I haven't driven my car since Chuckwalla on April 1. Been too busy to replace the radiator and put the street brakes back on it.

 

If my Fiesta ST was less fun to drive I'd probably be more depressed about all this time...

 

I'm lucky enough to be able to steal the wife's car when ever I want. So it has been holding me over. I should get it back going in July. I know the feeling of not driving a project for a long time. I took my offroad truck apart in 2011, and it's been sitting ever since.

 

I feel less bad now about my Evo being down 3+ years...although that's gonna be resolved soon

That's a great idea if you did the head.

I hear ya. Some of you guys are lucky enough to have a career related to your passion. Or are single and without kids haha.

 

Wow, what a nightmare.
Happy birthday. Hope it all comes together soon.

 

Things are looking up...

 

That's scary close.

 

less scary than touching...

 

Plenty of clearance, but that wideband sensor is way below level

 

Yea, probably going to put that back in the testpipe. There is no way these bungs where placed with "OEM specs in mind".

Meh

 

Absolutely! But how much movement can the DP and driveshaft swing on a track?

 

Theres not much movement there. Especially with upgraded motor mounts. And if they do move, they move up/down from the engine rocking back and forth. They don't move side-to-side.

 

In a effort to make the car quieter plus maybe (hopefully) deepen the exhaust note since the more equal length MAP cast manifold tends to make the exhaust sound higher pitched, I added two mini mufflers to the exhaust system.

If the car ever gets started we'll see if it changed anything.

 

I plan on doing that to the wifes car when we put a test pipe on it. Just to keep it quiet lol
