1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Yeah I'm just really concerned because he would have no reason to be visiting anyone in our cul de sac. With three houses being elderly people with no immediate family in town. One house is my land lord and the last house is empty. I hope it's a really bad gps error but my truck is pretty easy to identify and he can look up my address on our IT user database.

EDIT: HOLY F***. His location just updated again in the cul de sac.

 

Maybe he thinks you’re cute?

 

Yeah probably. I just walked outside again and didn't see any cars. He drives a late 90s firebird with an exhaust so I think I'd hear it. Whatever. If I die I die.

 

Fun visit to the EA Headquarters in Foster City, CA tonight. They were having the NFL Madden 20 Chanpionship and I was part of the 40 person studio audience.







About 40,000 people were watching across Twitch, YouTube, and ESPN.

They shoved my friends and I way in the corner so you could barely make me out.

 

Time to dig a moat

 

Nerd

 

most of the '40 person studio audience' appear to be elementary/middle school age with possibly parents. Did you at least go to the company store?

 

wireless motion activate security cameras at back and front of house. cheap enough. problem solved.

most likely its

 

What's a good paint to respray a plastic trim piece? I got a new radio bezel for the 4R and the factory silver paint was messed up a little. Decided I want to do a matte or maybe satin black refinish on it before installing.

@BartMaster1234 since you seem to know random shit about refinishing stuff.

 

Thanks. Need to make a Home Depot run then.

This is the piece I want to paint. Depending on how that turns out, I'll do the center console too to eliminate all the silver except for the small silver bezel around the gauges.

 

Agreed. Better than the silver for sure.

 

Holyyyy sheeeeet we better not read about you in the obituaries dude.....

 

When ford owners know you’re right

 

@Speedytech7 @Empty_Lord @mechanicjon any of yall know why an old mercedes diesel wouod have liquid oil pouring out of the exhaust manifold with only the turbo center section hooked up? (To complete the turbo oil feed and drain circuit)

 

I initially estimated that restoring and setting up the LX470 will cost somewhere around $5,000 to $7,000. I don't think I was too far from wrong.

My advice is to go in low on these older 100s to keep the total outlay, after conversion, at around $10k. But once you get it restored, you know what you have.

Round 1 was last night. Round 2 will start once I finish Round 1. I usually do restorations in ("purchasing rounds") that focus on restoring a functional area.

Once I pull the intake manifold, there may be some preventative maintenance stuff that I can do to help extend the starter's life.

Use a CC that gives cash back rewards for purchases and DO NOT GO INTO DEBIT WHEN RESTORING A VEHICLE.

 

Haha Ford bad


Good thing there are no bad Toyota models either

 

You got that right

 

Who wants to pay for me a new battery and coil packs for my 4.6???

 

The 3.0 was an amazing leap forward in power and reliability
