    I have no key to get off the locking lug nuts... now what?

    Never mock the size of another man's (lug) nuts! :nono: :jester:

    V-Force Mufflers.

    Those, like most other Flowmaster knock-offs, most likely sound exactly the same as the 40-series mufflers, since that's their most popular line. Pypes had a Flow knockoff for awhile, but I think they've stopped making those now (perhaps they hadn't paid for the rights to the design or something).

    is wiring like this safe?

    Unless your car was positively loaded to the gills with options from the factory, there's usually at least one or two unused circuits for interior equipment that the car was either not equipped with or something that was used on a prior generation or another model of Fox but not on that...

    I have no key to get off the locking lug nuts... now what?

    Nope. It's pretty well permanently fused into that sucker. Been in there for years, actually. Good thing I've never had a vehicle (yet) with lugs that required that side on the lug wrench. :D

    I have no key to get off the locking lug nuts... now what?

    +1 ...and don't do like I did by trying the same trick with a four-way lug wrench. I still have a lug nut stuck in the end of that one that I've never been able to get out because I was in a hurry at the time and didn't think things through as well as I should have. :doh:

    Deleting A/C and P/C, belt routing/pulley ???

    I saw a pic on another site where someone had somehow flipped their tensioner over and was still able to use the stock water pump when deleting the A/C and power steering pump. I'll see if I can dig that one up somewhere. I think there was a link to a how-to article somewhere, as well...

    cockpit/engine pics

    Jeez, man ... if that car's a "turd," then what am I driving? An abomination? I'd post pics, but there's nothing to show. Y'all have seen a stock '84 or '89 interior enough times before, I'm sure. :shrug:

    Arrrghh, another issue with clutch install

    NAPA sells high-temp silicone hose. It's expensive stuff, but you'll only need a little. Cut the smog tubing at a place as far away from the cats (heat) as you can, and then later use the high-temp hose (5/8" I think) and two hose clamps to reconnect both ends of the tube.

    So I'm going to surprise my son in law with a Fox when he comes home from teh Sandbox

    Say, I know where you can get an '85 Capri body for FREE. Only thing is, it needs EVERYTHING - motor, trans, doors, hatch, glass, front/rear lights, interior, etc. - but hey ... it's FREE, and it's a Capri. Might take a bit longer than a year and a bit more money than any of us could pool...

    Things that piss you off...

    I get pissed off by people that flag my Craigslist ads for absolutely no reason at all and don't even have the balls to contact me and tell me what their beef is. I only re-post the ad once a week (which is allowed) and I'm not spamming anything or selling anything that's prohibited, I'm posting...

    Things that piss you off...

    When someone says "Come pick me up!" so you drop what you're doing, you waste the gas and time to go drive over there, but when you get they're they aren't waiting, the TV is on inside, and there's 5 freakin' vehicles out front, and nobody will answer the door for like 15 minutes, and even...
