This weekend me and a few friends decided to go out to the new Hard Rock casino in Hollywood, Fl. While I was leaving from the casino, i drove over a sewer cover that was sticking out of the ground outside the Seminole Hard Rock hotel near the construction areas. There where no signs, or any...
I have a long commute everyday so i am usually on the highway. However I have noticed for the past few 1000 miles i have a vibration going threw the whole driveline from about 1950-2075 rpms. When i am in 6th gear (which i am almost always) you can feel it real bad especially once i slow down...
I had an adjustable cable and quadrant and it broke a few days ago. After finishing the installation of the new cable and getting some great advice from a few memebers on the board i think i figured out why it broke. The adjustable quadrant have alot of play. If you have ever noticed when you...
On the way to work today my "super strong" adjustable cable broke. I turned the corner and i heard a loud poping noise and next thing i know the end of the cable where it hooks to the quadrant was on the floor.:bash:

I installed the wideband on Saturday and it worked prefectly. I took it for a few test runs the a/f gauge bounced around etc. While i was coming back from the drive i noticed that the a/f gauge just stopped at 14.8 I didn't think much of it but later i decided to give it some gas on third to see...
I bought a set of spring (h&r fronts and eibach backs) and installed them on sunday. The H&R's look great but i didn't like the back so i modifed them slightly (cut them) and its to low:bash:

The thing is I am going to install my springs as soon as i get a chance and i figured i would install the bushings, isolaters etc while i was at it. I found this on the rpmoutlet site and i have never heard anybody really comment on it http://www.rpmoutlet.com/03cobrahard.htm

As some of you know my tranny broke the other day but thanks to Ford a new one was sent immediately and I took advantage of the situation and bought a brand new mcelod cluth and pressure plate with the liberty 26 spline input shaft and the mcleod adjustable quadrant and cable. The clutch is...
Well from my previous post you guys remember that I took my car to the track and unfortunately had to tow it home after only three runs:bash:

I went to Moroso yesterday and ran my car for the first time. It only has 5000 miles on it and the mods can be seen on my sig which aren't to aggresive. Just the usual pulley, exhaust, intake, chip.

I went to lujan Motorsports in Miami yesterday to see where my predator tune was power wise and to check the a/f. My first run was with the predator tune and 10% less timing (Heard rumors of pinging so backed it down just in case):
Run 1 (std)
Max power 434
Max Torque 451
A/f 10.0...
What a difference, it kind of makes me wish i did it before. I used the predator pulley tune and backed of 10% timing and everything sounds great, no knocking. I am going to tray and make it to a dyno this weekend.
The only thing I wasn't to happy about is that the performance shop that...
