Drove for about an hour with no engine light. Not much traffic so I decided to try a couple of 0-60 runs and the light came on again on the second run. Pushed some buttons on the Cobb AP and it said P04DB, which is PCV disconnected. Ummm, no, it isn't, I just double-checked that for the second time a couple days ago. Googled it and read that lots of EB drivers have gotten the same code for no obvious reason, so I reset it and I'll see if it comes back.

Your stress test (0-60) caused the codes...

Took a nice cruise with my Cars & Coffee gang to Plumb Island here in MA. Great top down weather yesterday after a week of stifling humidity. Of course the last ten minutes heading home I hear a ping on my passenger door...rock chip. A small one that I shoukd be able to make disappear.

Wife and I took both cars to the NH Mustang Club annual picnic.
Had a great time, nice people and cars.
The location is on a private road, the owner was heard (by me, for sure ) saying that if you ate their food you have to leave rubber when you leave.
Who am I not to comply with such a request?
I promptly laid down twin stripes for about 100 feet.

Some pics:
























Funny that of all these white/blue-stripes Shelbys, the one with the biggest engine and most horsepower was driven by a woman. My wife.

Yeah, most likely. Short easy drive today with no code.

Gabe, that looks like a great way to spend a day. Do you get many visitors there from the lakes region of western Maine?

Gabe - where’s the twin stripes for proof??? I need to see this alleged burning rubber

I don’t even know how to do that. Is that just flooring it and letting her rip? Hehe

It sure was a great time.
Most visitors go to the Lakes region or Maine, from Southern NH, Mass, RI, even Connecticut.
Don't see many from Maine in my area (Southern NH)

No proof of the burnout, nobody was expecting me to do it, nobody knew I was gonna do it except for my wife, and she didn't film it.
This is the only video I have, my wife and I quickly getting onto the main road from the parking lot.




As far as the burnout, my usual is to do a quick clutch dump, then jump on the brake pedal while working the throttle to keep it from bumping off the rev limiter, which comes up very quickly even when it's 7,000 rpm, lol.
If you let go of the brakes a bit you can control a nice long burnout, then let go of the brakes and take off in a smoky wheelspin

This was about 5 years ago, well before the blower.
Recorded by a buddy on his phone, sorry about the quality

Went ahead and reinstalled the stock 3:55 ring and pinion gears, as I didn't feel the need for 4:10 gear ratio with 5 spd manual and Saleen VI blower. Most of my driving is on the highway at cruising speeds and felt that gaining top end at 2000-2500 RPM was more important than gaining low end off the line quicker. At any rate, I'll be listing the 4:10 ring and pinion gears up for sale.

good stuff Rocky. What was the rpm at 60mph cruising with the 4.10 vs the 3.55? I’m at 3.73 and I’m trying to remember where it’s at on mine. Under 2k I think

Burton, according to my calculations at 60mph the RPM was 2000 with the 4:10's in 5th gear. At 70mph, RPM was at 2500 in 5th gear with the 4:10's. At 2000 RPM with the 3:55's in 5th gear, my cruising speed increased by 10MPH at 70MPH and at 2500RPM in 5th gear my cruising speed increased by another 10MPH at 80MPH. Therefore with 3:73's I'm guessing you should be under 2000RPM at 60MPH especially if you have a 6-speed manual trans and also with a 5speed manual as well

Thanks Rocky... yeah, it’s been a while since I paid attention to that.

I tightened up some bolts on the Kooks mid pipes to the side pipes. I was hearing a squeak on accel and decel, hopefully it was one of those.

Fixed my door panel. Not perfect but it will do for now. Hopefully it will hold for a while!
