. just a single t3/4 hybrid.
as far as the body. its getting an sho rear bumper and sides. all smoothed out . it is also getting a shaved trunklid i have sitting in the garage with a touring spoiler to set it off. and a carbon fiber 1.5" cowl hood. the front bumper will get a stillen bumper cover. pics are below. and i have the parts to convert the headlights to HID. the tails are getting "niteshaded" at the end of the month on both cars. and the silver car will get the bodyline up top shaved also. i would shave the door handles, but in accordance to racing rules i cant do that. i've taken the cars out to road courses and its just soo much fun. better than drag racing. a roll cage will be added at some point for added stiffness and safety.

the white sho will get a repaint in pearl white, and the old suspension off my silver car. i will also do a trick to lower it another 1/2". its called a "strut tab mod" i will post it in the DIY section for you guys soon. my brother plans to twin turbo this car using some crazy idea him and another local sho guy have. so we will see how that works.

the sprinter in europe has the mercedes grille. and some aftermarket grilles. and they sell "conversion" kits online to transfer all the badges to mercedes for $250usd. but we like the freightliner badging. we can tell someone we have a truck hahah. its only 3 months old and has 30,000miles on it.

and for coming back to romania. id love to. but money and time doesnt allow at the moment. maybe in 5 yrs when im ready to find myself a while i will move there for a year and explore. we still have a house in victoria. and there is one road i want to try in my SE. the transfagarashan mountain pass. omg i love that road. a few yrs back my dad was driving up the road in my uncles 97 ford transit. and some romanian that had brought over his fv6 firebird couldnt keep up with us. and we werent going fast.
my other favorite place would have to be constanca. its beautiful. we have the chance to meet the mayor, and eat at the casino. had 4 people waiting on our table at all times. and even recieved a private tour. will definatly go back there.

thats all for now.

Hey, thank you for adding me.
There is one more example of the Taurus SHO's, here in Romania.
This is my car, with the same engine 3.0 MTX, 220 hp made by Yamaha.
