Yes it's a lifesaver, the thread was a bit hard to find I guess not a lot of people would know about it if they weren't thoroughly searching the forum, but hopefully linking it from here will improve that.

Ok, I got this done. $50 amazon fan wired to come on with ignition, no controller for now. I might add a toggle switch later on. Went with the complete delete of the hydro system since it makes me feel better with it completely gone. I used the Ford Escape idler bracket seen in this thread in...

Alright, my hydraulic fan pump is no good. I replaced the actuator before and it runs but now the pump itself is leaking from the back. I'm done with the hydro fan and switching to an electric fan but I need all the info I can get. Searching through the forums what I've found that I can either...

New cars these days have a smooth plastic underbody cover just for aerodynamics. It's probably a minimal difference at the most

Nice! Those fill out the wheel well almost perfectly. I found the wheels I was looking for a while back with pretty good street tires still on them, $200 for the set. The 7 split spoke wheels come standard on the sport version of the LS btw if anyone was wondering

Don't worry about it just remove it if it's really bad or leave it alone if it's not rubbing against the rotors, that shop was just trying to get your $800.

FB Marketplace is the new craigslist, private sale will get you more money than business entities since businesses will want to make a profit from you somehow. List slightly above your price and negotiate when they see it in person

Needle nose pliers work in a pinch. It won't be as efficient as the tool but it gets it done, just place it in the slots and rotate while pushing in

I've had my passenger side ball joint replaced by a mechanic without issue, just make sure you let them know to be careful and that it's aluminum and easy to crack.

FB marketplace is where it's at for used wheels, you can find full sets for under $200 depending on condition. ebay is also an option but shipping will add up, message an offer to buy a full set from a junkyard and they might cut you a deal

Most lses didn't come with them so it's a hot item

Ok I was unaware of the extent of that coolant line, thank you for the information joe. If it is not causing excessive intake heat I will leave it alone To answer your questions, I initially presumed that the intake air would be warmed by the hot coolant and was posting here to see if I can...
