Re: Need a mechanic's opinion on an OBD2 port that won't connect to a reader.
What if we tried connecting the OBD to a different vehicle?

There was a period when my ECU was having issues and my OBDLink LX wouldn't communicate. Following the repair by the ECU repair shop, I was compelled to jumper my fuel pump relay.
The ECU is operational once again, and my OBD can communicate.
Even the Shop professional grade reader failed to ...

Re: Outdated HVAC Module for 2009 F150
Of course...the dealer did as well; it's currently stuck in that limbo between being outmoded and being available on the market; I'm planning to visit a pick-and-pull salvage yard next week in the hopes of finding one.

Yeah, I certainly won't be attempting to generate more than 400 lb-ft of wheel torque.
Finding the "sweet spot"—maximizing performance without breaking the bank—is my goal as this car is mostly intended as a fun weekend driver.
The advice is helpful, though.

Re: Subject: Recommend a clutch kit for my S52 supercharged Z3
In response to your advice, I edited my previous post in the Z3 forum.
An intercooler is not a part of my system. My best effort was made... However, I was unable to remove enough material from the VFE to accommodate one (at least not with my wrenching abilities).
