Welcome! Sure glad you joined.
 So, where in The Netherlands are you? I ask for several reasons. First, we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and we can add you if we had a town. And you'll see that we have other members there as well. And, I've spent time there, both on holiday as well as on business. Love the country and the people.  Nice truck! Hope you'll start a thread in the main section and tell us all about it.

Well thank you sir, super to be One of the Members
 Because of my job I can only tell you the nearest City from where I live. And that will be Breda, the Southern of The Netherlands. Very curious where all the members are from. Would be great to meet some of you guys in Holland, during a holiday or a business trip. And who know when I'll be overseas in The US  Promise when I got my truck sitting on the driveway I'll let you guys know

Yes, welcome!
You found yourself one really nice truck The color scheme, pinstripes, and accessories all go really well together. The exhaust really fits and looks great as well.

You are now on the map: Bullnose Forum/Member's Map.
You'll see that Andre is in Amsterdam. Or, maybe I should say his Bronco is because at present he's in Spain, but will be back this Spring. You can see some of his Bronco here and here. It would be good to meet people, and once this virus has run its course I'll be having the show here in Skiatook, OK. Perhaps this year? If so it will be on the Saturday of the Labor Day holiday, which will be Sept 4th. But that's not a given depending an what happens with the virus.

Thank you very much!
I really like the two-tone color scheme.
I think the roof/role bar will look awesome when it's mounted on. One of the things the dealer is going to fix.
The exhaust looks nice, sounds oke. BUT, because of all the BU^%*&^$#*%#@IT regulations overhere it kinda 'sucks'. I like the deep V8 gurgling sound, so that's going to be a little project.
Maybe you or some of the members will give me some advice about HOW TO or which exhaust in combination with oem headers will fit or sounds the best.

I've never touched the exhaust on my 400 (well, beyond adding some more baling wire to it
 ) but there's been some 351 exhaust discussions here so if you want to start a thread with what you are looking for (both personal and regulatory) no doubt you'll get some good suggestions.

Yes, welcome!
When you open a new topic about your exhaust perhaps you can post whatever regulations are a concern? Is it just a decibel limit, or is it that you must have all components with EU or TUV compliance numbers stamped into them? I know Andre has custom exhaust on his Bronco.

Thank you very much Rembrant!
Which place(s) did you visit in The Netherlands? At least you could have had a good impression of Europe.
But 48H is waaaaaay too short to really see The Netherlands, or Holland as we say.
I really like your truck, rough stance, awesome color and great sound!!! Did you completely rebuild this truck yourself, or bought it this way?
I'll keep in mind your exhaust/ manifold set-up

There's no real beef.
Internet Brands is a business model. Therefore it sells members and puts advertising on site. But everything you post, every image becomes their property. Gary decided to take his ball and go home. An amazing amount of documentation is here and the S:N is much better.

This post was updated on .
Along these lines, I recently got pointed to my thread on taurusclub.com, the one where I repainted HALF of the gray interior with SEM ColorCoat paint. I think I became a paid member over there, although I never paid the photobucket ransom and so half the pictures don't work anymore. But that's OK, the other half still work, and that's all I need... point being, if/when it comes time to sell all that Taurus SHO stuff *everything* is documented as to what I did and how I did it. THAT is the cool part, that everything is documented (with pictures  to PROVE ("show me," as the judge would say) exactly what I did and *how* I did it.
That car (well, the interior) has remained largely unchanged since it blew up at the racetrack (looks like that was in 2012!!!), and I can point people to it (the thread) if/when it becomes time to sell all those things (the Taurii SHOs) hopefully as one lump sum. But we'll see what happens, I guess.... https://www.taurusclub.com/threads/i-agree-with-the-book-this-is-best-done-with-two-people.171919/#post-1703156 P.S. Whatever happened to that Founding Fathers thing? I see a place for admin stuff but I don't think I've seen that Founding fathers place recently, is it still here? |

Glad you've found us!
The quick way to distinguish a Mazda M5R2 from a Zf is that the Zf has diagonal webbing on the outside of the case. The Zf is a heavy-duty, but also clunkier, gearbox. It was found behind 351's in F-250's. While the Mazda was common to both Windsors and the inline 300 (which shares the bell housing bolt pattern.
