    Ghetto and Rice

    OK, I'm an old guy, but I'm trying to stay in tune. :p Let's see if I've got it straight ... Covering the car with stickers from every mod you've ever made--or wish you could make--is rice. Tall spoiler wings are rice, unless you happen to drive an Indy car. Neon is rice. Dragons on anything...

    What Car is This?

    OK, folks, J3ff's picture of the Pacer police car put me in the mind that a thread related to identifying the make, model and year of obscure (or not-so-obscure) cars might be fun. I can't guess if you'll like it or not, but I thought I'd give it a try. Let me know if you think it's a yawner...

    Has anyone used any of these "nanotechnology" products? Anything to that or just marketing blurb?

    Increasing air flow - how far w/ stock PCM?

    Forgive the remedial question, but this is the first car I've worked on or modded since a 1974 Pinto about 25 years ago. I don't really understand how modern cars with an ECU/PCM work. My understanding is that it will adjust the fuel-air ratio and ignition to adapt and that increased airflow...

    Introducing Dulcina

    Dulcina--my new Lincoln LS--is finally "done enough" to be seen in public. :) I've updated my photo garage (link in my signature) with some exterior pictures. Most of the mods are cosmetic. There aren't very many bolt-on performance mods available for the 2006 and stock performance of the...

    Fastener Widgets?

    Are the little black plastic fasteners -- used to hold down the radiator cover, for example -- something that is generic and widely available on auto parts stores? Or is it something I have to track down a part number for and order from Ford? They look like a combination screw and mollie and...

    Part number for coil Covers?

    Does anyone have some place they could look up the part number(s) for the plastic coil covers on 2006 LS 3.9L V8? I want to try painting or chrome-looking them.

    Venting Airbox Worthwhile?

    I'm replacing my OEM air filter with a K&N and I was wondering if it was worthwhile to vent the bottom of the air box at the same time? And will the ECU adjust all right to the additional airflow if I do vent the box? I wasn't going to bother resetting the ECU unless it starts/runs roughly (the...

    Recommend a SoCal suspension/alignment shop?

    I want to have Eibach springs installed on my 2006 LS Sport. Can anyone recommend a good suspension/alignment place in San Diego county (or even Orange or Riverside counties)?

    Placing Jack Stands?

    I confess, it's been about 20 years since I did any of my own work on a car. Umm ... they've changed some. :eek: I'm starting out doing the simplest dang mod ... I want to paint my brake calipers. I went to slide a jack underneath to get the front wheels off and I swear everything under there...

    18" Wheels w/ AdvanceTrac?

    Owner's manual says, "no" (see below), but is anyone running 18s or larger on an LS w/ AdvanceTrac? -- Scott "Do not alter or modify your vehicle's wheel/tire size, suspension or steering; the resulting changes to the vehicle's handling can adversely affect the AdvanceTrac system."
