    Tron

    I have been a little behind in posting my movie reviews, in case any of you are actually reading them, haha. I give this movie a solid B. The CGI is something else and watching it in theater was pretty cool! I loved Olivia Wilde :D Storyline is entertaining and you don't have know the previous...

    Battle: LA

    I give it a C+ So decent to watch with some cool CGI. But overall the character plots were infused with way too much cheese, to a point where you almost had to look away. It also reeked of independence day. I'd say its one of those movies that you should rent for sure, but not waste your...

    Visit from an old friend :)

    So my mark VIII that I sold a few years ago is still roaming around my neighborhood from time to time. The lady that I sold it to called me up and mentioned that her headlights were out. I replaced them with the delrin adapters and a mini balast HID kit from fleabay. Since apparently I have a...

    need to find gen 2 HID conversion kit.

    Lady that purchased my mark VIII is asking for some help. The HID lights on her mark are out. I was wondering where I can purchase the best HID kit for it? I saw someone selling adapter plates on fleabay. Is there another source? Perhaps someone on the forum? Thanks Max

    Drove the 2011 nissan Leaf!!!

    Pretty neat! The car is completely silent, has good pick me up, but very touchy brakes, i am guessing due to the regenerative braking. Overall its a real car and drives like one. Interior is pretty bland, like base corolla/sentra bland. But the dash is very futuristic cool. It fits normal...

    Stripped 4R70W pan bolts. Best fix?

    I screwed up big time, I must have stripped 2 or 3 of the trans pan bolts :( on my crown vic which uses the exact same transmission/bolt size etc as a mark 8. What is the correct size of the heli-coil kit? Is it 8mmx1.25? I have done probably 10, 4R70W transmission services and this is the...

    Got some new rims for my Vette.

    265s up front 315s out back. About as large as they can go... I can't believe a 11.5" wide rim fits under there well! I know some may find the color combo offensive but i simply love it.

    98- Crown Victoria Remote control

    So, my dad managed to take a swim with the factory remote... while it still works, the buttons now stick and lock/unlock the car 10 times every time the button is pressed. 1.I have a remote from a 98 mark VIII with the memory setting on the back... will that work? I tried but I couldn't program...

    Whoa what the heck 5,000!!!

    I just noticed that this is my 5000th post! I saw my 2nd mark 2 weeks ago, driven by the same ol' lady, and we had a little chat, it only has 66k miles as of now, still rides on the original air springs and currently has that dreaded ABS sensor issue :(. Here it is the day i got it...

    I want my mark back!!!! :(

    So recently i really started missing my mark that I sold almost 2 years ago. I sold it for not too much money, and it was modded in a great way for reliability and performance! I just wish it got better gas mileage. If it wasn't silver and didn't have those notorious vibration problems I...
