Last time I tried to sell something on CL I got two indecipherable email replies and some dude offering me Tattoo work for my item (I was selling a computer part, and never indicated that I was open to trades for anything...much less tattoo work). Last time I wasted time posting on CL lol...

Might have been changed for O7, but on the earlier Focus Duratecs, there was only 02 sensors on the upstream "mani-cat" (exhaust manifold/catalytic converter combination). The second did not have any accompanying 02 sensors, which means you can remove it without worry of a CELL. However, they...

Continuation car or not, its basically a glorified kit car. There is no history there, no X-factor associated with the real thing. I'm sure it would be a fun experience, but at the end of the day you didn't drive a Shelby Cobra 427...you drove a replica of a Shelby Cobra 427. They are fun to...

GPIII and GPII for MC? Considering the price point, I was under the impression it was a GPIII and GPI blend.

Here is a quick tip about constrained layer damping systems (which is what all mat type damping products are). Its not just about the added mass, but the interaction between the adhesive layer and the aluminum backing. You need an adhesive layer that remains pliable and sticky, and a backing...

Originally Posted By: jmsjags i love how the engineer talks up the filter being 99.9% efficient at 25 microns. that's not as good as a pureone. and then he goes on to say the royal purple filter is the undisputed best filter on the market. I don't interpret what he said as being undisputed...

How was the car parked? I find it really unlikely that a flying object would hit a parked car (in a row of parked cars) that low on the body. The hood or the roof yes, but behind the door on the lower quarter panel? Also, who left the piece of debris on the track? I'm sure there was a waiver...

She drew her weapon before she realized there was a uniformed officer in the vehicle. Once she saw he was an officer, it appeared to me she holstered her weapon. Honestly, the arrest seemed a bit much considering he was an officer. Surely she should have issued a ticket, and perhaps filed a...

Originally Posted By: urchin Yeah it looks like a good quality filter, but considering you have to pay a premium for it, it's a poor value, you can get lesser cost filters from others that are as good quality without paying a premium. That's why you run the Fram longer, to offset the cost.

These pictures are over a year old Also about a year old, but after I replaced the Corsair TX750 that died. The 4870's in crossfire have since been replaced with a single HD6970. Cable management isn't my thing, and there isn't enough room behind the mobo tray for wires. Power cable I made...

You can get bottom end bearings no problem, just source them outside of Ford. There is a healthy performance aftermarket for these engines, so rebuild parts shouldn't be an issue. As for the oil filters, assuming a person uses the correct filter, there shouldn't be an issue. I know when these...

Is it just me, or can anyone else hear knocking noises? I have a 2.3l Duratec in my Focus, and it doesn't make any knocking noises. From 5-15 seconds and 24-34 seconds the noise is the loudest. Hopefully its just my ears playing tricks on me...

First off, the girl in this video IS Canadian. It happened a couple years ago, I remember the news report. And I'd like to see some of you walk out into the middle of a crowded arena and sing...not to mention on ICE!! Give it a rest people.

03-05 Focus would get my vote. The duratec engine used in these cars is bullet proof, and these model years didn't suffer from the plaguing issues the earlier focuses did. I have an 03 with the 2.3l motor, and it drives like new at 110k miles. In the 05 model year they moved to the 2.0l, which...

Honda dealer: Accord Coupe - Ran out of gas halfway through test drive. Takes dealer near and hour to send a lot porter with a fuel container. They never said sorry... Nissan Dealer: Nissan 350z - The salesmen being unhappy with my rather relaxed driving technique, takes over and hits 110mph in...

Extended Guard is a good filter. Two ply media (it is actually two plies, I cut one open and pulled them apart. Posted the video on here some months back), with metal mesh backing. Filter can is very durable, and while plastic, the bypass has a nice sturdy coil spring and fits well into the...

Apparently the new MB fluid for the 7 speed auto is also backwards compatible with their previous transmissions. Its available under a few different brand names, but Shell 134 is the cheapest and easiest to find online. So that's probably what I'll end up getting. I can find it for roughly the...
