    I am ready for a pulley but....

    That would be a step in the right direction. Time will tell. In the meantime, it's blowing 40 knots here and raining cats and dogs. I may to build an ark to get to Puyallup. :wink

    Uncomfortable Seats-Help!

    Ha Torrie. :wink I may have offended someone, so let me clear things up. I understand that Old Milwaukee is NOT the "Champagne of the South" any longer. My pistol-packing buddy in Little Rock assures me that title has passed on to Pabst Blue Ribbon. I stand corrected. PBR Rules!!

    It's Black and White..........

    respectfully disagree. See Joe's car for proof. Here's one for you Professor - If your car could travel at the speed of light, would your headlights work? :biggrin :cheers

    Still my question stands - you said it "can't be done". I'm just asking why not, when everyone else is doing it.

    I am ready for a pulley but....

    Great offer - may take you up on that. Puyallup's not too far away. Just need to have the street crews clear away the fallen trees and then wait for the flooding to subside!! I've seen on the news that salmon are swimming in the streets in Washington State, so maybe I should bring my fishing...

    I am ready for a pulley but....

    well for those of us who have inclement weather for a few more months, we can wait at least a few months more to see if/how things develop. Personally I want to increase the HP but I'd rather not void the warranty on the engine if I can help it. Just in case there's a part or two in there that...

    I was told the Ford program would involve 700+. I may be missing something at this huge site, but I can't recall seeing numbers above 640 or so without doing more than a pulley change. True?

    Well aware of that. Still my question stands - Bony said "can't be done". I'm just asking why not, when everyone else is doing it.

    I am ready for a pulley but....

    Okay thanks Joe - right now I'm getting 10 - 12 mpg. So if I buy an SCT Tuner from a good guy like Torrie to lean the car out and get good mileage, I'm told I will also increase the efficiency of the motor slightly. IOW a slight HP gain there. Is that going to really hurt the emission numbers...

    I am ready for a pulley but....

    Don't shoot the messenger! Why would a HP upgrade kit installed by a Ford dealer be any different than if I had them install catless headers? Plus why would HP upgrades made by a Ford dealer be more taboo than if done by an aftermarket tuner or manufacturer? Please explain why THEY would have...

    Just in case you guys did not know

    Rich, you chrome-haired devil! Very nice cameo!!

    I am ready for a pulley but....

    Boys, a 'little birdie' at Ford told me they are working on an upgrade to achieve 700+HP. IF they do finally offer it - no guarantees - they are also working on a plan to extend the engine warranty if the install is done by a Ford technician. Once again the private market guys push the envelope...

    GTX1 Top Gear Video

    Beautiful. Now I'm hoping GT prices keep dropping because my wife watched that video and now she wants one! The girl has good taste, but just when I thought big diamonds were expensive.....

    Overnight Trip - What/Where to Store?

    If you have to educate them do it. Maybe you need to go to places that have brighter valets!! (kidding). They will bow when they see you. Invest some time if you want to have a good time. My wife and I go out to dinner at least once each week. Look for places you want to re-visit and that has a...

    Overnight Trip - What/Where to Store?

    Syco Man - I give them $20 - $25 for strangers; up to $50 if parking was really tight and they did me a big favor; usually at the END of the night though. If I figure I'm going to give him a fair amount that night for their trouble I might slip them $10 or $20 at first and tell them the rest...

    Overnight Trip - What/Where to Store?

    Belize, this is Partying 101! Didn't Hollywood teach you anything?!! Assuming you are sincere though, when we go out and need to park one of our nice cars we just simply plan ahead for the parking. For example, I have reserved some "perfect" parking spots around town that are at places we...

    Overnight Trip - What/Where to Store?

    Syco, you must travel light! What is the secret? The only way I could get all my wife's clothes in bag that small is to make her only wear bikini's. WAIT A MINUTE!! I think we're onto something here..... :banana

    flying below the radar

    I am a car guy, but I like planes too. see this link http://www.glumbert.com:80/media/flylow I know the Migs have flaps to close the air intakes on takeoff, so even if there is debris on the runway they are ok. Whereas US fighter planes do not have that feature, so runways are constantly...

    how many bogus tickets have you had

    Roger, you are a true humanitarian. Bless you. Trust Denmark to actually get some great looking girls on the job. Over here they'd probably get some members of the communist lesb*@n party, or the defected bulgarian women's wrestling team. I wonder where Jason (1of101) is on this thread? maybe...
