Anybody want to admit they won any $$, or are you guys who played afraid of the commitments you made over dinner???? sp

Someone on another forum came up with this idea. I've been desperate for something to make my window look better (Its the worst part of my car, in my opinion) so I went for it. I wish I hadn't. I don't like it at all. The mod consists of some truck door edge moulding commonly available at...

I did the Noddy Mod Marcus came up with to repair pitted and deteriorated chrome on the bumpers. The pictures don't really do it justice, but the repair is top notch. Some of the best money I have spent on the car. Thanks again, Marcus, for the idea and supplying the materials! Took me about...

Was by the dealer to get a connector to do the Cobra upgrade. The part number previously given was 87-6249. That got the parts counter fellow close, but here is the exact one 1U2Z-145411-UA. I'll post if it is different from the package tomorrow. For those not familiar, this is the...

Alternator number 4 died yesterday. about 2 months and 1800 miles... I'm giving up on the rebuilds and going to try a cobra unit from Torrie.... The funny part is I finally ran out of cars. The taurus has a rough idle I think is either internal motor damage or the torque converter. I loaned...

A few of us are kicking around a Mini Meet in the vicinty of San Jose, Ca on June 14th. We'd just be meeting for lunch... no real event planned. Post if you're interested in attending... Scott

I've had a vibration at idle since I bought my 95 at 45K miles in 99. The dealer did work on it, not in relation, that had no effect. They rebuilt the heads and replaced the cams/timing chains/tensioners. Since then I have replaced the IAC, Plugs, wires, O2s with no effect. I've also cleaned...

For the record, my car has been undriveable more than 80% of the last 18 months due to suspension, alternator, abs, wiring, etc failures. Just got the car back on the road (600 mi) from the last alternator/battery debacle when I hit a dog on the way home. The dog just came out of the shadows...

Seems like this is as controversial as Ice Cream, but I'll stick my nose in... I've used and found flaws with just about everything: Eagle One - ok, kinda greasy, hard to apply Meguaries Gold Class - Spray, my favorite, but nozzles never work on bottles Meguires gold class paste - utter crap...

Was on an Auction site today looking around and found some great deals on low mileage LS V8s. Found several sub 50K mile 2000 and 2001s for at or under 20K, looking to be in beautiful shape. That's a pretty sizeable drop in only 2-3 years.... Scott

Ok, I am going on my 4th compressor in 6 months. The first one died about 200 miles after I replaced the compressor. The second one was DOA (got 400 miles out of it) The third one failed last weekend, 100 miles after another compressor change, with about 4000 miles on it. My electrical...

Does anyone know what the differences/improvements are in the 98-2002ish towncars? My Mark is failing as a daily driver (drive one day, spend $350 and 6 weeks repairing, drive 1 day, repeat) and is killing me. As soon as work comes thru I might look at a TC as a replacement driver. I know a...
