Hello everyone, I know it's been a bit since I posted in here about emissions stuff. Been a while to sell my house and buy a new one out there (Writing from Cali right now, but will move there in 2 weeks). Anyways.... My job is in what I've been told is the "Art District" by that big AT&T...

Wow that is absolutely amazing. Thank you!

Thank you, yeah that is something I need to keep in mind. We have a huge range of taxes here, new developments are fairly high, and we have what are called "Mello Roos" which I think are equivalent to your "MUD" taxes if I understand correctly. Some of our HOA fees here are insane, over $450 a...

Thank you all very much, sounds like I might be fine even if I move to an emission-controlled area. I want land to build my shop, so I've been lookin a lot at Decatur and Boyd, but it seems like if I cross the county into Weatherford, the costs go down. I will work in downtown Dallas proper...

I'm going to be moving to the DFW area within the next few months and being a car enthusiast like y'all, this is something that has a decent bearing on where I move in the DFW area. I looked at the TxDPS page about inspections and I didn't see anything that looked unreasonable, but I wanted to...

Thank you for your thoughts and votes, I wanted to give it a day or two before I posted why I was asking. The 54 Ford F100 has a wheelbase of 110", but I am putting it on a crown vic chassis, which has a wheelbase of 116". So, I have three choices to deal with it. I could cut the frame six...

I'm building an old truck and I have "photoshopped" (read: I have zero graphical talent and used ms paint) 3 different versions of the same truck. Only the body lines are different, the color and other stuff is exactly the same (And mine won't use this color scheme). Just wanted to get various...

It is in serious disarray right now because I am many steps behind finishing out the interior. I bought it as a rolling chassis/body/VIN but that's it. I bought a 2011 crown vic and stripped it down to a rolling frame (Sold off the 4.6 and trans). [Here's where I get kicked off the board...]...

I dug into the FSM and looked at the various pinouts of the modules, and it would appear that there are three "high speed" CAN Busses and one "medium speed". From what I can tell, the audio itself rides on HS3, and the controls are on the MS. The APIM gets HS1, but I'm not sure what it is...

Thank you, I have been watching some youtube videos on scanning the CAN bus with wireshark and it seems that things like switching tracks, volume, etc. all ride on the CAN bus. It's how your steering wheel controls supposedly work. I'm just trying to figure out the hardware end of it right...

Hey all, it's been a long time since I've been on here, but fret not as I still have my Mustang. Part of the reason I've been offline so long is my new project. I'm doing a resto/rusto-mod 1954 Ford F100. I'm quite a ways away from being done, but I like to have a plan in place many steps...

I see you have an '88 Fiero GT. Man do I miss my '86 GT. Those were outstanding cars, even with the junk chevette/x-body suspension parts that were in my '86. I had the isuzu 4-speed trans because it was an early 86 model. I owned it for about 3 years. I see another Fiero in the future for...

This might sound incredibly stupid, but check to see what transmission ForScan thinks your car has. I only used the GPS for the compass, but it was backwards, no matter what antennae I used. Found a post buried in here to check for the trans setting, and sure enough I have a manual car and the...

I'm fairly positive you snapped the ribbon cable inside the clock spring. I think from one extreme to the other, you probably have at the most 6 rotations. The ribbon cables in them get pretty packed in. You might be able to repair it, but because it has a high propensity of fatigue, the...

Wow that looks slick. Some car body styles don't take to flashy colors well, but the flared wheel wells and door sculpting really make the colors pop on the S550.

This is the tables I pulled from a 2018 off of the tune repository, so I can't guarantee it's stock, but I don't think many people that post up are reckless like that. I am in the same boat actually, I have only experimented with a few different things myself, but I like to see how things work...

Very much true, my first one was a boring silver, but my second one, the one I talked about, was solar yellow. Ever since then, I've only went for wild colors (Comp Orange in this case). Funny thing, we have reserved but unassigned parking at my work. After I brought in the S550 one day, two...

Never realized that re: the ebrake. Yeah some of the kit cars are done really well. GM made most of the corrections for the 1988 model (It had chevette and celebrity suspension components 84-87) which really made it handle the way it should have, but true with GM, once they got it right, they...

Yeah that would be bad. I prefer my bolts to not be elastic LOL. I have to say, one of the most bulletproof engines I know of is the 2.4L turbo engine in the SRT-4 I used to have. Cast iron block, they would take insane amounts of power and just laughed. It had a oil pump from a V8, so it...

Yeah v8 archie makes (Made?) kits for all kinds of engines. Many moons ago, the northstar was popular because it was east-west in design. The supercharged 3800 II was also pretty popular. Despite what a lot of people thought, they were amazing little cars. When I grow up (LOL) I might buy...
