Basically where they try to make a copy of all the data on the website. They were also trying to escalate privileges to gain moderator access.

This happens a lot, to every forum.. this particular one was very persistent as the bot was going topic to topic, message to message.

Have another IP address this morning exhibiting the same behavior.. the new forum software has better logging capabilities, which is a curse and blessing lol.

Sharp!

Should really prove incredibly beneficial for those looking to upgrade the paltry OEM brake set up.

Nicely done and kudos to all involved!

An attempted "scrape"?

I'm not techy. WTH does that mean (in layman's terms).

Some entity or individual tried hacking it/shutting it down completely?

If so..... geezuz. Why pick on this wonderful community?

Welcome aboard!

My old (now deceased) mechanic/long time friend had a FLEX.

Loved it, and all the room it offered. Not to mention the power of the 3.5L EB power plant.

Post up some pics when time permits. We all love car porn after all!

Found this video. This isn't me but this is exactly what I'm dealing with.

Maintenance, Oil, and Fluids / Steering Noise
Last post by LipschitzWrath - February 07, 2024, 09:04:26 AM
For several months now, my 14 SHO has been making a steering noise. The noise occurs any time I turn the steering wheel left or right. The vehicle can be stationary or in motion, doesn't matter. The best description I can give for the sound is a grinding noise.

I have not yet noticed any problems or symptoms. I don't feel any feedback through the wheel, nor have noticed any increase in steering effort.

In fact, the only thing I've noticed is that sometimes after sitting overnight or over the weekend, the steering wheel feels locked in place for a second or two until I really pull on it.  After that, everything is fine.

A cursory glance on the underside hasn't shown anything. I've yet to put it up on jackstands and have someone else turn the wheel while I observe.

Has anybody had this happen? I'm guessing the rack has gone tango uniform but now I'm wondering if it could just be the assist unit?

The job doesn't seem hard, just slightly time consuming. How hard is the programming if I install a new rack or assist unit?

Performance / Dual MAP sensors?
Last post by DualBoosted - February 06, 2024, 12:57:26 PM
I have a 2014 flex EB and 2017 SHO, both appear to have dual MAP sensors, 1 before the throttle body and one in the intake manifold. Why does only 1 get replaced with a 3 bar MAP when doing a tune upgrade? Is the one before the throttle body already a 3 bar MAP?
