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.

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

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

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.
