  1. I just don't understand what exactly one does that is fun. I would be so scared of dying, I would never utilize that kind of power. It just blows my mind.
  2. As much as I hate Texas....this is right.
  3. IDGAF...Froggy is on it.
  4. Is that what Tim the Tool Man Taylor had?
  5. Random. Didn't specify. Just the 0300 generic code. They ended up getting the part in yesterday and replacing the cat. I don't know why they designed it the way they did. The whole thing is one assembly on something like a y pipe. So instead of just removing a cat and putting a new one in, they have to replace the whole thing containing both cats. Seems like a huge waste of materials, but whatever, it got replaced and is covered under warranty as emissions parts are 8yrs/80,000mi. I made it by 12,000mi. If it happens again when it's out of warranty...i'm putting a catless downpipe on and getting a tuner and calling a day. They wanted to charge me something stupid to do the plugs, so I said no thanks. Picked up my truck, bought the ford plugs for $26 at oreilly's on the way home, did them in my driveway.
  6. Tossed 2 codes this weekend while it was all rainy outside. Random misfire and left bank catalytic converter. The good thing is, the cat is covered up to 8yrs/80,000mi, and I have 68,000 on the truck. So I just made that. The bad thing is, they have to order the part. As for the misfire, (I am sure they are related) as the they came on at the same time), they wanted to sell me a tune up for $450. PCM update, fuel system treatment, and spark plugs. My response was, "I just had the PCM updated a year ago. Now you want to charge me to update it again?" Ford Rep, "Yes. It looks like a new update is available. You know how your home computer receives updates? Well, it's pretty much the same thing." Me, "Yeah, my computer updates for free, yet you guys want to charge me to do it. So are you telling me Ford wants to nail me $100 every year because they can't get the programming right?" Ford Rep, *no response*. As for the fuel system, I told them I just had it done a year ago, i'm not doing that again. And the Ford spark plugs cost $26 from o'reilly's, and 30min of my time. I'll pass. Please just order the cat and let me know when it will be in so I can bring my truck back to have it installed. lulz. good times.
  7. Keep it up man! People don't realize that one's body can be trained, (in regards to appetite and such), and then in turn, what a difference that food training can make.
  8. My wife was doing t25 after having our daughter a few months ago. She is down to pre-baby weight in 3.5mo. T25 mixed with drastically reducing the amount of sugar she consumes has seemed to work very well, and that didn't require a gym.
  9. Realistically, how long/how many mi do you expect this motor to last at those power levels? (I am still learning about V8 capabilities.)
  10. I have one on the DSM. Love it.
  11. $23k way too high for me, but if I were to buy an evo, an '06 IX would be it.
  12. Such want. And here I am...still playing in DSMLand.
  13. I can't vouch for their products as I have yet to utilize, but will be in the near future. I will say this though, they seem to have a pretty good rep among the Texas racing community.
  14. FYI, I have these guys doing some converter work for me and this popped up in my FB news feed.. Not sure if any of you guys have this transmission as I don't know squat about murican muscle, or if this is even a good deal, but I thought I would just post it up in case any of you guys are looking for one of these. https://www.facebook.com/NorthTexasConverter1?fref=ts
