I've done a few "wheel spins" lately haha. Glad to hear she's up and running good on the first shot.

Installed the 3" rear studs and installed the new Enkei PF01 18x 10.5" wheels and Toyo RS1 slicks.

Also, a little Photoshop fun.

The entire insulator is gone as well as the center electrode but it also looks like the side electrode is also pushed in evenly and consistently with the other plugs. If you look at the center of the electrode it has a little dimple like all of the others have.

Also, what is the oil about like Dave mentioned?

Oil looks fine. Most of that is antisieze that I put on when I installed the plugs. I think that the 10k miles on the plugs with the consistent use of the wot box killed them lol

Car made 495/495 with them like that. It kind of had a studder that had been getting worse over time. I guess it was the porcelain piece closing in on the ground strap

Edit: Lito doesn't think the wot box caused it. These may have been the earlier design of these plugs. I will be sending him a log with the new plugs! It seems like it got worse over time so I don't think one event necessarily killed them

Finally got around to putting tint on the turn signals










The only problem with the vinyl tint from American Muscle is that it leaves a very small lip of orange still. I stretched the tint, then heated it some and stretched it again. I didn't want to put too much heat on the area though with the fresh paint. In the spring I will remove the signals and just do the VHT Nite Shade treatment on them so that it gets full coverage.

Went to my first car show, ended up with 1st place trophy for 2010+ class - very surprised. (About 8-9 coyotes + few v6s and two 4.6s)

Ran once last night, first time with this car, first time driving a manual car on the strip at all...ran a 13.286 at 107.xxmph. Overall very exciting for me!

I removed my diff and welded the axle tubes,relocation brackets, installed a scott drake girdle cover and coated it with some paint. Also moved up front and installed che torque limiters which solved my 3rd gear shift issue(already had poly motor mounts and poly filled trans mount) and finished off with some synchromesh oil which also made a big difference compared to what I'm assuming was the stock 60k mile oil but who knows. Very productive weekend but my damn body is killing me lol.

Broke dafuk down
Installed a bmr k member... can't believe I did not do this sooner! Holy crap easy install and screw the weight savings I would do it again just for how much it opens everything up. Finished that and pulled the trans (again) in no time

Changed the oil. Looked at installing the Braided clutch line but ran out of Mojo since I had already changed the oil in the wife's car and my truck so I left it up on stands. I'll probably finish it up tonight.

^I'm sure you probably know but the first transmission shop that worked on mine did not. Those clips that hold the transmission lines do not need to be removed completely from the line. They just pull out about 1/4" and then you can pull the line off.

Thanks. I was trying to remember that as I was looking at them. The one on the firewall looks like it's going to be fun fun fun...

I really should get around to installing the one I've had in basement for few months now.. but its more the bumpsteer kit that I'd do at sametime, particularly needing correct alignment.
