Re: Big move

Looks like Tasca's presence is all in the New England area - not exactly around the corner! A cupla questions: 1) Are you gonna work from home, some remote site, or??? 2) If I order parts, how do I get them (I would assume via normal shipping methods)? Phooey - no delivery truck, and I can't pick s...

Re: its like a part of me is gone.

Gotta admit, the Evil Vic do sound pretty amazing. IMHO, four bangers just don't cut it, sound wise.
Congrats on selling the Focus. Keep us posted when you become VICtorious.

With that much 'firepower', you could open your hatch, point the woofers toward the rear, and use the wind they generate to push the car down the road! :-P

Re: VSS on 2013 ST

its the speed matching volume and the auto makers should catch on soon that no one likes it. 8) I appreciate your open-minded remark. :lol: If you drive a Lexus LS or some-such "quiet as a tomb"-mobile, you will have no need for such a feature. If you drive a noisy little bomb like an SVT...

Re: I'm Not Going To Pay It

Yeah, I thought of a tune in the past - but not E85. Anyway, with the cost of a Predator and all, plus the complexity of tuning an SVTF, the cost/benefit analysis didn't allow it. And this late in the game, I'm not going to do it. I wish there was a system that worked something like this: - Two tan...

I'm Not Going To Pay It

I stopped at the local BP station a week or so ago to fill up the SVTF with 93 octane, and was miffed to see that premium was 40¢ per gallon more than regular. Usually it's 30¢ per gallon more (used to be 20¢ per gallon more). I stopped there again recently, and premium was back to 30¢ per gallon m...

That's why we sell complete new cabs, boxes and frames on Super Duty pickups, they can sustain massive damage and still be repaired without exceeding their value.
Are you suggesting that one could use those parts to repair an SVTF???? :lol:

By "mud blockers", do you mean the straight, rubber gasket strip along the bottom of the door?

Removing Front Door Panels/Rust Inhibitor

As part of ongoing preventive maintenance, I want to remove the front door panels, inspect the interior-bottom of the doors, and spray some sort of anti-rust stuff on the inside. A cupla questions: 1) How do you get the inside rearview mirror covers off? 2) Any door panel removal tips? 3) Any sugge...
