Winning combo everytime.

Sounds interesting enough....never tried either.....20 bucks a sixer...? Whoa.

Maybe I'll try it....my life could use a little changing....

yeah it's a good... great beer. Get an orange, slice and squeeze into beer. You don't have to but it enhances it a little... life changing... i dunno. I guess if you're used to drinking tastless fizzy yellow beer backed by a multi-million dollar campaign that promises hot chicks, then yeah it does..

20 a sixer... isn't it around 8-9 bucks at bevmo ??

Hey Robbie were you out on the highway today around Noon? I think I saw you behind me(no pun intended, lol). I think you got off at Fruitville? Pretty sure it was you, if it wasn't there's a clone of your car. Haha

Looking for opinions on the following...

I've got two stock spares coming. My plan is to get rid of the tires and keep the rims. Then getting the cheapest 185/60/17 tires I can find and putting them on the rims. That way I've got skinnies for the front although ghetto it's does the job. I would put them on at the track and not drive there like I do now with the stock 17's I got from Dan.

Thoughts?

Okay, changed the oil today. Color was still a medium golden brown with no shavings evident on a white rag that I drained through.
I'm glad I was able to spin off the filter without issues because the new Lightning housing has the filter going sideways and is pretty clost to the crossmember.

I sounded/felt like the water in the tank thing again, but this time much worse. Now I think it's not water, but possibly the tune, vacuum leak, or the worst possible, the piston coating. Motor would not immediately turn over, sounded pretty bad, like a weak battery and a blown head gasket kind of sound.

Luckily after sitting for a few mins, the car started again, but ran really rough for around a minute, but magically cleared up like nothing happened.

After I got home, I rev'd it to 4500 parked and in neutral and the bog came back, but this time with a puff of smoke out the driver's side exhaust and smelled pretty bad (like some funk was burning).

I'll be calling MMR on Monday to get some ideas.

Here's the vid Chris shot just as it stalled out.

Not too loud at all. In fact, I love it!

I was just asking out of curiosity.

I have no big trumpeting at 2500, the 4.10's took care of that.

It's funny you asked because I thought I saw you on Friday and if it was you it was the first time I've seen you around. Yesterday (Saturday) I was on 75 in the stang, I got off at university to go to home depot but I didn't see you if it was me. However on Friday I think I passed you around 11:30am on 75 around SR64 or 70 maybe. I was in my Expedition though. Did you notice a big lifted 4x4 Expedition pass you doing about 90. It's black and has 4 lights in the grill and 4 on the roof with a rack.

Puff of white smoke? Or black? Sounds a bit like a head gasket or some other water leaking into the wrong places....especially since is cleaned up....hmmmmm.

The bog sounds like fuel starvation....ouch....not again.

Good to get things checked before the nightmare starts all over again.

Haha, I think I did see your Expedition pass me the other day. Yeah I definitely saw you on Saturday then, it was University where I saw you exit. I was maybe a 1/4 mile ahead of you. I saw you riding some car that was in front of you and you moved to the middle lane and thats when I started to slow down to check the Mustang out but you had exit already.

My mustang doesn't have a spoiler and I have the rear faux gas cap and key hole shaved. Just a clean unmarked rear.

I got screwed by the shop who did my s/c install. I've since then started going to the Brandon area Coastal Dyno. Sam's the shop owner and tuner. Good guy. I've heard good things about him from other forums.
