They won't fit on mine, unless I bend the cr@p out of the oil dipstick tube. Yellow handle already touches my Shaker 'Cold Air' duct.

Looks nice though.

I think Kzinti is out of commission. He got in trouble a while back from Ford for providing useful (and helpful) information to us customers. Go figure.

Umm, the best drugs are non-prescription...

After a butt-load of tests , The MRI came back with the verdict , buldged disks and arthritis along with bone spurs and a case of Carpul tunnel on both hands was just too much for the boy! Now I have to see the "Pain Management" specialist. He`s bonna lazer guise a anti-inflamatory into the spinal area along with some good pain medicine after I get off the dime and make a appointment with him.
Maybe I can enjoy shifting the `Stang once again.

I need the GOOD drugs!!
Da mn, you guys and your backs are killing me, just thinking about it
Good luck with your surgery as well.

That stinks. I didn't know that. I see the posts now. Looks like back in May. Sure am glad he was around when we were building.

I like Evanescence ok. Her voice gets on my nerves after a while though. (sorry, Bill)

Mike and Tom - I am hoping it's not in the water. Good luck to you both on your treatments.

What are they $400 new ? I probably would if Doug doesn't charge too much for the tunes, but didn't you already order it ?

Yes, $400 new. But, aren't they $75 per tune? That would be $425. Unless he makes you a deal.

Don't do it.

Like Tom said, do the math.

Not only that, you'll miss the customer support, free tune updates, hardware support, etc... There are many benefits to buying the whole unit and tunes.

I had the chance to buy the handheld for $150, but turned it down just for the reasons above.

Daryl- The letters and 3rd brakelight look great.

Bill- I wonder why your dipstick sits differently. I wonder what Tom's dipstick looks like.

I haven't ordered it because I haven't been able to get a hold of Doug. Doug charges 185 for three tunes so I'd only save 20-30 buying it from the tms member. As Bill said I think it's better to get it all from Doug so I don't have to worry about any problems with the SCT and plus if I do I can always turn to Doug. So I'll spend the extra money for piece of mind.

I'll take a picture of my, um, dipstick tomorrow.

The directions from CDC do say that you have to slightly bend the dipstick toward the shock tower. Maybe Bill bent his a little less.

Well, dare I say that if you come down to test drive my car, I'll show you!

I just went out to the garage - when a girl wants to see your dipstick, you don't keep her waiting:

Attachment 10245 Attachment 10246

I really hate the flash... need to fire the air compressor up to blow off that dust!

I did pull it toward the shock tower to get it centered (perfectly, I might add) like you see it, but I don't know if one of those handles will fit, or not?
