    I don't believe so, when the pump kicks in you can see the coolant running through the system if I pop the cap of the reservoir off and it's not a gentle stream, it has a fair bit of turbulence to it.

    JimmySideCar used to bring his Mystichrome Cobra out to the SVT events at MSR Houston many years ago, good bloke but I don't think he's around any more :(. It's just so strange that I can't even get a single hot lap out of the car, I know it's hot here in Houston but come on. The car has an...

    No, mate, the car's still acting up; I concur with pressure in the system and I truly thought the O ring replacement would fix the issue, I was pretty disappointed when it didn't. I'm just throwing money at the car at this point, as much as I love the car I think it's time to just move on.

    What did you do for your Terminator today?

    New bumper inserts, not sure I have the right colour car to pull them off.

    Cannot reproduce on the street. Prior to replacing the O-rings If I did some high speed pulls back to back on the freeway it would leak but not as bad as it does on track. Now it does nothing.

    Yes, the first session of my first track day back in April it failed and the car would go in to limp mode under throttle. Replaced it that day and it is still working, it was running by itself after each session this past weekend.

    Well, this is how my weekend, sorry I mean Saturday morning, went: It was hot down in Angleton this weekend, it was in the 90s and I could barely even get a full lap out of the car without the coolant puking on the windshield. The coolant tank was extremely hot, couldn't even touch it, and...

    Before: After: A good clean and new O-rings. I haven't had chance to put her back on track yet (weekend after next is her next outing) but after some hard runs up and down the freeway in Mexico she was dry as a bone and seems to also be running a little better. Also replaced all of the...

    When I actually looked at the tank again I realized how dumb my question was ;). Thanks for being gentle with me =). Tank wasn't overfilled, waiting on O rings to be delivered. Fingers crossed!

    The ring for the old cap had some corrosion on it and wasn't sealing properly so I replaced the ring, seal, bolts, and cap with replacements from Lethal Performance (actually Moroso parts). I do believe the bottom of the cap is hitting the coolant so it's pretty certain its overfilled. Thanks...

    I did replace the cap already, it's the black one in the pictures. The car used to make 1K so that's the reason for the fuel system. But, yes, going to keep it return type and replace with PTFE hoses at the earliest. Thanks for the heads up on the gauge, I will check it out.

    New '03 owner with a 'broken' car, advice needed (long post, sorry)

    OK, thanks, now I need to Google which way the system flows and which is the inlet ;). I'd say it's definitely overfilled, I'm about 1.5" below the top of the tank. It's only my 2nd ever Mustang (I'm coming from a Scion FR-S) and I've only had her 2 months or so, so it's going to be a learning...

    New '03 owner with a 'broken' car, advice needed (long post, sorry)

    That's a possibility but before this car was parked for a few years it ran fine *as is*, I'd rather not try to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to. I already need to replace the return type fuel system as the hoses are seeping, gas smells freak me out ;), and do some other stuff so trying to...

    I am now the 'proud' owner of a heavily built '03 Cobra, the car is set up for HPDE with Full Tilt Boogie everything along with Maximum Motorsports bits and Brembo BBK. Engine also has a lot of work done to it and with the VMP blower she makes 600/600 to the wheels on a conservative tune. The...
