    Some mobile home questions

    Mobile homes have a HUD Certification number affixed to it. Double wide homes need HUD tags affixed to both units. The tag means it complies with federal safety standards. Typically the life span of an average quality grade mobile home is between 25-45 years. Higher quality grade homes have a...

    Do you name your car

    I went as low as 18. Married my wife when she turned 21 and I'm 20 years older than her. I'm happy.

    Do you name your car

    My friend named my car a Sears Point (Blue Ghost) because I disappeared on track from his GT500.

    Seats

    I installed the Seat Track Extender Kit on my 2007 Mustang. I realize that it raised the seat 3/4 inch but I really enjoy the leg room for my 6'3" frame. My problem is that my helmet sticks to the roof liner on road course corners during HPDE days. I didn't keep the original rails, so I can't...

    Help, is this shifter stock or no?

    I thought MGW was the only way to go in S197 Mustangs. Why did you choose Barton?

    Smooth Ride Tires

    I'm currently on Bridgestone RE-11s, 275/40/18 square set up for track days. However my track days are now limited to two times a year because of work/family commitments. I'm thinking of storing the Bridgestone tires and looking for a smoother riding tire to drive about 125 miles weekly for...

    Driver's seat rail modifications for tall people

    Well after installation and my first track day afterwards, my helmet sticks to the roof liner in turns. The installer has a fabricator at his shop, but he died of Covid. Now I'm looking for another shop to see if they can give me back that 3/4" of height. I usually sit upright for track days...

    Who’s bought a ‘project’ house before?

    As an RE appraiser. It's location, location, location. Condition is also important. For example, the estimated age may be close to its actual age in which some of the short-lived building components need replacement but may still function adequately. I've purchased mid-century homes and newer...

    New Wheels, between Black or Bronze, Didn’t regret my choice!

    The Bronze color sets off the black Brembo calipers and just highlights the overall look. Great choice!

    Seat swap with airbag?

    I replaced the foam in the driver side seat bottoms and side bolsters. My girth apparently wore them out after 12 years. What a difference! It was worth it and cost me $400 which included installing longer seat rails too. The Recaro Specialist seats I was looking at were about $1,100 each.

    antifreeze

    If memory serves me well, antifreeze and water wetter reduces engine temps about 10 degrees. Water wetter and distilled water reduces temps 30 degrees. I recommend using distilled water and water wetter.

Dini Dino Bambino mentioned unmetered air entering engine downstream of MAF sensor, will a...

    Light blue smoke

    I just noticed the same issue with my car. Changed oil and CAI filter, then went to the road course track for two twenty minute sessions about a week ago. The next day at start up, a small cloud of smoke and the smell of fuel. Similar issues of the original posting member, however my engine oil...
