i don't see how that could be since i've not even had my clock in the car for almost 10 years.

i just saw the bottom of the 1st post about the exterior mod list. that's really pretty simple.

rob booth front bumper
rob booth arches
rob booth grille
chevy silverado headlights
polished tail lights
saab 9000 spoiler
and i believe 8" wheels up front and 9" in the back.

sadly that car is no more!

the sealer was flawed and the paint ripped off in big sheets. rob then stripped the whole car down to the bare shell and i believe it still sits that way now since he found another shell to play with.

i'm just picturing a scorpio with 3 weber downdrafts and velocity stacks sticking out the hood!!!

freakin' awesome!!!!

I'm curious. Why do some people do this? :? i did it because rob booth started using his jedi mind tricks on me and i just smiled and brought him a big bag of money. oh yeah, i like the way it looks too. mike, my foot and your nuts have an appointment with each other at carlisle this year!!!! unles...

i'd say the best place to start would be to contact jim deberry. him and chris crawled all over a stock xr8 taking measurements and his stuff is the best. not cheap, but the best. he can tell you all about putting a 4.6 in an xr. demitri also can give you bunches of info. rob booth can give you almo...

if this is the wing you are talking about, then yeah it is just coincidence. this one was imported from europe to trade to nick for the original moonstone blue wing from my cossie. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Ford-Sierra-Cosworth-rear-spoiler-Merkur-XR4Ti-/190728098901?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_...

says the guy who grafted a grand prix nose to his xr.

i don't like it. the front doesn't match the style of the rest of the car.

sort of like putting a mk4 supra wing on the back of a 84 nissan stanza.

you would be 100% correct on hat assumption. that plastic spacer breaks the circuit to send the signal to the slosh board and then allows the slosh board to send the signal on to the gauge. if you leave it there, it will definitely keep the circuit open and the gauge will always read empty.

ok, i will try the same thing on my car and see what happens. i'm wondering if it is something inherent to the t-bird ecus that they simply function the egr differently than the stock ecu, since you said both your t-bird ecus don't work the egr , but your stock ecu does. i have an 8ua and a la2 here...

what about the LA?

^^^^^X2

ok, looking at the pinouts between the two ecus, the xr uses pin 35 for the egr shut off and the t-bird uses pin 33. these are two pins that i swap, so i don't know why your egr isn't working. can you describe a bit better just how you can feel and see it so i can try and replicate the symptoms n my...

no i don't keep any ecus in stock. sorry.


2.3 sandcar, i actually forgot all about this. i'll see if i can get a bit of research done today. if you don't hear back from me in what you think is an acceptable time, just shoot me a pm.

yeah, i can't remember which forum that quote initially was in reference to, but both places have hiccups that has to do with quarters every few years.
