yippie new motorcraft plugs - SP-580's iridium. oldies had a gap .040 plus - new in box ones were about .030 left at .030 didn't have to remove back brace - tongue on right side of cheek helped . just unclipped a couple of harnesses as needed. wiggle the big rear one a big - easy peasy !

Yesterday I pulled the trigger in having a motor reman that's being built this week with a Raptor crankshaft and sprocket and something else that I'm not going to mention yet. It'll take five days to complete the engine so hopefully should have it by the end of next week.
Fingers crossed everything goes good after the ******** for the past 3 months with engines.

How much was that? How much to treat a full tank of 93?

Dammit, man...I need details!

It was $204 for 15 gallons. I’m going to premix 5 gallons at a time so 1.33 gallons of X85 to 3.67 gallons of 93. I’m not concerned with testing 93. I have meth too and I’ll just add 1.5 gallons of X85 to 3.7 gallons of 93. I should be able to get 50 gallons of E30 out of the 15 gallons I bought. I need to call the track and inquire about them selling it per gallon...then I can refill each one for 45 instead of the 67 or whatever it was for the pale as well.

Yes that is why I call myself 802 also...not sure everyone knew that. That’s the only significance of those numbers. It’s the area code.

Well the new struts are in, just need to do final torque on everything.

Still waiting on shipping confirmation for my turbos, but after doing some scoping last night I decided to go ahead and pick up a set of the new revision manifolds since mine are rusted and nasty and I have a feeling I'm going to snap some studs when I go to remove them. Plan to port match them to the turbos once they arrive. I also ordered all of the remaining components that didn't come in the Mahle turbo kits, so we'll see how that goes once they arrive.

Ready to get the car back on the ground, test the sway bar a little bit and then run it off to alignment and new rear tires in the morning.

Side note, my wife's dome light went out in her Kia Sorento a few weeks ago, replaced the bulb with another incandescent and it lasted 2 days before going out again. Decided to toss in one of my leftover LED bulbs from when I converted the SHO, damn that thing's bright. Now she wants me to upgrade the rest of her car to LED lol.

yea I went with new PP struts. my passenger side was gone, took 5 seconds to return to rest on a rebound test. I was going to go with coilovers from AMR Engineering but decided to go with this for now since I like the way the car performs as is.

What brand/seller are those? I haven't had good luck with LED bulbs.

I have Diode Dynamics for everything but the switchbacks. They flickered anytime the orange was used, but I went off a few recommendations and got AuxLights off Amazon and they've been working flawlessly.

I installed my battery tie down that I got from Lee. I love it so much and just can't thank Lee enough for making these for us! I put some rubber washers underneath the nuts to protect the powder coating.

Well shes back on the road and took her maiden voyage. Kept it out of the creek so that's a plus. Alignment and tires tomorrow then I'll put the sway bar to the test.

Also got my battery tie down installed and repainted the coolant cap (was chrome) and installed it.

 

[802SHO]

Got mine too thanks @FiveLeeter918

No sure how cold it gets up in Vermont, but does that battery work well for the winter? Been debating on getting one I just worry that 550 CCA won't be enough for MN winter.

Dropped off ptu for professional cleaning yesterday and a seal to be installed as it was leaking transmission fluid out the axle hole. Picked up a new crank pulley bolt and that should be the final piece to balancing the rotating assembly completely
