Too many toys and unfortunately this one has to go.  Up for auction is my 1999 Ford F150 Lightning. I purchased this truck in 2009 from a gentleman in Illinios.  The truck had about 85000 miles when I bought it and wasn't driven much and cosmetically was in great condition.  Upon purchasing the truck I went to have it tuned and while inspecting the spark plugs, one was found to be stripped... common problem with the 99-00 trucks... not enough threads!!!!  To repair the heads was going to involve removing the cab, a thus the build began.  The heads were rebuilt and all 8 plug holes were heli-coiled and welded from the inside... The RIGHT way!!!   While the heads were off I decided to have them fully ported, as well as all new valves and seals.  It was no use putting an awesome set of heads on a stock block so that was next on the list.  Block was rebuilt with a forged steel crank, Oliver rods and Diamond pistons.  Basically bulletproof shortblock to 1000hp.  Long block was assembled with all ARP hardware and ARP head studs.  While inside we decided to replace the old 99-00 style 9 row intercooler with the more efficient and non-leak prone 01 up 10 row version, along with the 01 up mid-plate.  The supercharger was off and why not port it too.  It was sent to Stiegmeier and was stage 4 ported.  Upon return the silencer holes were filled and we were ready for boost.  A 6 pound lower and 2.8 inch upper was installed and on the dyno we saw right at 15 PSI.  With the current tune it is making right at 415 hp and is asking for more fuel.  The injectors are at 100% duty cycle and will only need bigger injectors to hit the 450hp mark.  The engine build was all done by Strictly Performance in Houston, Texas as well as the tuning.  Originally the truck was tuned on a Diablosport Chipmaster Revolution Chip, but we had issues with the chip coming loose from the ECM.  We took out the chip and a new ECM was installed and re-tuned with a Diablosport Predator handheld tuner` (Included in sale)...  no more loose chips and a lot dang easier to tune.  Because a new ECM was installed I had to have the PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) turned off.  This will need to be reprogrammed to the keys but is currently turned off in the tune... just never got around to it and its always in the garage and locked up anyway.  Upon completion of the sale I can have the PATS reprogrammed for an additional $150.00 or you can take it to any performance shop or Ford dealership and have it done.  As far as the rest of the truck...

It has all new brakes and rotors, rebuilt rearend, TA rear end girdle, JLP long bars, Edelbrock shocks, Hotchkiss rear leaf springs, new OEM soft Tonneau cover (Good luck finding another one of these), new OEM steering wheel (Original was starting to wear), LFP single blade throttle body, C&L upper plenum, 1/2 inch phenolic spacer, polished C&L inlet elbow, K&N filter, new IAC valve, shorty antenna, LFP dual 90mm idlers with billet bracket, recent battery, new intercooler pump, new energy suspension sway bar end links, new idler arm, new pitman arm, driveshaft safety loop, new headlight, tailights, foglights, Pioneer AVIC X930BT with nav, bluetooth and all the goodies, Rockford Fosgate amp, 2 10 inch Rockford subs in a custom box from BestBuy, Rockford mids in doors and B-pillars, Entire truck was Dynomatted inside, Expedition white side mirror covers, chrome 01-02 wheels (New Nitto 555 out back)  Fronts are ready to be replaced soon, 01 up LED third brake light, 01 and up upper and lower grills, Autometer Ultralite volt and boost gauge in A-Pillar Pod, Electric fan from a 2004 Mustang GT, new Ford OEM coilpacks, rear sliding window (Tinted) billet door lock knobs, billet tilt lever, new Ford OEM column shift with over drive button (Was looking kinda dingy), new OEM Ford floor mats, recharged ICE cold AC (No leaks), cruise, tilt, power windows, New door lock actuators, BBK shorty headers, custom mid pipe (No cats), Magnaflow catback, HID headlights...  the list goes on...

Issues...  Leaks oil about the size of a quarter when parked for a week or so (Haven't had much time to address but it looks to be from the oil pan drain plug).  As stated previously will need new front tires in the next 5-10k miles, felt strip on rear slider is missing and has been since I purchased it...  doesn't leak water, just don't have one nor bothered to get one, the PATS issue (Which again I can handle for an additional $150.00 after sale, One keyfob remote needs a battery (Comes with 2 sets of keys, no spare tire (Never had one), no jack (Never had one), no windshield washer bottle (I never let it get that dirty or drive it much)  can be bought online for 30 bucks... wiring harness still there, no wires cut (I think the original owner had a meth injection tank and took it out), that's about it.

All in all a great truck, a fast truck, a dependable truck, and a very well looked after truck.  You will not be disappointed and my feedback rating should speak to that as well.  Truck has a clear Texas title.  $1000.00 non refundable deposit due within 72 hours of auction ending.  Final payment must be Certified check or wire transfer that must clear a bank prior to taking receipt of truck.  Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping costs and or arrangements.   I will be available to meet a truck driver or assist in any logistics therein.  Truck is currently registered and inspected in Texas but tags and stickers will be removed prior to shipment.  Miles may change between now and end of auction but will not exceed 800 miles of current odometer reading.  As with any used vehicle there is no warranty expressed or implied. 

Thanks for taking the time to view this auction... Good luck and happy bidding.

Cosworth double-feature is XCar's a drool-worthy look back

Wed, Jun 11 2014

While American fans of Ford performance cars in the '80s and early '90s were loving the 5.0 Mustang, Taurus SHO and, for those who wanted to be a little different, the Merkur XR4Ti, British fans of the Blue Oval were getting their own unique take on speed. The Sierra RS Cosworth (which was similar but not identical to the aforementioned Merkur) and later Escort RS Cosworth were the stuff of dreams with huge wings, hood vents and big power for their time and class. XCar Films aims to find out whether it is little more than nostalgia that makes these classics famous or it really is their legitimate performance. Thanks to its Formula One and racing success, Cosworth was already a well-established performance name in the UK by the time it began selling tuned engines to Ford for the Sierra and Escort. The Sierra RS Cosworth hit the scene in 1986 with a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 204 horsepower and rear-wheel drive. Its huge wing at the back signaled it immediately as something special, and it proved to be a performance powerhouse on and off the track. When it was retired, Ford replaced it with the Escort RS Cosworth that used an upgraded version of the same engine with 217 hp, all-wheel drive and an even bigger rear wing to net yet more racing victories. XCar really gets into the spirit of the time, opening the video with the lo-fi grain of '80s and '90s TV, but to find out whether the Cossies stand up to modern scrutiny, you have to watch the video below. Stay tuned until the end to enjoy them at their best with some vintage motorsports footage. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Weekly Recap: Jaguar takes a leap with price cut, new strategy

Sat, Sep 5 2015

Jaguar was one of the famous automotive props and plotlines in the now-iconic drama Mad Men. There's a scene where the show's protagonist, Don Draper, deftly undercuts an influential Jaguar dealer by indicating that get-me-in-the-door local radio spots would be an effective way to sell cars like the slinky E-Type. The British executives think this is folly – Draper knows they will – and his advertising strategy wins out over the dealer's approach to move the metal. Jaguar's not doing that, but half a century later in the real world the company is launching plans to make its cars more attainable to new and younger customers like Millenials. These aren't coupons, but this is a leap for Jaguar, which has long banked on sexy styling and its rich motorsports history to overshadow its past mechanical flaws. Put simply, Jaguar is addressing the reasons why people, especially the younger set, don't buy its cars. The 2017 XE will start at $35,895 when it launches next spring – which makes it an attractive buy for a successful, relatively young person. When it's time to move up, the redesigned XF will be more attainable, coming in at $52,895, which is $5,275 less than the 2015 model. The flagship XJ sedan and the enthusiast-oriented F-Type sports car will also get thousands of dollars worth of added standard features, and Jag is actively pitching them as a better value than their competitors. "The Jaguar brand is on the eve of a major transformation that will see it dramatically increase its presence in the United States luxury marketplace with an expanded lineup, pricing focused on the core of the luxury market, and an all-new ownership package with best-in-class coverage," Joe Eberhardt, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover North America, said in a statement. The brand's quality and reliability dings have also lurked in the back of buyers' minds for decades, though that's an outdated notion. Jaguar placed third in J.D. Power's Initial Quality Study in June and was the top-ranked luxury brand in J.D. Power's Customer Service Index in March. Not content, the company is rolling out an enhanced program called Jaguar EliteCare that launches on 2016 models. It offers a five-year, 60,000-mile limited warranty, the longest among its competitors, with free scheduled maintenance during that period. The plan also covers roadside assistance and connectivity features.

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US. Scroll down below for all the details from Consumer Reports, if you're so inclined.
