I changed out my Granatelli coil packs, all of them. They failed for the 4th time. Well, two failed, so they all had to go. I am done with that company. This set at least lasted for two years, unlike the first three sets from them. I'm back to Motorcraft. I'll take reliable over fancy.

Finally got to put the HIDs back in after my accident a few months ago... reused the old harness, but with new ballasts/bulbs. Found out they reused my original headlights in the accident, one of them had the hold down ring cracked... Gotta take it back apart now when I get one. On the bright side (no pun intended), reusing the headlights meant I didn't have to readjust them.
3 mod motor vehicles
2 32v
1 marauder.
Drove it to work, passed the Program Manager like he was sitting still in his white '06 Mustang. Looked like a sack of flour parked in the slow lane, I even rapped the the throttle when we went by so there would be no doubt who just handed him is ass. Probably choked on his breffas buscuit, lol.

See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.
IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.
