    Single Post Lift Question

    Hey Mark. Talk to Sanjay. He has a few single posts in his personal garage. I think his were made by Tuxedo? No complaints from what he's told me. I looked into the ACL's when I was building out my garage. Couldn't justify the cost when I could get 2 four posts for less than one single. Plus...

    A couple of techy questions...

    Guess your inspection station wasn't aware of the change. https://www.dps.texas.gov/news/dps-reminds-texans-vehicle-safety-inspection-changes Just came back from getting the CS done. Plugged in then gave me my PASS inspection sheet. No flipping of lights or turning on the wipers.

    Guess you're not aware that there are no more safety inspections in Texas for non-commercial vehicles. Just OBDII scan/emissions. We can run on bald tires and no functional lights. Yay!:oops:

    This has broken tabs written all over it. And I imagine this part is long ago NLA. But thanks for the tip.

    A couple of techy questions...

    Thread revival: Ok, so to be clear, the only way to remove the foglight lens is through the inner fender liner? No way to just pop off the lens cover from the outside?? I noticed this road debris inside the housing and it's bugging the sh*t out of me.

    New headlights for 2005/6MY Ford GT

    Been following the Founders thread on F-chat and the 360/430 owners seem to be pretty happy thus far with the first run of their lights. While I fortunately don't have a need for replacements on my GT at this time, it's good to know these are in the pipeline to get made. I was driving at night...

    Got it. I may just pick up another gasket off eBay just in case. And yes, stock TB. Thanks

    Gets air, fuel and spark then dies/July 4th Parade pics

    @The Grey Ghost @nota4re Thanks for the suggestions. I did have to replace the MAF sensor many moons ago and haven't had issue with it since. I checked and it's rock solid with the red tab secured. Will get some MAF cleaner tomorrow and give that a shot. Kendall, can the IAC valve be cleaned...

    Gets air, fuel and spark then dies/July 4th Parade pics

    Odd, indeed. I'll certainly check the terminals/connection/ground. Sort of explains some of the symptoms, but not others (i.e. the starting and then dying, remedied by giving it some throttle once I get ignition). Last time I had a bad ground, the dash lights would either be dead or flicker...

    Borla/Ford Racing Cat Delete

    It's all very subjective. I have the rear exit header setup Kendall referred to and when I first drove it, I thought "my God, what have I done". 10-11 years on, it's perfect. Actually, sometimes wish it was louder. It's either toned down or I'm just losing my hearing.:D

    Gets air, fuel and spark then dies/July 4th Parade pics

    Encountered a peculiar issue with my '05. Let me say, I'm in no way blaming them, but this started happening immediately after I took my car in to M2K for some routine maintenance and swapping out a battery tray back in January. Drove my car home after getting some gas at a Shell station (not...

    Replacement Splitter Struts - Adjustable

    Kendall comes through with another fix! Looks like I'll be ordering from you again (over the years, transaxle cooler, Fumoto valve and new hood struts, and of course, the PPI Ryan did on my car 13?? years ago). I've never taken a look at the attachment of the OEM struts. Do happen to have a...
