Are you using a PM3L?

Kiddo said he wanted a green Mustang race car like mine for his birthday. They don't make a green one so I found a blue one and painted it. I'm a huge dork.

I would also think that it would have thrown a code if one bank went lean.

It's always been the passenger side I've had problems with.

Only one, and of course it's on the other side. I blew a fuel pump fuse at TWS back in April of last year I think it was. Never figured out what happened, but replaced the fuse ran it a few...

Sam came over yesterday and helped get my motor out of the car. Looks like it was a head gasket. All the cylinders on the head looked pretty bad, but #7 was the worst. Passenger side head looked...

IMO, just adding harsher punishment/more rules for contact doesn't seem like much of a solution by itself. I would think the ideal thing to do would be to educate people on what is/isn't acceptable...

Got the majority of the unneeded wires out of the engine bay yesterday. Dropped the number of fuses in the engine compartment fuse box from 15 to 8, and will likely end up dumping a couple more...

For some dumb reason I decided I needed to get rid of and clean up some of the wiring on the car. Pulled the split loom off for most of the engine compartment wires last night. Majority of the...

I hope I wasn't implying that I think shifting is slower. What I should have clarified is that, for me, shifting will sometimes slow me down. This is due to lack of confidence in my shifting...

3.27's. Even when I had the 3.73's I'd stay in 4th up to the carousal and downshift to third, then short shift back to fourth up the hill going into 9. I would stay in fourth until turn 3 and...

Thanks Michael. The weather really couldn't have been any better. Mid 60's in the morning, but got up to mid-high 80's in the afternoon. Track would get greasy about 1:00.

Anyone else have any...

So the PDS event at TWS was short on instructors this weekend so ended up going back for another run at CW. During the race weekend I noticed I used about a quart of oil over the weekend. Ended up...

Well I poured a bit of oil into that cylinder and the compression jumped about 60 PSI, so it looks like its rings. Found a stock 96 motor with ~130k miles that has a blown head gasket on Craigslist....

A leakdown test can be used to determine where you losing the compression at. Valves, cylinder, etc. At least that's my understanding.

I may take you up on that offer. I'm going to try it with one of those air guns with a rubber tip on the plug hole tonight and see how that works. Will probably be more accurate to just use an...

Will give that a shot tonight or tomorrow. Will probably try the pouring a bit of oil down the cylinder trick and see if the compression changes first. I would think if the compression goes up it's...

So I've been chasing a misfire for a while on cylinder #1. It's been throwing a P0301 (cylinder 1 misfire). I did check the compression at some point last year and it was fine. It really only...

They're still $220/set from MM. That doesn't include axle side bushings, so add another $40.

How long are most people normally getting out of the bushings/control arms running a normal 4-link setup?

If I would have noticed the bushing had pushed out of the sleeve sooner, I think my...

The bushings and arms were replaced at the beginning of 2013, so they've got about 8 weekends on them.

Been getting a noise from the rear of the car, and after taking a look noticed that the bushing on the passenger's side upper control arm had somehow pushed it's way out of the metal sleeve and the...

Checked the compression on the car tonight. Not looking good.
