Miscellaneous For Sale/Wanted / Ford factory service manuals
me and a buddy just scored a couple boxes of old and new ford factory shop manuals.....still goign through them to pick out the keepers but foudn one int he first box to let go...

a BRAND NEW still wrapped in plastic XR4TI ford shop manual. it is in a 3 ring binder (looks just like the owners manual)

the pages are still shrink wrapped in plastic. has tabs on the pages for quick searching of info.

$150 + USPS media rate.

looks like some of these are mid 1960's to late 1980's. once we get a list of what we don't need I will post up. I know there are some 2.3 NA and Turbo manauls in the pile but we might hold on on them (just helped another friend swap in a 2.3T in a mustang last month)

I will have pictures posted in the next couple days of what all we have decided to sell. This has also been posted on TurboFord by my friend.

Engine Tech / Can We Do Without Them ??
There is one small issue that all of you are forgetting. He stated it is a 96 which means it has an OBD-II computer. If the computer doesn't get the correct signal from the down stream O2 sensor the computer will throw an error code. It will run really rich. I found this out the hard way with my 96 Bird when I had true duals put on it.

T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / Koni Red rear shocks
I have a set of Koni Red rear shocks for Fox Body Thunderbirds and Cougars. They are used, but have very few miles on them also include all bushings and mounting hardware.

I'm wanting to get $100 for them, plus shipping cost.

I will try to get pics up in the next couple days.

Body/Appearance/Interior / racing seats?
The seats in the link you posted will bolt to your factory tracks, BUT the front of the seat will sit higher than the back. I needed new seats for my Cougar when I got it and they had some of them on Clearance at the warehouse.

Lounge / Insurance company warning
This was the second hit and run in a month. The first one was the pizza guy and the neighbors happen to see him.

Lounge / Insurance company warning
Well my 1996 Bird was involved in a hit and run in front of my house. I filed all the forms the insurance company wanted. Then the turn around and tell me they valued my car at $1700. I asked them how KBB and NADA list it for almost $1000 more. They told me they use a company called CCC Valuescope.

This company takes vehicles from around the are and then adjust the value on them to their liking. When I say area they seem to think that the area I live in includes parts of Indiana, Wisconsin, and Missouri.

I have been using Esurance for over 5 years and have never had a problem with them until now. They are now trying to tell me they are not going to reimburse me on the tax, title, and license fees which is part of Illinois state law that they have to.

So what I am saying is this is a warning to any one here that uses them. I would find a new insurance company.

Should drop an IRS rear in it and scare the piss out of people on some nice back country winding roads.

Lounge / ThankYou George W Bush AND Welcome President elect Obama
Being from his home state there are a few thing most probably haven't heard.

Did you know that he voted "present" 90% of the time. Not yes or no. Just that he was there. Now from my point there was and is no way to make an educated decision on if he is going to be a good president.

As for him being a public speaker. If he has a written out speech is is a great speaker. Just don't put him on the spot. That's when he has problems.

I will be honest about it I did not vote for him because there were a lot of holes that we didn't have answers for.

It was 21 here. I was rolling around on the garage floor replacing shift solenoids in the trans of the 96. Still didn't fix my problem though.
