Upon being over Jerry's to help with the suspension, I came up with the great idea to run this instead of any turbo motor. What do you guys think? It's a Dayton 200,000 BTU oil fired jet.

200,000 BTU's of raw power.

The 240 would rock with that.

Those are fun! Or you could just strap some JATO boosters to the roof. (Anyone remember that Darwin Award winner?)

Those heaters are the BOMB!

We have one in the shop (okay so it's pretty much a 3 car garage and a loft) to get it up to temp. Then we have some R2-D2 looking thing to maintain the heat. Those jets are LOUD though... that's why we only use it to get us above freezing.

There was a thread not that long ago with some guy that customizes cars with fat jet engines in them. Crazy bastard...

haha....the thing is an animal....especially in my 2.5 car garage Last night I was working in a t-shirt and very comfortable working on the car with Steph.

I finished up the Focus last night btw. Looks great with the Steeda suspension and the new wheels. If it wasn't snowing I'd back it out of the garage and snap some pics.

Sorry to inform you, but that turned out to be a hoax. I read about that in one of their books a guy had at work. Very cool story, i really wish it was true, the guy survived, and had some footage.
