    Lawyers help needed

    The contract you signed early on ("purchase agreement") will control what, if any damages you can obtain from a breach of contract by the purchaser. The purchase agreement is a contract and terms are subject to both the drafter's point of view and subsequent negotiation. I use a buyer's...

    speedo gear stripped again! this one only lasted a week!

    Adam is right. The white gear is not a Ford part and doesn't fit right. I got my red gear from Ford and haven't had any trouble with it other than some speedo inaccuracy. The speedo gears probably still work when you're going fast because they will turn at speed and skip over the part without...

    T5 shifting hard

    IIRC no synchros on first and reverse. Did you use synthetic ATF when you replaced the fluid? I put synthetic Mobil 1 ATF in my T5 and it shifted harder and would grind on ocassion. I went back to regular ATF and it cured all my troubles.

    I got Tickets

    In Michigan (and I'm sure just about everywhere else) if a parking lot is open to the general public then traffic laws apply. If a property damage accident occurs in a parking lot cops generally don't go out to take a report. I'd still fight the ticket, Danman. If you haven't been to court...

    I need to learn how to weld...

    You can always make multiple passes and/or bevel the ends to be welded if the material is thicker than what your machine is rated for. In any event, here are some basic welding tips: http://www.hobartwelders.com/techtips.html#mig

    Im broke down on the side of the ****ing road with catastrophic engine problems

    I understand your pain. My buddy and I took his car to VA. last year and on the way home at 1 a.m. going up a mountain in the middle of nowhere in PA, his tranny let loose. Cost him $1100 to get the car home.

    I need to learn how to weld...

    You first need to decide what type of materials you are going to be welding. An arc or stick welder is best for heavy material--welding 1" plates, etc. A mig welder (GMAW) is better for thinner materials and required for welding modern auto bodies. It also has the advantage of the wire feed...

    VA Traffic Lawyer Recomendation...HELP!?

    You may have to do some legwork but your library (or a local college library) should have a directory called Martindale-Hubbell that lists attorneys by state and city. They also have an on-line lawyer search...

    Differnces in Crown Vic and Mustang block?

    If it's a roller cam motor you can just put in a Mustang roller cam and use the Mustang firing order. I don't know what other difference there is internally between the Crown Vic and the Mustang other than the cam. Heads, pistons maybe?

    Differnces in Crown Vic and Mustang block?

    If you have a roller cam engine you should be able to put in a Mustang roller cam. I'm not aware of any difference in cam journal size between the flat tappet and roller motor blocks. If you have the intake off, is your new engine set up for a roller cam? It has the lifter guide retainer held...

    VA Reckless Driving "Summon"...Lawyer needed?

    If you're indigent [wink wink] you can get a court-appointed lawyer for misdemeanor/felony cases. Call the court clerk and ask. Sometimes though they make you pay for it but it is a lot less than retaining an attorney. Around here I think it's like $250 for a plea bargain type case. If you...
