    So, after having my '05 LS taken / bought from me by my son I went Mustang shopping and ended up with a '07 Jaguar XKR a couple months ago. 4.2l V8 with an Eaton on top making 420 hp and torque. I got it for about 15% of it's $86k new price and it needed some love. Naturally there is a...

    Infinity Reference 9632 Subwoofer install and review, '05 with NAV

    Picked up these guys from Sonic Electronix via eBay to replace my blown subs on my '05 with an otherwise stock THX / NAV system. I chose these speakers based on their 2 ohm impedance, 94 db sensitivity and honestly the $70 price to my door for a coaxial speaker. The tweater is steerable and...

    Finally figured out my radio reception problem.

    The plastic inner core on my antenna cable going from the isolation module to the receiver shrank allowing the cable's sheath wiring to ground out the antenna wire... :confused: I noticed it because the button on my back glass fell off today and I lost everything. While wiggling around above...

    Random alarm going off, Time for a Battery?

    Is the alarm going off randomly one of the indicators of a bad battery? it's been doing it the last couple days and I have both remotes. I didn't even set the alarm or lock the doors today and it's went off twice now.

    My turn...

    Looked fine a week or so ago. Stopped at WalMart on the way home this morning for some windshield washer fluid and some 22lr. No 22lr but found this when I popped the hood... Is Tasca still the cheapest to order from?

    WTB LS Gen 2 Steering wheel.

    Getting tired of looking at my opal grey wheel with the grey worn off the top from the PO's hand lotion abuse. Please reply with a decent picture and price including shipping to 21740. Might not hurt to send a PM as well. As always, any help is appreciated, Jamie

    Wife looking for an '05 blue front bumper cover.

    2nd Gen Console Lid Latch Repair (warning, slightly redneck)

    Finally decided to tackle the sloppy lid latch this morning. Used a #15 Torx driver to remove the console lid assy and laid the parts out on the trunk lid. My latch is missing the pivot pins so it flops in the lid making latching the lid 'interesting' Another oops is my hinge was...

    Changed spark plugs today, V8 3.9l...

    Just because I wanted to see what I had under the covers. The good is it looks like I have new coils. The bad, the plugs were whacked. No antiseize and wonky gap setting (.041-.064). Oddly enough to plug tips had a dab of clean silicone on the tips. Horrible feeling when the plugs sqeak as...

    Opinions on a prospective new member's car

    Hey guys, quick down and dirty since I'm late for bed, looking for some opinions on this car. Test drove it this evening and it runs very well, shifts smooth and everything seems to work correctly. Only downside was a hint of front wheel bearing noise, and a slight wif of oil around...
