Believe me I would love to, but we only have 9 more months left on this lease before we hopefully (fingers crossed) buy our first home. It's not worth a battle with "leased Mercedez C-class white privilige."

Finally got these on the car. I got the G-Loc R6 pads for front and rear. These pads take a while to bed in, so please allow enough mileage in your plans to accomodate this. These pads are really nice. They do have a bit of travel before you hit dead stop, which is good for brake...

Update time Nothing major to write about for the mustang. Brakes, Watts Link, and Bilsteins are holding up great! Had 2 oil changes since the last post. We had some knife like road debris puncture one of the rear tires, which turned into a pair because the other side was worn down enough...

Update time... Progress has been very slow. I haven't stopped working during Covid except for the 2 weeks we took off to move. My current garage is about 18" narrower than my old garage. This may not sound like a lot, but it makes a huge difference when setting everything up on jackstands...

Your seat belt is dirty. You can pull the slack all the way off of the belt and put a pin or clip at the shoulder guide to keep it from retracting. Dunk all of your seatbelt in a bucket of water and degreaser, let it sit for an hour. You will need to strain the dirt and water off of the...

No, the issues are out there. Not to say these clutches dont work for most people. People just dont bring up the issues because ACT is one of the cheaper options on the market, and well you get what you pay for.

ETS TMIC is very nice. Built very well and uses the outer frame plate to seal up against the intercooler feed shroud. So it forces more air through the intercooler core. I have the 3.25" core and it sits flush against the shroud through the hood scoop. CPe is the same way. They are the only...

Yes that rear passenger side is a PITA because of that fuel neck shield. Almost if not all of the rear suspension arms have the same thread bolts, just different lengths. One of the bolts for the toe arms are shorter, cant remember if its inner or outer. Regardless of which, compare bolt...

The first photo in the Reddit link. It should be noted that the picture shows a regular Mazda3 and not a Mazdaspeed3. That is important because they have less shit in the engine bay.

You are right, but I have always wondered if the shaking is exaggerated by other factors. Some being a slight slip of timing, the IM flow imbalance, or slight weight imbalance of the crank.

How smooth is your engine running now? Do you still get that awful vibration that our engines are known for between 2700-3200rpms?

Bienvenido!

Yes, most of us reuse that seal on the fuel line-> fuel rail. Just be sure not to pinch that Oring.

Speaking from experience with the HTP kit... Underengine piping is a pain in the dick to work on. You really have to have skinny arms and small hands to tighten the hot pipe properly since the downpipe will be in the way. You have to dismantle the cold pipe for several maintenance procedures...

Bienvenido hermano! Oh wait Kansas, wrong Central America... Welcome!!!

I wonder if the slight slip in timing had any hand in cracking those spark plugs

Sounds slow.

Maybe @Tomas knows how much the head can be machined/decked before being compromised.

Step 1.... The BPV should be clocked a little, then get a hose on the intake and plug that back in. I doubt you have a tune for VTA, given that ratty ass engine bay. Figure out a solution to the PCV system. The PCV plate should be run back to the intake manifold plug BUT only after you throw...

I am so sorry you inherited such a project. The intake manifold is a ported stock manifold, hence why you do not have the butterfly valves. The intercooler could be a CPe kit. You intake is more than likely an HTP intake. If you had a flash tuner like the Cobb AP or Versatuner, then for sure...
