Yup, sometimes Amazon prices are better. Got my front and rear rotors from Amazon as I kept getting Amazon gift cards for my birthday and Christmas. If I had bought the rotors from Rockauto I would have paid too much for shipping as rotors are heavy. So got them from Amazon with prime free shipping and they actually shipped out of Wisconsin.

How were the rotors ? I’m looking to get slotted and drilled but all the ones I see come with evolution brake pads as well.

Don’t know yet lol. They’re just blank Centric rotors. Got 4 piston Brembos that I’ll be installing later this year once I repaint them. Just need to get appropriate sized dust shields last. Got everything else needed. Calipers front and rear, rotors, pads and brake lines.

Smooth n quiet, longest lasting = plain rotors.
Blingy n cool looking = drilled n slotted

For the first one with the price tag of 230k I would spend that no problem man ( if I had the means). Not only does that car look amazing it is amazing and they’re won’t be many of them. Comes with 1000HP with massive tires. The cars a show stopper. And make no mistake Ford has dedicated so much to their motors and tranny. The engine alone is probably upwards of 80k

Anyone living in the city/burbs have one of those pop up carports? Looking to save garage space.. fox chews up a bit and the boat takes up a lot. We got a big driveway and plenty of room. This would be a long term thing. It wouldn’t be anywhere near the front of the property.. would barely see it from the road. I’ve googled some stuff and eh it’s all kinda vague. Can anyone chime in?

I know, some think it’s a eye sore. Me, I don’t care.

[ZR]

My sister had one (tube frame with pull over plastic cover with enclosed ends) and used it 12 months of the year. Neighbor complained to the city, she was forced to take it down, city said it's to be used as a temp shelter only meaning ok to use for winter but can not be left up. Not sure if this still applies, happened 2yrs ago, North York.

[Old Fart]

I have 2 Shelterlogic shelters on my lot. Both are 20'x12' and are up year round, which requires city permits. The tarps usually last about 3 years. You do need to anchor them to the driveway or grass as the wind will lift them. Learnt that the hard way with my first shelter many moons ago.

Anything specific you need to know?

[hsousa88]

Nothing specific really.. I know the covers only last a few years and that’s ok. Just thinkin about the legal aspect.. a few houses around here have them. I guess it all comes down to your neighbours.. soooo I’ll most likely have issues.

[Laffs]

Bitterness level is already 11/10 and its not even 9am...gonna be a long day.

[m_owing]

Family member had a pop up shelter from Canadian Tire (Shelter Logic I think). This one was on grass and everything in the shelter rusted. As been said, cover only lasted 2 years, basically no warranty for that. I don't know for sure about the legality, probably comes down to neighbours, as has been said.

Yeah that’s one of the ones I was looking at. A shame we need a permit for something like this.

tired home depot twice and got the wrong stuff twice. Home hardware has been really good to deal with and if the wife calls it in and pays with CC they usualy have it ready by the time i get there.

depending on what your looking for try Pevy Mart. (used to be TSC)

they are a "farm supply" and carry animal feed and as such some of their locations are open for people to go in. (limited capacity and all that)

bad chain or bad tensioner hopefully not an oil pressure issue.


my wife stripped a timing belt on her first car, early VW passat. zero clearance motor. it was all kinds of fucked. 120 down the highway when it popped. she managed to bend every valve and both cams. valves would not even come out of the heads and every piston was buggered.

I have a few friends that are younger and they get their money 2 ways. Either drugs, or parents are from India and have land. So the family money buys them their living ( house ,bills) The money they make goes to whatever so working 40-50 hours a week goes to a 100k car and they don’t even care.

I’m sure their tires are louder than your exhaust.

[Stephen06GT]

All this talk of quiet Mustangs and I go the other way. The GT500 mufflers were just a little too tame on Ol Paint so I went back to the Flowmasters. Maybe I'm not that old after all. Nah, who am I kidding, I'm old as dirt, but Ol Paint needed a bit of rumble.

As far as the tires sticking way out past the fenders, that is a major pet peeve of mine. It's the truck version of too much camber.

Qantas crews are battling a snakes on a plane problem on grounded fleet in US desert

Rattle snakes are squatting in Qantas planes stranded in the Californian desert, prompting crews to come up with new ways to combat the slithering reptiles.

Engineers looking after the airline’s A380 fleet in the Mojave Desert while it is grounded due to Covid-19 are whacking away snakes and scorpions calling plane wheels home.

The “wheel whacker” is the latest tool crafted by crews based at the airline’s Los Angeles hanger to help them solve the problem.

Qantas’ LA engineering manager, Tim Heywood, said weekly maintenance is paramount to ensuring the planes are ready to bring in for service, however storing the A380s in the desert has uncovered a venomous hazard.

“The area is well-known for its feisty rattlers who love to curl up around the warm rubber tyres and in the aircrafts’ wheels and brakes,” Mr Heywood said.

“We’ve encountered a few rattle snakes and also some scorpions, but the wheel whacker does its job and they scuttle off.”

Had a bad experience with the old gas from the Plymouth. It truthfully I had no idea how old it really was.

Just finished draining the tank only about 25L but is dirty yellow. Might just slowly dilute it into the tractor gas. Little bits at a time as you said.

[ZR]

Once it hits yellow stage, best to dump in a can and drop at local recycle. Using SeaFoam on a reg basis goes a very long way to preventing separation n keeping fuel fresh.

Short note on your parts vendors.
They would love to tell you your parts are available in short order or even better in stock and ready for you to come in and pick up right now. During Covid, parts supply chains have been crippled to the point there is a long wait for even common parts with others on back order with no idea if and when they be available again. Just as frustrating, in the middle of an install and stuck for the smallest, most common part which is now days instead of minutes away. Cut the guys some slack, they really do want your business and are working harder than ever to keep that grin on your face.
Frustrating times for all of us.

[xeninworx]

These slow times suck. But I guess we’ve become too comfortable with same day or next day delivery that we just take it for granted. We’ve got it good as just imagine living in a remote location or an island country. Shipping times would suck.

[Scrape]

Luckily our supply chain has not disappointed us yet. I know we had a crystal shortage for our pcb assembly but otherwise the “microchip” shortage has not affected us nor has the raw material shortage.

[xeninworx]

Still waiting on my exhaust. Been over a month now. Should be here some time next month. In the meantime I still gotta install my headers and the Magnaflow exhaust will complete my entire setup. Already got intake, TB and x pipe. Only thing for power I could do now is port the intake manifolds but that’s if I want high end power which I don’t.

[ZR]

We have parts on order we hope to have late Aug or early Sept.

[Stephen06GT]

Late deliveries are a regular occurrence at my work. I was following up on an order earlier this week that was scheduled for delivery yesterday, when I called the vendor they informed me that delivery would now be late July. I was checking p&d for a bearing the other day and the lead time was 28 weeks. Unfortunately this is the norm right now.

[5.4MarkVIII]

Yep. Lots of stuff still on back order. Seems fridges and freezers are the worst.

Some manufactures have flat out said there are some products that they are not producing now in favour of getting more poplar stuff out ASAP.

My New tractor is sitting at the dealer waiting for the mower deck that is suppose to be in next week. But the back hoe attachment we are getting with it is on back order until at least September.

It is, what it is. People just need to realize that the poor people working at the stores don’t need to be yelled at.

Not without costing within a small amount of a new pipe that actually fits.
Your old pipe (if in good shape) is worth a good buck, will help offset cost of the new one.

So with long tubes I would need the full exhaust system all over again wouldnt I ? Headers Xpipe and borla S-type and cats


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Laffs]

Exhaust systems on the SN95/New Edge cars are most commonly referred to as 3 major components

The "manifolds/headers" - part that come right off your heads and merges individual cylinder collectors in to one pipe
The "mid pipe" - the part that merges the collectors of the headers via X or H style connection and contains the cats if present
The "Cat back exhaust" - the flow tubes, mufflers, over axle tubes and tail pipes

The Cat Back is the portion that contains the mufflers and tailpipes (or turndowns) and is the only part of the system that doesn't depend on the configuration of the other two for compatibility. You can run any* cat back system with with any* combination of mid pipe and headers. In your case that means your Borla S type can stay regardless of the other two.

However the manifolds and mid pipe need to be compatible. AKA a shorty header or a stock manifold only works with a shorty header/stock manifold style mid pipe. Vice versa a Long tube header needs a long tube header style mid pipe. Both variants of mid pipes can be had in X or H configuration and containing cats or catless.

Exhaust systems on the SN95/New Edge cars are most commonly referred to as 3 major components

The "manifolds/headers" - part that come right off your heads and merges individual cylinder collectors in to one pipe
The "mid pipe" - the part that merges the collectors of the headers via X or H style connection and contains the cats if present
The "Cat back exhaust" - the flow tubes, mufflers, over axle tubes and tail pipes

The Cat Back is the portion that contains the mufflers and tailpipes (or turndowns) and is the only part of the system that doesn't depend on the configuration of the other two for compatibility. You can run any* cat back system with with any* combination of mid pipe and headers. In your case that means your Borla S type can stay regardless of the other two.

However the manifolds and mid pipe need to be compatible. AKA a shorty header or a stock manifold only works with a shorty header/stock manifold style mid pipe. Vice versa a Long tube header needs a long tube header style mid pipe. Both variants of mid pipes can be had in X or H configuration and containing cats or catless.

I know it’s ideal to do this while the motor is out, but is it really hard to do with the motor already in place ?

To the driver of the 18/19 grey Mustang GT exiting the LCBO plaza in Bowmanville on green rd at about 145 pm today, FUCK you. It’s called a stop sign for reason. How about you turn your head to the fucking left, you missed me and my 2 dogs by less than foot motherfucker. I hope your on here and see this or someone one here knows you and passes on the message.

[MUSTANGWOP]

Damn, I know the exact exit you're talking about and it's brutal, people use it like a yield!!
I don't know if the person is on this board but I hope they see your message.
Sorry to hear about what happened.

If it was kids they may not have reacted in time and he would have ran them right over, didn’t even slow down. Was hoping for a red light at green and hwy 2 so I could go yell at him but he made it thru on the green. Everything I said in that post I would gladly say to his face.

I mean, it's do able I guess. Last time I did some on a buddies we used an engine lift bar, dropped the k member and it wasn't "terrible" but like super time consuming. If the motor is out already and you know you're going to do them there's really 0 reason to not put them on before the motor goes back in.

Header's in the car is not ideal. Money well spent doing them while the motor is out of the car.

I agree but I’m spending money on the build and I need to pay for install. An extra 1200$ ontop hurts a lot

Note headers already bolted in place, will drop straight into the K member with no issue.
Upside to headers, gain some power, gain some sweet sound however there is a downside. Break the trans or clutch, headers have to come off first and that means a bunch of x tra labor you'd just as soon not pay for.

I was planning to swap a TKX or T56 next year. Could I do it then since my trans will be pulled ?

Unless your going with at least 4:10 out back, stick with a 5spd trans.
Trans pulled, still makes header install a job onto itself, only x over is pulling the front pipe to remove trans.

Great yr to sell, not so great to buy.
While prices are still xxx high, market is softening, few are still selling at those prices.

You need that 7th? car. And remember, you can buy whatever you want, just might not be worth the reaction/anger/talk of calling a divorce lawyer.

Its better to beg for forgiveness than ask permission.

[5.4MarkVIII]

Messaged the guy just to go have a look

He was very indifferent and wouldn’t give a straight answer. So not gonna waist the time to go have a look.
