    Driveshaft grenaded, is the tc done too?

    With the front wheels off the ground, turn the output shaft of the Tcase. It should be smooth. If there is any grinding or crunchy action there is big trouble. Also feel for changes in how smooth it turns. If the vibes were short lived it is possible they came from the joint failure. You...

    I like Doritos

    A missed opportunity. Ive seen 2.3Lturbo pintos do 13s with stock parts. It was a slam dunk swap too.

    I like Doritos

    I was on that project in the early 2000s. I had gutted an 88 Thunderbird Turbocoupe. Rebuilt the 2.3L EFI turbo intercooled engine and was looking for a body. I was looking for a 74 Pinto or a MustangII. The hotrod scene has all the front suspension options for cheap. Sold all the...

    Building for the road course...again

    Youve worked hard on this. Its nice to see it coming together. I think the patience is because you get to sit back and see what your work rewards you with! Need more of that exhaust...That is the best sounding Honda I have heard yet! I hope it screams up top too...that would be cake!

    Clunking (not diff)

    I dont think your 1-2 issues will be rectified by replacing the mount, these cars are cable shifted.

    Clunking (not diff)

    Lift the trans lightly with a jack and a piece of wood, just enough to see the play in that transmission mount. Its bad. If that mount is bad also check the dogbone shaped mount at the back of the engine from underneath.

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    Although Im not a good log reader, I tried looking at the logs in the OP. I see your LTFT runs between 0 & -10. Although that isnt optimal and should be tightened up, its not grossly out of whack. Its bad, but not that bad. Have you spoken to your tuner? Your STFT do fluctuate a lot under...

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    What are you running for a BPV? Can you swap it out for another? It is normal for the AFR to richen when the brakes are applied, the booster is putting an air load on the engine which is post MAF. Something else is the issue making it hard for the computer to maintain proper AFR.

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    Are you still going lean with brake application, still having the same issues? Or do you mean that nothing changes when the brakes are applied?

    Showroom Paint job

    Looks great! Keep it up and the work will pay off long term. I have posted some threads in the 3/6 Detailing section if you are interested. I hope to get back at it once my new garage is completed.

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    Dont change things until you know that is the source of the problem. You need to plug the intake port and see if the situation improves. As for right now its just a hunch. If the problems are because of the power brakes system, plugging the intake port will answer that question. Then you...

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    I dont have a picture of the valve, its built into the hose. I would block @ the intake manifold first. If you symptoms improve, the hose, check valve or booster are the issue. If no change, hose/check valve/booster are not your issue.

    StreetSpeed’s DD 500+ MS6 Build

    My opinion is OEM axles are commonly better quality than A/M brands. Ive dealt with too many fitment issues and engineering differences to trust them, especially when low priced. However I have found a shop through a friend at my local NAPA that makes custom shafts. They will weld on new...

    Wandering AFRs and crazy fuel trims at partial throttle

    Yes, plug the connection point at the engine and see if your issues improve. Edit: GP9A43490A is the part number for the hose with built in check valve, which is regrettably discontinued by Mazda.
