Fernando!
hope you are doing good over there man!

as soon as you get back man, and you are here in good ol MA, we gotta hang out!

the car has changed a lot since the first time you saw it!
 
Dayum Ryan,

I haven't checked you sig in a while! You have been busy! I am glad you got those correct seats w/side airbags.

I have decided not to use my pro-am seats in my new trep. Just the overall condition wasn't as nice as my 01 ES was(just turned 16,000).

I am going to get some M side mirrors w/auto dim and then use the memory module in my trep.

You need to get yourself a new leather wrapped steering wheel, you will be very happy! :biggrin:

Anyways car is looking awesome man!! :biggrin: And oh yeah get a 1st gen for you college car.

Very true!! I now have 2 cars to mod, so I do understand!

As for the puller they cost about $45 and you should be able to rent one for the day!
 
You should look around for companies that make leather steering wheel covers... I can't remember if any are made for LH's, but I believe Katzkin makes leather wheel covers for various wheel codes that you sew on yourself with a needle and thread. Lemme see if I can dig it up... I was thinking about doing it to my own car.


Hmm, the company is Wheelskins, not katzkins, but they appear to have a well-put-together product anyways. They have a custom wheelskin chart but it isn't coming up for me, so they have another chart there where you measure the diameter of your steering wheel, as well at the circumference of the wheel grip at its widest point... which is any point on LH's IIRC (it's at 10 and 2 for me, lol).

Here's the link to it on PFYC.com. They also have wheelskins for 300's, Magnums, and Chargers, but I don't know if LX wheels have the same dimensions as LH wheels.

see now what my dad doesnt know is that I will almost definitely mod the Taurus... but theres NOTHING that you can do to a Taurus, except for minor cosmetic stuff
either way, I wont have any money... i'll be in college!

@padre: I think im just gonna stick to the idea knash gave me, which is rent one from autozone before we head to the yard, grab a decent leather wrapped wheel, bring it back, install the wheel into my car, and then bring the puller back to autozone...
 
Hey Ryan! Best advice I can give you is drive your car and enjoy it. Drive it daily. It is meant to be driven. Put the Jellybean Easter egg Taurus dollars and its insurance and maintenance dollars into a savings account and have it there for when you want another mod for your Intrepid, or you need it for something else! :D

yeah brad I'm toying with the idea... I dunno yet what I'm going to do, but I am a bit excited to get another car to mod... yes, there are mods for Tauruses...

so, i know there are many of you who are fans of my photography...
well, on sunday I took some time and took 181 pictures of the ES
I hosted them all on photobucket...
Some did not come out quite as well as I had wished, whether it be the particular lighting in the shot or simply me moving the damn camera as I snapped the picture

at any rate, if you are interested, the url is:

im curious whats that bar in your trunk? and whats its purpose... btw nice ass car.. i wish i had all black.
 
Discussion starter · #272 ·
thanks man... btw, i love your sig, very unique!!
the bar in my trunk is the 300M Special rear swaybar, a nice, cheap suspension upgrade
its only a $30 upgrade, which you can put on yourself, do a search on the forum, its in the B/S/T section

its totally worth it!

so on friday Scott and Bobby came down to my house and helped me get the heat in the 300M leather hooked up...

not only that, I now have Autostick!!!!
As those who went to Harry's U-Pull It in PA at Carlisle might remember, I picked up a 2002 Autostick mechanism out of a 300M, as well as a 99 ES cluster...
I had delayed the installation because the 99 cluster is not compatible with the side airbags I have in my car (the airbag light gets turned on), but when Bobby mentioned putting it in, I decided: why the hell not??

Now I just need to find a 2001/2002 ES or R/T cluster to replace mine

Cool dude, although I don't know if the heat is that big of a deal the way this winter is. I was working on my car in a t-shirt today. WTF?? If you have an extra cluster when you're all done let me know.

well, my airbag light is now off, scored a 2001 R/T cluster off Ebay and it turned the airbag light off

anybody want a 2002 ES non A/S cluster or a 99 ES A/S cluster??
 
He needs at least a sunroof to pull that off lol. He said before that his ES is really just an SE with foglights and a 3.5L
