    short throw shifter

    As you can see from earlier posts I only secured these about a week ago. I wish I had known I could have gotten these sooner...

    short throw shifter

    Again, that is me on ebay. They are cheaper in my store without the ebay fees ($450): http://www.core-shifters.com/servlet/the-98/2005-2006-Ford-GT/Detail Anyone that wants one please go there. You do not change alignment from stock, you just pop the cables on as shown in the post. That's...

    I'd love to, but my wife seems to think it's fast enough stock.... :bored

    5000lb Toaster shaped Ford Flex Beats Corvette

    We too have an Ecoboost Flex (2012). Traded in a Land Rover for it. My wife couldn't be happier. Zero trouble. Perfect for hauling an infant around. I test drove the Explorer and Edge right before this, and once I sat in the Flex I knew it was the one. It is quite relaxing, smooth, and a...

    short throw shifter

    For those that have asked about installation instructions: I will make sure they come with the Ford Racing instruction sheet and any other supporting info I can round up. However there is a very good post from years ago about doing the install already posted here. I encourage anyone buying a...

    short throw shifter

    Yes, I am taking orders as they have some already built and shipping to me shortly. Thanks guys! Once they are gone I'll have to shut down until the rest arrive. As I am not a big-budget supporting vendor I'm trying to keep things low key here; still I'll make it a point to renew my annual...

    short throw shifter

    Done deal, I have bought all they have left. I will have some in a week - email me if you need one. I also have a few stock shifters available.

    short throw shifter

    If they are willing to sell them outside of Ford, I will be buying them in large quantity ASAP. But based on past experience I'm not sure that is true.

    short throw shifter

    I buy a great deal of parts from Hurst and B&M. I have an inquiry in about this. Last time I tried I was told it was a Ford exclusive, no one else could buy.

    Ebay Jerk Alert!

    A shame titles are not branded for rentals. In a way I see this car as better than most salvage cars, but certainly it isn't worth any more as it needs some restoration of its own. Interesting that although the structural integrity of the car is probably not compromised so much of it might...

    New T.T Billet intake

    I know they claim development cost is high but I can't understand why tuners aren't doing more with variable vane turbos. I love them on my Touareg.

    My New Gal/No side Latches

    Sure enough the Mecum pics show the lack of latches better from the side view: http://mecum.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=DA1011-114976 What is the VIN#? Quite an extent to go to just to eliminate the latches. Hopefully one of the prior owners mentioned this in your conversations? They...

    Cruise Control

    The buttons are honestly a minor detail, there are various options - how OE it can look, I am not sure. The only way CC will work on our cars is with a servo cable pulling on the throttle body, in parallel at the TB, or back at the pedal. OE systems typically are not centralized and therefore...

    Cruise Control

    I installed an aftermarket CC on a 1996 RAV4 some years back, pretty sure it was from these guys (bought through a distributor): http://rostra.com/ Probably others out there, JC Whitney sells some (including from Rostra I believe) but you never know what brand they are or what you will get...

    Passed my smog and I live in California

    I had mild trouble here (in TX) with the OBD tests. However a simple change in the tune to enable the EGR and I was all set. TX requires all but one of the OBD status markers to be at "ready", and we kept the rear 02s off I believe, which was acceptable. Though I would expect the rear 02's...

    Whipple Belt Chirping Explained and Corrected

    I think it should be added for general reference that the "correct" position of the idler depends on your pulley size and belt length and should be set relative to the stock tensioner range of motion. Some say shoot for the middle of that range, certainly not good to bottom it out either way...
