    Searching for parts

    So @Gunnar Schroder, are you clear on what FirmFeel is suggesting to you? Like @Mikes5thAve explained, the aftermarket options typically require you to remove the ISO setup and replace that with a B-body style configuration. The 'ISO-Delete Kit' has the TOP plate (the square with 5 holes)...

    Does Borgeson offer a box for Fifth Avenues?

    So there are a few points here that are very interesting to me: 1) M/E Wagner PCV - I have had this for a few years now and what a huge tuning aid this was...hopefully yours has been a great experience as well, how do you set yours up? 2) Spectra Premium gas tank w/ in-tank electric pump - oh...

    Does Borgeson offer a box for Fifth Avenues?

    I started in a somewhat spoiled of a point, that being: a fairly tight OEM power steering box (that was actually a FirmFeel unit), barely any sloop in the 12-o'clock position, the previously mentioned power steering pump pressure drop trick and basically all NEW components all around (part of...

    Does Borgeson offer a box for Fifth Avenues?

    My poor excuse for why it has remained that clean is the simple fact that I just don't get to drive it all that much during the rather brief cruising weather we get here. The Coupe is not a fire & forget ride anymore, not to say at all that it requires a certificate of some sorts to drive it...

    Does Borgeson offer a box for Fifth Avenues?

    Well, I was spoiled by the fact that I had the old engine pulled out and was installing my new W2 408 stroker build...so the engine bay was completely empty: no headers, no plumbing in the way, etc. So for what it's worth I've attached a few photos of what I started off with (header-driver.jpg)...

    Flight & rental is booked, trip this November

    Late to the party you guys - sorry, Brazil business trip, left last Saturday, came back this morning, multiple cancellations and a missed flight - but @69- hopefully that's far removed from your future experience...at least I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! Alright...so yeah, local stuff...

    Does Borgeson offer a box for Fifth Avenues?

    I have the setup that @Duke5A referenced above. It was a bit of a peculiar installation in my case b/c I decided to keep my power steering pump with the factory O-ring setup (came to find out in the process that there were multiple options out there), but to Mark's earlier point, if you are...

    Too expensive, or "that's the going rate these days"???

    This here is a great point!! Look, in terms of that "sucker for punishment" perspective, the approach to making car changes that I have taken has always been about improving the factory setups, as opposed to flat-out replacing with a different technology. Maybe that last part "different...

    Too expensive, or "that's the going rate these days"???

    Folks, I was able to find a pair of the FirmFeel rear spring mounts along with the shackles. These are in a somewhat rough shape (see attached pic), but sound enough that a quick trip to the sand blasting cabinet will bring them right back. The seller is asking $200 CAD, so at the current...

    Leaking windshield

    If you can not source the butyl stuff in a tube you could try to find actual butyl tape, which is literally a roll of specific diameter butyl material. This is how glass used to be sealed, not sure what model year (for our cars) that changed, but when I was redoing my coupe I had the choice of...

    I got fired today.

    Alright, let's sort through some things here! 1st - you, your 'second-half', and the soon to be here bundle of joy are your TOP priorities!!! (and you will do great at these so long as you keep that in mind) 2nd - the funding campaign should be about getting you a Labour Lawyer so that you can...

    Fall is in the air.

    Mark! Yeah, I managed to convince them to do so for ONE winter...and holy crap, it literally took some C-suite type to OK that because "...we normally never do this, cars have to be fully insured...", blah blah...never mind that the engine was completely OUT of the car...so freaking rigid!

    Fall is in the air.

    Mike! Keep me in the loop on your findings please, and here is why I say this: 1980 Diplomat Coupe, classified as 'Price $25,000 - Modified', so that means I have a guaranteed $25K payout if the vehicle becomes a write-off. 1) Liability Bodily Injury - $1M, $42 premium Property Damage - $1M...

    Good reminder...alas, I connected with Grundy way back when (before Hagerty)...at that time they were not doing any business in Canada, unfortunately that stayed the same...still US-only!

    408 W2 Stroker Build

    Duke5A! Yeah, I totally agree, but man I tell ya: 1) 16" air filter, drop base with 1.6" of space above the TQ vent tubes 2) secondaries open for sure, no way my impromptu run could got "12.anything" ET on the measly 1-3/8" primaries alone 3) my AFR is reading crazy rich 11.5 at WOT, so I...

    408 W2 Stroker Build

    Let's see, how do I explain this w/o feeling like a tool??? LOL So the leaking pump "thingie"...took the pump out, pulled it apart thinking that maybe the pump halves do not have the sealing surfaces machined flat (or enough so) that when you re-assemble them and all you have is that rubber...

    Last Site Upgrade - it sucks!

    Admin Man! Thanks for the response. Fair enough, of course the site is yours, but for what it's worth: tell me please which of the new features were necessary to close out/address gaps that the "new people" were complaining about? Here is the thing (I'm a 30 year veteran of ERP...

    Last Site Upgrade - it sucks!

    Yeah, 64-bit hardware, but that's not the problem. OS/2 is a 32-bit OS, there are some extensions to enable the use of PAE for things like RAMDISK, etc...but the process address space is 32-bit with specific OS/2 limitations. Our ancient Firefox is simply not capable of supporting the pages...

    Oh lookie here, my ANGRY FACE response to Duke5A worked!!! (so I guess some functionality is back??? LOL)

    Last Site Upgrade - it sucks!

    LOL...well, not quite that bad! So this is more of a web browser issue actually, not OS, but for the record I am running IBM's OS/2 4.52 SMP (which basically means it is the last release which ended support ohhh, some 10-15 yrs. ago I think???). The browser in question is Firefox 45.9.2, which...

    Last Site Upgrade - it sucks!

    I am probably very much the ONLY one to be impacted by this...but it seems we converted the back end to show SVG icons/images/page framework(s) and seeing as I'm using a fairly old OS, well, that's completely made the site unusable. ...yup, as in: I can't even REPLY/POST, which is a do or die...

    Fall is in the air.

    LOL...yeah, this year's season kind of sucks for actual "road time" for me as well! My Hagerty insurance just got renewed, and it only gets more and more expensive each year for what ends up being a smaller and smaller KMs I drive my Coupe each season. This year I partly attribute that to what...
