Random thoughts for the day

[FoMoCoSHO]

I'm thinking about hitting up a wrecking yard to find another front center speaker grill so I can drill it for a small tablet mount to see boost and AFR with torque.  I know my X4 will do it but I'd rather not do it that way and leave my $400 tuner in plain sight.  I'd rather have my $50 tablet taken.

I just hate how slowly the pids update via bluetooth.

I don't remember the exact lines of the SHO but I used a Scosche Mighty mount mini attached to the grill with adhesive. Use one of those 3M adhesive removal tabs between the dash and adhesive and it will come off easy when needed. I think comes with something similar as well. Or if you don't want to mess with that a little goof off would remove any residue. Mount disappears when tab is up.

If you have an MX you might consider using OBDLINK instead of Torque. IMHO it is faster as long as you don't load up on radial gauges. My current layout would be perfect for what you are wanting and you could have some digis as well.

Funny you say that, my gauges are in fact dials.  So best case would be to go straight to the digital ones?

This is my current obdlink setup. It would take about 5 seconds to change to AFR and boost on the radials. Well, if I had boost, lol.

Going on two years soon with our new president and the left still can't accept we have somebody other than a Dem in office.

We haven't seen the Democrats this upset since the Republicans freed the slaves! The left needs to get over it like we had to accept Obama and his policies for 8 years.

Scary statement right there. When you can't talk about the ONE thing that really matters in this country, (politics) that is absolutely frightening. That is loss of freedom of speech and that is everything.

As far as raining every Wednesday? I feel your pain buddy but hold tight til' next Wednesday.

While we respect the right to individual opinions, this is a car forum first and foremost   Politics is one of the most inflammatory subjects there is, so it is best left to forums devoted to such discussions.  Appreciate the understanding and cooperation.

I had this minor pulsating vibration when stopping @ all speeds which could be felt on the steering wheel which was annoying and after having the wheels balanced with road force balancing it did not remedy my symptoms..........

I installed new tires a couple weeks ago to later find out one of the previous tires were cupped which caused this condition and now the vehicle stops as smoooooth as silk!!! Check your tires before spending $$$ on new brakes or throwing parts that you don't need! Some food for thought!  Z

The Ford dealer just sent me a friendly reminder
that your 5yr/100K warranty on your 2013 Ford Taurus SHO may be expiring soon.
It's kind of hard to believe it has been almost 5 years since purchasing the SHO brand spanking new with 2 miles on the OD back on 8/13!!

I guess will have to do some extensive research on an extended service plan (ESP) warranty in the days to come,especially with the turbos & all!
I will keep you updated soon! Thanks    Z

Make sure you buy it before it runs out, or they jack the price WAY up!
