So yesterday I decided to bolt up the drag radials and go racing. $10 race night, can't beat that even with the heat and humidity (love Florida lol).

I picked up these Mickeys when the Mach was being painted. They had been sitting for awhile and needed a few passes to wake them up. Sadly, my night was cut short courtesy of a coolant leak. The bypass hose came in contact with the crank pulley and had a pinhole leak. I got 3 runs in, with this being the best:

That was my 2nd run. The 3rd I cut a 1.8 60 foot but over revved 2nd and smacked the limited

Revenge with the 1/4 will come soon!

Perfect. I would have preferred silver myself, but it looks great with your theme. Shots from the back of the car showing the meats?

She looks great! I'm pretty sure I follow you on Instagram. Love the choice of hood stripe you had painted on.

I know its an old thread, all the same...nice ride! I saw someone say sorry about the bad luck on the brake fluid spray, it looks like it turned out all good. Sweet rims, what kind are they?

Hi! I guess I should update this. So, here we go!

since I've purchased the car, I've been dealing with cooling system issues. The latest round revolves around a radiator. I replaced my leaky stocker with an SVE radiator back in July 2014. It featured a lifetime warranty and pretty positive reviews on LRS and seemed like a cost efficient alternative to the factory terminator/mach 1. Everything was fine til September 2014 when my car overheated on the way to work. Cooling system was empty, so topped off and pressure tested and what did I find:

a leaky radiator! Called LRS, sent some pics, they sent me a new one and I was back to motoring after a few days

Fast forward to late October. While commuting in wonderful Orlando traffic on a friday, the Mach overheated again. This time it REALLY overheated, thanks fellow commuters. Towed it to work, refilled the cooling system and surprise! Another leak! Called LRS, got angry, they 2nd day air a radiator and a t-shirt to me. Got the new radiator on tuesday, no t-shirt included. Installed the new one, bled the cooling system and tucked her away for my morning commute. Tried to drive it to work yesterday, didn't even make it a mile down the road without the temp shooting up. This time, the Mach was giving me a new sign of trouble: white smoke from the tail-pipe and scent of burning coolant. Awesome. Both head gaskets were blown. So, home she came and the tear down started
