    3D printed parts

    Now that's a heck of a good justification! You hear the sweet siren song of..... "Oh dear... the frig is broken AGAIN.... When will this FINALLY be fixed?! " :finger::finger::finger::finger:

    3D printed parts

    JMS, shoot me a PM - we need to collaborate a bit methinks. I was working on an improved blanking plate for the Sedan Interceptor center console - for the SI Ford used a plate made out of thick steel! It needs to be plastic for sure. I was also going to incorporate three 52mm holes in the top...

    Space Coast & Orlando area SHO's

    Hey y'all, just for discussion sake we have a number of Ford's Garage restaurants now in the CFL area. Davenport, Oviedo, Daytona Beach, and a new one going in 5 miles from me in Viera. Does anyone know if these guys are car meet friendly and would they discount for a nice group of SHO owners...

    Ace Cafe in Orlando closed!

    Don't know how many here had been to the Ace Cafe in Orlando on Livingston St. (open since 2017), but word is out as of yesterday the restaurant is now closed. Gone. Lot of car meets hubbed off this restaurant, and it will be missed by many. If I remember correctly it was the only one in the...

    SHO police interceptor?

    Makes two of us yaycandy. We've never laid eyes on each other but I have over 30 years experience working in government (not all of my time was on the enforcement side). I've drafted proposed state laws (which were subsequently enacted) and provided staff input on numerous other proposed county...

    SHO police interceptor?

    Well..... unfortunately official-type folks that control guns & whether you walk around in public or not would respectfully disagree with that opinion. Here's a few brief examples...

    Gen.4 Police Interceptor all-black window trim?

    Yep, the SI didn't get the rear deck spoiler either. Yes, it has chrome trim.... Eric

    Aftermarket Turbo?

    Very well. The turbo apparently was the leak issue, it was turning fine but had horizontal shaft play. The new turbo with the existing lines is doing just fine, looked just like a new OEM turbo after reconditioning at Rotomaster. The PTU is also fine, I had the service done on it earlier in the...

    SHO police interceptor?

    Yep, the two automatic giveaways it's not an authentic SI when people do the re-badging.... 1) Outer taillights - authentic SI is all red instead of the clear centers. AND.... 2) No keyhole in the trunk, this was specific to the SI. And.... as an extra 3) no plain black side vents in front of...

    Ford Performance shop that will work on SHO's!

    Just did my PTU maintenance up at Fast Performance earlier in the week, $135 out the door for the PTU service. Had a 9 AM appointment, I showed up on time and they were ready & waiting for me. The fluid exchange took about an hour with the PP PTU, drained through the drain plug, filled through...

    Space Coast & Orlando area SHO's

    Welcome & thanks for the reply. Let's see if we get more interest, if we can get a few more SHO's we could do something small to start with as a standalone at a restaurant or something similar. That formula worked really well for years with the car groups I've previously both been at and...

    Space Coast & Orlando area SHO's

    OK, I'm CPR'ing this thread since it's getting warmer out & we're now on DST so it gets dark later. We still need a Taurus & SHO meet for Central Florida, probably in the Orlando area to accommodate anyone driving from either coast to equal out the distance. So.....is there any interest out...

    Ford Performance shop that will work on SHO's!

    OK folks, this is a follow-up on Fast Performance in Ormond Beach, FL. My car now has a brand new reman passenger-side turbo installed. I've been driving 43 years now (yeah, I know I'm dating myself here) and I have never, ever met a more through, conscientious Ford technician than Nick. He's...

    Ford Performance shop that will work on SHO's!

    The initial visit went well, their labor rate is $120/hr and they charged 1 hour for diag. This is a really heavy performance shop, when I got there I counted probably 10 Mustangs between the two bays and the parking lot. They were preparing to install a PARACHUTE on a tricked-out Caddy CTS-V...

    Aftermarket Turbo?

    I feel your pain. My 2013 Sedan Interceptor (SHO-Lite) has been a royal PITA as far as deferred (from the previous owner) & necessary maintenance since I've had the car. To straighten the car out & make it reliable plus do a few upgrades like the stock SHO center console, I'm in over $10K...
