I had new 1974 2002tii. Back in the day, the car was the shitz. It was a fast cornering fuel injected
limited slip rear-end 4-banger manual that surprised a lot of people. Very few people knew about these cars. I finally sold it in 2015. Mechanically, they were not bad to work on except
tuning...
I always wondered about this. I've been told that this does not happen as much anymore. I forgot how or why.
In any case, I stopped using Costco gas about 12 years ago after my sensitive setting knock sensors went
berserk on my new motor in my 02 Lightning. I quickly drove around for a couple...
Go to a large motorcycle dealership, i.e. Harley Davidson to get an idea. M/C helmets are not allowed on
most race tracks, but at least you can get an idea on fitting capabilities by different manufactures.
In my amateur drag racing days, Bell was my preferred brand (full face). Make sure the expiration
date in the liner is still good. The track officials will prevent you from any racing if the date is past due.
Don't go cheap. Remember you only have one head.
Same here. IMO the operative word is 'consistency'. Do it warm all the time, do it cold all
the time, do it 15 minutes after shut down all the time, etc. and do it on a level surface as
much as possible. And something about the cross hatch facing the motor when taking a
reading. Don't know if...
Good to have you in the valley. I just had my oil changed this past Wednesday @ Sanderson Ford which would be a drive from your future residence,
but I recommend them. I used to travel to Tucson to service one of my vehicles a long time ago. Therefore, I am kind of picky myself. There are...
Just noticed the stickey. One of the most informative threads, especially for new members
and new viewers. It took a little over a year, but well worth it.
Great idea and job, Tank.

Press the OK button on steering wheel for a few seconds before
pushing Start button. The Engineering Test Mode should show up.
Got my mustang from Auto Nation Scottsdale and my 350 from S Carolina.
There are 3 dealerships that are closer to me but IMO the most knowlegeable,
mod-friendly, and trustworthy dealership,so far, has been Sanderson Ford.
You can use any dealership you want but I think the three freebie oil...
Interesting thread....I have a Jetta, also....VR6 with no oil usage at all. This
car has surprised the unknowingly quite a few times with its Tiptronic feature.
I kind of know where you are coming from and my other vehicles are used
for its intended purposes mostly.
If I need to be...
Speaking of little kids....yesterday, some 5,6,7 year olds were playing soccer in
their front yard and their soccer ball went into the street. Parents taught them well.
"do not go into the street". I stopped and the oncoming traffic stopped too. I threw
the ball back into their yard and the...
Exactly same situation here. I ran it hard 2 or 3 times in the hot temps back
in Oct, 2017 to make sure it was a coolant leak for Ford svc dept. They noticed
a small leak in the lower right corner of the radiator. The radiator and the oil
cooler tube assembly (lines) were replaced under...
Changing to BG Synchroshift II soon on the 350. On my boosted GTPP, night and day difference in shifting the MT82....no grinding or missed gates.
Maybe need more seat time on the 350 (acquired Sept 2017..1500 miles to date), but the Tremec 3160 has been finicky so far. We'll see if BG...
I currently have both plus my baby...compound boost 02 Lightning. If one has the resourses, an FI GTPP w/ mods versus a factory GT350 is a tough call. As others have alluded to, what are your plans and goals.
IMO, vehicles are meant to be driven...not garaged. To me, depreciation or limited...
