Well, my names Brad and im from Wichita, Ks. Im a 20 year old Air Traffic Controller in the US Marine Corps and currently live in Okinawa, Japan. Ive got a 2003 Mach 1, with a termi swapped motor, full exhaust, and gears. Im joining this forum a little early, but would like to know a some car enthusiasts before I get to WA. I've got a little less than 2 years here in Japan, and then i'll be out of the military and moving myself to Marysville to go to college. My cars already there in my uncles garage, I drove it from Kansas and spent my last week in the states in Marysville, and INSTANTLY fell in love with Washington. YOU GUYS HAVE IT NICE!! lol Ive always had a mustang, from my first car, a 1986 5.0 to my 1994, 1995 FI 5.0L 5-speed cars, my 1996 mystic & 1998 Cobras, my old Azure blue Mach 1, and to my current 2003 TR BLWNMACH1. When I get back I'll be building a 351w Turbo'd fox, so expect questions and a LOT of WTB threads haha! Can't wait to be back and meet some of you in person and show off the Mach!

Here's a video of my car from Dec 2011. Best past 12.3 at 116.85mph. Horrible 60ft times of 2.0-2.1 (had to drive the car across the country so did want to break anything! LOL)

Welcome to SBO!

I love Kadena AB for the golf and weather.  Spent many days, weeks, months TDY there from Misawa AB.

I watched the video..Nice ..

What does that thing wiegh?

[blwnMach1]

If I remember correctly, with me in it..it was at 3800lbs. I may be off, the exact numbers are with the car. It should be good for 11.5s and up with good tires. I just couldn't afford to break the tranny or the rear end while I was in Kansas. Since I bought it in Oct. and left in Dec. of last year.

Kadena is very nice, has the best of everything lol as would be expected with the AF and most Air Bases. Im stuck on Futenma, which is literally just an airfield. Nothing to exciting going on here. lol The golfing out here is amazing from what i've been told. Im more excited for the scuba diving, and the natural sights. Ive got a gopro hero2, so im planning for a lot of underwater footage. The spear-fishing out here is amazing too. Im assuming you were in the military out here at one time?

[jtmustang]

Wow i knew those year cars were heavy , but that is more than i would of thought.

Spear fishing sounds fun..

...and spent my last week in the states in Marysville, and INSTANTLY fell in love with Washington. YOU GUYS HAVE IT NICE!!
