Apparently someone showed up for work in the morning and found all their vans and other vehicles on blocks, with the catalytic converters cut out. They called us for a quote for replacement parts for their seven Ford Transit vans: cats, O2 sensors, other stuff, etc. Comes out to about $3k per van, with their wholesale discount. I hope they have good insurance. I've delivered parts to their place before, it's basically an unsecured lot. I didn't notice any sort of security cameras or anything. Not a smart idea to keep a whole fleet of Ford, Mercedes and other kinds of vans and busses in an unsecured location like that lol <cite>treewojima posted [p:944981068] in One of my ...

Depending on who you sell it to, legally or illegally, I'd say up to a couple hundred per cat Were_Wyrm posted... CE and victim blaming, name a more iconic duo I genuinely feel bad for them, but I'm wondering why they didn't think to implement stricter security measures. Their property is literally an ungated lot with some maintenance garages and an administrative building. At some point common sense should kick in. BignutzisBack posted...

treewojima 09/23/20 12:14:17 PM #10:	Even if you take the sociopathic stance, don't give a shit about the emissions and run straight pipes without cats, you still need to do something to moderate your air/fuel mixture, otherwise you'll just be in open loop mode and the engine will run rich the whole time, killing your gas mileage and performance. <cite>treewojima posted [p:944984686] in One of my ...
