  1. Link?
  2. There were some year to year differences in design. Id also clarify if that matters to you
  3. Help others help you if you really want results and solutions. Tell people where you're located, post an example of your nose cone as there were slightly different designs through the years, possibly list your budget for such an item including shipping as that would be considerable. Why reach out on email and not here?

  10. Thank you for first hand experienced feedback. So there's regulatory control and cost on back of the house side of things which is expected to some degree. I will stand by my point that at the very least the front end seems capitalistic in having random store fronts selling medical services that are privately owned. Coming as somebody from a "communist" country where back in the day you'd never see that. Ironically they now have private capitalistic alternatives to government medicine coming up as well where you can pay to see doctors you want if you dont want to deal with big hospital or wait times. Not quite sure what their "store front" looks like for the specialists but it is unlikely to be in a strip mall next to Dunkin Donuts and a dollar store as an Urgent Care.
  11. Not quite sure I'd agree with that remark but I'd love to hear your reasoning. Most hospitals, clinics, and insurance companies are privately owned. Drug prices are set mostly by market forces. Medicare, Medicaid and VA are only true full force government involvement. The fact that Urgent Cares are in random offices and Dentists are in random houses still throws me for a loop 25+ years later since I came here. As far as Im concerned, as I grew up it was always : medical needs = big hospital and thats it. Random little homes and strip malls providing healthcare is the strangest thing on the planet and is most certainly capitalistic.
  12. As a foreigner, it never ceases to amaze me how stupidly complicated, cumbersome and overpriced American healthcare system is when there are clearly better alternatives in existence. "but we dont have to wait for specialists" argument used to make sense until I now have to wait 3 to 6 months for every specialist appointment I go to anyway. Waiting 3 to 6 hours in ER is just okay for people?? This is acceptable?? And we pay for this with our own money? Isn't capitalism supposed to sort this sort of thing out. If nobody is happy with service providers new and better services will fill that gap and steal all the customers? Where's this new and better service? I'm sorry but being bankrupted by medical bill shouldn't be an acceptable norm in a first world country/leader.
  13. Likely heat soak of sorts. Could be fuel pump or relay. Could be filter. Is fuel pump loud when you first turn it on when cold. Does it still prime with same sound when hot but fails to start? Crank and Cam sensors tend to cause start failure once hot and problematic. Unlikely but could be a pretty easy cheap fix. Do the basic test if all fails and find out what you're not getting for your mix. Fuel or Spark or both?
  14. I would contact the dealers on the forum. They would know best. Time Machines in NY and Rocky Mountain in Co if I recall
  15. No spark or fuel certainly means something is telling ECU not to proceed with start as conditions aren't met. A few main culprits are cam signal, crank signal or safety shut offs. Hard to troubleshoot a motor that never ran as we don't have a solid base to start with. Could be one issue, could be several daisy chained together.
  16. Swapping injectors around would isolate it to either being an injector or ECU/electrical not sending the signal to fire. Id proceed with a swap. You can also try to hear it firing with a stephoscope if that's easier or available.
  17. Stock cams? Internet gives this info Cold valve clearance: 0.012" in / 0.014" ex Ignition: 8–10° static, ~34° total
  18. See below. Just took pics of my car
  19. ... I believe the issue is misunderstanding Those spacers go on top of shock tower not steering rack
  20. Please provide pictures
  21. I'm aware. It's still going to be cheaper than buying new. Those also need shipping and taxes and tariffs.
  22. Not mine but debated on it. Don't see me using one anytime soon though https://ebay.us/m/rw5A2P
  23. Because in a worst case scenario the car now has some arbitrary value that some adjuster is going to come up with who doesn't have a dog in the fight and isn't typically on your side. It's an obscure car without a KBB value and without even equal comps if you really get into nuance of year differences, models, engines, limited runs, special seats. In my case it's a Zetec with a sequential transmission which has high real world cost to re-create but no direct comps and certainly not something adjuster will care for. It's just simpler for me to name a price that I know it will take me to be whole again instead of bickering with an agency over why I think they need to pay me what I think it's worth and not their offer. My price would include labor to do things I'd need changed and shipping it as I wouldn't find one local etc. I really wonder what the buy back value of a totalled 7 would be.
  24. I have state farm and my only issue is that it's not an agreed value policy. Since you want liability looks like that doesn't matter to you either way.
