    Went autocrossing yesterday, learned alot of stuff, need advise.

    Use synthetic oil. Make damn sure you use GOOD brake pads that don't gas up under extreme heat. Slotted rotors are a good precautionary measure but don't buy high dollar rotors since they tend to get toasted in those conditions.

    Winter beater

    Normally I would sneer at your cowardice. But after getting airborne sideways into a field and having to put up with the resulting body-work, I am going to agree that you should not attempt high speed drifting around corners in January. :D

    Is this all I need to fix my yellow headlights?

    Remove lamp assemblies from car. Saw off the 3 stubs on each llamp lens. Use a squirt bottle (febreze etc.) to spray water on lens. Wet sand with 3M Imperial wet or dry 400 grit sandpaper. Wipe lens clean with wet sponge, wet sand with 600 or 1000 grit. Wipe clean, wet sand with...

It's a speed density with ranger header and full 2-1/4" exhaust, 5.0 air filter box and an open tube, higher compression, ranger roller cam, and I tried monkeying with the...

    Raised compression, now motor wants 20 deg spark advance to idle, whats with that?

    Put the timing light on it, well the computer was giving it 20 degrees advance anyways so I cranked it up to 20 base (spout out) then went for a drive, with knock sensor disconnected. No improvement. I even tried taping the EGR valve position sensor halfway in and all that did was lean it out...

    Raised compression, now motor wants 20 deg spark advance to idle, whats with that?

    it's just the roller cam from the Ranger/91+ Mustang. Doesn't seem to have made two ****s of difference. :mad: Then again the motor keeps breaking the clutch loose on a fast shift (clutch was fine before) so maybe it was a LOT slower than I remember. I put 89 octane in today and ran the piss...

    Yes it is 12mm but if a Snap-On ratchet would not fit in there, what will?

    Driveshaft bolt removal

    When you heat a part red hot and then let it cool that tempers it. It is probably not as good a tempered bolt from a manufacturer, but it will be PLENTY hard. Heating a part up, then letting it cool SLOWLY, by very gradually removing heat, is what anneals it by giving the molecules time to...
