Frequently on Facebook...which is also horrible for distilling knowledge.

Yes, FB is terrible as a knowledge-base. That's why I try to send people here to post stuff that we might want to have documented for reference in the future.

There's been a lot of XR4Ti content created for Internet consumption, and LOST, in the last 10-15 years and I'd love to help make sure people still have access to that knowledge, learning and those resources. I've taken to having to copy some content out of the Internet Wayback Machine and then rep...

What ever happened with this project?

Since we're having an admin issue with the forum software right now that doesn't allow me to create the "Carlisle 2020" sub-forum, I'm going to go ahead an post this info here... The Carlisle Ford Nationals will fall on June 4 - June 7 2020, so get the date on your calendar now. Once again, we will ...

Keep working on it - you'll feel like you need to get more for it and then never sell it! :mrgreen: I'm only just now noticing your very first post that shows the Cub Cadet tractor? Early 70's? We had a ~'66 102 that my Dad bought new. He offered it to me circa 2002 and I just let him trade it in. B...

Disappointed not to find the XRBrati mentioned. I guess the production number was too low.

No real update. The problem hasn't reoccurred the couple times I've driven the car, and I haven't gotten any report from the wife on problems. I'm still suspicious of it being an intermittent wiring issue, but haven't gone hunting for same. The other thing I should check is the PCM itself for any fa...

Do you often use those cheap crimp-on terminals and think, "There must be a better way?" There is. It's not cheap, and can be crazy expensive for the best stuff, but you can do better without breaking the bank. https://marinehowto.com/marine-wire-termination/ Not a sponsor. Not a customer. Just a gr...

We're working with Ryan on migrating the Merkur Desktop to our server. So it's not dead, just sleeping for the moment.

Pictures and an asking price would certainly help your cause.

If you were looking for this pulley "1-Groove machined pulley cut from cold rolled steel. For Hitachi type alternators, unit numbers LR150-711, LR160-723, LR160-723B, LR160-724, LR160-725, LR160-725C, LR160-727, LR170-757B, used on (2001-90) Honda, Isuzu, Nissan vehicles." then those alternators cr...

Yesterday looked like it was to be the coolest day over the next month, so I went junkyarding. Why wouldn't I? :mrgreen: I found a 2003 Nissan 350Z that someone had already cut the nose off, revealing an easy-to-remove, rebuilt alternator. So I felt obligated to remove it. Ya know, cuz I need a spar...

The good news is that identifying which heads you have is as easy as popping off the covers and looking. Agree that it's not a panacea; it just buys a little more margin against failure should something go wrong. The reality is that when/if the time comes to replace the heads, you'd just want to mak...

It's been suggested that 1989 MY Scorpios got the improved head from the factory. Yes, no, maybe???

Please supply some details. Location? Asking price? Pics?
