Bit of a thread bump but yea, these events have been pretty good for me. More so at my previous job when I had the day off during the week. And my current boss can't be bothered to let me do a half day. Regardless, took a day off this week to go to an NJMP event. It's my local track and I've...
Alright, I think she is as good to go as ever. Going to list it up in various places and push to sell.
Fresh NJ Inspection Sticker good til 4/21. Passed legit and did not pay for it.
Rear defroster is repaired
Nice light detailing pass on the interior over the weekend. All clean.
Nothing...
Car still available.
Oil Temp gauge is fixed.
Fresh oil change. About 11 quarts of Castrol Syntec 5w-30. (I've sent the oil out to Blackstone Labs since the engine was rebuilt and have the paperwork for that. Came up good.) I used Amsoil's Dominator oil during track season.
Forgot to mention...
>>> SOLD <<<
2003 Mach 1 in Black. Located in 08520, New Jersey. Just rolled over 60,000 miles on the chassis.
Asking $14,000 OBO
I've had the car for about 8 years and only put 15k miles on it. I used it for some HPDE type road course events down at NJMP a handful of times over the last few...
Eh thought I'd post this as it's interesting to me. And certain accents make everything better.
Summary: Mechanic/teacher tries to kill engine by dropping metal bits down the intake (Part 1) and then disassembles it to see the destruction and find the point of failure. (Part 2)
Spoiler...
I just did another SCCA Track Night on the 12th. It was a bit more of a shit show than usual. Otherwise, because of the simplicity and cost of the events, I'm not sure I'd be getting off my lazy butt to get out there.
Nothing particularly exciting happened for me during my runs, it was just...
Please tell me there is a source video for it. That looks awesome/dumb. Not one of these corny fairy tale truck commercials.. that there is real truck work.
I want to know if the truck still worked.
Been using Comcrap here for TV for 30 ish years? And internet for almost 20?
At the end it was supposed to be 200 down/12 up or something at $80 a month. Then I recently tried to swap to my own Arris modem, turned in the Comcast unit, they seemed to F everything up because that is what always...
I bought this (<Link) 12" one off Amazon after a recommendation from someone at work. I've never used a foam mattress before and I had been sleeping on the same busted ancient mattress and box spring for 20 years.
I'm using it on the floor with no box spring and I'm pretty happy with it? It's...
I can't say it's made any real difference for me. But I don't go out much except for casual drives.
My GF in high school liked my cars, but I met her before I had any. A lady at work liked my Nissan. She knew a thing or two about it, and we'd flirt a little around work I think. But she was...
Ah thanks for the reply.
Yea as a follow up, everything seems to be working correctly now. For whatever reason. I'm not 100% sure what fixed the code issue, but they haven't come back since. All I did was make sure they were plugged in correctly, removed that extra extension, and reset the ECU...
Worked on the car all day doing various things. Prepping for first track day of the season a week and a half away.
Hooked up the O2 sensors correctly, according to the Alldata information. I can now confirm that both upstream connectors are Green! The part that was messing me up was that there...
First: Yes I do have long tubes :) And I'm pretty sure the upstream O2 sensors were replaced because they look clean and new.. so probably when I got the car years ago and headers were installed. I can't remember.
Second: In terms of the oil leaks, I installed a remote oil filter and oil cooler...
Still looking into it. Swapped the plugs for the two upstream O2 sensors and filled the tank with fresh gas Thursday night. Can anyone tell me if the passenger or driver side O2 sensor uses the green connector on the harness? One is black and one is green (the one I have to use the extension...
Update: I quickly messed with it some more just before the rain hit.
The problem appears to be intermittent no fuel on the driver's side?
Had the car running, started pulling ignition coils one at a time seeing if it was a specific dead cylinder. When the car was running rough, pulling any of...
It's a 2003 Mach 1 but this shouldn't be something specific to that. I want to summarize this the best I can to keep it short and sweet. I have a more specific odd situation and, unfortunately, the weather is BS so I can't go mess with this myself. I thought I'd ask and maybe save some time...
Weird coincidence. I just watched this episode a couple nights ago.
I recently started watching TNG for the first time due to a lady at work (;)). She suggested a bunch of episodes, I binged watched those, and then have just been picking random ones here and there. I often pick episodes where...
Okay, quick run down since I'm hastily typing this up.
'03 Mach, I swapped in a used Cobra T-56 earlier this year (I think? I can't even remember)
It's been pretty okay for months now. I've taken the car to 4-5 track days now with no issues. Semi-regular daily driving as well. The car sat for...
Not sure there is much general traffic through this section but whatever. Maybe the seller is on this forum.
I just picked up a set of 2000 Cobra R wheels for use on track with their own set of tires, thus I am not too concerned with appearance.
All four are curb rash'd to hell on both the...
I'm guessing he's mocking the typical "'murica!" people..
At least that is what I hope. Otherwise he is just one of those people and its funny in a different way. I want to see him review some other stuff.
Edit: Haha the "A2 Stroke Salute to Mexifornian Tree Huggers" video had a good intro
