Hello All I'm Brian from NJ

I'm Brian from Elk NJ, aka Turbo, or Larkin, or Turbo Brian
good friend of Bob Kinee and Chris Klien (crazed88tbird)

i own 2 Thunderbird Turbo Coupes, ones a 88 and the other is a 87, but it doesn't matter as they are identical.
both feature the ford 2.3 liter factory turbocharge and inter-cooled inline four cylinder with 5 spd manual tannys
the 87 is stock except for a few add on for boost and air flow

88 is the "lil bit worked" toy.

i use the 87 as my daily driver. which share it work with my 95 ranger splash.
now on to my 1995 ranger splash, this truck has a few code names... back to black and rice to nice.
i bought it from a veyr close freind for a very small sum. it was sitting and deteriating. it was once a show truck but i have completly transformed it into a amazing modded daily driver. its all cosmestics and interior, not much power from the 3.0l V6..just a K&N *bro*.
its has many nice features....i think a few of you may have seen it a few years ago when i met up with bob outside of horsham near a thearte, it was black with purple tribal flames...then...

i plan on seeing you guy this upcoming show season either with my 88 tc or the truck!
thanks!

welcome to the site bro

Welcome to the site! Nice rides, hope to see you at some meets.

Nice its about time we got more american cars into the club.

TURBO LARKIN!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!! now its a partyyy!

Welcome! Nice rides! Hope to see u at some meets!

hey man welcome to the site..hope to meet ya soon

Thanks guys, all ford fleet here as well as my family's.
i have another TC that hasn't seen the road since 2004, it is dark blue met. miss it a lot.
i love meeting car enthusiasts that share the same passion i do.
cars are my life....literally. i work on them during that day, also have one to work on at home and dream about them, either making it look decent or performing more efficiently.
so i do all my own work, only thing i don't do are windshields and tint.... i let the pro do that.
my 88 is the pride and joy of the fleet. i installed a short block i built up a few years ago.
and now i working on the head since one of the valve seats disappeared and the the rest of the exhaust seats were so cracked..the machinist said he had never seen a 2300 head this bad. but the engine started dropping the cylinder in may and by june it was a dead idle miss. but it ran so good i couldn't take it apart. in sept i finally and wow to my surpise the seat as 1/8in in and it was basically leaving the ex valve open. and only had 30psi compression compared the other at 145-160.
so i got a reman head with roller cam and t3 turbo and a few other lil goodies to go on it once it gets a lil warmer.... i love getting 27mpg and still having roughly 250hp to play with in a giant car.

Oh geez my guys are takin over, lmao.
