I've been retired for 10 years so it is entirely possible that TSMC found smart people somewhere else, and even then who knew where they were. The people that design these transistors and the blocks built from them now work at almost atomic level. Stuff is so small that the real meaning of...

Just to be clear, TSMC is a chip MANUFACTURER. The chip content (the design of what the chip does, ie, the "intellectual property") is done by someone else. TSMC even manufactures some Intel chips these days (as a second source). TSMC designs the very low level transistor elements that the...

Big difference between "Made in the USA" and "Assembled in the USA" (from components manufactured elsewhere).

Did any privateers pick up the NFGT after Ford was done?

Plug in your trickle charger before disconnecting the cables and insulate the positive so it doesn't touch ground. This will keep the engine adaptives "ready". Otherwise you'll have to complete a drive cycle.. esp important if you have emissions test coming soon And indeed this subject has...

My version of the GT Guys tune (from 2011) was not able to pass OBDII emissions tests. It disabled the O2 sensors and EGR test, maybe more, I don't recall. No check engine light ever came on but the "readiness" indicators said "disabled" so there was no chance of getting through. After...

The belt was not changed for the GT Guys 2011 era pulley/tune. The idler pulley made up for the difference in diameter to keep the same position of the idler arm. I can't say what they may have done as time went on...

So here's one way to tell if it is stock. When Rich did my pulley/tune he sent me a box of take off parts. The original S/C pulley, the idler pulley, original spark plugs, etc. I don't know if he automatically sends this stuff back but I would assume probably so since lots of people want to...

It's a idler so it won't be ribbed because it's on the flat side of the belt. The numbers on the diagram left side are clipped in the picture but I think it's #13. I know you can reach it from the engine compartment without taking off the access panel on the other side. It's just to the...

At least they're not repainting it a different color each time like Shelby did the Cobra. :)

The quote is derived from an event in the 70's in Phoenix when the Salt River flowed (not necessarily flooded) but huge amounts of water washed out the roads that crossed between Tempe and Scottsdale. The few bridges that crossed had at grade approaches that also washed out. The picture was...

Just like some selfie takers back up off the edge of the Grand Canyon. Stupid people should be allowed to die.

Coming out of a meet in the morning == cold tires on cold pavement == expect a pucker moment and behave accordingly. He thought it was warmer than it was. No doubt violated the rule of "never step on the accelerator unless you're going in a straight line". Probably no damage except to ego...

As explained in the dvd thatcame with the car every gear is a working gear, ie acceleration even in 5th. The video says anyone hitting the rev limiter in 6th is in jail. I forgot who hosted the video. A race guy. It was pretty informative. I think it was posted on the forum ages ago

My gt, cobra and mustangs were weekend toys for drives in the local area a couple of times a month. Simply pulling the car into the driveway and running the engine til the temp gauge gets to normal isn't a substitute for a short drive that gets all the fluids circulated. even around the block...

There are many stories about "A man's best friend is his dog." I was watching an old western - Death Valley Days, whose stories are always "true" (maybe based on fact is a better choice of words). The story was of a lawyer representing a young boy whose dog was shot by a mean old man. (the...

Oil deteriorates from contaminants. Most come from use. Water can condense but is evaporated if the engine is at operating temperature. In the absence of contaminants oil is already somewhere between 252 and 65 million years old. It does not rot. Another couple of years sitting in a can...

Ah ha! This article showed up about 30 minutes ago (after my post above) according to google search. https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2024/02/25/ford-flawed-takata-air-bag-repairs/72537303007/ It too looks like it might be a subscription (some places let you view 3 articles...)...

The link is to an index page. Here's the article link https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2024/02/26/ford-flawed-takata-air-bag-repairs/72737502007/?gnt-cfr=1 It's only for subscribers. The vague description is that it's against workmanship not the part. If the replacement part was bad...
